Amazing place with very lovely people working there. Made my day I took latte and I didn’t get any sugar, that I’m always adding to my coffee, but this one didn’t need anything. No sugar, no syrup, it was perfect the way it was.

I recently visited Barista and Friends newly opened Coffee Shop and was pleasantly surprised by its simple and modern decor. The café has a cozy atmosphere, complemented by a lovely terrace, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. They serve high-quality coffee crafted by skilled baristas, alongside a menu featuring delicious breakfast options and protein-packed lunches. The highlight, however, was the amazing variety of cakes, each more tempting than the last. Overall, it's a fantastic addition to the neighborhood that I highly recommend!

Barista & Friends is a great addition to Babelsberg. Breakfast is very delicious, the staff members are super friendly, and the atmosphere is super cozy. I don’t drink coffee, so the cakes were for me the highlight :) I can highly recommend a visit!
