The Analog Cafe
TheAnalogCircle is an in-person community for Expats. We host phone-free events for you to make friends and feel at home 🫶🏽
You walk into the cafe, someone welcomes you with a warm smile. There are no phones in sight, people are actually talking to each other, they’re open, friendly and kind.
We play fun ice-breaking games to get to know each other, we then spend time together with a warm drink, talking or doing an activity together. At the end, you feel like you’re leaving a meaningful gathering of friends, your heart feels warm.
This is what to expect at The Analog Cafe, join us.

Meet your host
Hi I’m Bolu :)
I moved to Berlin in March 2020, 2 weeks before corona started. I didn’t speak German, had no friends, lived alone and worked from home. I had moved from Lagos Nigeria, a place where I was surrounded by family and friends, community and laughter, to the isolation and social distancing of Corona in Berlin. I had money, a good job, I could explore Europe, yet life felt so empty, it felt pointless. I was deeply lonely and depressed.
Over the last few years I’ve crawled out of the depression, and the most important part of the journey were my relationships, friendships and community. Spending time with people, showing up for people, they showing up for me, loving and being loved.
I’ve tried a bunch of communities and not quite found a place where I belong, a place that feels like home. Home for me means spending time together, sharing our stories, joys and struggles, supporting each other.
I’d like to invite you to build that home together, let’s build a place we belong, together.
