Opened May 2015, a small lunchtime kombucha cafe serving vegetarian entrees, sandwiches, salads, dessert, and a daily soup. Menu changes often. No egg or soy products. Makes unpasteurized kombucha onsite. Removed Jan 2019 - no longer serves food.

healthy, fermented beverages and food!! - Edit
Are you searching for a place to get healthy bacteria in your stomach? Bärbucha is a fantastic option for anyone searching for healthy, fermented beverages and food. Everything here is fermented, organic, and unpasteurized. It is the first place in Berlin to produce Kombucha. Kombucha is produced by fermenting tea using a culture of bacteria and yeast (Scoby). At the Café, they have the biggest selection of Kombucha in Berlin. Some are available only at the Café. Others are distributed within the city. They even have Kombucha made out of some medicinal plants like Jiaogulan, Schisandra, and Chaga X.
Read moreBärbucha also offers workshops for anyone interested in learning about fermenting beverages, food, and even products such as face cream! The owners have a lot of knowledge and experience with fermentation. In a short time talking with them, we learned a lot about fermentation. They focus on quality over quantity. Everything is vegan except kefir and some Kombuchas are sweetened with honey. Lunch consisting of one or two vegetarian/vegan items is currently offered. But in the future, there will be less emphasis on a lunch menu and more energy put into fermenting Kombucha, vegetables, and other fermented products. We had a probiotic salad with fermented carrots, beetroot, and peppers, raw spinach, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, cooked green chickpeas and Basmati rice, grilled zucchini, and olive oil. We also had a mushroom named “Chicken of the woods” (Schwefelporling) that definitely has the consistency of chicken and had a mouth-watering flavour of a tomato-based sauce. Additionally, we tried a 6 month old Kimchi (7 euros per jar).

Delicious healthy food! - Edit
The menu here is small, as in a salad, a sandwich, and a few accompaniments. It's also a bit pricey compared the the average Berlin lunch - however, it is also much higher quality than the average Berlin lunch. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food is fantastic, and the portions are quite large (I was barely able finish the salad). Don't miss the housemade kombucha and fermented vegetables, which are not only delicious but very healthy.
