Kissabō (喫茶房) is a contemporary Japanese tea bar on Kopenhagener Straße, Berlin — sixteen seats and a room built for doing very little, slowly. The way in is the tea: single-farm matcha and gyokuro, co-curated with Yuki Okamoto, tenth-generation grand tea master from Kyoto, and handmade seasonal sweets. Wednesday–Sunday, 14:00–18:00, walk-ins first.
Kissabō (喫茶房) opened in February 2026 in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin — a sixteen-seat tea bar founded by Małgorzata and Marcin Chełkowski as the place they needed themselves: somewhere to sit without obligation, where an hour passes slowly. The tea is the vessel for that — single farms in Wazuka, Uji, Shizuoka and Miyazaki, harvests dated to the year, the matcha selection co-curated with Yuki Okamoto, tenth-generation grand tea master from Kyoto. Sweets are made in-house each morning and usually gone by late afternoon. Walk-ins first, always; a few seats can be held ahead online. Wednesday–Sunday, 14:00–18:00.
