Espera

Preis — Leistungsverhältnis für den Kaffee absolut angemessen, auch die belegten Laugenstangen (Käse etc.) sind für den Preis absolut in Ordnung.
Daumen hoch!

Sehr guter Kaffee zu fairen Preisen, wie ich finde. Die Leute am Tresen sind immer freundlich und machen einen tollen Job! Also wer überdurchschnittlich leckren Kaffee in der Ecke will ist hier absolut richtig. :)

This place is great. Their sandwiches look like very standard sandwiches… but, they’re not. They are absolutely delicious. The bread is homemade and is just so buttery and perfectly toasted. Really really great.
The pastries are great, I always get the portuguese custard tarts. They’re good. I don’t usually drink coffee, but people said the coffee here is good, so I decided to drink it… and it’s good. Definitely not a coffee connoisseur though.
Come here for breakfast or to just chill sometime. It’s nice :)

Gut dass es das Espera gibt! Schneller und leckerer Kaffee. Atmosphäre sehr relaxed. Bedienung wie immer freundlich und sympathisch.

My grandad lived in an old rickety shed in the Outer Hebrides. Everything was very rustic there — although it wasn’t called rustic back then. He also had a workshop out back where he’d brew beer, distil hooky moonshine and in-​between his illicit activities he’d concoct a brew of a different kind — caffeine. And with his lovingly made black brew he’d plonk on his outside stool, with a slab of rye and watch the world go by. There wasn’t much world to watch go by back then, but I can just imagine joining him and transporting his brew shed to metropolitan Berlin. Instead of my grandad I had to share a bench with some Turkish bloke, but I bet he had a grandad too. Good times…

Kleiner, entspannter Laden mit sehr leckerem Kaffee zu moderaten Preisen (Juni 2015: Latte 2,50 und Cappuccino 2,30). Publikum ist nicht der Mitte-​Hipster, sondern eher der «betont andere und entspannte Neuköllner». Aber auch egal, der Kaffee sollte im Vordergrund stehen. Und die Bedienung ist auch nett.

small, local café with good coffee and pastries. the service is always friendly. great for a quick snack.

Der Kaffee, heiße Schokolade und Tee ist unglaublich gut! Ein besonderes Highlight ist der Karottenkuchen. Ein Hochgenuss!

Popped in for a quick sit-​down coffee and pastry. Staff were really lovely and welcoming (and spoke English for us without a qualm). Coffee was tasty and best of all, we discovered Franzbrötchen! A delicious, cinnamony pastry from Hamburg. I am definitely looking forward to going back again.

The coffee (cortado) is very very good, the café is small but there are high tables in the back near the bathroom where you can work on your laptop. They have some nice pastries too.

Genau, bester Kaffee im Kiez!

Mit einem Caffee Latte von Espera kann der Tag beginnen. Toller kleiner Laden. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. So wird guter Kaffee gemacht. Franzbrötchen gibt’s auch noch… was will man mehr.

Great place to read –delicious coffee also. The back part is a bit dark, so make sure to stay near the front windows. Very friendly staff and good music also.

Sehr guter Kaffee! Für Neukölln eher gehobene, aber noch angemessene Preisklasse (inzwischen leider noch weiter erhöht).
Die Franzbrötchen sind sehr zu empfehlen.

I love this place! This petite, cute and cosy coffee bar offers great coffee and lovely home made cakes and baked goods. And here, home made means baked in the kitchen at the back, filling the whole café with the smell of freshly baked goods. Oh my, they make it hard to avoid buying a bun or a piece of cake.
In addition they really know how to make their soy-​milk cortados, the staff is very friendly, and there is always a really good vibe to the place.
What’s not to love? There is no wifi there, which can either be a great con or a great pro. I go there for a break, or when I need to work without the distraction offered by social media.

Bester Kaffee im Kiez. Punkt.
