Eat Berlin – Tischendorf, Neukölln

I’ve been passing this place far too many times. The big advantage of Neukölln neighbourhood is that you can enjoy an enormous amount of lovely cafes. With time, when you get to learn your favourite ones, it may become also a disadvantage, as it’s too easy to miss a lovely spot.

Tischendorf is definitely worth checking out. When I entered the place the first thing I’ve heard was Talking Heads’ song and it made a great first impression. And then the interior. It may look like a typical Berlin style cafe, but has this little lovely elements like handmade plackets with informations about products. Raw wall surrounded by other white ones make the trick. Wooden tables and chairs, old school counter with yummy treats and nice art on walls. Everything creates a good, friendly vibe.

I ordered a breakfast special and what I got made me almost cry out of happiness (hormones!). My taste buds went wild and I’ve achieved a moment of a “happy after meal meditation”, when life looks just like it should (full of rainbows and unicorns). I wasn’t happy with my coffee, but I like it in a specific way and since I can have only one per day, it’s important that this one particular cup rocks my day. But the food, oh… you want it!

The only tiny thing that didn’t fit was a lady who served me, definitely she wasn’t in a mood. She had this “smiling is just wrong” and “I don’t associate with customers” attitude. Well, I’m not judging here, it happens and everyone has a right to have a worse day. And this is a hormonal pregnant lady speaking. When I have a bad day I have this strange feeling that Tomasz and cats magically disappear and I can’t find them anywhere. If I didn’t know better I’d say that they’re avoiding me. The whole “lady not in a mood” thing definitely didn’t ruin the impression, as the cooking lady who served my plate was the sweetest. I think she knew how awesome the food was.
