This place is pure awesomeness and a vegan haven 😍
The food tastes incredible, the prices are really reasonable and there are lots of diverse options on the menu: pasta dishes,salads bowls,gluten-free options (which is rare!)raw cakes,smoothies bowl and more.
Extra shout out to the hummus and African bowls , which are amazing.
Raw gluten-free cakes and coffee are the top as well!

Pros: Homemade authentic food made with passion, Books to share, Amazing living-room space to relax

Nice place

We arrived for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake on a Sunday where the place only served brunch, but they nicely made an exception for us - although they forgot our order for a short while and mis-calculated the price of our order, so if we hadn’t been watchful, we’d have payed overprice. The place had nice outdoor seating and the brunch looked super good, the coffe was good and the cake as well.

Pros: Fully vegan, Great selection

Amazing vegan food and beautiful cafe

Absolutely INCREDIBLE food! I came here for my birthday brunch and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the vegan brunch and it was absolutely huge with two giant plates (fruits, breads and yogurt on one and delicious vegetables and salads on the other). The atmosphere and vibe of the place is great with nice music and lovely quirky decorations. The owners are really kind and helpful and even gave me a free desert for my birthday. I will definitely be coming back here next time I’m in Berlin. Thank you so much!

Pros: Incredible food, Kind service , Nice atmosphere

Cons: The portion was so good I couldn’t fit in more

C’est magnifique !


I had a fair amount of vegan meals during my stay in Berlin, but this place sticks in the memory the most.
Staff is very helpful and passionate about what they do, which is a joy to see. My friend had the hummus plate which was amazing ,i had An African bowl with a kind of yummy peanut vegetables stew .
Everything was extremely fresh and really authentic,raw cakes included.
If you think that vegan food is boring ,this wonderful place will change your mind.

Pros: Authentic food made from top ingredients , Amazing sunny terrace , Wonderful people working there

Cozy and delicious

This place is beautiful and cozy! The staff is very helpful and nice. Great coffee. I would recommend going here on a weekday rather than during Sunday brunch. The food is fresh and delicious! Highly recommend going here!

The perfect vegan brunch, for everyone

The Ataya Caffé is a gem in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg. The food is a mixture of Italian and African cuisine (rigourously vegetarian and vegan). It's perfect for lunch with the family, a brunch with your friends and - why not - a coffee by yourself. The brunch is highly recommended, love the freshness of their products, their hummus is a dream. :)

The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. Highly recommended!

Pros: Fresh products, Friendly staff, Comfortable environment

Cons: Reservation needed for the brunch, Not ideal for big groups (6+ people)

Unique Place out of this world!

I visited this Amazing cafe’a number of times duing my stay and love it.
The food is amazing and I'd eat there all day if I could.
It's run by two wonderful people, Elisabetta (talented Vegan Chef) and Bachir his husband ,they have worked really hard to get this business off the ground.
. It's becoming more and more a must for anyone travelling to Berlin and its not difficult to understand the reason why!
The vibes here are great.
Their food is one of the bests I ever had during my Anonymous for the voiceless worldwide tour.

Pros: Terrific good food, Amazing owners , There a dream behind their concept

Ataya...sapore di casa

Ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere questo fantastico angolino pieno di colori e allegria...Il cibo è ottimo ( non sono vegetariana e/o vegana) con prodotti freschi e combinati ad arte. Per non parlare poi del locale, accogliente, rilassante colorato ottimo per trascorrere il "pranzo della domenica" !
Infine ma non meno importante la cordialità e gentilezza dei titolari, sempre pronti per farti sentire a casa!

Food full of love

We came to Berlin for a Vegan Tour and we were lucky to had the chance to discor this AMAZING place hidden on a side street .
We enjoyed an extremely yummi lunch sitting on the terrace .
Lunch was a dance of flavours , spicy at the point .
Ravioli filled with asparagus , and "the perfect HUmmus"of my life(I'm an hummus fan!)
You can tell that the products they use are super fresh and superb.
As the owner told me they use only Evo hight quality oil,.
This place is really a vegan heaven and is without any doubt the best we visited in Berlin.
I will raccomend this place to all my community .

Pros: Homemade authentic food, Welcoming owners , Amazing interiors

Good

Good food, big portions. A bit too oily and greasy for my taste. After all the hype I read about this place online I guess my expectations were too high?

Warm, Bright, Cosy spot

A friend suggested Ataya to me and as soon as I looked at the unique concept (Senegalese Sardinian fusion) I was sold. The food convinced me even further what a wonderful spot this is. Generous portions with big, comforting flavours. I'm only in Berlin a couple times a year but this will go to the top of my must visit list for whenever I'm in town. Also worth mentioning: it's nice to see a cafe that is so family friendly.

Pros: Family friendly, Welcoming atmosphere

This place is simply Amazing . The colors, the flavors, the friendly service. The prices are super reasonable and the dishes are generous and delicious ,everything on the menù is outstanding, their hummus is simply the best I’d ever had and the African plates are full of flavours and love.

Great experience

Ataya Cafe is a unique place in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg:
The Afro-Italian influence of the vegan specialities is as interesting as tasty.
Everything is prepared daily and - which is the most important thing- cooked with passion and love. An absolute recommendation if you want to try something different from average :)

Pros: Great choice between very different kinds of food, Kids friendly (kids have their space for playing , the owners try to satisfy also individual requests

Quando Italia e Africa si incontrano a tavola

Per un vegano, è quasi sempre un'avventura rischiosa provare una nuova attività ristorativa che non tratta unicamente prodotti vegani. Niente paura, siete in buone mani!
I proprietari sono 2 persone squisite, attente alla esigenze culinarie della clientela e con un forte senso ospitale che mi aspetterei dalla fusione delle 2 culture.
Loro hanno ben chiaro quanto sia importante il rispetto per ogni forma di vita, sia animale che vegetale. Sono rimasto molto contento di sapere il loro cambiamento verso un'offerta puramente vegana.
I colori, i sapori, la freschezza, la creativita, la passione e l'amore che entrambe trasmettono con cibo, ambiente e servizio è emozionante. "Mi riporta a casa" ad ogni mia visita!
Non andate se il vostro obiettivo è riempirvi la pancia ma andate perché volete vivere un'esperienza unica nel suo genere. Dopodichè non vi sembrera più neanche costoso ;)

Bravi ragazzi, ci si vede presto!

Feel good place

Ihr liebt bereits die vegane Küche, besonders die warme italienische und/oder die herzliche senegalesische? Dann seid ihr hier genau richtig. Das Essen ist mit Herzem zubereitet! Falls ihr jemanden von der pflanhenbasierten Küche überzeugen wollt, spielen euch sowohl die Gerichte als auch dir Menschen hier ganz klar in die Karten! Bis ganz bald, Maria de Andalucía! :)

Love AtayaCaffe

AtayaCaffe is definitely a must-visit when you are in Berlin! Splendid meals, cozy atmosphere and wondeful owners! 💛 The food is just excellent - healthy, fresh and full of rich flavors! Betta and Bachir are lovely hosts and AtayaCaffe feels very much like home. Now that they are 100% vegan the place is one of the best ones in Berlin!

My recommendations are the African bowl, bananabread and Curcuma latte! I'm soon going back for third round of all those!

Pros: Amazing food, Wonderful owners, Cozy place

Lovely vegan cafe in PBerg

Ataya is a small and cozy cafe located in a very quiet area of Prenzlauer Berg. Not only the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, but the food is also delicious and made with love by Elisabetta! Don't miss it ;)

What a stunning place!

This is one of the best places in Berlin. The food they offer is more than fresh and it felt like I was in a detox restaurant.
I'm so happy that this place will be soon a fully vegan! Keep your work up. Not to forget to mention the owner's of this Café, both are so kind and we had such a beautiful chat together. ❤

TOP TOP TOP

Wow this place is wonderful !! I went there because somebody recommended it for the nice food, but the place offers much more than that. First of all, the people working there are really kind and friendly, make you feel totally comfortable in a warm and nice atmosphere. There is even an area for the children to play, so that they can also have fun while mothers can enjoy the meal. Let's not forget about the food.... an interesting mixture of African/Italian food, fresh ingredients prepared in an healthy way, and you really understand that the person who made it put heart and passion in it. I can only recommend it !

Pros: A big choice of healthy delicious homemade food, Friendly environment, Honest prices

Cons: Too far from where I live ;-)

Lunch

Im Atayacaffe gibt es täglich (außer montags) frische selbstgekochte und leckere Gerichte für mittags. Gefüllte Tortellini oder Gnocci, Hummusteller, African Bowl oder neu Curry Dakar. Auch einen Salatteller kann man bestellen. Kaffeespezialitäten und einfallsreich belegte Bagels fehlen auch nicht. Die Inhaber sind überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Pros: fresh, homemade, friendly
