Germany in English

Berlin is angry — again. LAP Coffee, a fast-growing expat-founded café chain, just got hit with red paint and boycott calls over “gentrification.” Here’s why a cheap flat white has become a symbol of something much bigger in Germany. LAP Coffee started as a small Berlin café with a minimalist vibe and cheap prices — now it’s everywhere in Germany, and not everyone’s happy about it. After red paint attacks and boycott calls accusing the brand of fueling gentrification, we break down what this story really says about modern Germany: rising rents, expat success, and the cultural tension between global trends and local identity. 🎯 In this episode: • What actually happened to LAP Coffee and why protests erupted • Why locals see it as a symbol of gentrification • How expat-founded brands are changing German cities • The deeper cultural clash between “global cool” and “local authenticity” 💬 “It’s not just about coffee — it’s about who gets to belong in the new Germany.” 🗓️ New episodes every Wednesday & Saturday — clear, insightful takes on life, culture, and change in Germany, in plain English.Germany in English is the podcast that makes living in Germany make sense.
