Scratch Café – A Fresh and Inviting Spot in Berlin

Founded in January of this year, Scratch Café is the brainchild of Ben and Jonty. Ben, a fine dining chef from Adelaide, has spent the past decade working in Berlin’s top restaurants. Together with his friend Jonty, he built the café—quite literally—from scratch. Their goal was simple: to create a place where friends could gather for great food and coffee, not just on special occasions but as part of their everyday routine.

Scratch Café offers a range of homemade sweets, from their incredibly good cinnamon rolls to carrot cake and cookies—all of which just happen to be vegan. Labels aren’t the focus here; delicious food is.

Coffee is a key part of the experience.

Their menu also features daily soups (or salads for the warm season), served with homemade bread, which is also used for their variety of grilled sandwiches.

One of the most popular options is the breakfast sandwich, packed with creamy scrambled eggs, Swiss cheese, pickled onions, rocket, and chipotle mayo—best enjoyed with a cup of your favorite coffee.

The commitment to quality extends beyond the food and drinks to the service, which is warm, friendly, and just as much a priority as the menu itself.

Located on the bright and open Gneisenaustraße in Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain, Scratch Café has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. The area itself is a lively mix of long-time locals and young families, with more and more people stopping by to check out the café’s welcoming atmosphere.

 

Scratch Café isn’t about reinventing the wheel—it’s about creating an inviting, vibrant space where guests can enjoy high-quality food and coffee, served with genuine hospitality. 
Whether stopping by for a quick pastry, a relaxed brunch, or a chat over coffee, customers leave refreshed, happy, and already looking forward to their next visit. 

We’re happy to welcome Scratch to our Field Coffee community.
