Style:
Cafe with, well, cupcakes of all kinds
More:
Cupcake serves mostly cupcakes of all kinds, but this is one of those American colonies in Berlin and you can find there American soft beverages, and some vegetarian dishes (toasts with beans/cheese), Oreos and Reeses.
Reviews:
Lizzy in "Trying Veganism" has written a nice review of the place, adding some great photos, see it at Trying Veganism. In general, Lizzy was excited by (almost) everything, but she says that the frosting on the vegan cupcake (which is naturally without milk or egg) tastes like margarine.

Kuchen Kaiser
Style:
Café, German, Eclectic, Cakes
More: A veteran restaurant with good German and non-German food
Reviews:
Kuchen Kaiser is one of our old recommended restaurants. It is located in Kreuzberg, and has a real Kreuzberg spirit: a mixture of locals of all kinds, foods of all kinds (mostly German, though) and excellent cakes.
Jane, for example, writes: "Kuchen Kaiser, a restaurant in a somewhat residential area that claimed to be the emperor of cakes. We got a light lunch to ensure we had room for cake. We all got different kinds and shared them…and they were all delicious"
The Basics:
Oranienplatz 11, 10999 Berlin-Kreuzberg (Kottbusser Tor)
+49 (0)30 614 02 697
URL: Kuchen Kaiser
Accessible? Yes, including toilets if we remember correctly (we were so impressed by the ramp and the friendly attitude to wheelchair users)
Child-Friendliness? very much, including a "surprise pack" for children and general tolerance; outside, there is a garden, but there isn't a real playground; changing a baby is done in the toilets and is not highly comfortable.

It could be integrated with "The Spirit of 1968" and the Kreuzberg tours and with customised Berlin tours

Opernpalais
The Basics:
Unter den Linden 5, 10117 Berlin (near the Staatsoper, buses 100, 200, TXL)
+49-(0)30- 20268 3
URL: Opernpalais Berlin
Accessible? partly. The regular toilets are in the cellar floor (after a flight of stairs, no lift); however, there is one place in the restaurant floor, which is accessible for those having difficulty going all the way with the stairs, but is not wide enough for a wheelchair user.
Child-Friendliness? As long as they act like good Victorian children and are seen but not heard. I think that older children would enjoy the unique atmosphere, but younger children who want to run around or play a little on the table will have to go elsewhere. No nappy changing table.
Style:
Cafe well known for amazing cakes
Related Tours/Sites:
Near Unter den Linden, the University, the Museum Island, and of course, the Opera (Staatsoper).
Could be integrated with a general instrodutory tour in Berlin or with customised Berlin tours
More:
One of the best known cafes (serves food, but it is not really a restaurant) in Berlin, with great cakes and majestic feeling of a classical central European cafe. Ideal for those looking for a bit of atmosphere. Prices are a bit high (relatively to Berlin coffee houses), but the food/cakes are worth it.
Reviews:
BeenThere users rave: "offers an experience unequalled anywhere that I know of. The opulent surroundings are only upstaged by the wonderful choice of delicious cakes [...] not to be missed!" and "This is really a nice place to be! I had lunch there with a colleague while working at the German Foreign Office next door and found everything crisp and pleasant. Although I am not a "kuchen" lover, I must admit the offer of cakes is tremendous."
We have also enjoyed this place. Beware that the service is somewhat slow and the prices a bit up-market. If you like the cakes, you can also enjoy their cafe in Gruenewald.
