    I am naturally a big fan of poached eggs but when the Silo came my way and I saw that peak of bacon my heart was pounding and I had that big smile on my face. I definitely recommend this place! 😊

    Really good coffee and breakfast/brunch. Order 'the silo' with sourdough bread, poached eggs, manchego and avocado if you go there for brunch.

    Excellent coffee and breakfast. Friendly service with a smile. Unless you're trying to escape online distractions, don't come here to work though, as I was told there is no longer any wifi.

    Flat whites are great, one of my favourites in Berlin.

    You find about 8 breakfast options on the menu. I prefer a not too overwhelming especially when the execution of the dishes is spot on.👌🏼 We had the silo, the pancake & the avocado toast with bacon.

    Delicious coffee and cakes. Relaxed atmosphere, with a mixed crowd of Berlin's hippest and those dedicated to good coffee. Had a nice looking light bites menu too. Great place to recharge.

    These guys are really dedicated to what they do. After visiting a few very good coffee places in Berlin, I've come to the conclusion this is the place i definitely want to come back to.

    Flat white is amazing, one of the best I had in Berlin. Come early on Saturday to get a table. Food is delicious and fresh. A bit pricey but with it.

    Excellent new options for Summer at Silo. Must order Avocado Toastie with the side of baked chickpeas. Vegans: don't forget to ask for no goat's cheese! Enjoy with a staff picked V60!

    I really love this place, love their flat white and carrot cake, how friendly the crew are, how cozy and pretty the space is, how you can just spend hours chatting with your friend. A must in Berlin!

    My fav coffee / brunch spot in Berlin. Everything is just great, treat yourself and try more plates. Come rather earlier to grab your place and with cache. 🙂

    Perfect breakfast. One of the best in Berlin. The "n'dujan" (or sth like that) was the best thing i have eaten in Berlin. Very strongly recommended. Friendly staff.

    Best breakfast this side of Berlin. We came here 3 times in one week, mainly for the Avo toast (which is vegan) and the hot Australian waiter with dark curls ;)

    Favorite brunch joint in Berlin. Australian style, avocado, eggs etc. Its basically my second living room and it's always a pleasure to sit and chat with the staff.

    Although is a bit pricey (yet affordable) the food was amazing and so was the coffee. Totally recommended! This is a "must try" if you are in the area.

    Favorite coffee and brekkie in Friedrichshain. Get the Silo Breakfast with poached eggs, marinated feta, avocado and bacon. Dutch baby pancake [pictured] is a bit too sweet for me.

    Amazing Aussie-style breakfast, accompanied by great coffee. Book for the weekend or leave disappointed! Not your "typical" Berlin cafe but a must nevertheless.

    The coffee and food is fantastic. In particular you'll get a perfect flat white just like you'd get in Melbourne: no 90s frothy cappuccinos here!

    If you love a good cup of coffee, make sure you put this place on your to do list! These guys know what a great cup of (filter) coffee is! + nice sweets & baked goods as well.

    Great location and atmosphere with plenty of outside or inside seating. Exceptional breakfast and good coffee... I would definitely recommend the "silo" breakfast with added mushrooms.

    Proper baked eggs served in an iron skillet for the foodies. And a Synesso Hydra alongside aeropresses and V60s for the coffee nerds. Suave fit out & focused yet nice staff. Big love.

    One of the awesomest places in Friedrichshain - and I don't use the word awesome lightly. But guys: sort out the crappy Wi-Fi! It's easily possible to have great Wi-Fi in a place that size.

    Good coffee, some great breakfast options, but a strange version of a pancake. Staff is really nice and design is great.

    Perfect brunch/breakfast place. Great coffee, but overpriced. Watch the prices for the "recommended extras" listed on the bottom, they aren't included in the avocado toast price --> +5€ to the bill!

    Cappuccino is nice with good quality milk. Best to combine with the banana bread served with warm butter. WiFi connection could be faster but all in all a nice place to work/ study.

    Nice place with good food and coffee, though it was very busy. Breakfast was tasty, but I thought I could have done with another piece of toast with my poached eggs and avocado.

    Vegans have a treat in store for them at Silo! Order the avocado on sourdough and just ask them to skip the goat cheese! Amazingly tasty with a cold brew.

    Chill soft music and coffee. A good place to study. Eventually one of the waiters shouts for aparently no reason (just warning you)

    authentic aussie cafe with very delicious (but basic) food. It was a bit $$ for an avocado toast but worth it :)

    Really good filter coffee brew with a Aeropress. Strangely they dont write on menu which roastery they use. Good place to eat a la carte breakfast and brunch.

    Delicious flat white, amazing breakfasts. Prices slightly above the F-hain average, but the Silo Breakfast is worth it!
