There are plenty of them, these in-between spaces. Places in Berlin that feel off-putting at first because they don’t quite explain themselves. Can I just walk in here? Is co-working possible without endlessly consuming? One in-between place that feels effortlessly accessible is the Amano. Between a hotel lobby, café and cozy rooftop terrace, boundaries blur on Auguststraße. Not least because of the €5 Aperol Spritz, which you can grab to go through the window. A recent addition is Café Amano on the ground floor, open directly to the street, offering specialty coffee, refreshing drinks and a surprising, bold 24-hour opening time. People sit in the co-working area with laptops, drink complimentary drip coffee, or slip briefly into the “Silent Garden”. With the first warm evenings, rooftop season has also begun. This year, the terrace is animated in collaboration with Whispering Angel, the Château d’Esclans rosé. All summer long, it becomes the house’s pink-hued meeting point, with drinks and DJ sets in the evenings. A place without thresholds, designed to be entered.
