This is a volunteer-run café a few minutes' walk from Nollendorfplatz, and a project of the Berliner Aids-Hilfe. It calls itself a non-commercial meeting place, open to people living with HIV, their friends, and anyone from the neighbourhood.
The menu is home-baked cake, coffee specialities and an inexpensive hot lunch, served at small tables inside and on the street outside. Portrait photography lines the walls, including intimate, artistic black-and-white studies of men, alongside a red accent ceiling beam over the counter.
The name honours Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, the 19th-century pioneer of research into sexual orientation, and the street the café sits on carries his name too. Opening times are limited, Tuesday to Thursday afternoons, with the kitchen closing before the café itself.
