EINSTEIN Unter den Linden in Berlin

Today we were at Café Einstein Unter Den Linden and tried to enjoy the apple strudel, but unfortunately there was a very rude tone from a German-Turkish bar manager who shouted at all his colleagues in front of all the customers and belittled them... I don't want to pay so much money for that... and You don't do that in a place like this... must it be the lack of staff or a management that doesn't care about customs? Too bad

Cake and coffee were okay, but the service was a bit annoyed. The prices are reasonable for the location, the ambience is very ordinary.

Food and service very good. The Einstein breakfast for two is great value for money. Plus 2 rosé champagnes and hot drinks. Overall price is more than reasonable. Highly recommended. Service is great, the ambience is quite appealing, but it is and remains a new building. But still very nicely done.

good food but please don't get fooled, prices are HIGH. it's an expensive restaurant, contrary to what the app says

Good food, the menu is quite extensive so one can choose from variety of authentic tradition dishes. Pretty natural atmosphere of German pub/kitchen/dining room. Not cheap, not too expensive.

Good schitnzel, good spot to go with family when traveling

The prices got much higher and the fact that it's not possible to have anything light that is not a dessert after 5pm is just sad. You need to have either a big dish, a pie or one kind of sandwich. Come on, can't you just keep some of the other snacks available like bagels and croissants?

The food is sublime and service first rate! They even cater for Washington’s finest who ask for ketchup!! 🙄

Classic Austrian café Unter den Linden, i.e. at the tourist hotspot. Lots of business people during the week, very touristy on the weekend. Service above average and committed, prices quite high. Food delicious, but sometimes very atypical (sandwiches at afternoon tea with (tasty) country bread). You can definitely go there, but you'll have trouble keeping up with the lavish prices.

The coffee and the atmosphere were good but the waitress was not friendly. I would say

SCAM experience - hidden service charge I recently visited Einstein Café on Unter den Linden with four friends, and unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. When it came time to pay, the cashier automatically added a tip without asking for our consent, claiming it was "the service" and saying that "service in Germany is not included." There was no clear communication beforehand that a tip would be added automatically. This practice felt very misleading and goes against proper customer service standards. In Germany, tipping should be left to the discretion of the customer, not imposed, and finding this extra charge forced upon us was very frustrating. I hope the café reconsiders this unfair approach. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone expecting transparent and respectful service.

We ordered the house special breakfast and were given a cake stand that wobbled and was filled with things that were carelessly thrown up. The offer was so bad that we wouldn't go for breakfast!! Nothing special, just cheap and unspectacular! And for a lot of money!! Never again!!

Very nice café for sophisticated tastes. Viennese coffee house tradition shines through. Upon request, the large brown one was served with lactose-free milk. The apple strudel is huge and very tasty.

Food was ok, pretty standard breakfast that's overpriced. Got an orange juice that was 8 euros which is a ridiculous price, didn't even realize the price until we got the bill at the end because who expects orange juice to be so expensive. Wouldn't recommend coming here, lots of other places around that will serve tastier food for less. The waitress was fantastic & very friendly.

Stopped here for a coffee break and was pleasantly surprised by everything! My ice matcha latte was amazing, the staff was very friendly, and even bought colours and a colouring book for my niece!

The waiters were all extremely friendly and accommodating. The food, I ordered Schlutzkrapfen, was very good.

I do NOT recommend this restaurant. The waiter/waitress does not give a damn about you. We came through the front door. The waiter ignore me. I walked in and go toward the bar area, and asked if I can see the menu. They were “not keen” but showed me the hard cover menu. After reviewing the menu we asked to be seated as all we wanted was a quick lunch and a coffee to refuel. We were seated for more than 10 min. I tried 5-6 times to ask the server to take my order, most waiter ignored me or they motioned they will come by but did not bother to come back. After waited more than 15 min, I did not get any attention, help, no assistance, no acknowledgment. I walked out of the restaurant. Will never come back. The service here is less than 1 star!!!

Excellent hot chocolate and a beer. Didn't try the food, but it all looked good.

Price performance is okay. Staff friendly. What is a disgrace, however, is the fee for using the toilet as a guest for 2 euros!

A bratwurst with fries for €17 is a disgrace.

Waiters are rude, owners are rude. They charge you money to use the bathroom. Come here if you want to be mistreated.

Wir gehen regelmäßig frühstücken, weil uns das Ambiente gefällt, die Bedienung stets freundlich und schnell ist, auf Extrawünsche eingegangen wird und das Essen lecker ist.

Ein Klassiker. Wie immer schönes Ambiente und professioneller Service. Allerdings fand ich das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht mehr passend, auch im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Orten in Berlin.

worst service ever , it takes ages to order, never ever

Asked for 2 Italian coffee (like irish, but with amaretto instead of whiskey). Got charged €23 instead of the €17 that 2 irish coffees would be, and the Italian coffees barely contained any amaretto, certainly not the 2cl that was on the bill.

Delicious food, albeit a bit on the expensive side, good service. We would definitely put this restaurant at the top of our list if we return to Berlin.

Very friendly, espresso and cake absolutely ok.

A nice café with an excellent breakfast and pleasant service that you rarely find. A really recommended place to start the day perfectly.

I'm happy to pay high prices for good quality, but the Einstein Café Unter den Linden is a disgrace 😳 Offering a piece of cake for €7.50 and a café for €6 and then begging for money in the restaurant toilet was also okay too much for me. The service was very friendly, but very slow. But the café and cake are so below average for Berlin that I wonder why the shop was so busy. I somehow spent the entire visit waiting for the camera crew to come popping out of a corner...

Der Apfelstrudel war richtig tempereiert (lauwarm) and enthielt viele Apfelstücke und Rosinen. Der Teig war ebenfalls lecker. Dazu eine Kanne Assam-Tee (loose leaf, kein Beuteltee!) Etwas störend war die achtköpfige Gruppe Süeuropäer an den Nachbartischen, die sich alle gleichzeitig unterhielten und deshalb den Geräuschpegel erhöhten.

Stopped for coffee, after lunch, on way back from Brandenburg Gate. Seating indoors and outdoors. Ordered hot lattes, came served in tall glasses..authentic. Unfortunately, didn't enjoy at all; in spite of asking for the lattes to be made extra hot, they were lukewarm at best, more on the cold side. Okay place to sit and relax a while.

Für uns ein absolutes Muss, wenn wir in Berlin sind. Wie immer ist alles Geschmacksache. Wir lieben das Ambiente, das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist für mich absolut angemessen. Die Qualität ist super und es ist so reichlich, dass immer etwas übrig bleibt. Darüber hinaus bekommt man hier einen exzellenten Service. Man muss sich als Gast nicht entschuldigen, wenn man einen Wunsch hat und man wird mit diesem angenehmen Charm und Humor der Österreicher behandelt. Das alles zusammen macht es für uns zu unserem Lieblingsfrühstückskaffee.

Very tasty food and great atmosphere. A suitable place for breakfast as well. I come back again and again.

the food wasn’t bad but the price is a bit too high

People were sympathetic. But they asked for money for the toilets and then I waited with my girlfriend for another friend and a British woman thought we were child laborers. When we went out a guy asked us if my girlfriend was selling her jacket, a bit creepy but still ok

The prices are out of this world. The little dollops of cream cost one euro each.

Just had a beer in the sun, pleasant :)

Very good food, excellent service, and a nice atmosphere make Einsteins a lovely spot to visit when you're touristing about Berlin. Only drawback is that it is quite expensive, but definitely worth a treat day meal in the city!

We love this professional service and friendliness 👍

Were not served in the outdoor area even after 20 minutes despite the message "I'll be right there".

The coffee was the only product that was acceptable BUT the food served is so disgustingly bad and disgusting that you get the feeling that it's a bad experiment and that the camera team is coming out just around the corner and breaking the joke. I ordered the two eggs in a glass with caviar (12€). The individual eggs of the caviar were so hard that you could hardly bite them and if you did, there was no taste of real caviar at all. This is neither natural nor appetizing. The only logical thought that can be derived from this is that it is artificial caviar. But this should also be the case. be mentioned in the horrendously overpriced menu (for nothing)! No customer wants to be so blatantly lied to and consume chemicals! What a perfidious and sneaky management rip-off, pitiful! Furthermore, the croissant for a hefty €4, which I also ordered, was so old and hard that it was definitely from the day before, there is no other way to explain such inferior quality, pure rip-off! My expectation for Caffee Einstein was to get high quality products, as they represent themselves at the entrance, with their sign saying "Please wait, you will be placed" - this is common in restaurants with style, quality and label - which is what at Cafe Einstein is completely exposed as a lie, embarrassing! Good luck continuing to rip off customers 🍀

A PURE NIGHTMARE FOR BREAKFAST AND AN EMBARRASSMENT FOR THE EINSTEIN CHAIN! The atmosphere is just like in a canteen, uncomfortable seating, so that it doesn't invite you to sit down, as it looks rock hard and visually old-fashioned. The rooms offer an atmosphere like in a bar at the train station, no feeling of coming down from the hustle and bustle, to exhale and enjoy the sip of coffee, as the waiters around the crowd sort the cutlery and plates loudly, so that you can only hear the constant clattering. The waiters have absolutely no understanding that the customer is sitting right next to them. An absolute nightmare for a visit to the coffee shop. GOOD LUCK 🍀 NEVER COME BACK

Class has its price if the main building is no longer to be financed; This is very unfortunate for the city of Berlin, because Berlin doesn't need off-the-shelf coffee houses. Maybe. you'll find a lover after all... Here at Unter den Linden, yes it still has class, but the waiter with a classic vest had more charm...

If you want unsympathetic waiters and bad service then Einstein unter den Linden is the right place for you. Luckily the other branches are not like that.

Fast and friendly service. I felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

The expresso affogato was fantastic, but the experience took a peculiar turn when I needed to use the restroom. Imagine my surprise when a woman appeared, demanding payment for cleaning the toilet. It was as if I’d just dined at a five-star restaurant and was being charged extra for using the napkin

Completely overpriced, pretty ropey food (undercooked potatoes hard as rocks that make the 36 euro dish a nightmare). Absolute tourist trap riding on the tails of a reputation long gone...

Wieder einmal ein sehr smackhaftes und tolles Frühstückerlebnos!

We drank coffee with apple strudel cake which was excellent!!!

You should go there sometime. I can't find anything to complain about.

The only place in Berlin where they made me espresso tonic. Almond croissant was delicious

Very nice staff, helpful and friendly all the time. The drinking was extremely good. Unfortunately it's a bit centrally located on the streets, although you don't really feel it inside.

Austrian restaurant where the best without a doubt without its desserts that are delicious as well as its coffee, with an excellent location

So… where do we start… admittedly: the cake was okay, BUT not for €7.50 per piece. Friendly service, nice atmosphere - but not necessarily my taste. A bit old-fashioned... right on the main street isn't necessarily super relaxed for a piece of cake like this in the afternoon.

Expensive and ugly but beautiful waiter

Always our first destination in Berlin, But when we wanted to have lunch I just said, oh the prices have gone up, answer, we have to go to the snack bar.

Super delicious coffee, good cake, nice service, we sat outside, it was clean and tidy 🤗👍

Very expensive! Not very good either.

Thanks to the extremely annoyed female waitress, who shortly before had also rudely pointed out to the ladies at the neighboring table that... "There's cake inside...", we got up and left. I don't have to go through something like that and especially not at prices like that.

Racist bartender!! With a mixed friendship group from all over the world (black and Middle Eastern) tried order a round of drinks and the women behind the bar just kicked us out no reason at all she was just Blatantly racist and ruin our last night in Berlin. This was the worst

Good service but prices are very exorbitant if you want a piece of kitchen it starts at €7.50 and for whipped cream an extra €3.

Wir kommen seit Jahren in regelmäßigen Abständen nach Berlin und immer wieder gerne auch auf einen Besuch ins Einstein „Unter den Linden“. Aber dieses Mal war es wohl unser letzter Besuch. Für zwei Stück Kuchen mit Sahne und zwei Kaffee insgesamt 33€ zu zahlen, das ist uns dann doch zu viel. Der Service sehr nett und die Qualität des Kuchens ebenso, aber dieses Preis/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt für uns nicht mehr. Sehr schade diese Entwicklung!!

I had breakfast there, it was very tasty and the place is very nice, with good service and a pleasant and quiet atmosphere.

L’impatto è del ristorante formale e di buon livello . A parte il prezzo che ha confermato questa prima impressione. Non abbiamo avuto conferme né nel servizio né nei contenuti . Tipici piatti tedeschi senza infamia e senza lode . Forse da evitare la zona perché troppo turistica

A good little stop off with friendly staff. Currywurst is great for a quick snack.

Nice terrace outside near the Brandenburg Gate

Great ambience. Great breakfast, great service

I forgot my jacket there, kept it for 2 weeks and now got it back. Thank you very much and greetings from Nuremberg!

Great coffee and delicious Sachertorte. But it would be better if we could be told in advance that a cake with cream costs €3 more. It would also be better to ask for tips in a less passive-aggressive way.

Very good ice cream. Unfortunately, you have to wait a long time for service, both when ordering and paying, even though there were few customers.

Atmospheric, elegant place, great service and tasty food, delicious Viennese schnitzel.

Fabulous cafe serving wonderful cakes. My Sachertorte was perfect. The service was great too

Definitely too expensive, especially the water: I find it absurd to pay 8.80 euros for a 0.75 l bottle

I tried meatloaf and it wasn't bad. But I don't think it's worth paying this price for.

Terrible experience. Two club sandwiches and two cokes costing €0.250, a €5 tip extorted without asking, and the icing on the cake was a bathroom for a fee of €1 per person with a truly rude and aggressive cleaning lady. Not recommended, avoid.

Pleasantly surprised that we could still get breakfast here on a Sunday and so late. Service was friendly and advised us to switch tables if we went for this breakfast. That was good advice. Going to the toilet was a bit special, the toilet lady was very bossy and tried to lecture you. First in Italian (I think) and then in English. You have to pay for the toilet.

Very nice Vienna cafehouse and marillenknödl yummi!

Absolutely shocking , do not visit, €5 for a 200ml coke and it takes an age for them to serve you and come with the bill, and worst of all after paying a ridiculous amount for your drinks the cleaner in the toilets downstairs also charges for use of the toilet and will not let you go. Robbery 0/10

It was better and not as expensive as it is now.

Unglaublich netter und aufmerksamer Service. Und das Essen steht diesem in nichts nach. Ich hatte ein Wiener Schnitzel zusammen mit einem richtig tollen Gurkensalat. Zum Dessert noch ein Stück Käsekuchen und einen Cappuccino der ebenfalls top war. Insgesamt ein Besuch den ich so schnell nicht vergessen werde.

Very expensive, they don't meet the advertised average of €10-20. You have to pay to go to the toilet. It does not include a tip and they ask for 10% of the bill. At least for Portuguese people, this is literally a robbery.

Un restaurant célèbre du cours Unten den Linden… proche de la Pariser platz. On y sert des spécialités classiques berlinoises (et autrichiennes) dont une généreuse Wiener schnitzel …L interet est de scruter les va et vient de la rue depuis la terrasse. Ferme assez tot le soir car la rue devient calme ..

100% recommended. Such great service Super nice staff I always go to the café when I'm in Berlin. And the food, as always, was tip top

Service, charming, friendly and accommodating. Cake-coffee looks delicious and tastes very good. Would love to come back.

Great cafe!! The coffee is exquisite and the cake is also super delicious!! Service is outstanding!! It was a great experience for our first visit to Berlin :)

Central coffee with good cake is not exactly cheap due to the exposed location.

Food was nice, but the service felt pretty much like a tourist trap where personnel force clients to leave higher tips, won't recommend

Very nice service. Cafe au lait was great, as was the cheesecake. Nice and fine street cafe for a break in between... the apple strudel is also recommended, said the people sitting next to me ;) small snack

Perfect! Great service and good food. It used to be a very good café and is now an upscale restaurant. Best Viennese Schnitzel

The waiter was angry, already during the order. And had no room for any misunderstandings during the order. Although it wasn't busy. No tips from here.

Don't miss on this wonderful Austrian cuisine restaurant! Don't miss out on the super high quality Weiner schnitzel and on the heavenly apple strudel.

Wie immer ein hervorragendes Erlebnis. Insbesondere ist der hervorragende Service hervorzuheben. Auch das Essen war wieder Weltklasse. Das Personal war mir als Rollstuhlfahrer gegenüber sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Slow but friendly service. Quite expensive. Overall okay. We only drank two beers, didn't eat. Server forgot to bring the water we asked for.

We had waited 20 minutes to be served followed by a 45 minute wait for some porridge, the excuse was it was busy when the restaurant was not even half full. The only thing the waiters were fast on was when the bill was coming expecting a tip.

Awesome place for a coffee and breakfast next to the Tor. Great location and ambiance.

Despite the huge rush, super-friendly service Delicious apple strudel Thanks!

The food was average. The toilet is also paid for guests.

The thing is that near the Brandenburg Gate there aren't many options, and I think they take advantage of that! The service is terrible, they get upset if you don't tip, the portions of the cakes are quite small and you should know that if you order cream they charge you more!! According to them it says on the menu, but it wasn't like that and they don't tell you either, the apperol is pure water, and they don't have a variety of beers. Terrible place and too expensive for what it offers

Great service, good authentic food, generous portions

Top coffee - invites you to linger!
