If you need to work with your laptop in a coffee shop this is a good spot. Very close to the city center and many important tourist attractions. 2 stops from the nearest U-bahn station from home. Fairly good internet. Might be crowded afternoon, some tables are reserved for no-laptop visitors only.

Grocery etc.
Right across the street. You can find all you need there in terms of grocery shopping. White labeled goods are also fine, especially the Bio ones. Depending on the day open until 11.30 or 12pm! Fish and meat counter closes at 7 or 8 pm at the latest. Closed on Sundays, like 99% of all grocery stores.

Similar to Edeka (in terms of location, and opening hours), but with less quality. In proportion with the quality of goods, prices are also lower. Yet you can use this market as an alternative, especially if Edeka seems to have very long queues, and you don't need to do extensive shopping.

The Bio store in the neighborhood with the widest selection of goods. If you only eat bio food, just stick to this place. 4 mins walk from home. A bit pricey, like the rest of the Bio stores around.

This is a close market place, with plenty of Delikatessen / Deli sort of shops. You can buy quality bread, coffee, vegetables, and much more. Some shops sell wine/olives/processed meat from Mediterranean countries.
On the weekends, there is an open air flea market right next to it, with some vintage cloths and antiques from mostly East Europe.

Food scene
Very popular Vietnamese restaurant with a lot of branches across the city. The Kreuzberg branch is 2 min walk from home, so you can give it a go. Vegan options possible, decent kitchen, fair prices and portions.
It can be very crowded so if you want a good spot (or even to find a spot) try to make a reservation beforehand.
One negative in my view is, they serve everything super fast and after 45 mins you are done with the whole thing. So if you want a proper dinner occasion, it might not be the place to go.

100% Vegan, Spanish Tapas Bar. Don't try to go without a reservation, because it's tiny and almost always full, but the thing is the owners are Spanish and they don't pick up the phone :) Still, a must go in my opinion, whether or not you're vegan.
We love this place because: They serve vegan food that resembles non-vegan originals, but without using any replacement products. Everything tastes magnificent, the atmosphere is very laid-back, very fair prices for the quality you get, LGBTQI+ ally by all means.

Having spent some time in North America, one of the things that fascinate me in Berlin is that although you can find quality Asian food, you cannot find Ramen that can even resemble the ones in the US or in Canada. This place is the best Ramen place that I could discover till now. Again, probably it won't impress a North American, but still it is a very decent option. One advantage is, it is close to the heart of Kreuzberg (Kottbusser Damm).

It is a place where you can eat Knödel, a typical East German / East European meatball-like food. Very quiet and lovely place, especially the summer patio. German kitchen doesn't have much variety (in comparison to many many others), and if you want to say you've been to Germany and tried German food, this is the closest location from home where you'd achieve your goal. Never been there on winter, so don't know how it is indoors. Weird working hours, so make sure you check the calender from Maps and make a reservation.
The food is a bit heavy, but really tasty.

Turkish Döner is a thing in Berlin, and this place is by far the most notorious one. Small kiosk serving thousands every day. Almost a tourist attraction. If you ask me, I am not sure if it is worth the waiting time, but the thing is it is soooo close to where you'll be located. Every time you walk to U6, you'll pass by it, so who knows...

A good option for Italian. Is it amazing? No, but the food is quite good. Best thing with this place is it's location. In the heart of Kreuzberg, near the Spree, close to the most hip bars and streets of Kreuzkölln. Definitely needs a reservation. Indoors is not so fancy, so if the weather is not good to eat outside, doesn't worth the effort.

If the weather is nice (I mean no rain, no clouds, no wind), this is a spot you want to be as a tourist. It has a 360 degree Berlin skyline, located at the top of a historical shopping mall. The entrance is a bit weird, you take the elevator and climb on top this mall and enter a parking lot and start asking yourself what the hell is happening. But then it is worth it.
Might require a small entrance fee depending on the day and time.

周邊交通資訊
If you want to use Underground (U-bahn)
U-Mehringdamm is 7 mins walk from home, and it is at the intersection of U7 and U6.
U6 will take you to the official city center (Mitte) in two-three stops, where a lot of tourist attractions are located (such as the Checkpoint Charlie, the Jewish Memorial, etc.).
Using instead the U7 line will either take you to the heart of the Kreuzkölln region (Hermannstraße stop) in the east, or to Schöneberg-Wilmersdorf in the west.
