Five Elephant Kreuzberg

Five Elephant: Berlin's Pioneering Specialty Coffee Roaster and hidden Cake Gem

Nestled in the heart of Berlin's vibrant Kreuzberg district, Five Elephant has been a trailblazer in the city's specialty coffee scene since 2010. Founded by Kris and Sophie Schackman, this roastery, café, and bakery has earned a reputation for its unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability. Five Elephant's dedication to direct trade relationships with coffee producers and meticulous in-house roasting has positioned them as a leader in the third-wave coffee movement, not just in Berlin, but globally.

At their original Kreuzberg location on Reichenberger Straße 101, visitors can experience the essence of Five Elephant's philosophy. The café offers a rotating selection of single-origin espressos and filter coffees, all roasted nearby at their Glogauer Straße facility. Their coffee menu showcases a diverse range of flavors, typically featuring five espresso and five filter roasts that change with the seasons. But Five Elephant isn't just about exceptional coffee – their cheesecake has achieved near-legendary status among locals and tourists alike. The minimalist, welcoming atmosphere of the café, complete with street-side seating, invites coffee enthusiasts to engage in conversations about their shared passion while savoring expertly crafted beverages and irresistible baked goods.
