Welcome to Café Ma Rue, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Berlin on Hufelandstraße 21. This charming café is a delightful escape for those seeking the perfect blend of cozy ambiance and exceptional coffee experiences. If you're in the area, be prepared to step into a warm haven, especially on those chilly Berlin days when a welcoming atmosphere is exactly what you need.

As you walk through the door, you'll be greeted by the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee that dances through the air, promising an exquisite cup to start your day or give you a midday boost. Their cappuccino has won hearts – just ask Olya Ivanova, who describes it as “the best in PBerg.” With every sip, you'll appreciate the dedication to quality that is evident in each carefully crafted beverage.

Café Ma Rue offers more than just a caffeine fix. Their menu is a vibrant tapestry of flavors featuring an array of beautifully presented dishes, like the highly praised rucula and salmon toast, as well as a tempting selection of pastries and snacks. Isabella Ruiz raves about the matcha, which offers a refreshing twist to your coffee break, underscoring the café’s commitment to diverse offerings that cater to all palates.

The atmosphere is undeniably inviting, albeit a bit lively, reflecting the buzzing community spirit of Prenzlauer Berg. Maria Muga notes that it’s a tight-knit space often bursting with energy, which only enhances the experience as laughter and conversation blend into the café's background. While it may be challenging to snag a table during peak hours, the vibrant energy and camaraderie make the wait well worth it.

However, be advised that Café Ma Rue operates as a cash-only establishment, a quirk that adds an old-world charm to your visit—Bárbara Sousa highlights the incredible variety and quality of baked goods that make every visit feel special. With an ever-changing lineup of delectable cakes, every glance at their display will tease your taste buds and entice you to try something unique.

In summary, if you find yourself wandering the streets of Berlin, make a stop at Café Ma Rue. The exceptional coffee paired with a lovingly crafted menu creates a delightful experience that's both comforting and indulgent. It’s not just a café; it’s a sanctuary for taste, warmth, and community. Bring a friend, grab a good book, or simply enjoy the delightful buzz of the café—whatever your plan, you’re in for a treat!

Very nice and small café, it’s always packed and very difficult to grab a table. The place can be noisy and loud. Coffee and cakes are good, as the service and atmosphere. The only down size is that they only accept cash.

Very cute Cafe :) the food is very tasty, and the presentation is beautiful. I had the rucula and salmon toast - very good. The coffee disappointed me a little, the americano tasted a little burned. But then the cake after made up for it :) The sweets are crazy good looking

Very nice place. Definitely recommend the cake with honey and walnuts. Good balance of sweetness and it literally melts in your mouth.
