The Best Brunch Spots in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin
Last updated: September 8, 2023
It’s no secret that Prenzlauer Berg can lure even the sleepiest Berliner out of bed for a weekend brunch. Bookmark this one for an indulgent breakfast sometime soon.
Café KRONE
A stone's throw from Mauerpark, this is hands down one of the coziest places in Berlin. Everything is yummy, but The G.O.A.T. egg dish and any of the pancakes really take the cake. Their Chai Latte is also very good (I get it with oat milk), and the staff is very friendly!
Try: Chai Latte
Oderberger Straße 38
SPRO
I think most of my blog readers already know how much I love SPRO, but in case it wasn't clear, SPRO is my favorite coffee shop in Berlin. Small and cozy, and full of character, with the kind of charm that makes me revisit again and again. With passionate people and high-quality beans, you’re guaranteed a nice time with any kind of caffeinated drink you get here. Scones are their specialty, so try one of their scone plates (the Norwegian is a real treat) and save room for a pastry or two! All of their pastries are amazing, but anything with berries or cheesecake based really makes me swoon.
Tell them I sent you!
Try: Flat White, Hot Chocolate, Salted Oreo Cheesecake, Norwegian Scone Plate
Schönhauser Allee 50A
Town Mouse
Town Mouse is a cozy little spot that lovers of cheese and bread will get a kick out of. Their cheese and mouse theme is adorable, I especially appreciate the painted mouse on their glass wall and that all their cheese plates are called ‘mouse traps.’ The Breakfast Bread I tried was very tasty, complete with toasted sourdough bread, tomatoes, Emmentaler cheese, green onions, and Dijon. The coffee and cookies are also delish! It’s hard not to have a good time at this friendly neighborhood spot.
Try: Breakfast Bread
Marienburger Straße 5
Kanaan
Hummus for breakfast? Yes please! This restaurant combines Israeli and Palestinian kitchens and creates a space perfect for everyone especially hummus lovers and fans of Middle Eastern cuisine. Bonus: Any brunch dish can be veganized (and like 90% of the menu is already vegan). They claim to have the best hummus in Berlin, and I think they’re right! Also you must try their bread and dips plate.
Try: Bread & Dips, Palestinian Hummus
Schliemannstraße 15
ABC - Allan’s Breakfast Club & Wine Bar
This Aussie-inspired brunch spot is the place to be if you're looking for a decadent and boozy brunch. The eggs benny is a good choice, and so is their croque monsieur. Get a side of brioche for extra carb-y goodness.
Try: Eggs Benedict
Rykestraße 13
Bekarei
Bekarei is a peachy spot in P’Berg that sells quality Portuguese and Greek baked goods. Pick from a delectable mix of bread loaves, sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and small bites. My perfect order consists of a sandwich on housemade bread alongside a pastry or two. Their pastel de nata is delish and I especially like their vegan variation, humorously named a pastel de nada. Bring a friend because you’ll want to try everything!
Try: Toastie on housemade croissant or bread
Dunckerstraße 23
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.
Try: Carrot Lachs Breakfast
Wichertstraße 33A | €€
44 Brekkie
Each egg drop sandwich comes together so wonderfully: perfectly toasted bread, expertly scrambled eggs, quality cheddar, and secret sauce. You can enjoy the sandwich in its classic style or try it with one of their add-ons. May I recommend their bacon, double cheese, and garlic version?? YUM!
Try: Bacon Double Cheese Garlic Sandwich
Rykestraße 44

Suicide Sue
Suicide Sue has top-notch value for what you get, especially for being in Prenzlauer Berg. You have plentiful options and can enjoy classic dishes like eggs with bread and butter, sweet croissants with jam and butter, and pancakes.
Try: Berliner Mocha
Dunckerstraße 2
House of Do An
House of Do An opened mid-pandemic, but they've quickly grown in popularity in the neighborhood. They're fully vegetarian with many vegan options, and serve a mix of Vietnamese and Western breakfast plates. Great if you want a healthy start to the day!
Try: Banh Mi VN Sandwich (not in traditional bread, but made with amazing seitan)
Hufelandstraße 20
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.
Try: Grilled Cheese, ‘Feta’ Croissant
Käthe-Niederkirchner-Straße 10 | Prenzlauer Berg
Plant Base
Plant Base is a great brunch place for vegans and conscious eaters in P'Berg. From their carrot 'salmon' to their tofu 'egg' scramble everything here is creative, flavorful, and of course plant based.
Try: Breakfast Bagel, Tofu Scramble
Prenzlauer Allee 208
Still on my list:
Le Belfort
This sweet little French café has become quite a well-known spot in a relatively short amount of time. I have not yet visited, but I hope to very soon. Their Croque Monsieur and Eggs en Cocotte look dreamy, and the reviews are incredibly high. I’ll probably end up ordering the Le Terrifortain or ‘Big Brunch Plate’ to try a little bit of everything.
November Brasserie
November is another spot that seems to have gotten popular quick. Their fanciful Asian fusion brunch menu includes dishes like Japanese omelettes, chicken sandos, and ricotta pancakes. I’m looking forward to visiting.
Estelle Dining
The food here looks hearty and fresh, and the setting looks lovely. Can’t wait to visit!
Love At First Bite
This cutesy spot is all the rage online, I’ll have to try it for myself soon!
Benedict
Benedict definitely seems like more of a "treat yourself" kind of place. Many of their plates are between €15-€22, bur I’ve heard such wonderful things about their Eggs Benedict and pancake plates. Their first restaurant is located in Charlottenburg.
