"Cafes in Mitte can sometimes feel like they're catering to business clientele or tourists, but Distrikt is a locals-only gem, and its free Wi-Fi makes it a good place to catch up on emails and fuel up before exploring. If you like your espresso bitter, this is the place for you. The espresso beans come courtesy of Berlin’s Fjord Coffee Roasters and make their way into any number of frothy or straight black options, all served in elegant porcelain cups." - Eliot Stein
