Tucked into a quiet courtyard, Father Carpenter is not the kind of cafe one simply stumbles upon. Yet among coffee cognoscenti, it's very much a destination for its locally roasted Fjord java, cakes from the Albatross bakery in Kreuzberg and trendy snacks like avo toasts and vegan granola. A great refuelling stop halfway through a shopping spree.
