Not a pavilion but a swan - an elevated sort of establishment in the guise of a simple roadside rest. Ideal on warm summer nights (and at all other times).

Quality out of a concierge cubicle: this minuscule cafe is housed IN the entrance to a Hinterhof. It is very well worth the risk of getting run over by the delivery vans shuttling though - get you caffeine to go before you set on to play a bit of boules a little farther down Paul-Lincke-Ufer and end up shoe gazing at Pavillion am Ufer.

Adorable. On the not so sightly Panier Street, a wabi-sabi Japanese-French ikebana of a cafe. Best canelés this side of Strasbourg.

Refugium for smokers and seditionists. The ethos of this revered institution is inclusive to a fault -- it might even welcome you, TOURIST! And I'll be a damned class traitor to have let the secret out...

Prize-winning coffee. Backed by brewing science. The baristas very likely studied to be barristers.

If quality espresso were not your universal Esperanto, you won't be left lacking in English here (and in Danishes, for that matter). Laptops allowed. In fact you would be only a doorstep short of having your own co-working space (and co-working coffee saucer).
