I thought you're welcome if you're going to eat quickly and go out. But if you're going to stay for a while, I don't know if you'll be welcome.

Cute place for delicious homemade pastry, coffee drinks, and breakfast digs in an unexpected place. Worth a visit if you’re around SM. You won’t regret it!

Found Berlina after waiting for a relative at UCLA imaging. Very charming coffee shop with an inviting ambiance. Food and decor show care and presentation of sandwiches is very appetizing. The owner was as friendly as she was efficient but what I found most impressive was the care and attention that she provided to a gentleman who appeared to be homeless. She was patient with him and offered him a cup of drip coffee. I loved the German theme and signs inviting guests to learn relevant German words. I can definitely attest that my mocha and the service were "lecker!" Merci bien pour le super cafe et service!"

A little surprise as I was just passing by, thought it was just a typical coffee shop. A little taste of Germany with beautiful fresh pastries and breakfast biscuits. Loved it!

Stopped in about noon on a weekday, and immediately felt welcome. The space is charming and clean, the menu varies to a small degree, and food is brought in fresh. The prices are very good, considering the location; I was surprised, pleasantly. I also looked that they can accept cash. I got an Americano, black, and a pastry with cardamom, the last one there. The coffee was just strong enough (an Americano is often too watery). The pastry was delightful, light, flaky, fresh, a nice mix of flavors without any one being overbearing.I'm frequently at UCLA around the corner, and SGI Buddhist HQ a few blocks away, will definitely be back!

Super nice place with great coffee/pastry/food options. Service is excellent with friendly staff. The place is clean and welcoming. One of my favorite coffee shops.
There is no better place in 10 ml radius to have a European style pastry, great coffee and croissant in peace and quiet. It’s squeaky clean and it’s very comfortable. I’ve been coming here every week since it opened a couple of years ago.

Cute place. Called Berlina because it's German vibes all day. I enjoyed the Berlin theme. I think this place may be more about the coffee than the eats. My mocha was absolutely delicious, so major props for that.I passed on the $10 breakfast biscuit. The cinnamon bun was fancy looking and came recommended. Pretty and delicious. Just a little dry. They offer a selection of premade sandwiches. There's a café on the other side of Wilshire that looks better for lunch per se. Very close to UCLA Health. It's just around the block. A good amount of indoor seating. One table out front with chairs, but with the Wilshire vibe dominating the mood.

Terrific, quaint little coffee shop. Drinks and pastries are excellent. ☕️? The classical music makes the ambiance perfect for reading and writing too.

I'd say it's more like 3.5 stars. Iced Bear latte 5/5 delicious oat milk based latte with a light hazelnut flavor. Just slightly sweet, creamy and flavorful. I'd get this again for sure. Kouign amann 2.5/5 I am a kouign amann snob. It's my favorite pastry and this one was just okay. It was pretty dry inside. Not like a sweet, soft and dense core like it should. I wouldn't get theirs again. Service was quick, kind and attentive. Meter street parking on Wilshire.
Unfriendly insulting rude that is what I got from
