There are a few standing desks on the mezzanine that hardly anyone seems to use. Free, warm and quiet in January.

Genuinely silent at lunch. The chairs are firm but the connection was the most reliable I found anywhere in Berlin.

Big quiet reading floors and nobody minds a laptop. Sockets run along the walls, so the aisle desks are no use to you.
