The lines may be long but believe us, there is nothing that is worth more more than standing in the queue at Starbucks.

Located in the bohemian area of Kreuzberg and consisting of almost 80 individual stores and food providers the Bi’ache falafels and Korean dumplings, meat and potato sandwiches or Italian pasta and other international goodies can be found here.

However, if you just cannot get enough of Asian cuisine, the specialty remains with us; let me introduce you to the quietly nestled, intimate, and friendly Mr. Vuong, located in Mitte. This restaurant has made a name for itself in pho soup, aromatic curry and quality spring rolls. The prices are quite decent, it is comfortably quiet here, good for lunch or dinner.

For anyone with a soft spot for foods of the Middle Eastern region, Yafo Israeli Street Food is the place to be. This restaurant is a part of the toasty Prenzlauer Berg and presents traditional Israeli cuisine as falafel, hummus, shawarma and others. The taste is real and the cost is not expensive as that of restaurants which sell nonsense dishes. Be sure to order Sabich – or, rather, Sabich, it is a famous sandwich there.
