Go somewhere else - Edit
Close to Frea Bakery are vegan places that are worth supporting: Sanctuary and Sakura. Please don't support a bakery that goes backwards.

Not vegan anymore - Edit
Used to be my favorite bakery in Berlin.
Read moreNow sells eggs and mozzarella. Not a save space for vegans anymore. Sad day for Berlin. So animal cruelty is now their startegy.

Changed for the worse - Edit
Update May 2024:
Read moreThey changed their menu, there's only four different dishes: three a version of bread/ toast and overnight oats. They don't have the savoury plate anymore for example.
Prices increased and also the reusable towels in the bathrooms were changed for single use. I also saw milk from tetra paks. Zero waste?! Nope.
I won't be back as I am really disappointed.
First review:
... Vegan and zero waste:)
Serves savoury and sweet teeth, savoury breakfast was delicious and very filling.
Updated from previous review on 2024-05-22
Pros: Homemade baked goods, Outside sitting
Cons: No more zero waste

Sad that they’re not fully vegan anymore - Edit
I’m glad I saw a post online from a customer saying they’re no longer 100% vegan, or I would have of course assumed their newly added eggs and cheese menu items were vegan versions. There are other great vegan places quite close by that I’ll be giving my money to in the future, really sad to see businesses move away from environmentally friendly food and toward animal cruelty.

2 Sterne sind zu wenig!! - Edit
Always a place to go!
Read moreAls ich heute aber erfahren musste, dass hier tierische Zutaten verwendet werden, ohne die Kunden darauf hinzuweisen. Diese Irreführung ist nicht nur unverantwortlich, sondern auch respektlos gegenüber den Kunden, die dieser Bäckerei vertrauen. Ich werde definitiv nicht wiederkommen und kann diese Bäckerei niemandem empfehlen, der Wert auf Ehrlichkeit und Transparenz legt.

Would rather give one star for ethical reasons - Edit
Frea was a very popular place for a while now and I guess every vegan person in Berlin has been there at least once. Today we found out that they are no longer vegan which was a huge shock because it was not openly advertised. So not only did they choose to betray their loyal vegan customers, they also chose to do so quietly. Still shaking my head in absolute disbelief.

Nicht mehr Vegan! - Edit
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.

Great coffee, pastries and brunch - Edit
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.
Read moreUpdate: 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 - Edit
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.
Read moreThe 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.

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

Ein (teurer) Traum - Edit
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??) - Edit
It’s a very nice place to get a quick bite.
Read moreYou 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 - Edit
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…. - Edit
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 food I ate in Berlin - Edit
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.
