Germany
The Opernpalais cafe at Unter den Linden offers an experience unequalled anywhere that I know of. The opulent surroundings are only upstaged by the wonderful choice of delicious cakes. You can imagine being here in a long past era, whiling away your leisure hours with good conversation, kaffee und kuchen. Not to be missed.

Coffee served in massive bowls, cakes the size of your head and all in a cosy little bar hidden in a leafy courtyard in a very pretty part of the town. I was only in Berlin for five days but made time every day for a trip to this cafe.
