Fair trade coffee and tea, waffles, meal of the day, sandwiches, falafel, and other food. Co-working brunch Mondays 10.00-15.00. Ten seats inside, eight outside. Reported closed to HappyCow.
I tried to eat @ York 52 three (!) times, but was send away each time, because the staff was still trying to get organized or whatever. When I asked to use the bathroom before having to leave, I had a glimpse at the kitchen. And damn, I have never seen a kitchen look like a bigger mess than this. Turns out I got lucky to get sent away three times. And I will never come back.
A great and welcoming place! I had a really tasty vegan breakfast there and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The other menu options also sounded great, but I was already too full to try anything else. But next time I'm in Berlin, I will go there again! :-)
Contrary to what the previous reviewer said, I found that the cafe actually was cosy, decorated with lots of pillows and so forth. However, I agree that the portions are small for the price and there does not seem to be any actual cooking in the kitchen. By that I mean pretty much everything served is something one could buy oneself-- i.e., hot chocolate mix, store-bought muesli, those vegan tofu slices that are available in every health store. Yet the prices are way overpriced-- for example, a SMALL cup of tea costs almost 2 euros, but all it is is boiled water and a tea bag! Overall, I appreciate their trying to be green and the all-vegan menu, but the food selection and preparation was unimpressive. (P.S.: They do speak fluent English if you consider that appealing.)
