The decor blends a modern edge with cozy elements, making it an ideal place to linger over your favorite drink.

Cafe Haferkater is celebrated for its expertly crafted coffee, and as Piotr Domanski notes, it offers "the best coffee to go!" Indulge in their signature flat white, described as a weekly treat for many regulars. The skillful baristas pour with precision, ensuring that each cup is not just a drink, but an experience. If you're a certified coffee snob like Val Abecia, you'll appreciate the quality and speed of service, though they recommend bringing your own tumbler to avoid a slight papery aftertaste from the takeaway cups.

For those with a sweet tooth, Cafe Haferkater’s carrot cake will not disappoint. As Maxim Pustovit proclaims, it’s the "best carrot cake" he’s tried in Germany. With its moist texture and perfect balance of spices, it’s a must-try alongside their rich Latte Macchiato. And don’t overlook the generous portions of the Granolakater, which customer Ekaterina Golubka describes as a deliciously fulfilling treat.

The attentive and kind staff at Cafe Haferkater, like the charming lady in the white hat who makes every visit special, add to the experience, as highlighted by Astha Singh. This focus on customer service complements the high-quality offerings, creating an environment where you feel appreciated and at home.

Whether you are catching a train, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a moment to yourself, Cafe Haferkater is the perfect spot to recharge. Make your way there to discover what makes this cafe a cherished part of Potsdam’s vibrant scene!

Quickly grabbed a flat white and as a certified coffee snob , I was pleasantly surprised. Service was fast and pleasant. I suggest using a ReCup or your own tumbler though, as the paper cup and lids add a slight papery taste to the coffee.
