Lecker und angenehme Atmosphäre!

Das Vegan Delight sieht auf den ersten Blick recht wenig aus, aber nach dem Porridge am Ende war ich sehr satt!
Der Seitan/Tofu Aufschnitt ist echt lecker und würzig.

Angenehm ruhig, leise Yoga Musik im Hintergrund!

Guter Frühstücks-Spot

Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und spätestens der Porridge war ordentlich sättigend. Die vegane Wurst war wirklich gut! Das Café hat eine tolle Stimmung und alle Kellner*innen waren wahnsinnig lieb :)

Good eclectic selection of food

Includes some Indian, some Middle Eastern, and some European dishes. Some cakes and coffee drinks. Vegan options are clearly labeled but I would have given them 5 stars if the restaurant was fully vegan

Leckeres Frühstück

Das gesamte Restaurant war auf Spiritualität ausgelegt, was uns ein wenig gestört hat… Trotzdem war die Auswahl an veganen und vegetarischen Frückstücken groß und die einzelnen Sachen sehr lecker! Für den Preis eher kleine Portionen, trotzdem zu empfehlen😄

Great tasting cakes and Matcha Latte

Loved this place as it had gluten-free and refined sugar-free cakes with a great and relaxing vibe. Win win 😂

Cult-ish & Ant problem

Be aware that this restaurant supports what some consider a cult - and it definitely shows! It's not subtle, the whole place and staff give off the vibe.
I thought it'd be less obvious and wanted to try the food - also there were not many breakfast options at the time of day. The food here was okay, but nothing to write home about.
However, there were some ants on and around my table by the window. I pointed this out to a staff member, who kindof brushed it off, saying they had an ant problem once a year and so far had never been able to fix it, despite traps and all.
I think this reaction was worse to me than the actual fact.
Either way, I would not have returned anyways, because the religious vibe definitely made me uneasy already.

Pros: Healthy options, Quick preparation of food

Cons: Religious vibe, Ant problem

Sehr lecker

Sehr lecker gewesen und auch eine gute Auswahl an veganen Speisen. Vielleicht ein schnuff zu teuer, aber ansonsten alles top. Mich persönlich spricht das Ambiente nicht so an, da mir da etwas die Gemütlichkeit gefehlt hat. Aber man kann sowohl innen als auch draußen sitzen.

Pros: Großes veganes Angebot , Viele Sitzmöglichkeiten (innen wie außen), Sehr lecker

Cons: Etwas teurer

Clean, bright and welcoming cafe.

The warm ginger tonic was just what I needed for a sore throat.

Leckere Kuchen und anderes

Es gibt sehr viele vegane Optionen. Die Kuchen sind super lecker. Capuccino mit Hafermilch gibt es für einen kleinen Aufschlag. Das Lokal ist sehr spirituell eingerichtet, es wirkt fast schon sektenartig. Aber hat mich beim essen nicht weiter gestört.

Pros: Viele vegane Speisen, Super Kuchen, Nettes Personal

Why is no one talking about how this is a cult

Strange place with some weird vibes worshipping some guru but the best porridge I’ve ever had so make of that what you will

Many options

We had breakfast here and it was good, in a cosy and friendly atmosphere. I didn't expect much from the porridge, but it was just the right sweetness. A great start of the day!

Pros: Many options

Ok

I didn't get the friendly staff or atmosphere that has been reviewed. There are lots of vegan options, I had the tofu ciabatta that was fine. I was unfortunately expecting a lot more from the reviews so this maybe led to the disappointment.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Only ok for the price

...joy

Good food, lots of vegan options and fresh juices served by overly friendly staff in a calm peaceful atmosphere.
What might need to be noted is that they do use "vegan substitutes" to create classical dishes e.g. "Salami"sandwich or for German breakfast with "cheese" and "sausage style ham/Wurstaufschnitt".

leckere Gerichte, große Portionen

Die Portionen sind relativ groß, geschmacklich war alles sehr lecker. Vor- und Hauptspeisen kamen alle gleichzeitig, weshalb es am Tisch etwas eng wurde. Das Personal ist aber sehr freundlich & zuvorkommend. Eine Vitrine mit diversen Kuchen lädt zum Dessert ein - der rote Cashew-Rohkostkuchen ist sehr zu empfehlen.
