During Berlin's harsh winter months, chairs and blankets are provided for those brave enough to 'go wild' and sit outside, when it's warmer the crowd will often spill out onto the street at this high-in-demand cafe. Inspired by the Portuguese deli scene in Hamburg, and the complete absense of anything similar in Berlin, Galao co-owner Axel Burbacher opened this little snack stop in trendy Prenzlauer Berg back in 2000.
Seating is not a priority here, so grabbing a typical Portuguese coffee and heading out to the nearby Weinbergsweg park with some Pastel de Nata (custard pies) is usually the best option, weather permitting.
Price examples
Coffee €2,30
Pastel de Nata €1,20
Where
Weinbergsweg 8, nearest station is Rosenthaler Platz U-bahn

According to Ed from Berlin Bites the Galao is located in Mitte, not in Prenzlauer Berg. Thank you for pointing this out.
