Party Earth Café Dritter Raum Review
The Scene
Café Dritter Raum in Berlin’s Neukölln is a popular café & community gathering spot with an awesome brunch buffet. Change the world in Berlin with Party Earth.Kreuzberg / Neukölln, Berlin –
Located in the scenic historical center of Neukölln, Café Dritter Raum (Third Room) has been championing local politics, serving up fresh breakfasts, and enabling a little retro video game action since 2009.
The bright and cozy café, with its old-school wooden bar, tired but comfortable sofas, and small wooden tables, was designed as a public living room – complete with an ancient, long-dead TV – far away from the cramped two-room apartments where most Berliners reside.
Weekdays see a diverse bunch of multi-ethnic Neuköllnians stopping in to sip coffee or local brews over robust vegan and vegetarian meals or a big English breakfast – which has enough carbs and grease to cure any hangover – and to listen to low-key beats amid discussions of consumer society.
The biggest draw is the all-you-can-eat brunch buffet on weekends, when the line of starving bohemians, progressive expats, and in-the-know tourists extends out the door in anticipation of the grilled vegetables, fruits, salads, and American-style pancakes that await inside.
The venue’s community involvement is evident during the regular Tauschring, a goods and services exchange that occurs most Wednesdays, though pretty much any grassroots organization knows it can host its meetings and events here.
A functioning Super Nintendo tabletop keeps guests busy between progressive action, making Café Dritter Raum an ideal room to fill the belly, change the world, and save a princess or two.
