Top hipster hangout St. Oberholz is also known amongst myself and my friends as babe central. Packed full of eye candy (both the staff and the customers), the only problem with this place is the tendency to not get any work done, instead posing with your Mac book and hoping you'll catch the eye of that handsome man drinking a coffee on the other side of the room. The cakes (and quiche) are delicious, the coffee is good but there is barely any space to work - forget being productive, take a friend and go babe watching instead.

My Advice/My Take: St. Oberholz is THE best cafe because it is open until midnight! I do not know many other cafes in Berlin with this option. Also, it is literally right off of the U-Bahn, which makes it easily accessible and easy to find. Apparently many start-ups began here, as people sat around the long tables together and strategized. There are two floors, so there is a good amount of room, although it is often very crowded and people stay for many hours with the free Wi-Fi and selection of snacks. I have found it a great place to work and enjoy time out of the library or apartment in a cool atmosphere. Need to Know/Tip/Insider Info: If planning to go with a big group, head earlier in the day or at more off hours. In Berlin they have the best Chai tea Lattes- it is David Rio brand that many cafes have, and St. Oberholz is one of them if you like Chai! Who’s Hanging here/What’s the Vibe: Students and working adults all the like. Technological vibe in the sense that most people are there with a laptop alone working, skyping with a friend or colleague, or there with friends often doing group work. That is the daytime vibe, which also continues into the night, but at night, a new scene arrives to get a beer or two with friends. Doesn’t get too rowdy, so it is still possible to work until the late hours. Cocktails & Cuisine: Options of wine and beer later in the evening. Seasoned bread sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and salads can be purchased. Selection runs slim later in the day. What to Wear: Casual, comfy. People do always look very cool with their hipster, artsy style. What Does it Cost: Moderately priced and pretty standard. Can get a drink and a snack for 7-10 Euros. When to Go: Daytime through midnight.
