Our friends at Metis, in Prenzlauer Berg

Metis Books & Café, Gleimstraße 21. A café-bookshop run by two of our members, Dario and Bruno, opened in 2025: books in several languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan), with shelves on feminism and LGBTQ+ themes, coffee, cakes and Mediterranean specialities, readings and evenings. We celebrated the opening there in July 2025, then held several stammtisch and the 2026 general assembly.
