“ The coffee is very good and very cool & chill atmosphere. They also have fresh orange juice which is amazing. Cortado is recommended ”
“ Ok coffee and friendly people. I go here a lot because it’s my local and I’m grateful this place exists. ”
“ The vibes are very nice and the people as well. There’s not latte art but the taste of the coffee is even better without it. ”
“ One of my favorite go tos for proper coffee. Unpretentious, low key, just more of a raw vibe. Baristas are knowledgeable and can always make a good recommendation as they roast and retail their own beans. I highly recommend their vietnam beans when they carry it. They feature baked goods and cakes so it’s a great place to hang and or even do some work during non peak hours. ”
“ Passenger Espresso has been around since 2012 and still feels like one of Berlin’s most authentic cafés. The space is small but always buzzing, especially on weekends when artists, freelancers, and locals fill the tables. The vibe is creative and welcoming, with a mix of people that reflects the city’s diversity. The coffee is excellent, carefully made, and the pastries are a nice bonus. What makes this place stand out is the generosity of the staff. The baristas sometimes offer drinks or food to people who can’t afford them, which gives the café a real sense of community. The interior is simple and unpretentious, but that’s part of its charm. Passenger Espresso isn’t about design or trends, it’s about people and good coffee. It’s a great example of why Berlin’s café culture feels so unique and grounded. ”
