04The Greens
café2 Am KrögelWi‑FiWork 100

Kaffeemitte is a minimalist café on Weinmeisterstraße in central Berlin, serving coffee, cakes, panini and light meals alongside a small bar.
Kaffeemitte good wifi available but it’s timed, max 2 hours. Indoor and outdoor seating. It can get noisy so maybe not the best place to work if you need to work in a quiet place or need to concentrate.

café193 GeorgenstraßeWi‑FiWork 100
The back row of tables facing the coffee machines has sockets, so you can work from there. But there is a catch - they give you WiFi codes with a limit of 1 hour.
