We are crafting a new kind of third place in Berlin's Bergmannkiez: a refuge where specialty coffee meets curated art and authentic community.
A true hybrid ecosystem: an elevated daytime café that naturally shifts into an immersive evening space.
More than just a venue, it's a living stage. We host curated DJ sets, creative workshops, and seasonal pop-ups, offering a platform for local artists and visionaries to share their worlds.
Driven by simplicity and uncompromising quality, our menu is a testament to ethical sourcing. We proudly partner with local, sustainable producers who share our core values.
The soul of our menu: carefully crafted sandwiches and fresh, house-made dips rooted in classic French-Mediterranean flavors, paired with premium beverages that captures the raw character of Berlin.
The Creative Soul
Interior Architect & Senior Barista
Originally from Paris, Mona moved to Berlin after falling in love with the city during an internship. With a background in interior architecture, graphic design and furniture design, she is the aesthetic soul of Aën. Having spent the last three years in specialty coffee, she’s developed a sharp eye (and palate) for the perfect brew. For her, Aën is the natural evolution of her passions: a place where coffee meets design, music, and events. So, Mona ensures the space has a soul and a story (and leaves the "fun" Excel formulas to Naël)
The Operational Mind
Engineer & Ops Manager
Originally from the north of France, Naël arrived in Berlin with his bikes, a passion for strong espresso, and a slight obsession with organization. Between financial modeling and supply chain management, he makes sure everything runs smoothly at Aën so that Mona can focus on design. In short: he keeps his feet on the ground so the project can take off.
He’ll still have to learn how to do latte art, though.
Berlin has always thrived on reinvention and community. Here, in the vibrant heart of Bergmannkiez, over 15,000 creative professionals navigate the daily blur between work and life. They aren't just looking for a caffeine fix; they are craving a true living space, a sanctuary to connect, pause, and be inspired.
While the city's specialty coffee scene has matured beautifully, the demand for spaces that organically evolve from a daytime retreat into an evening cultural hub remains largely unmet. Aën bridges this exact gap. We are answering the call for a curated environment where honest food, music, and human connection seamlessly collide.
