Berlin Trip : Ormado Kaffeehaus

I had something of a wait for a train, so I thought I’d pop into this shopping centre and find a coffee or similar. The photo above isn’t of the unit (it’s taken in the other direction when I was sitting down), but the food court was modern and rather comfortable for a shopping centre. I noticed that this coffee shop had a perfect Google Reviews score, something which is quite impressive to see a 5/5.

The service was impeccable, although when I ordered a latte the team member asked if I would like a German style latte or an Italian style latte. I answered the latte, but when I was sitting down it occurred to me that an Italian latte might technically be just milk, so I wondered what he’d bring over. Fortunately, he delivered a coffee and it was a light and airy drink with a depth of flavour, so all was well. I also had a rather delightful pain au chocolat, so this was a handy little snack arrangement. The surroundings were rather tranquil bearing in mind it was a busy shopping centre, with the prices also being reasonable.

I asked AI (yes, it’s true that this is my go to solution for nearly everything now) and it came up with this handy table for me.

Milchkaffee Germany
Filter coffee with hot milk (no foam)

Right, I think I have a better understanding now, although as with so many things, it’s a little complex. But, I can see why this venue is so positively reviewed, the team member was engaging, the location was clean and the food and drink was of a very good quality. All rather lovely.
