# Cafes, coworking and coliving in Berlin

> Berlin's working day runs on thirds: the roasters that built the city's coffee reputation in Mitte and Kreuzberg, the work floors that grew out of its cafes, and flexible furnished rooms from an operator born here.

## The short answer

Berlin's working day runs on thirds: the roasters that built the city's coffee reputation in Mitte and Kreuzberg, the work floors that grew out of its cafes, and flexible furnished rooms from an operator born here.

## What the register checks

- The Barn (cafe): Mitte. The roaster that carried Berlin specialty coffee abroad, with Mitte rooms where the cup is treated as the whole argument.
- Bonanza Coffee (cafe): Kreuzberg. One of the houses that started Berlin's coffee wave, with a Kreuzberg roastery where the machines share the room with the tables.
- Father Carpenter (cafe): Mitte. The courtyard cafe off Munzstrasse, an Australian-style kitchen and coffee room hidden from the street noise.
- St. Oberholz (coworking): Rosenthaler Platz. The cafe where Berlin's startup decade was drafted, now a house of work floors above the original corner room on Rosenthaler Platz.
- Betahaus (coworking): Kreuzberg. Kreuzberg's veteran coworking house, floors of desks, workshops and a cafe that has outlived most of the scene it started with.
- Habyt (coliving): Multiple districts. The flexible-housing operator that started in Berlin, furnished rooms and studios across the city on terms measured in months, not years.

## Questions

### How are the cafes and workspaces in Berlin selected?

There is no classification body for cafes, coworking spaces or colivings, and this register says so. Each venue's own site was read on the date shown, and each entry has to serve a working day the city's other entries do not. 6 venues made the first edition.

### Does Linen Harbour rank the venues in Berlin?

No. The register separates them by role instead: the coffee stop, the daily desk, the landing house. The useful answer is which one fits the day you are planning, and each record says who should go elsewhere.

### Can Linen Harbour book a desk or a room?

No. Every record links the venue directly. Day passes, memberships and rooms stay with the house, and coliving applications are between you and the operator.

### Why are there no prices on this page?

Day-pass, membership and room rates change monthly and by location. The venue's own site is the only current source, and this register does not republish numbers it cannot keep current.

### Do these venues welcome laptops?

The coworking and coliving entries are built for them. Among cafes it varies by room and hour, and each record says when a cafe is better treated as a coffee stop than as a desk.
