Welcome to Das neue Café Leo, a hidden gem nestled in the vibrant heart of Berlin at Auf dem Leopoldplatz. This charming café beckons coffee lovers and casual visitors alike with its inviting atmosphere and exceptional brews. Upon stepping inside, you are greeted by a warm, friendly vibe, illuminated by an abundance of natural light that streams through the large windows. The gallery of mixed patrons surrounding you adds to the authentic Leopoldplatz community feel—it's a far cry from the typical coffee shop experience.

One of the standout features of Das neue Café Leo is its commitment to quality coffee. Customers rave about the expertly crafted specialty coffees, with many noting the skill of their talented barista. As Balázs Püspök-Kiss aptly put it, this café is amazing, especially in the morning when the energy is just right for a perfect cup. The café is known for using Oatly for many of their beverages, catering beautifully to those seeking creamy, dairy-free options. You can truly taste the passion and dedication in every sip, making it a must-visit for coffee aficionados.

If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in the delectable cakes and cookies available. Espen Bjørnes suggests trying their offerings, which complement the coffee splendidly. Imagine savoring a slice of rich chocolate cake while the hustle and bustle of Leopoldplatz hums gently around you; it’s a delightful sensory experience that feels quintessentially Berlin.

While the café has limited indoor seating, it boasts a few lovely spots outside where you can take in the vibrant scenes of the plaza. As stevemorris35 points out, these outdoor seats provide a perfect vantage point to watch the world go by, all while enjoying delicious coffee and treats. The eclectic mix of customers—from locals to tourists—means that you’ll not only enjoy great service but perhaps even spark a new friendship over a shared love for coffee.

Das neue Café Leo typically closes at 17:30, a bit earlier than some expect, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly to soak in every moment of this delightful café experience. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee on the go or looking to unwind with a pastry, this café promises a unique and memorable escape filled with the rich flavors and friendly buzz of Berlin’s café culture.

Excellent coffee, nice service, good music, lots of natural light. Not too many seating places inside. Mixed crowd of customers with a real Leopoldplatz feel — not your typical specialty coffee people. Closing time appears to be 17:30 rather than 18:00.

Delicious specialty coffee and tasty cookies/cakes. They use Oatly for their beverages, so that's awesome. Nice seats to sit at outside and enjoy the hustle and bustle of Leopoldplatz.
