House of Small Wonder - Berlin

I did not get it. Honestly I didn't. For a place that has the longest line and a waiting list that on the weekends gets even HOURS LONG. I did not get it. It's obviously not the restaurant fault if there's so many people...going there, but you'll excuse me if my expectations automatically get higher than average if I have to wake up early on a Sunday to go and eat there. On brunches, the restaurant has like plates to choose from, which include a toast with eggs, a pressed croissant with fresh fruit and some bacon biscuits with eggs and a hollandaise sauce too heavy for my tastes. The plates were good but again, not hour waiting time after waking up early good. We had some good desserts but only because we were still hungry after the brunch (which to me is fundamentally insane). The place itself is nice, nothing extraordinary, but apparently they've changed venue after COVID so once again, if you're thinking of going there for the location, do know it's not the same as you may think. The staff is pretty nice, although it was weird how all of the working staff was Asian with the exception of two people working at the front door.. The place also has the best Americano coffee I've ever tasted in Berlin. In conclusion, if you decide to go there for brunch and the waiting time is more than minutes, do yourselves a favor and look elsewhere. It's really not worth it unless you try and pick a coffee to go.

We had an amazing brunch here on our trip to Berlin. Nice interior courtyard with beautiful colored ivy hanging on building walls. Really serene place with good food choices, also for vegans. We had homemade biscuit egg benedicts and good latte coffee. Prices were really...affordable, staff friendly and spoke good english. Totally recommend this place for a great brunch!

The food was good! The waiters were friendly and spoke English, which was nice. Downsides: long waiting time (although the waiting list is a good idea) and some of our dishes were a bit cold, but overall a nice breakfast.

Worst experience. the ordered hot chocolate was cold. the service type made the impression of being on drug. the croissant french toast was a simply cut croissant with sirup and a very small fruit salad. euro the madame croque was burned and drowned in. Bechamel sauce. and above that the waiter simply forgot my court! I have paid euro and starved. the waiter didn't even ask if everything was okay. only positiw is the inner! make her mind when they sit in a cool location and pay for really bad food. there are better places than that.

What they can do with simple irons is simply amazing. at the point, delicious, full filling, try a mouse. we tried croque madame and biscuit benedict, both great, really.
