On my way to to 5 Elephants Coffee in Mitte (Five Elephant), I stumbled upon a café that would redefine my coffee experience in Berlin – Bonanza Coffee Roasters. This review focuses on the morning hours at their Alte Schönhauser Str. 15, 10119 Berlin, Germany location, a place that left an indelible mark on my coffee journey. (They have a main location in Berlin that I ended up visiting because I had such a good time at this one.)
First Impressions: A Whim That Paid Off
Entering Bonanza Coffee Roasters was like stepping into a world where every detail is curated for the coffee lover. The ambiance struck me immediately – an open-air setting with a wooden/nature-themed aesthetic that brings the outdoors inside. It’s a space that invites you to relax and savor the moment.
A absolutely delicious warm way to start my cold morning.
The Coffee: Among the Best in Berlin
Having explored over 20+ cafes in Berlin, I can confidently say that the drink I had at Bonanza Coffee Roasters was one of the best. The quality of the coffee, the skill of the barista, and the overall presentation were exceptional. It’s not just about the coffee; it’s about the experience of enjoying it in a setting that complements every sip.

Service with a Smile
The friendly barista at Bonanza Coffee Roasters deserves a special mention. Their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure a great experience was a breath of fresh air. It’s this kind of service that turns a good café into a great one.
Where the magic happens! Clean and impressively designed.
Aesthetic and Seating: A Natural Retreat
The seating at Bonanza Coffee Roasters complements its nature-inspired theme. While the benches and stools add to the charm, a note for the taller folks – the seating might be a bit challenging if you’re over 180cm. (I was struggling haha. It’s ok for a quick 30 minute coffee, but wouldn’t be my choice for a longer conversation.) However, the overall comfort and vibe of the place more than make up for this.
These beans are perfect for gifts and sparked my decision to visit their second location.
Exploring More of Bonanza Coffee Roasters
The allure of Bonanza Coffee Roasters was so strong that I found myself going out of my way to visit their second location. (Found here: https://g.co/kgs/nMTc9QK, tucked away down a side street.) Each visit offered a unique perspective on their commitment to coffee excellence. The second location was larger with more room for everything from conversation to typing away on a laptop.
