Australian restaurants, cafés and bars in Berlin

Berlin has no Aussie pub on every corner, but it does have a handful of Australian-run cafés that helped teach the city what a flat white is.

The short version

For coffee, Father Carpenter in Mitte was opened by a Melburnian who couldn't afford to open a café back home [2][3].
For a proper Aussie brekkie, Silo Coffee in Friedrichshain and Tischendorf in Neukölln are the long-running favourites [1][4][5].
19grams, co-founded by Australians, now runs four cafés and a roastery across Berlin [1][7].
For the footy, Belushi's in Mitte hosted Berlin's 2026 AFL Grand Final watch party, with the first bounce at 6am local time [8].
Berlin is about Australian coffee and brunch, not Australian dinners. We couldn't find an Aussie-run restaurant or pie shop we could confirm, so we've left those out.

How we built this list

We started with the venues Australians in Berlin talk about, and with stories from SBS German and The Berliner about Aussies who opened cafés here [1][2][6]. Then we checked each one against its own website and a listing or review from 2026. Only places we could confirm were still trading made the cut.

What didn't: a couple of Aussie-style brunch cafés in Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain that still have websites, but where we couldn't find anything recent enough to be sure they're open. If you've had a flat white there this month, tell us in the group and we'll add them back.

Coffee and brunch

Australian baristas and café owners have shaped Berlin's specialty coffee scene for more than a decade. These are the places where it still shows.

Father Carpenter

Area: Mitte, in a courtyard off Münzstraße

Father Carpenter is tucked into the first courtyard at Münzstraße 21, a few minutes' walk from Alexanderplatz and Hackescher Markt. Owner Krésten Thøgersen is from Melbourne. He told SBS German he couldn't afford to open a coffee shop in his home city, so he opened one in Berlin instead [2]. The café runs a kitchen until mid-afternoon, roasts and sells its own beans, and posts a seasonal menu on its site [3]. Visit Berlin's own listing sums it up as Australian coffee culture brought from Melbourne to the German capital [3].

Go for a weekday flat white and something from the brunch menu. It's quiet enough to bring a laptop for an hour, and central enough to meet a visiting mate.

Silo Coffee

Area: Friedrichshain, near Boxhagener Platz

Silo Coffee was founded by Melbourne-born Morgan Love [1] and has been a Friedrichshain brunch institution for years. Berlin's Top10 guide still calls its breakfast distinctly Australian in 2026, often served in cast-iron pans, with a signature dish simply called The Silo [4]. It sits at Gabriel-Max-Straße 4 and opens from 8.30am on weekdays and 9am on weekends [4].

Weekend queues are part of the deal. Get there early, or go on a weekday if you work flexible hours.

Tischendorf

Area: Kreuzkölln, Neukölln

Tischendorf is on Friedelstraße and has been serving breakfast there since 2012 [5]. Owner Jutta Tischendorf isn't Australian, but she lived in Sydney and built the café around what she ate there: banana bread, flat whites and a long, unhurried breakfast [5][6]. Top10 Berlin was still recommending it as an Australian-influenced café in July 2026 [5].

It's a good pick if you live in Neukölln or Kreuzberg and want something that tastes like a Sunday in Surry Hills, without crossing the city.

19grams

Area: Alexanderplatz, plus cafés at Boxhagener Platz, Chausseestraße and Schlesisches Tor

19grams was co-founded by Australians Marianne Ryan and Anthony Piper, and The Berliner described its staff as predominantly Australian-led [1]. It is now one of Berlin's bigger roasters, with four cafés and a roastery café at Alexanderplatz [7]. Its site was posting new blog entries and 2026 events through the second half of the year [7].

This is the practical choice: several branches, long hours and beans to take home. The Alex café works well before a train or if you're meeting someone in Mitte.

Where to watch the footy and cricket

Here's the catch with sport in Berlin: Australian games land at brutal hours. During the AFL season, Berlin is eight hours behind Melbourne, and from late October it's ten [8]. Most Aussies end up with a mix of one bar for the big days and a streaming subscription for the rest.

Belushi's Berlin Mitte

Area: Mitte, near Friedrichstraße and Hackescher Markt

Belushi's is a big backpacker-friendly sports bar that shows rugby, cricket and a long list of international events alongside European football [8]. It's not Australian-owned, but it is where Berlin's Aussies gathered for the 2026 AFL Grand Final. The AFL's official list of overseas watch parties put Berlin's at Belushi's on Ziegelstraße, with the first bounce at 6am [8]. The bar opens daily from midday for regular games, so call ahead if you want an Australian match put on.

Grand final day, step by step

Watch the AFL's list in September. The AFL publishes overseas watch parties each year, usually in grand final week [8].
Follow the Berlin Crocodiles. The local footy club hosted the 2025 party at a bar in Neukölln and tends to be behind the Berlin event [9].
Set two alarms. A 2.30pm bounce at the MCG is 6.30am in Berlin. Bacon rolls are your problem.
Have a backup. Watch AFL streams every game outside Australia, and NRL games are on SportDigital in Germany or on WatchNRL [10].

For cricket, the Ashes in England are the good news: only an hour behind Berlin, so you can watch at sensible times. Home Tests in Australia mean a night shift.

What about pies, Tim Tams and Aussie beer?

Let's be honest. We couldn't confirm a single Australian pie shop in Berlin in 2026, and we're not going to invent one. Most Aussies here bring Vegemite and Tim Tams back in their luggage, order from online shops that ship within the EU, and bake their own pies for grand final morning. Australian wine turns up on some German supermarket shelves, but the good stuff is still a suitcase job.

Before you head out, check each venue's own website for hours. Berlin cafés change opening days often, especially in winter and around public holidays.
