Café Marlene is a charming spot nestled in the heart of the bustling Kastanien Alle. The interior is cute and charming creating a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy their diverse menu of coffee specialties, cakes, and cocktails. While the breakfast options are plentiful, the lunch menu could benefit from a wider selection. The outdoor terrace is perfect for soaking up the Berlin sun. The cakes are absolute showstoppers—both visually appealing and deliciously satisfying. Unfortunately, the cocktail-making skills of the staff seemed inconsistent. Our drinks were quite strong, suggesting a lack of experience in mixology. However, the prices are reasonable, making it an affordable option for a casual outing. The service, while typical for the Prenzlauer Berg, could be a bit friendlier at times. A touch of warmth would elevate the overall experience. I would definitely recommend adding espresso martinis to the menu, as they have all the necessary ingredients. Despite the minor service hiccups, Café Marlene is a delightful spot for a coffee and cake, and I would return for another taste of their delicious pastries.

Absolutely great service and a very lovely decorated cafe! Dogs are allowed inside. You can get an ordinary breakfast for around 10 €, with the very typical Brötchen, Marmelade, Butter and sliced cheese and sausage.

Late evening coffee cravings for a bunch of girlfriends led us here. We had hot chocolate, coffee, green tea and macaron here. Liked their service and ambience. Nice place to hang out.

Came across this after going to the flea market at Mauerpark. Amazing find. Breakfast was great. Nice and cozy inside, our server was so friendly and spoke English too. Great choices and very reasonably priced.

This is a cozy place. The service was not great but the staff were helpful for sure. I’m giving 4 stars because of the staff in particular. The taste of drink and food was okay.
