Having a cup of coffee and reading magazines make a perfect match for a leisurely pastime. Newly opened “Westberlin” provides such an experience. You can purchase your magazine and enjoy it right there. You’ll find a small yet nice selection of art, architecture, design, fashion and lifestyle reads such German “Achtung”, “Vogue”, “W”, the US “Vanity Fair” and “Interview”; and international titles such as “Crash” and “Mousse”. Furthermore there are select Berlin guides and information. The place is calm despite of it being just minutes away from hectic Checkpoint Charlie – a great place to stop by with your visiting friends. The café’s menu offers coffee from Berlin’s Five Elephant roastery, hot and cold classics, fresh juices, cakes and snacks. A lovely addition to the rather uninspiring southern end of Friedrichstrasse.
