Nestled in the heart of Berlin’s Schöneberg district, Café BilderBuch stands as a treasured spot for locals and travelers alike, offering a charming atmosphere that feels like a warm hug. Located at Akazienstraße 28, this cozy café not only serves delightful meals but also reflects a unique essence of home, adorned with shelves of books and a mix of eclectic furnishings that invite you to settle in and soak up the enjoyment of leisure.

As you step inside, you are enveloped in a sense of serenity. Choose to sit outside on the sidewalk, watching the world pass by, or retreat to the inviting back area where large tents shield you from the daily hustle while allowing the gentle hum of conversation to lift your spirits. For a more intimate vibe, the interiors boast comfortable couches surrounded by books — the perfect nook for unwinding with a good read or simply indulging in deep thought.

The menu is as heartwarming as the ambiance. Dive into Frühstück options that cater to both the whimsical and classic flavors. Children will delight in the ZWERG NASE, a playful breakfast featuring a butter roll with creamy nut spread, complemented by a warm drink and a surprise chocolate egg for just €6.90. For adults seeking a hearty morning treat, the breakfast platter with homemade spreads is a must-try; think creamy chickpea and garlic spread, zesty aubergine purée, and a spiced avocado salad at just €13.50.

Don't miss out on their sweet offerings! Indulge in the Schokotraum, a decadent trio of chocolate ice cream or the Früchtebecher, a fruit-filled delight served with two scoops of velvety vanilla and a scoop of strawberry ice cream — a symphony of flavors for €8.90!

Real patrons of Café BilderBuch have echoed sentiments of its inviting environment. As Suzanne Durkacs beautifully puts it, it’s a “cozy atmosphere inside and out,” with food that satisfies, ranging from goat cheese salads to herring, all while appreciating the delay as part of the café's charm. Meanwhile, Kirstjen Lorenz expresses that if she lived in Berlin, this would be her go-to spot for solo meals, thanks to its lovely ambience and attentive service.

Amongst the delightfully curated decor, Ghassan Zein discovered an enchanting hidden gem, emphasizing the feeling of home and warmth radiated by the friendly staff. Art often adorns the space, and live piano music on Sundays adds a unique cultural dimension to your visit — an experience that Guido Kuhn regards worth every penny, despite some higher price points.

Though there may be a minor inconvenience with the restroom located outside, the overall charm and culinary delights of Café BilderBuch far outweigh this small drawback. Bo fondly recalls his memorable breakfast experience, remarking on the ample portions served in a beautifully laid-back atmosphere, enhancing companionship and conversation amongst friends.

Whether you're looking to start your day with a hearty breakfast, unwind in a cozy nook, or enjoy a sweet indulgence, Café BilderBuch is not just a café; it’s a delightful haven waiting to be your next favorite spot in Berlin.

Cozy atmosphere inside and out. Sit on the sidewalk and watch the people go by or sit in the back under a big tent protecting you from the sun and rain. Sit inside surrounded by books and cozy couches. The food wasn’t bad either, I had a big goat cheese salad. My husband had herring. It took a long time before a server arrived to take our order.

Lovely ambience in this cozy cafe filled with books and comfortable seating. If I lived in Berlin, I'd want to live around the corner from this place and eat all of my solo meals here. Good food, good service.

A hidden gem to a beautiful cosy experience, you feel like home! Make sure to ask for a table in the inside area where the magic is. The lady there is super friendly and took really care of us. Desert was really good and coffee was better! Definitely a 5!

Very nice location and famous for its breakfast in an individual atmosphere with old furniture. It is like being in a big room with different living rooms with different styless. Prices are very high but worth to pay. Often live piano on Sunday and different artists showing their paintings and if you like, you can buy.

Place with very interesting atmosphere and tasty dishes. There are an open kitchen and 2 different halls. Salon looks really impressive with all that furniture, books and music instrument. One small disadvantage is that WC locates outside of the building.

Such a nice and unique spot for breakfast. We ordered the large breakfast platter (we were 4 people, 15 Eur each) and were so full and content with what we got. It's a great spot for breakfast/brunch with friends. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will absolutely got there again and highly recommend it.
