The Brezel Bar

Bringing work home is never fun.  But if there is a fun place that you can go and work on it, it is not so bad.  There are lots of cafes in Berlin that make this possible.  Our favorite one in Berlin is the Brezel Bar (or Pretzel Bar).  This is a cafe that combines some of the best things:  fresh pretzels, chocolate, hot beverages, and free wifi.

The space itself is nice and comfortable.  There is always an art exhibition on the walls that changes every so often.  It is not the largest cafe, but if you have a seat, there is usually enough room to do work.

The food though is the winner here.  Sometimes we go for breakfast and stay and work some.  My favorite options include the Muh (like Moo), that is mostly dairy (lots of cheese), an egg, and some vegetables and fruits, and the Wurst Plate which is the white sausage plate.  The sausage is good, but the mustard is amazing!  The breakfasts also include bread of some sort.  Out of pretzel dough they make pretzels (of course) but also croissants, breadsticks, and rolls.  The rolls are my favorite because it is like have a large fluffly pretzel with lots of the pretzel middle.  If we go for just a snack, there are many varieties of pretzels:  regular, cheese covered, sunflower seed topped, chocolate covered (yes, chocolate drizzled soft pretzels!).  This is about the only cafe that we have had snacks at where I have yet to try their cakes.  And if you go for lunch, you can get the funniest sandwich you will see:  a large pretzel sliced in half with your sandwich makings inside.

This is an extra crazy pretzel.  (There is a half of pretzel bottom under there.)

A perfect day is to go here with a book you are reading for fun and to hang out, read, and snack!
