Café Einstein, Berlin : Café Einstein Stammhaus Kurfürstenstraße 58 10785 Berlin
Café Einstein is a cult literary café in Berlin, designed in the style of traditional Viennese coffee houses. It started out as an illegal casino venue and has since endured a turbulent existence during the Two World Wars. It is now a well-known hub for authors and philosophers. I’m planning a trip to Berlin, and this café is at the top of my list.
Café Procope, Paris
13 rue de l' Ancienne Comédie
75006 Paris
Café Procope was founded in 1686 and is the oldest coffee house in Paris. It has seen the likes of Voltaire, Robespierre, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Sand through its doors and happens to house a rather endearing portrait of Frédéric Chopin, my favourite composer. It is of course filled with the most delicious food and coffee, and has the kind of decadent French interiors that make you feel entirely spoilt when you enter.
