Berlin with a toddler in winter
The cold months can feel long, especially with babies and toddlers. At Kreuzzwerg the little ones can crawl and explore the world in the fenced-in toddler area while you sit close by.
- Changing table in the bathroom
- Breastfeeding anywhere in the café – the climbing room is often quieter
- High chairs and kids’ milk for the little ones
- Slipper zone at the entrance – wet boots stay on the shelf
Many parents also meet up with us for a mum meetup during parental leave.
A snack during the play break
Romping makes you hungry. In our kitchen we freshly prepare sweet and savoury snacks – for example waffles, pancakes, sandwiches or chicken sausages. There is also kids’ milk, speciality coffees, juices, smoothies and lemonades.
You will find everything else on our menu. Please don’t bring your own food – our café is funded by the food and drinks we sell.
Breakfast with kids on a rainy day
You wake up and the rain is pouring down? Then start the day with a cosy family breakfast at Kreuzzwerg. You can choose, for example, the Kreuzzwerg breakfast, a vegetarian or a vegan breakfast, the salmon and avocado breakfast, and scrambled eggs plain or with feta and tomato.
You don’t need to reserve a table. If you want to be sure of a seat, simply reserve online:
