Requirements:
- a convenient table (or tables to put togehter) where 8-12 people can sit and talk
- an athmosphere that allows talking (no background music too loud)
- Wifi and no "no-latop"-policy
- Coffee and some breakfast
Our current location:
- Pure Origins: They are very good in keeping Google Maps opening hours up-to-date. No reservations possible, but if we come there at 8:30 there's more than enough space.
Other places we already hosted it at:
- Fragil Royal: Not possible anymore, they only open at 11am. Also in the past when they were open they were unreliable on reservations & there Google Maps opening time. Would be an amazing location though.
- Spreegold Bikini: Only downstairs open at 9am. Pretty good.
- Coffee Lab Kaiserhöfe: Their only table that fits enough people has a no-laptop policy. And they even warn you if you only get the laptop for a few seconds while you're waiting for your friend to arrive. So they won't like it if you bring people, have a conversation with them and look at your laptop sometimes.
- Tomasa: Loved it, specifically when you can sit outside in the summer, but 15mins walk from the nearest subway.
Places we would love to try if we have the opportunity:
Places we loved but closed:
- r/d coffee bar - that was our initial, original location - where everything started! Unfortunately it closed. I started it there because I knew it from the Silicon Allee meetups.
What other ideas do you have?
