Discover BEN RAHIM, a coffee hideaway tucked down a narrow Mitte passage past the shopfronts. Settle into its calm, oasis-like setting for friendly service and solid coffee, worth the slightly higher price for the atmosphere alone.

Reasons to go

Founded in 2015 by Tunisian-born Ben Rahim, the cafe was among Berlin's first specialty coffee shops to fold in an Arabic-influenced concept alongside third-wave brewing.
The original entrance sits on an alleyway leading toward the historic Hackesche Höfe courtyard complex in Mitte.
The cafe expanded into an adjacent space toward the end of 2019, roughly doubling its original footprint.

📖

Full description

BEN RAHIM Berlin rewards a bit of exploration: reviewers describe finding it down a narrow passage lined with shops and restaurants, tucked away from the busier street outside, which makes arriving feel like discovering a genuine oasis. Once inside, the atmosphere and location get consistent praise, along with friendly staff and solid coffee.

The one recurring gripe is price, particularly for its smashed-avocado-style dishes, which some reviewers found steeper than expected. At 4.2 stars across more than 2,200 reviews, it's a good pick for those willing to pay a bit more for atmosphere in central Mitte.

Reviews

One more excellent speciality coffee shop in Berlin. They are all worth a stop over. This one provides some oriental style feeling. The coffee was mild, clear & smooth … and incredibly lovely to drink
