Coffee Drink Your Monkey has a very funny name. I’m not sure if there is a local German phrase which is a play on words that this name comes from or not, but it certainly caught my attention when looking for a place to have afternoon Kaffee und Kuchen. I had a flat white. It was o.k. They close at 7pm and I arrived at 5:30, so the workers seemed to already have closing on their minds, so the service was “short”…not rude, just to the point and quick.

I also tried their freshly made lemonade. This was interesting. A combination of noise and my poor German pronunciation resulted in the Ginger version. What this drink turned out to be was literally fresh squeezed lemon juice, concentrated ginger syrup, muddled Mint, and sparkling water. So, really this turned out to be an oversized sparkling ginger shot. If you like that sort of thing, which I do, it was good.

If you are in the Savignyplatz area of Berlin, and need a rest and a snack, this is a reasonable place to stop.
