Breakfast at Isemarkt
Seafood Sandwich
I was looking for something for my breakfast.. and I got a sandwich with small shrimps and lettece.😋🥪🦐
The bread was a bit tough in my opinion though, it was “normal” for my German friend. 😅🥖
It was super nice for me to have some seafood after eating a lot of meat during staying berlin 🦐✨ They didn’t season it strongly, just simply mayonnaise on it which was great. 💕💕
Coffee
There are many coffee stands, and it was a bit hard to decide which one I would try.
Finally I got a hot latte from this stand. It was a bit strong which was perfect for me ☕️
