A new Berlin café called "The Barn - Roastery" is under fire for its no-stroller policy.
At the entrance to the café stands a 1-meter (3 feet) high concrete post in the shape of a bowling pin that prevents parents from bringing buggies inside.
In case the message wasn't clear enough, a sign on the window shows a pram with a line through it.
An official from the local city authority, Torsten Kühne, told a Berlin newspaper that the post was legal, explaining that the owner "has the right to decide who he lets into his establishment."
Berlin politicians have even weighed into the debate. "When families with children are deliberately excluded to this extent, that is going a bit far," said Sandra Scheeres, the family minister for the city-state of Berlin. Here, a young family in Berlin.
