8 Fully Vegan Breakfast Spots in Berlin You Can’t Miss
Last updated: January 5, 2024
Although just about every breakfast place in Berlin will offer some kind of vegan option (it is known as the vegan capital of Europe, after all), if you’re looking for a fully plant-based menu, you’re in the right place. These spots have some of the best brunch food in Berlin (vegan or otherwise) so grab a pal and get to brunching!
Trivitys
If you enjoy plant-based cheese, Trivitys is the place. The only place in Berlin that competes is probably Alaska Bar. When visiting Trivitys, definitely get their cheese plate which comes with three squares of spreadable cheese, cream cheese, nutritional yeast, red beet spread, fresh salad, and homemade bread. Take your time at this relaxing café, and be sure to try one of their pastries as well. I also hear great things about their egg salad! Plus, Trivitys is not only fully vegan, they’re also fully gluten and added sugar free.

Plant Base
Plant Base is known for their creative, yet simplistic dishes like carrot salmon with avocado toast, and plant based egg and cream cheese bagel sandwiches. The interior design and decor shines bright even on a gloomy winter day, and their wide range of pastries and plates make it so that there’s something for everyone. Much of their food is organic and even their latte spice mixes are made in house!
If you like carrot lachs, I recommend trying their cream cheese, carrot salmon, and capers bagel. Although I thought their bagels were just okay, I liked the other ingredients. Their house plate for one also comes with a ton of food, and is pretty good value. Plus, you get to try a little bit of all their best offerings.
I’m already eyeing their caramel bars and ‘tuna’ chickpea sandwiches for my next visit. . .

Greenfinch
Enjoy a delicious vegan brunch in a lovely environment. Their grilled cheese is satiating and rich, and their pancakes are just as tasty. Afterwards you can explore the beautiful and highly underrated micro-neighborhood Bötzowkiez.

Froindlichst
Froindlichst is home to sweet cakes, full breakfast plates, and yummy lunches. The Brettina is an especially hearty plate which includes two bread slices topped with a mix of white bean feta spread, avocado, egg salad, and rice paper bacon, mini pancakes, syrup, plum compote, mac and cheese, fruit, and an edamame rice salad. I wasn’t a big fan of the avocado toast, but their egg salad and bacon toast is delish! Plus, they offer plates like full English breakfasts and full size plum pancakes. It’s a bit of a pricier spot, but worth visiting once.

Immanuelkirchstraße 31 | Prenzlauer Berg
Geh Veg
This cute vegan café has no shortage of nice starts to the day. I like their savoury Frühstuck plate which comes with tempeh, spreads, vegetables, and bread. They also offer a sweet version which comes with seasonal spreads, margarine, fruit, yogurt, a croissant, and bread roll. They additionally have smaller breakfast plates like pancakes and porridge. In the summertime they sell ice cream and milkshakes, both delicious!

Frea
This bakery is zero-waste, locally-sourced, and fully plant-based. Their food scraps are composted and turned into fertilizer that is then returned to their local suppliers. I’ve tried just two pastries here and liked them both very much. Their Spandauer with vanilla crème is especially amazing, and their poppy seed and marzipan twist is perfect if you don’t like overly sweet pastries. I'm hope to revisit soon to try their cardamom bun. Their house breakfast is also tasty and nice to split between two people. The plate costs €20 and includes croissants, brioche, brötchen, butter, spreads, fresh and cooked vegetables, and hummus. Their baked goods run from €3 to €5.
For special occasions head down the street to Frea Restaurant, which shares the same values as their bakery, but instead offers sit-down dinners in a cozy environment. I haven’t ate at their restaurant yet, but it looks like a nice spot.

Mana
This fully plant-based restaurant does all the classic vegan breakfast specialties quite well, including ‘eggy’ tofu scrambles, carrot lachs, pancakes, and overnight oats. Their bagels are nice and crunchy, and they don’t skimp on the avocado! They’ve semi-recently opened up a second spot in Moabit, which I believe has a smaller menu, but still has plenty to offer, especially brunch related.

EasyPeasy
This women-owned brunch spot is not just vegan, it’s also gluten free! Their portions are very hearty and they offer a mix of savoury and sweet breakfasts. You’ll find many classic vegan breakfast dishes here like tofu scrambles, carrot lachs on toast, and acai bowls. You can even a few CBD drops to your meal if you fancy! They also have a few little cakes for sale, but I was only a fan of their NY cheesecake variation.

Bonus:
Blumental
Blumental is a fully vegetarian café with about a 90% vegan menu. They offer cow’s milk and the option to add an organic egg to dishes as a side, but their main dishes on their own are otherwise fully plant-based. This is a beautiful café filled with natural light, a spacious interior, a well-thought-out color palette, and healthy dishes. Just about any of their entrees will get you halfway to your 5 a Day, and I can particularly recommend their fennel, apricot, olive tapenade, and sourdough plate (trust me it works) or their pea guacamole and carrot on toasted sourdough dish. Plus, they have plenty of scrumptious plant-based cakes to balance out your meal. They also pride themselves in being a low waste joint, and this is made possible through their mighty composting machine Berta which takes care of their organic waste in the back of the café.
It’s a very likable spot, and I’m sure you’ll agree.
