Actually, that is one thing which annoys me about coffee places; so often they have mediocre or bad baked goods. Starbucks is an example. One of the 'best of the worst' items on the menu is non-veg suitable, and everything else is really unhealthy or just tastes unpleasant to me.

Does anyone remember Torrefazione? It was the high end version of Seattle's Best Coffee before Starbucks bought both and killed them off. Actually, some of the SBC locations also had decent baked goods.

And if ever in Berlin, in the Leipziger Straße there is an oddity. Not only is it a drive through (unusual unless it's a McDonalds McDrive in Germany), it is a coffee drive through, and a Hawaiian themed one! (Cahoona) I've only ever used the walk through window. The coffee isn't overly special but being greeted by Aloha at a coffee drive through metres from where the wall once stood is an experience I have done a few times, mainly for the bizarreness factor, or if I happen to be walking past.

However for excellent coffee and ever better baked goods and pastries and chocolate the Chocolate Café above nearby Fassbender and Rausch on the Gendarmenmarkt is the place to go.
