Welcome to Malzcafé Alte Mälzerei, a charming café nestled in the heart of Berlin, specifically at Steinstraße 41, Erdgeschoss. This quaint spot combines the warmth of a local hangout with the vibrant energy of a bustling library, making it an ideal destination for both bookworms and coffee enthusiasts alike.

As you step inside this delightful café, you are greeted by the inviting aromas of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods. The interior, decorated in a cozy, unpretentious style, exudes a friendly and relaxed vibe, making it the perfect spot for a casual meetup or a peaceful alone time with your favorite book from the adjacent library.

Do not miss out on their popular offerings, particularly the much-praised apple strudel, which comes with a perfectly flaky pastry and a hint of cinnamon that will transport your taste buds to a simpler time. Pair it with a rich cappuccino, delightfully frothed to perfection—a recommendation that comes straight from our delighted customer Gerito Vladimirova, who raved about the combination. The café also offers a selection of other sweet treats, including delicious waffles and various pastries, allowing for a delightful afternoon indulgence.

For families, this café serves as a welcoming stop before or after visiting the library. Benjamin Kübler appreciates the friendly atmosphere and the kid-friendly menu options, making it a great place to unwind with your loved ones. Korana Krieger’s spontaneous visit to the café emphasized the café's unique architectural charm and the transient parking challenge, which should not deter you from exploring this gem.

Really good apple strudel and an even better cappuccino! Cute small place, with great service too. I came too early for the library to be open, but I imagine sitting down for a warm drink after getting some books is even better! Will definitely be coming by again!

Spontane Entscheidung „lass uns ein neues Café besuchen“ Da wir mit unserem Termin in Mahlow fertig waren, ging es ein paar km weiter nach Berlin rein. Interessantes Gebäude. Momentan ist die Parkplatz Situation etwas kompliziert, lasst Euch davon nicht abschrecken. Es lohnt sich hier einzukehren. Wenn wir hier nochmal in der Nähe sind, kommen wir gerne wieder.

Beautiful café which invites for drinking a coffee and eating waffles with kids after or before going to public library.
