AtayaCaffe

I’ve read so many good reviews and seen such great pics about Ataya Caffe that I told myself I’ll have to try this out, though I am not a veggie or even vegan.

So I made a reservation for the green breakfast buffet and visited this café with my hubby who wasn’t very much delighted when hearing that we’ll have a vegan brunch! But he said nothing in order to please me and just went along.

When I opened the door to this café, my first thought was “OMG, it really looks like a living room” and instantly felt like home. The owner, an Italian lady, welcomed us with a huge smile, which made me feel even more comfy. The buffet was fab! I tried all dishes and liked every dish – most of all the samosas with a superb filling. I have to confess that I didn’t think of meat at all during this 1,5 hour – which is not typically me! My other half even said that it was good. Everything was fresh and of very high quality. The baked tomatoes where full of flavour and tasted like those I grow in my garden.

I absolutely recommend it!

Ho pranzato da Atayacaffe con dei clienti. Ho preso una specialità del giorno, un couscous senegalese, favoloso! Gli ingredienti sono freschi e genuini e si capisce che è fatto tutto con amore. Molto consigliato!

AtayaCaffe has a very cosy, authentic, and family-friendly vibe about it, with an assortment of mismatched seating, a play area, and good wifi.

In terms of the menu there was a very large variety of hot drinks and nice teas, and a daily changing lunch menu. They also have Italian homemade large biscuit-type things and a fridge of homemade cakes (only some of which are vegan).

On top of the changing menu which included things like ravioli, they have sandwiches that are always available, in bagels, ciabatta, or an Italian bread.

While what I got was nice (a sandwich and a biscuit), I think it was slightly expensive for what you got. I also found the menu disappointingly limited - everything was bread or pasta and there weren't really salads or soups or something not so heavily carb-y. That's just personal preference, but it does mean that I am unlikely to go all the way to north p-berg for a sandwich.

The man at the counter who I think was the (co?) owner was very nice.

Vor einigen Wochen war ich zum veganen Brunch im AtayaCaffe und muss sagen, dass ich wirklich begeistert war. Schönes Ambiente, freundliche Kellner, fantastisches Essen! Alles hat gestimmt! Immer wieder gerne!

Chiunque si trovi o si troverà a Berlino vada a mangiare ad AtayaCaffe.
Non solo gli ingredienti sono tutto di prima qualità, non solo l'ambiente è bello, accogliente e confortevole, ma mangiare diventa un'esperienza che riesce a rendere felici corpo e anima.
Grazie

Best vegan Sunday brunch in town.
The Afro-Italian inspired buffet it's amazing. Really cosy place.Great staff. Highly recommended!

One of the best restaurants vegans I have ever tasted! Super Friendly and so delicious :-)

Not much else to say I am afraid, as the title tells it all. If just wish I lived closer to Ataya to enjoy more often this awesome Afro-Italian fusion cuisine.
If there's really something I should complain about it's the crowd - on a Sunday brunch there was barely space to move, but I guess it comes along with the place being exceptional ;)

Just fantastic! Friendly staff, really good atmosphere and the food was incredibile, original and the best fusion between the african and the italian tradition that I could Imagine. I REALLY wouldn't stop to eat and I suggest to try their amazing and high-quality brunch. Also the prices are REALLY low for what you eat. Veganismo, vegetariana, ominvor? That do not matters: you will love Ataya-Cafè and his lovely staff.

So close to me!
She is from Sardinia, he is from Senegal, the result is simply amazing! Wonderful Italian dishes, but with a hint of Africa, or African cuisine with the smell of Sardinia. Excellent vegan cakes, and, of course, Italian coffee,a must in Berlin. And you want to know the most interesting thing? I have just to cross the street!

AtayaCaffe e' un luogo speciale in cui ogni dettaglio è curato per far sentire l'ospite a casa propria.
Si possono gustare piatti della cucina senegalese e italiana ,tutti in chiace rigorosamente vegana.
Una menzione speciale al Brunch africano/vengano che si tiene ogni seconda domenica del mese.

Ataya caffè ist ein super gemütlichen Restaurants/Cafè wo man frisch zubereiteten und große Portionen bekommt . Die Küche ist sowohl Italienisch (Sardinien) als auch aus Senegal, und hat jeden Tag frisch zubereitet und neue Gerichte . Ich liebe es und fühle mich in diesen Ort wie in einen Wohnzimmer. Heute habe ich veganen ravioli tris gegessen und hummus Teller und eine vegane heiße Schokolade genossen. So lecker und frisch und liebevoll vegan habe ich bisher in berlin noch nicht gegessen.Grosse Portionen! Auch der Brunch ist absolut zu empfehlen. Die Gastgeber sind total nett und freundlich und man möchte am liebsten den ganzen Tag dort verweilen. Kinderecke ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet . Das ganze Ambiente lädt zum Verweilen auf . Total empfehlenswert auch zum Arbeiten- Meeting - Frühstück -quatschten

This very unique and lovely vegetarian/vegan place in Zelter Str. is a true little gem. The Italian-African fusion food is mouthwatering and full of flavour, the atmosphere super laid back and inviting, and the owners very charming. A perfect place for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or anytime in between when you're in need of a good Italian coffee and a delicious snack.

AtayaCaffe is like Berlin: diverse and eclectic in surprising ways, as you may have guessed from mixing African and Italian cuisines. Their vegan Sunday buffet brunch was excellent: Just the right amount of (mostly warm) dishes, with root veggies in creamy peanut sauces, garlic bread and garlic sauteed eggplant or kale, falafel, pastas, and other tasty surprises you won't find in any other Berlin vegan brunch. The decor is casual and cozy, and the hosts are friendly. If you're lucky, you'll hear one of them practicing guitar too. Will definitely be eating there again soon!
