Great place for delicious food and great coffee.

If the weather is good you can enjoy coffee in a beautiful backyard.

If you like social arenas Der Pioneer is the spot . Classic cafe meals nothing fancy not recommended for interviews or business meetings. Great family ambiance, before adventures . Small studying refresher before a big exam . I recommend Der Pioneer for quick breakfast and brunch delicacy

I can't say I've figured out why a bakery/coffee shop of this quality is in Kensington, but I love that it is. Pastries are consistently top notch, and where else can you find caneles?

Friendly people and really delicious bakery items! Only thing is the chocolate ball with sprinkles was really bitter inside for some reason. Still five stars though.

Personality X.

The biggest perk about this place for me is that the laptop free for the most part of when they are open. So anyone who's trying to do some work on a computer usually steers clear of this place, leaving the atmosphere for individuals who just want to enjoy a book, conversation, or other things than...well, just that!
Service is always amazing. The pastries are always great. They're accommodating for people who are vegan, so they make a pretty mean cappachino with oat milk.

I am CRAZY about the pastries here! LOVE the almond chocolate croissants. Espresso is perfectly crafted and the staff couldn’t be more friendly. I walk past two other coffee shops to go here because it is 5x more enjoyable and the quality of food and staff cant be beat! I found this spot by walking by and after reading up on the owners backstory - it all makes sense… he is passionate and it shows! Again, i am crazy for croissants in generally and this place hits the mark perfectly. Prices are reasonable considering the spot down the street charges similar for sub par croissants and weird service. Certainly worth going out of the way to go to Der Pioneer.

Plenty of outdoor space out back, inside can get a bit packed during rush hours. Plenty of people bring their kids here, they are friendly to people with laptops but have windows for laptops on certain tables to ensure people can find a spot.

That Strejselschnecke pastry is a star. I took a bite into it and my life was changed. I don’t know what kind of day I was going to have prior to the Strejselschnecke but it was literally impossible to have less than a great day after eating this. 10/10 no notes. Also the staff is always really nice.
