The Senses (ehem. Kuchenrausch)

Can’t put my finger on why but every visit here has been a good experience. Relaxed atmosphere (despite the roadworks just opposite the terrace), great coffee and nice service. We’ll try breakfast tomorrow, no doubt that will be an equally good experience.

We just decided to give it a try again! ...and it worked. Great breakfast, the menu is eclectic so it satisfies different needs. The place was almost empty tho, looks like they are actually good when not in stress situation. Staff okay.. typical Berlin.

Service simply forgot about our some of our orders. When asking them about it, they admitted that it got lost and would now be tagged at the end of incoming orders. Upon asking whether they could push it forward, because some of us have been...without food while the others were close to finishing, they refused, saying that the other tables are waiting too. Duh, but we we're waiting a lot longer.

I passed this place many times thinking its just a Cafe. But it actually has a full menu I just figured this evening. And I was really happily surprised to find such a place in the middle of the touristic part of Berlin Friedrichshain where...you usually have bars and restaurants with cheap interior and over-priced food to get the most out of the tourists. This place has a very nice stylish but not over-stylish ambience not to mention the food was indeed excellent. Today on my very first visit I had the asparagus risotto from the seasonal menu and as dessert the pear sherbet of the regular menu. I loved both of it. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, which also is a rare find in Berlin. I for sure will be back.

A very disappointing experience all in all. Service was friendly enough but pretty slow (to be fair, it was very busy). But the service was the best thing about it. My friends’ egg dishes didn’t taste of much, and according to the menu were supposed...to come with bread and homemade jam, but didn’t. When my friend asked they were then brought one small piece of bread each. And my eggs benedict was made with supermarket ready sliced bread and cheap and nasty sliced ham. And the hollandaise sauce doesn’t even bear remembering. Not good at all.
