FoodSemi-known

Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: 21gramm.berlin. 52.47218, 13.42915.

Practical

The address is Hermannstraße 179, 12048 Berlin. Reservations are available through the online booking tool, and some tables are held for walk-ins. The FAQ gives an average wait of 15 to 20 minutes for walk-ins and says same-day reservations are unavailable. The current menu lists items from €3.90 for cake, €4.50 for a croissant, €12 for shakshuka, and €14.50 to €15.80 for several main brunch dishes, with prices checked on 2026-08-02. [1][2][3][4]

Times and seasons

The official site lists Tuesday to Sunday service and says the terrace is used when the weather allows. The sources give no reliable seasonal crowd pattern, so the best season for a quieter visit is UNVERIFIED. [1][2]

Who it suits, and when

The venue suits brunch visitors, families, and people booking a group event. The current sources do not identify a group that avoids the venue, so that point is UNVERIFIED. A rough visit takes 60 to 120 minutes, based on the brunch menu and the reported walk-in wait, and this is an estimate. [1][2][3]

What is not obvious

The name refers to the old claim that the human soul weighs 21 grams, and the venue sits beside active cemetery grounds. [1]

History

The former cemetery chapel was converted for 21gramm after about seven months of work, and the café opened in mid-June 2018. The founders named in the opening account are Jeremias, Daniel, and Tillmann. [1][2]
