This was so nice cafe! I’m from Japan. Having bad experience in hotel, I was afraid of asking someone in Germany. However, all the staff here kindly responded me. I was so relieved. And of course, the cake and coffee is so good too. Also, the tables and chairs kept clean by the staff. :) I strongly recommend to go this cafe!!

Great cafe for coffee and delicious cake. There were people having lunch but I did not look at the menu. A beautiful setting and historical.

A delightful spot! With its wide variety of delicious desserts, excellent coffee, and a green, tranquil atmosphere, Café Pedales is truly a gem. We were especially enchanted by the live music we encountered as a lovely surprise during our visit. Highly recommended!

One of the most recommendable sites in this area!! A really well kept parc/garden meets a truly amazing Café-Team with all amenities of home made cakes, high quality coffee-all fresh/regional and eco-friendly. The most impressive asset however is the joy-and playful invitation of art and music into the venue! The well selected musicians and jazz bands are really fun to listen to! In summer outside in the parc-in winter inside in the Villa! The genius tenant even plays himself every Sunday -representing a rare species of a truly purpose driven Cafe owner!

Just so yummy and everything is homemade, they really bake everything they are in their kitchen. Be sure and take the opportunity to see the GDR symbol that once hung on the Glienicker Brücke
