Great place!

We enjoyed a coffee and quiche and soup a lot here! The cakes were okayish, as they were dry and not so tasty! Smoothie was also very simple! Service was great! Visited 4th of June!

Sehr freundlich und lecker

Ich war bisher zwei mal dort und beide Male waren wir alle sehr begeistert von dem Essensbuffet und der freundlichen Atmosphäre. Ich empfehle Pele Mele daher gerne weiter! :)

Third time's the charm... or maybe not

I have been to Pele-Mele three times. The first time I ordered a matcha latte that tasted so bad and fishy I could not drink it. But based on the good reviews I thought that maybe I just went there on a bad day. So I went there again and had a piece of cake filled with cherries and soy cream. It wasn't very special, but it was ok. The third time I ordered a piece of blueberry cheesecake to go. When i tried it at home it was so bad i just threw it in the trash :-(

Pros: girl who works there was very nice and friendly

Cons: not tasty

be warned

i'm puzzled by all the good reviews this place gets. i feel sorry that i can't leave a good review, but i've never been to a restaurant that has next to nothing to offer.The only good thing, in my opinion, is its location. And i did try to give it a chance, mainly because i live nearby. But it's a total waste of time, money, hunger..I even discussed it with some vegan friends, as i thought that maybe i've been there only on "bad" days, could happen..yeah, but no - all of them shared the same disappointing experience. The last time we were there, we had to wait for 20m to get the staff's attention - in an empty restaurant. It took them another 40m to serve a pile of unbelievably ugly-presented, bluntly-tasting food. The white bread looked & tasted as if bought from the cheapest bakery, the spreads looked & tasted awful. The quiche was so old, dry and over-salted that i'm puzzled they even dare to sell it..On top of everything, it's unbelievably expensive for what they offer..Probably i would've let all of this slide, if at least the service was nice & attentive..But they didn't seem to care less how disappointed we were ..for this quality of the food & service, i wouldn't visit, even for free..

Pros: location

Cons: food, service, expensive

Good for a coffee...

A slightly pretentious cafe that has a little trouble backing it up. It is a bit too hip for it's surrounding area. I guess it's pioneering Neukoln's gentrification. But it should probably offer food of a slightly higher quality or lower price.

The food is tasty but not fantastic. The salad was drowning in it's dressing and the brownie was very dry.

It has a good atmosphere for a quiet coffee and some good conversation.

boring, slow and expensive

Had the largest a la carte breakfast for 12,50 €. Waited about 30 minutes. The two roll were hard. A lot of tiny bits like spreads and Tofu slices but most of them boring in the variance of taste. Maybe suitable for just drinking coffee and maybe the brunch is good. But for a la carte breakfast I would go elsewhere next time.

Pros: vegan

Cons: expensive, long waiting times, seats not comfortable, small tables

Must try their bagels

For less than 5 euro, make your own bagel with your choice of tofu, spread/hummus, and vegetables. A great, healthy light meal.

brunch is a must

I've been to Pele-Mele before and whilst I liked the food I found it a bit expensive.

However - having tried the €13.50 brunch today I would definitely recommend it! Absolutely delicious. A good selection of spreads, hot and fresh rolls, salads, hot food, deserts and granola. There is tap water and wifi too.

The cake selection is large and varied and delicious - a surprise was the lemon blondie which looks like a mess but is delicious.

The staff are lovely and bi-lingual : they were super nice when I booked a table, arrived, during service, and when I paid.

Thoroughly recommended - delicious food, nice place to sit too

Pros: taste, service, brunch!

Cons: a la carte menu a bit expensive

lovely cozy place

A really sweet cafè serving awesome cakes and a wide range of savoury dishes. Everything is home made and organic as well... loved their bagel ( you can create your own) and enjoyed their changing and very creative soups! Ah and the coffee is awesome as well!
Worth checking out!

Pros: delicious self made organic food, cozy and very welcoming atmosphere, sweet and savoury

Favourite brunch in all of Berlin

I went there in 2014, having tried the brunches from veganz, cafe morgenrot, kopps, and another - and this one is my favourite - we there a total of twice. I was in Berlin again in 2016, but unfortunately did not get to come back. Next time!

Pros: Great food, Good price, Cosy atmosphere

Cons: Far away

not cheap but worth it

Gentrification has never tasted that good.
We had breakfast, homemade lemonade and cake for a bit over 30€ for 2 people.
The staff is super friendly. When we were there, it was very quiet and a pleasure to sit outside.
The food was very tasty and freshly made.

Pros: all vegan, partly fair trade, friendly staff, calm atmosphere

Cons: not wheelchair accessible, every little extra costs extra e.g haver/almond mi

Good

The cafe is cozy and the staff is attentive and polite - even though the waitress forgot one of our orders. They have gluten free options and explain which items can be replaced by gluten free items. The sandwiches were good, but portions were tiny and quite pricey. I'd recommend going if you're close by, especially if gluten is a concern for you - but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

Pele-mele brunch buffet

Very nice place! The food was very tasty. We had a green juice, coffee en sunday buffet. It all tasted so great. Great vegan yoghurt in three different flavours. Bread and a lot of toppings. Coffee was very nice, juice was ok.

Cozy place with good food

I think my boyfriend and I spent a few hours at Pele-Mele the other day as we were waiting for someone, so we had a chance to try a few dishes and drinks :) All was good and on a healthy-ish side. As it's pretty hard to find decent places for lunch during the week days, I'm pretty sure we will be back during our next trip!

Pros: Friendly stuff, Cozy and tidy, Nice menu

Berlins' best kept secret?

Had sunday brunch buffet.
Not exactly the first place you'd go, as it's not exactly in the city center but what a pleasant surprise! Many options (almost too many), all very tasty, well prepared and nicely presented.
Good atmosphere too.

Pros: great coffee, many options, good atmosphere

Cons: not very cheap

Ich würde zurückgehen

Hier habe ich feines Gebäck, einen guten Smoothie und einen leckeren Shake in netter Atmosphäre genossen. Das Obst wurde frisch püriert und alles ist vegan.

Nettes Café

Nettes Café etwas ab vom Schuss. Der größte Vorteil ist, dass es 100% vegan ist. Yeah, mehr davon.

Pros: rein vegan

Mediocre

I came for lunch and was underwhelmed - good coffee, an average sandwich that was small for the price, and a cake that was too sweet with a hard-to-chew caramel. I returned for the brunch which was mediocre, I could make it better at home, at 13.50 with no coffee, way overpriced. If you're looking for a spot to work then this place is fine, but don't expect anything interesting

Nothing special

We went there for an afternoon snack, had the quiche of the day, a piece of chocolate cake and a pastry. Quiche was nothing to write home about, pastry was o.k., cake was alright too.

All in all nothing bad but there's no reason to return.

relaxing ambience

Very nice café with tranquil atmosphere. The food was very good! Go for the quiche with a side of salad, it's delicious and filling. The orange, carrot and ginger juice is very refreshing and it's served in a pretty wine glass (:

Pros: quiche and juice, interior , music

Nice breakfast spot

I went to Pele Mele for breakfast one weekday morning when it was very quiet. The breakfast was good - I had the Mediterranean one, which came with a kind of tofu/tomato Caprese salad, some nicely flavoured tofu, various salady bits and lots of bread (actually too much bread, to be honest, I couldn't eat it all). It was a very substantial breakfast, so it was worth the money. The food was really nice. The hot drinks came with a little biscotti on the side, and the cakes looked pretty tempting too.

Brunch very disappointing

I went there once, I won't go twice. On a sunday with my boyfriend, it was FULL of kids, SO annoying!! there were so loud and the parents did not care.
About the food: Well paying 10€ for 2 dishes, one spread (I even doubt it was homemade) was not pleasant. Even if it was an all you can eat, well you ate pretty everything they had on one plate
I found the brunch very poor compared to all the brunch I have tested in Berlin, no research in the dishes at all.
Quite the "fancy Neuköllner Vegan Place" but that's all.
I had a look at the cake but.. I didn't go for it, wasn't appealing at all. Sorry

Pros: really loud, poor buffet

Cons: new place that can improve, nice coffee
