Mein Liebe

I've only ordered the same thing the few times I've gone (and the kartoffel cakes) but even so - I love the bread/cheese platter and overall concept of a vegan beergarden. Regrettably I haven't even gotten a beer here, yet.

Guaranteed I'm going to try EVERY plate from the menu asap.

It's been closed or overbooked for delivery during quarantine, so I really missed this place. I thought it would not make it but I've been wrong before. Looks like it's going to be packed daily since it's opening back up.

Pros: ALL-VEGAN

Cons: Only one exists

Bang for your buck

My husband and I visited this place on Labor Day night. We were pleasantly surprised about their hours. They do a virtual menu and the connection was very poor for us in the area, but we asked for the WiFi and were able to order in a jiffy. It was both our first times eating German food. My husband loves burgers and fries and this place was an automatic like for him. I really enjoyed the experience of navigating through the menu and choosing very different food from what we’d order at the many other vegan restaurants there are in OC, SD, and LA. I would go back with friends and/or family for the experience! I’m not a beer person at all, neither is he, we ordered the lighter beer and a grapefruit flavored one (both recs from someone who works there) our favorite was the grapefruit Schöfferhofer. Even the lighter beer was too much for us lol. The portions were SO big. We got a lot of food as we always do since portions are usually small, but man, these were great. Too much bread for what we’re used to in one sitting but still. The pretzel w beer sauce was very yummy, except too salty for me. Their mushroom sauce is TO DIE FOR. I liked how clean the place was and how new it looks. Really cool experience overall for both of us.

Pros: Big portions, Many options, Great overall experience

Cons: Too many carbs for one sitting , On the saltier side

Sausage heaven

Whatever they’re putting in those sausages, it’s perfect. My girlfriend loved the gluten free beer and I loved the jalapeño cheddar brat. They don’t skimp on the sauerkraut and make sure you get extra mustard.

Pros: All vegan , Community oriented , Local specialty

Delicious

From brunch to happy hour you can’t go
wrong. It’s all delicious. The French toast is a must have. Also love the house made butter and cheeses. Don’t forget the potato pancakes and the best strudel I’ve ever had!! The special holiday menu for dinner is what dreams are made of.

Pros: Fully vegan , Great service, Unique

Great food, and items you likely won’t find elsewhere.

Hinterhof is definitely worth checking out. The pretzel with the vegan cheese is pricey, but damn is it good. I also tried the bratlinger and the schnitzel, both of which were great. As was the lime radler! It’s awesome that there’s an entirely vegan restaurant that serves German food, which is something I haven’t encountered much in Germany itself.

Pros: Friendly service

Awesome and unique

I think this is the only German vegan restaurant I know of. I just visited for the first time on Dec 23 2019. They had some great holiday specials. My wife had the sauerbraten off the holiday menu and I had the bratwurst off the regular menu. Both choices were excellent.

We also shared a huge soft pretzel with cheese dipping sauce. Yummy.

Pros: Amazing German style vegan food, Great beer selection, Friendly staff

Cons: Street parking

Brought back memories of Germany

I could not believe my luck to have an all vegan German beer garden open up nearby and serve all of my favorite traditional German food and beer! The bananweizen and the creamy sauce they serve with the french fries brought me right back to my time in Germany! Everything on the menu I’ve tried has just completely blown me out of the water. It is such a cute place for a date night. We often get Liam as our waiter and he is the best! He is attentive without hovering and actually knows the beers and makes great recommendations! I will be back here every chance I get!

Fun and full!

Loved this entirely vegan menu and had a hard time limiting myself to just one main as they all looked so tempting. I got the appetizer of the day and Kasespatzle. Both were delightful and very satisfying! Highly recommend!

Pros: Great variety/options, Lovely outdoor seating

Some of my favorite food ever

Been here a few times for brunch and dinner. The cheese platters are incredible! The pretzel French toast is amazing, so is the German and the American and the schnitzel and waffles! I brought my meat eating dad here who used to live in Germany and he said the breakfast was the best breakfast he has ever had ( that isn’t just something he says normally). The kaspatzle (don’t think that is spelled right) is so so good and all the salads, breads and pretzels are great. Atmosphere is lovely and so is the service!!

Pros: Tip: it’s expensive,, so go for happy hour to get a good deal

Best Vegan German Food

Can not say enough good about the food, atmosphere and service here!!!!
I’m German and this was like going down tastebuds memory lane. This place is not to me missed especially if your heritage is German and you don’t live here, which I don’t so we had a smorgasbord of the menu. Even met the owner who loves it when Germans come to eat here.

Pros: Large selection of vegan dishes, Ambiance , Authenticity

Cons: No place like this where I live. 😏

Crazy fun

I love Germany and spent the summer there. So insane to find a local place that’s all vegan and so authentic. Tons of fun, great atmosphere, very very German

Unexplainable

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at a German kitchen in the US before! This place defies explanation and I love it. No where on site does the signage or menu say it’s vegan but it is. I think another surprising thing is traditional German fare is so meat-heavy and just heavy heavy. So a vegan version of that? Still heavy! Lots of soy and gluten. Love it or leave it. The bratwurst and cutlet seemed under flavored to me. But there is one starter dish that is mostly fresh with picked veggies and cold potato salad and it rocks - best dish on the menu! Lots of options for beer enthusiasts. Love the indoor/outdoor seating. Will go back when German family from Michigan is in town.

Pros: One of a kind

Cons: Heavy, No signage assuring you it’s vegan (it is)

Amazing vegan food!

This restaurant is different than the usual CA fare - totally authentically German and still all plant based! You must get the huge pretzel! The apple strudel is divine. No negatives. All wonderful.

Pros: Beautiful vegan food!, All vegan!, Friendly staff and owners

Pretty authentic German dishes

Didn't think I would be able to have authentic German food after going vegan, super impressed with everything we had here. Plus anywhere you can get great beer by the liter gets a thumbs up. CurryWurst was great.

The other reviews were so good!!

I never like to leave a bad review of an all vegan spot. But this place felt overpriced just for the sake of it. I was so excited that they had an option for GF vegan waffles... it was so crunchy that it hurt my mouth. One waffle for $16 with some berries and a little plop of coconut cream really didn’t impress. And my bf got the “omelet” which was just basically tofu mush- the texture was really off. In a city where the vegan food is getting so innovative, this place exemplified what non-vegans are scared of eating when they try vegan food. There was a nice vibe there though and we only got two things on the menu so maybe we will give a second chance based on all these other great reviews. Maybe.

Pros: Great atmosphere , Good drinks , Very attractive food

Cons: Food not up to par

Yum!!!

So hard to find a good vegan restaurant that’s not Mexican or Asian. This breaks the mold. Unique and lots of flavor. I loved the jager schnitzel! If you like mushrooms and deep fried stuff.. OMG! Get it. Also I’m not a big beer drinker but I found a light beer that really went well with my dish. Forgot the name but the waiter recommended it, so just ask and you shall receive 😇

Great hang out spot

Awesome drink list of imported beers and sodas. Food is authentic and I love that all their meats are made in house. Mashed potatoes contain almond milk, myself and several friends are allergic, so good to ask! The curry ketchup is divine. The pretzels are incredible and served warm.

Pros: Authentic german food and beer, great atmosphere

Cons: Wish they labeled their menu for what contain nuts

Guten Appetit!

Wow! The currywurst was so tasty! As was the jäegerschnitzel and the abendbrot! Portions were so big that not one of us finished our food, but so delicious that all of us made room for dessert! Very authentic German and made with love.

Pros: Huge portions!, Super Authentic

Cons: A little pricy for a quick casual dinner.
