About
Buchkantine is a bookshop, delicatessen and café in Berlin with a terrace overlooking the River Spree. Reviewers praise the riverside location and terrace, the cake selection, coffee options including decaffeinated and alternative milks, and the friendly English-speaking staff. The space has ample seating and works well for smaller groups. One regular notes the recent renovation has made the interior more cramped, with tables closely spaced together.
The café has power outlets, though one reviewer found them inconvenient to access. The place operates as a combined bookshop and food venue. Opinions differ on the post-renovation atmosphere: some welcome the updated look and are glad it reopened, while others feel it has lost intimacy and character.
