Five Elephant Mitte

★ 4.3 (1,808)$ · Budget-friendly

Five Elephant Mitte carries the same reputation as its Kreuzberg sibling, and reviewers who make the trip specifically because of that reputation say it lives up to the hype. Its rotating batch brews, including single-origin Colombia and Kenya options, get called out by name, alongside the now-signature cheesecake. Baristas come across as friendly and attentive even as the shop stays busy, and with a 4.3 rating over more than 1,800 reviews, it's earned its place among Berlin's most name-checked coffee stops. It suits coffee enthusiasts wanting to compare single-origin brews rather than casual drop-ins.

✨ Reasons to go

1Rotating single-origin batch brews such as Colombia and Kenya are a signature draw, letting visitors compare origins side by side.
