There’s hardly anything better than strolling through the neighborhood at a pleasant temperature. You don’t need a set plan—the best spots often just happen to cross your path. From super-popular brunch spots to small, cozy osterias and modern “fun dining,” this part of town has something for every taste. And if you’re in a hurry, you can grab the viral kunafa sandwich to go on Sonnenallee. But if you have a little more time and want to linger a bit longer, you’ll find what you’re looking for at the new “Art und Seele” café at Donaustraße 106: a place that’s not only inviting but feels just like a living room.
As soon as you walk in, it’s clear: this is about more than just coffee. The space feels deliberately curated, almost like a livable mood board. Vintage lamps bathe everything in warm light, plants hang from the ceiling, and art adorns the walls. Everything feels personal, slightly whimsical, and yet serene —a place where you automatically slow down.
The menu also blends seamlessly into this atmosphere. In addition to coffee and tea , there’s a selection of homemade sweets, ranging from fluffy pastries to small desserts that are almost too beautiful to eat. No over-the-top concept, but exactly the kind of selection that invites you to stay.
What’s particularly exciting: The café is run by the same owners as the Savo Bar. That means the place transforms almost imperceptibly throughout the day—a relaxed café by day, and potentially a spot for really good drinks in the evening. A combination that fits perfectly into the neighborhood.
As soon as the sun comes out, the windows open onto the street, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow into one another. Donaustraße becomes a lively backdrop: people sit, walk by, stop—that typical Neukölln vibe that’s hard to plan but arises quite naturally right here. Art und Seele is thus one of those places where you actually just want to pop in for a quick coffee—and end up staying much longer than planned.
