Berlin wakes up every morning to the aroma of freshly ground coffee, crispy croissants, and fried eggs. Anyone looking for the best breakfast in Berlin faces an almost impossible choice—thousands of cafés, bistros, and restaurants vie for the attention of hungry customers. But amidst tourist hotspots and hipster havens, there’s a place in Moabit where breakfast isn’t just good, it’s exceptional: LIT Coffeebar at Jagowstraße 23.
With over 800 Google reviews and an average rating of 4.8 stars, LIT Coffeebar is one of the city’s top-rated breakfast spots. In this article, we’ll show you what makes a good Berlin breakfast, why LIT Coffeebar is so popular, and which dishes our guests order again and again.
What makes a good Berlin breakfast?
Berlin isn’t a city that can be reduced to a single breakfast tradition. Here, classic German breakfast, international influences, and modern café culture converge. A good breakfast in Berlin is characterized by:
- Fresh ingredients — organic eggs, homemade jams, regional products
- Variety on the menu — from savory to sweet, from vegan to traditional
- High-quality coffee — freshly roasted, expertly prepared
- A relaxed atmosphere — where you can sit and enjoy yourself for hours
- International influences — shakshuka, eggs Benedict, avocado toast, alongside the classic Berlin breakfast
What’s increasingly sought after in the capital are cafés that not only meet these expectations but exceed them. This is precisely where LIT Coffeebar comes in.
