Safè - Espresso Bar Napoletano in Berlin

Lovely Neapolitan coffee place — really nice owner and good coffee.

A little piece of Italy in the sweetest cafe in Kiez. Always top. Always recommend.

Hi people, As a local Italian in Friedrichshain, I can only say the best espresso in the neighborhood and in all of East Berlin. It's not just about drinking coffee, it's about feeling comfortable and welcome, like a second home in the district. Croissants, cookies and everything tastes delicious! Let Sandro get you used to it and let his jokes make your day easier :)

Excellent service, the coffee is spectacular. The products are always fresh and the cappuccino is also perfect.

I have never tasted a worse Cappuccino in my life, from the taste I would say that the milk was already acidic.

One of my new favorite places in Berlin. Great coffee ☕️ As it should be. Tasty pistachios croissant 🥐. And the veggie ciabattas 🥪 was amazing. The place is really chill and having a good vibe with nice atmosphere. I highly recommend the place. I can say I had similar coffee as I used to drink it in my home country. Libya!

As a born and raised neapolitan I can say this is a truly neapolitan bar! Very good espresso coffee and croissants at fair prices. Must go for an Italian breakfast!

Sweet little café with solid Neapolitan coffee and fine dolci. Sandro the barista is exceptionally friendly and always available for a chat. Mandatory address in Friedrichshain!

The best Napolitano cafe in Berlin

Incredible Ciabatta!! The real deal. Really nice place for chilling and watching the world go by.

The nicest shop in the whole neighborhood, great atmosphere. Very pleasant to sit, read and get to know people. Be sure to try the iced coffee/crema caffè!

Welcoming, run by Sandro, a true Italian, who makes tasty and even dietary Italian food if needed.

We saw the crema caffè in the pics on Google and just arrived back from the airport we decide to enter. Sandro, the owner, is the typical ‘napoletano’ super welcoming and also he knows his stuff regarding coffee!!! The crema caffè was incredible light, full of flavours and really fresh, exactly what we wanted! He invited us the 16th of August to his famous Friday jazz night and we had a very good chat on Naples and all the objects he has in the bar…this is for real a Napoli temple!!! Great job, you bring a real piece of Italy to Berlin 🤩

I was fooled, it has so many positive reviews, and yet....Really good cappuccino and croissant, nothing can be said about that. But how dirty it was! Inside there was dust, grease, dirty cups and cups everywhere, it was 8:30 in the morning and there was no one there. Is it possible that a football team stopped by for breakfast in half an hour? And the dirt? Maybe it was an unlucky day, I hope next time it goes better. Normal prices for Berlin

I was uncertain whether to go to an Italian bar in Berlin, I thought it would be risky, to find a fake atmosphere and poor quality products, or even worse German/international/Italian fusion, which is the worst that can happen and is a frequent phenomenon . None of this. I entered this bar which reminded me exactly of Italian bars, welcoming, full of memories and a family atmosphere. Sandro welcomed me with a smile and already there I realized I had made the right choice, in a neighborhood that has an infinite offer of little places and bars where you can sit and eat something. I ate an excellent sandwich with quality products directly from Italy, and it showed. The coffee is produced directly by Sandro and his partner's roastery, and it is very good. The cappuccino was one of the best I've ever had (modestly, I'm Italian), but above all I was shocked by the curly puff pastry. I was frankly hesitant, because in itself it is not an easy product, especially if it is fresh/not fresh. When I tasted it it was like returning to Naples: fresh, crumbly, greasy (it's not exactly light), with the perfect ricotta cream. He produces them himself. Nothing to envy, in my opinion, to those of the famous Attanasio pastry shop.

This is an Italian espresso cafe that I often go to with my boyfriend, and the coffee and ciabatta are so delicious. Best Cafe in Sonntagstrasse!

Great coffee! Nice Italian owner. Great, there's even sfogliatelle if you ask in advance. Almost like in Naples!

Real Neapolitan vibe! Enjoy some good laughs

A little pearl of Berlin where we had several excellent breakfasts. Delicious food, attention to detail and choice of ingredients, family and welcoming environment. The very kind owner immediately made us feel at home and brought many smiles to our faces :) we will definitely come back to visit you, next time maybe I will ask for an espresso and not an Americano (which was still very good 😁) so I won't look out of place among the Italians 🤣 I highly recommend everyone to visit the Safè :) :) See you soon! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Delighted with this place and very good, it reminds me of Napoli❤️. The only bad thing is that paninos may be a little expensive

Everything perfect, coffee like in Naples. Smiling and competent service.

Always a good place to meet locals while having a good coffee. Super friendly owner who makes delicious ciabattas.

It's not a bar, it's not a restaurant, it's not a shop; it's all together and much more. It's entering the home of a dear friend who always welcomes you with open arms.

Best place near Ostkreuz to have a coffee, Sandro is from Naples, and has great pastry in the morning. Stay up to date and don't miss his jazz concert night!

One of the best espresso bars in the neighborhood. Friendly owner who focuses on the essential coffee specialties. SCC Napoli and Maradona are everywhere :)

You can turn the cup upside down and the espresso will just slowly drop out of the cup! Coffee just like in Napoli! Also very charming place :) Mazie Grille

Top! Brioche and cappuccino, and a spolverata di chiacchiere! Delicious food, different types of brioche, special coffee blend. Great vibe! An interesting, funny and special cast! In the afternoon and evening you can drink good Italian wine, or even be lucky enough to listen to some good jazz!

A small enclave to escape the hipsterdom on the Sunday street. The landlord greets you warmly in Italian and serves delicious coffee and ciabatta ❤️

Very attentive boss and super tasty cafe

In the vibrant elegance of Safé Espresso Bar Napoletano lies an ambience that transports the senses into an enchanting ballet of aromas and warmth. The self-roasted coffee breathes a finely tuned melody of nuances that combine to create a symphonic experience in every steaming cup. Accompanied by a delicate homemade croissant, whose airy structure plays with a filling of delicate apricot notes, every bite becomes a moment of seduction. But among the dancing scents and delicious aromas stands Sandro, the hospitable guardian of this place, who greets every guest with a smile and a warm hug, transforming every trip to the Safe Espresso Bar Napoletano into an unforgettable interplay of cuisine and warmth.

Best Espresso Bar outside of Italy. I highly recommend it to everyone who likes good coffee and Italian vibes

Sehr gemütliche und authentische Atmosphäre, wer gemütlich Kaffee trinken und sich wohlfühlen möchte geht hier hin! Kann den Jazzabend nicht mehr abwarten!!!

Espresso molto buono e capo molto gentile ☺️

Lovely little place with great atmosphere and very friendly service. Would definitely visit again.

Best italian/neapolitan Café in town!!! <3

Super guter Ort zwischen dem ganzen Hipsterschuppen dort.

Hier gibt es ein ganz anständiges Frühstücksbuffet für 10€. Nichts besonderes, aber dafür immer noch besser als das Angebot in meinem Hotel.

Der beste Espresso, den ich bisher in Berlin genießen durfte. Eigens geröstete Bohnen, dazu ein Sfogliatelle. Fantastisch!

The best Italian croissants and pastries.

Very disappointed with the coffee here given the other rave reviews. Milja or Tucker nearby were much better.

I discovered this bar by chance and what a wonderful surprise! I ate a delicious panino and drank the best espresso I have had since I moved here in Berlin! They make and sell their own blends (called Safè as the bar itself) that taste just like Naples coffe. Then I had two sfogliatelle (neapolitan typical pastry) that were just like a dream! Sandro, the owner, is a super kind and friendly person that let you feel like home! Thank you for bringing a piece of your house and culture here in Berlin! I definitely recommend this place and I’m gonna be there again soon 💫

Der Espresso schmeckt perfekt und ist sehr authentisch. Der Besitzer, Sandro, ist echt sympathisch und freundlich, genauso wie man sich von einem Italiener erwarten würde. Ich werde auf jeden Fall hier wieder kommen.

Bester Espresso der Stadt und sehr sympathische Leute, ein bisschen Napoli, unerwartet mitten am Ostkreuz 🙂

Das Safé ist für mich nicht nur ein Café wo es den besten Kaffee gibt, sondern eine liebevolle Community. Ich treffe hier auf so viele tolle Menschen mit inspirierenden Geschichten und Sandro bringt einen immer zum Lachen. Mein All Time Favorit Stammcafé!!

Authentisches Neapolitanisches Café und charmanter Kiez-Treffpunkt. Leckere Croissants und Ciabatte sowie hervorragender Kaffee. Sandro, der Inhaber, ist ein echtes Unikat.

Cosy Kiez-Café in Ostkreuz / Boxi. Good coffee and chill vibe.

Schon seit vielen Jahren eine meiner liebsten Adressen in der Straße!

Il Safè è un delizioso Caffé, un locale intimo ed accogliente in cui si può degustare un fantastico caffè napoletano accompagnato da gustosissimi cornetti, sfogliatelle e dolcini vari o pranzare con ottimi panini. Ha una vasta gamma di scelta di caffè, dal classico espresso napoletano a caffè guarniti magistralmente, cappuccini, americani e chi più ne ha… Ti puoi godere la tua consumazione chiacchierando tra amici o magari leggendo un buon libro. Il Caffè si trova sulla Sonntagstraße in Berlino a due passi dalla metro di Ostkreuz ed è gestito dallo spumeggiante Sandro, napoletano doc, socievole e spiritoso. Sempre si grande compagnia. Ospita spesso eventi culturali e si è sempre allietati da buona musica offrendo giornate di grande aggregazione e divertimento. Un luogo in cui si respira aria di Napoli, di amicizia, di festa ma anche di relax. Un locale che merita assolutamente di essere frequentato. Bravo Sandro!

Locale piccolo e accogliente che profuma di Napoli. Colpiscono subito all'entrata sciarpe del Napoli, fotografie di Totó, Maradona e ricordi del titolare. Caffè fantastico, sfogliatelle appena sfornate, calde, croccanti e buonissime. Un caloroso abbraccio al Sig. Sandro

Original italienische Momente! Perfekt!

Sehr cooles Café in Friedrichshain. Das beste Kaffee in der Stadt, die Kuchen und Croissants sind super lecker. Ich werde wieder kommen!

bin per Zufall auf dieses Café gestossen und kam unerwartet in den Genuss eines warmen cornetto all'albicocca. Auch sonst ist alles an diesem Lokal von Herzen neapoletanisch. Sandro ist ein Barbesitzer, der sich komplett auf einen einlässt, wenn man es umgekehrt auch tut. Mein Start in den Tag hätte nicht besser sein können, grazie mille!!

If you appreciate great italian coffee this is your place. no sour hipster stuff but tasteful, full-bodied coffee variations done by a charming italian man that puts his whole heart into this coffee place with his very own style!

High quality, italian coffee Very nice staff Grazie Sandro!

Great experience in here! i feel like I m at home! Sandro è il NUMERO 1! 🇮🇹 Super accogliente e gentilissimo I recommend this place to drink a great Neapolitan coffee and have fun

Nette Bewirtschaftung. Gehe gerne hin wann immer ich am Ostkreuz bin. Empfehlenswert!

Coffee on point, excellent. Roasted by owners. Great service with a smile. Little gem in Berlin.

Sandros Cafe = Safe Bar ist etwas ganz besonders. Sandro wirkt manchmal etwas kritisch, ggf. wirkt er nicht nur so. Aber er ist ein großer Künstler, und das gleich in mehrfacher Hinsicht. Der Cafe / Kaffee, den er importiert und dessen Zubereitung gehören zum Besten, was Berlin zu bieten hat. Ein besonderes Augenmerk muss man aber auf die Einrichtung der Bar legen. Dort ist so unglaublich viel, mit viel Liebe zum Details und zur Interkation der Dinge (Postkarten, Bilder, Drucke, Fußballschals, Bücher, Espressokannen) verteilt. Würde ich dies tun, es wäre unaufgeräumt. Aber Sandro macht darauf ein ästhetisches Gesamtensemble. Wenn es eines Beweises bedarf, dass man Einrichtung und Design Itallienern überlassen sollte, dann wird dieser hier vor den eigenen Augen unmittelbar und mit Wucht erbracht. Aber man / frau muss sich etwas Zeit lassen, man muss den Blick schweifen lassen. Nur dann sieht man das. Natürlich gibt es dann nur, was auf der Angebotstafel steht. Das ist kein Mitte-Chic-we speak only English - for dump Start-Upers - Cafe mit Flat White. Ich frage in einem französischen Restaurant auch nicht, ob das Entrecote durchgebrachten serviert werden könnte. Kann man aber natürlich nicht wissen, wenn man das erste mal dort ist. Dieses Cafe ist der Maßstab und die Antwort in italienischer Qualität, des Könnens auf die Kopie & die Versuch, den man in Mitte (der Torstr. ?) begegnet. Unbedingt empfehlenswert, eine Bereicherung der Sonntagstraße und vergesst nicht zu fotografieren - wenn Sandro es erlaubt....

Ottimo bar dove bere un caffè eccellente. I cornetti sono buonissimi, appena sfornati. Sandro è un vero intrattenitore

Die Croissants mit Aprikosenmarmelade sind unfassbar lecker ebenso der Espresso, der Besitzer Sandro ist super herzlich. Nur zu empfehlen! Fino alla prossima volta 🇮🇹💚🤍❤️

This is definetely my favourite Bar in Berlin. I love the Italian pastries, croissants as the amazing espresso flavour and Cappuccino. Chocolate selection is also great. You can also eat some salty sandwiches and fresh made “panini” with some Italian special ham or salami cheese. As I moved to Friedrichshain this Bar became my “Wohnzimmer”. The atmosphere is great, cosy, relaxed and you always feel welcomed by the owner Sandro who created a special place with a soul for the whole “Kiez”.

Die besten ornetti in Berlin! Schönes, kleines Café im Kiez!

Absolut keine Empfehlung.👎👎👎👎👎 Wollte 2 Flat white bestellen. Sowie eigentlich noch italienisches am Morgen dazu essen. Die Antwort zum Flat White : war das sie es nicht kennt das gibt es in italien nicht, sie ist Italienerin …. und sie kann es nicht in der Kasse eingeben. Es gäbe nur was auf der Tafel steht. Was jeder Besitzer ja selber entscheiden kann was er anbietet. Aber Sie hat ja alles dafür da. Ich kenne Kassen, es gibt Möglichkeiten diverses oder ähnliches zu buchen. Eine Espresso Bar , und kennt kein Flat White ? Da hat aber jemand wirklich den Beruf verfehlt. Ja jeder kennt mal etwas nicht was nicht schlimm ist. Der Umgang und Wille ist aber entscheidend. Wissen erweitern, nett und professionell handeln. So eine verhalten ist wirklich alles andere als kundenorientiert. Gut das die Auswahl groß ist… und guter Espresso/ flat white anderswo standard ist. Auch wenn es schwer ist seinen kaffegeschmack zu finden. Es ist wie bei Wein… Sie hätte kurz gegoogelt und es anstandslos hinbekommen. Unglaublich unnötig und arrogantes, kundenunorientiertes Verhalten! 👎👎👎👎👎👎 Zum lernen falls die unfreundliche Frau das überhaupt gewillt ist zu lernen: Ein Flat White enthält einen doppelten Espresso (oder Ristretto - also einer stärkeren Espresso-Variante) und etwas geschäumte Milch, meist mit Latte Art. Ein Cappuccino hingegen enthält nur einen Espresso und mehr Milch. Beide werden in der gleichen Tassengrösse serviert, was aus dem Flat White das stärkere Getränk macht. Nichts kompliziertes…

Wunderbar freundliche und persönliche Bedienung. Köstlichkeiten aus Sizilien und sehr guter Kaffee. 100% gut!

Echt italienisch Espresso mit neapolitanischen Ziefereien!

Il migliore caffè che potete trovare a Berlino N1 in assoluto

Really good Mocaccino! Thank you <3

Seit Jahren eine morgendliche Konstante in meinem Leben. Lecker Kaffee und echt italienische Cornetti. Danke Sandro!

El café genial, el dueño super divertido, los paninis exquisitos, los croissants (italianos!) excepcionales. El dueño es amante de los animales, así que siempre venimos con nuestra perrita. Venimos casi todos los días desde que lo conocimos. Nos sentimos como en casa en Safè:)

Wenn Kaffee am Ostkreuz, dann hier

Un varco spaziotemporale e sei a Napoli: cibo squisito, atmosfera anche meglio! Grazie!

Super tasty and with the best atmosphere. It feels like home to me :) Super recommended!

Der wohl mit Abstand beste Kaffee in Friedrichshain.

1 espresso was enough to make us fall in love with this authentic italian cafe! From the home-roasted coffee to cookies from naples :”it just feels like home” said my italian boyfriend :) Buonissimo!!!

Un caffè fantastico, ma quello che rende questo posto incredibile è Sandro. Grazie Sandro perché rendi Berlino più casa

loved cappuccino and cornetto alla crema! Cool owner

Unsere Lieblings-Espresso-Bar. Die besten Paninos, Cornettis und Cappuccini der Stadt.

Hier schmeckt der Kaffee so wie es schmecken soll. Frische Croissants. Grazie

Super amazing little place. The best thick rich dark hot chocolate I have had in a cafe for a long time! Can you tell me what brand chocolate you are using? I won't be able to live without it any more!😅

Un buon motivo per andare a Berlino? Provare il caffè di Sandro

Super Espresso, wie in Neapel! Kleines Café zum Wohlfühlen und Energie tanken.

Un cafè magnífico! Immer wieder gerne :)

Quaint, small Italian café. Great for a quick break or a chat with a friend

Not my fave coffee but excellent service friendly atmosphere and great if you like dark roast/2nd wave blends 😊

Nettes Café mit original italienischem Charme. Kaffee ursprünglich ohne Anspruch auf Modernität und ohne Chichi.

Klein, nett, günstig, toller Kaffee und leckere Panini. Typisch italienisch. Ein Juwel im Kiez!!!

Cute little café:) It's run by family and very cozy.

Sehr guter Kaffee..authentisch italienisch

Molto simpatici e finalmente un buon caffè.

I will go miles for an excellent espresso.

I’m italian and I can say this is one of the best espresso and cappuccino in Berlin!

Una cafetería muy acogedora, un trato cercano y una calidad muy rica. Sandro grande.

Klasse Cappuccino! Marco war auch noch für einen kurzweiligen Plausch zu haben, in dem ich viel über Bella Italia und speziell Napoli lernen konnte. So stelle ich mir den Kaffee um die Ecke vor. Und deshalb komme ich gerne wieder!

Sehr guter, also wirklich sehr guter Cappuccino und Espresso :-) Ich wüsste nicht, wo es in der näheren Umgebung besseren gibt.

J'adore cet endroit authentique.

Authentisch Espresso trinken mit echten Menschen aus Neapel.

Cosy place, great coffee 😄 owner really friendly.

Amazing iced coffee amazing ciabatta very friendly service and super nice vibes!

Sehr guter Café und Cornetti, weitgehend neapolitanische Atmosphäre ;) authentisch. Einzig das mainstreamradio nervt (manchmal)

The real and original Espresso from Napoli Is just here in Berlin! Cool owner and beautiful people! Place to be!
