Bonanza Coffee Heroes-best cafe in Berlin

In summer, one of the best things in Berlin is to go to Mauer Park: flea market, outdoor KTV, different performances from all over the world in one park...afterwards, a cup of coffee at Bonzana Coffee Heroes, which is said the best coffee shop in Berlin. Why? as far as I see, it's fresh: they roast the coffee beans on site with experts (looks like). Normally, coffee beans should be packed/sealed in max. 3 hours after roasting to keep the crema. Other critical elements are also included: freshly ground and brewed, good coffee machine from Italy, good water...

In winter, it is still open till 7pm, except Wednesday till 3pm. "Don't die before trying".

Sasaya-best sushi place in Berlin

How to check a foreign restaurant is good or not? Very simple, just check how many foreigners from that country eat there.

In Sasaya, normally half of the customers are Japanese. Even the cook and all the waitresses are from Japan. Number matters, and the food matter more. I tried sushi, noodle, rice in soup and different cold dishes... Comment: the best Japanese food I had so far (note: I haven't been to Japan:).

Two cooks (one is the owner) are cooking on site, with seats around the open kitchen. There are also Japanese tradition seats and you have to take off your shoes and sit on the floor. As Sasaya has a good reputation among Berliner, you should book 2 days in advance if you want a table in the evening.
