Nicht mehr Vegan!

Sie haben jetzt Eier und Käse aus "guter" Haltung in die Karte aufgenommen und sind somit nicht mehr länger Vegan! Es ist so absurd, ich könnte kotzen.

Pros: Nichts, Nichts, Nichts

Cons: Nicht Vegan, Nicht mehr Vegan, Nicht mehr rein Vegan

Great coffee, pastries and brunch

We got the savory plate and a pastry and liked it so much we came back the next day to try their toasts. The savory plate was my favorite—loved the miso hummus, the kimchi and mushrooms. My partner was very into the hollandaise and potato mille-feuilles. I also enjoyed the flatbread toast. The coffee here was the best we had in Berlin.

Update: With much regret, I had to report this place is no longer vegan. They also don’t have the savory breakfast plate anymore, but rather have several options with animal products. Most of their pastries are still vegan but be sure to check. -1 star

The best vegan pastries I've had

This place has become a staple for my Berlin visits and is top of the list when planning what to eat. The pastry is light and always has a good crispy snap to it.

The cardamom croissant is my highlight. It's a bit like a monkey bread with little bits to tear off and eat. It's sweet and sticky with a nice hint of cardamom to it.

The pistachio croissant is excellent too. A lovely croissant filled generously with a tasty pistachio custard with lots of vanilla too.

The vanilla spandauer is great too. It has lots of lovely vanilla custard and is good and crispy around the edges but does lose some of that in the base.

We had a couple of tomato and potato pastries to take away for lunch. They were a bit disappointing, the pastry was nice but the filling was pretty meagre.

Tasty croissants

The plain and the hazelnut croissants are really tasty! It can be quite expensive but nice for a breakfast.

Pros: Croissants are super flaky and nice , Hazelnut croissant is delicious , Good fresh juices and coffee

Cons: On the pricy side

I can't understand the Hype

I can't understand this hype. It's ok but way too expensive. The staff is also only moderately nice.

Ein (teurer) Traum

Man kann nett draußen sitzen. Der Kaffee ist gut und die Auswahl an Gebäck ist top und alles was wir probiert haben war lecker. Aber man zahlt auch etwas mehr. Tolle Toiletten.

Very nice! (+0,70 for oat milk??)

It’s a very nice place to get a quick bite.

You get the sandwich or croissant and then have to wait a while for your coffee. Maybe there’s a way to have it together?

Pros: It’s all vegan! , Food tastes good , Quick bit

Cons: 0,70 extra for oat milk (seriously?), Have to wait long for my cappuccino

Unbeatable Quality

Food, coffee and pastry of an uncompromising level. Wouldn’t know why anyone would need meat and dairy if all vegan food had this quality.

Overrated in my humble opinion….

I came with high expectations given the ratings… well, it was a disappointing experience. First of all be prepared to queue for at least 15-20 mins, even on a weekday and at 9:00 so shortly after when they open. Then, you order your food, they give you a buzzer for the drink and you patiently wait (again) for the buzzer to ring. Which by the way means there’s a constant “beep” sound which makes the experience annoying. Finally, their cardamom roll was nothing out of this world…

Best french breakfast in Berlin

The ultimate place for a good breakfast, croissants, pains au chocolat and products I can't find in France.
We went twice, it was so good!

Best food I ate in Berlin

What an incredible bakery. Was extremely busy so be prepared to wait a bit especially on weekends but well worth the wait. The marzipan laminated pastry was truly insane and the toast was delicious. Love that you can see them preparing the food in front of you. Must visit if you're in Berlin.

Delicious bakery, a little bit expensive

Everything is delicious is here (and vegan!), but a little bit expensive (especially coffee and cappuccino).
Anyways is worth it in my opinion, and the quality of the products is high enough to justify the price.

Cons: expensive

Tasty food and expensive coffee

We had the olive focaccia, which was very tasty, and an absolutely delicious cookie. They also sell a lot of bread and pastries and offer some lunch and breakfast options, but the kitchen was unfortunately closed when we visited (it closes at 3.30pm). The coffee is a bit small and expensive for my taste, but tastes good (but there is better & cheaper vegan coffee in Berlin).

Pros: Delicious baked goods, All vegan bakery, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Coffee is a bit expensive , Kitchen closes early

High quality pastries

Very high-quality pastries. Perfectly fresh, buttery, flaky, not too sweet, and a reasonable price. Indoor and outdoor seating. If you come right at opening, it isn't busy at all, but by 9:00 it started filling up with people on a Saturday. I recommend coming early to see the whole selection!

Giant Bakery. Everything Vegan. 🤯

Perfect pastries 🥐 with custard and more. They don't advertise that they are vegan, they just are! Brilliant example of how future restaurants and bakeries will be 🌱

Pros: Vanilla Custard Pastry🥮 🍮 , Cappuccino , Cozy, buzzing atmosphere.
