Walk The Path Of The Berlin Wall And Crash Into A Starbucks

Where: Potsdamer Platz 5, Berlin, Germany, 10785

Fresh from our Most Shocking McDonald's Locations and Must-See Apple Stores Of The World series, we're taking requests for Subways as we begin our Most Shocking Starbucks Locations. Know of a 'Bucks randomly tucked into a curious corner of the world? This is going to be a running series, so email us your suggestions!

So let's say that you're enjoying a lovely evening out for a stroll in Berlin, Germany and you're perhaps following a brick path in the street that marks the former location of the Berlin Wall. You're walking along, eyes down at the ground as you ponder the history around Potsdamer Platz especially, when you run right into the side of a Starbucks.

It's a nice Starbucks too, with perfectly round and sugared donuts in the case like in your dreams, but still it sits in a position of huge historical importance. Apparently enough years have passed however, and now this strip boasts more than just the Starbucks, but a Marriott hotel, a Subway, and a Haagen-Dazs Cafe (with free wifi!). Since grabbing a small strudel and kaffee here is far cheaper than the 50-Euro-per-night upgrade to an executive room at the Marriott which includes free breakfast, it's not an entirely unwelcome sight for tourists. We should know; we took this video.

Jot down the address in your Moleskine for your next visit to Berlin: 5 Potsdamer Platz, along Ebertstraße near its intersection with Voßstraße. It's as great a meeting point as any, within walking distance of Brandenburg Gate and did we mention the free wifi next door at the Haagen-Dazs Cafe?

Send us your Most Shocking Starbucks Locations!

    So true!

    I've visited, very reluctantly, this Starbucks, because it really seems like a shocking place to have one! There's something not quite right about sitting outside in with a coffee staring at the Brandenburg gate, but I did it anyway ...
