So this cafe/record shop is not one I would especially go for the coffee but its definitely the kind of place you wander into and are totally surprised by. It is a quirky cafe come record shop specialising in classical and some jazz records and I must state, only records, this is a vinyl lovers places and they have a brilliant John Peel quotation on the wall about the love of vinyl. The ambiance is great as you sit there, listen and have a nice cuppa. The host is incredibly friendly and welcoming and we had a really good time here. The decor is a mix match of 50's and 60's retro furniture, old radios, great film and music posters and every corner of the place draws your eye. If you like classical music, this could be the cafe of your dreams and if you don't, don't let that put you off. The music is not invasive but just sets the tone for a relaxing and chilled experience and another unique find in Berlin. The people who come here are seem really friendly and know the owner very well. The only food on offer here is cakes but they do a couple of nice ones particularly the cheesecake. They also have some really great music evening with various Berlin players and ensembles, check their website for listings. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
