   Zeit für Brot

   ☕ Cafe · Mitte

   The maple walnut bun and the white chocolate raspberry bun are gooey in the middle; filming the bakers isn't allowed.

   Annelies

   🍴 Restaurant · Kreuzberg

   Nearby Kreuzberg kebab shops are said to be just as good or better, often without the queue.

5. 12:52

   Monkey Bar

   🍺 Bar · Charlottenburg

   It's rum-heavy; the Monkey Mai Tai stands out, and one cocktail's proceeds help a female orangutan visible from the windows.

6. 15:32

   Green Door

   🍺 Bar · Schöneberg

   Try the Harvest with rowanberry spirit and Greek mountain tea, or a jalapeño Tommy's margarita twist with mezcal.

9. 20:30

   Wen Cheng Handmade Noodles
