vegan fast food - Edit
Fast food veganized. I had Mäc Wheaty Burger, €4.20, a big hunk of seitan (I think) in a sesame bun with sliced dill pickle, tomato, onion, shredded lettuce, mustard, ketchup. They also have vegan cheese burgers, fries, salad and desserts, including a vegan tiramisu for €3.50. Several vegan burgers, “fish” burger, etc.

Friendly fast food - Edit
Yellow Sunshine was the first veggie vegan place I found in Berlin years ago and I'll always remember being so grateful back then to find a place that did vegan grub! Now its surrounded by all vegan alternatives it seems less important but it's still good for burgers and chips and such stuff. Its not all vegan and sometimes they inexplicably can't do smoothies or don't have cake available but its relaxed and friendly and in good weather there are benches outside to watch the Kreuzberg life go by from whilst one munches away!
Read morePros: legendary !, cheap and quick, Easy to find
Cons: limited desert options, Not all vegan

Excellent fast food - Edit
Really excellent vegan fast food. The vegan menu is clearly marked and available in German and English. Lots of organic food and drinks. Has an alternative vibe, with a variety of music playing, and no usual fast food uniforms or appearance restrictions.

Tasty food, friendly & efficient staff, good beer! - Edit
Very tasty veggie burger and lovely salad to go with it. Definitely pay this place a visit if you're a hungry veggie in Berlin. I walked a few kilometres to get there, and I can say it was definitely worthwhile. Really nice organic beer too - highly recommended. Will be going back next time I'm here.

So simple - Edit
I visited Yellow Sunshine the last time I was in Berlin, so while I was back in Berlin with my brother last week, I went twice. It's such a simple but effective idea, junk food for Veggies! I get fed up with over complicated, overpriced vegetarian restaurants that think we all want to eat raw food. This place just gives you substantial food, fast & not expensive. Well done on creating a place based on such a simple idea. When in Berlin I will always go back. They have a sister restaurant based on Italian food but I didn't visit.

Decent food, quick - Edit
This place is nothing special, but the food is decent and quick. If you're on the go, they'll have you out the door pretty quickly.
Read moreThe menu is clearly labeled, with all items on the left being vegetarian and all items on the right being vegan.
This is your typical bugers, fries, mock-chicken sandwiches type place. It's not the best I've ever had, but it was cheap, filling and enjoyable.
Pros: All-vegetarian, Clearly labeled
Cons: Nothing special

There are much better fast food places in Berlin - Edit
I've regularly been to Yellow Sunshine about 2-3 times a year over the last years, which has much to do with the convenient location. The food quality is hit and miss. They frequently undercook/underfry their faux meats. My last two dinner and lunch experiences there were really bad. Last time, even though (being warned by previous visits) we specifically asked for our gyros and "chicken" burger to be well done, both were not well done, but rather soft and clearly underfried. The "chicken" patty also had a strange taste/smell, almost like artifical almond flavoring. I guess we should have returned the food or have asked for it to be redone, but then you don't want to complain all the time, and we were hungry. Big mistake. The food was not only unpleasant to eat, but also gave us upset stomachs for the rest of the day and on the next day. I honestly have a very robust stomach.
Read moreThe side salads are rather bland, do not expect anything more than some lettuce/romana salad, some carrots which were grated a few hours ago, onion rings and some sprouts on top. Then again, this is a fast food placed after all, so one shouldn't be unfair and expect a gourmet salad.
If you want vegetarian/vegan fast food in Berlin, I would definitely recommend going to Vego Food World, which is much better quality. If you're looking for an alternative in the Wiener Straße vicinity, try "Rootz" - who have nice burgers, but often close around 7:30 pm though.

Overpriced and full of poseurs - Edit
I was left standing 45 minutes for my "fast" food while the two dizzy girls behind the counter moved in slow motion and talked constantly. They couldn't have been any less interested in work. The fries were absolutely PICKLED in salt, and the burger was mediocre. There are better veggie options within 200 yards of this poseur-trap.

Pros: Um, they claim to sell food.
Cons: They do it. Very very verrrrrrrrrrry slowly.

VEGAN CURRYWURST KLAXON - Edit
Yeah, there's a side salad on the menu, but everyone comes here for the fast food. Salty fries, vegan bratwurst slathered in curry-spiked ketchup, veggie burgers and an awesome selection of organic fizzy drinks. Not the healthiest of lunches, and Berlin is really not lacking veggie burgers at all, but the currywurst was awesome.

Vegan Fastfood - Edit
This place is awesome!
Read moreWe have been here many times, and when in Berlin, will definitely visit it again. Many choice,vegetarian and vegan. They also have vegan desserts and a good choice in drinks. Service is not always fast (because it's always crowded) but this place is still one of my favourites.
You should really give it a try.
Pros: Lots of vegan choice, Friendly staff/good english, Greatlocation
Cons: Service is not always fast, Only fastfood, No soups anymore

It's not really hard to get vegetarian fast food - Edit
It's not really hard to get (at least) vegetarian fast food in Berlin, so a place like this doesn't feel as special and great as it would in most other cities. But sure, it's a decent place.

Good, honest veg*n fast food - Edit
Located in the trendy district of Kreuzberg, this is a great place to go for fast food. You can eat inside, take your food to one of the tables outside or even have it to take away and go sit in the nearby Görlitzer park (across the road) if the weather's nice.
Read moreThey have fast food including veg*n versions of regional classics (e.g. Currywurst), burgers, and chips/fries. The food board is clearly split into vegetarian and vegan options and they do a meal deal including burger and chips or burger, chips, and salad. They usually also have one or two cakes if you fancy something sweet and the fridges are full of soft drinks and various beers.
The orders work on a ticket system where you order and pay and then wait to be called once your food is ready, so don't expect the same kind of service as in a restaurant.
The prices are higher than many other fast food places in the city but I personally think it's worth the extra, especially as everything is organic.
Pros: Organic, Vegan options clearly marked, Good location
Cons: A little pricey (but worth it)

NOT vegan-friendly at all - Edit
the worst customer service I have seen in any country - though I would never thought it would be at a vegetarian restaurant.
Read moreI came with my sister who was there for the first time. We both are vegans. Since I've been at this place before I ordered double chicken cheeseburger right away and showed my sister the right part of the menu where the vegan burgers were listed. She gave it a thought and then ordered 'chicken cheeseburger' pointing at the vegan burgers list (Since she ordered in English, she also pointed at the item she wanted on the menu). Of course she didn't know that 'double chicken cheesburger' is vegan and just 'chicken cheeseburger' is not vegan - the customers don't have to learn their menu by heart. She also asked if their cupcakes were vegan.
Anyway, we got 2 different burgers and saw that one of them is vegetarian, that's when I asked her what exactly she ordered - and we realise there must have been a misunderstanding.
She didn't touch the burger and took it back to the counter saying that she's sorry, but she meant the vegan chicken burger. They took the burger back and said "But you didn't say double - it's not our fault". She asked them to make her a vegan burger instead since she paid anyway but they refused repeating "you should have said "double"! She didn't want to argue and came back outside to me telling me what just happened and I decided to stick up for her - but there was no witnesses inside the cafe (everyone was eating outside) and there were 2 girls at the counter who kept telling me it's her fault and that they won't return the money or make her another burger. When I said why do we have to pay for a burger we didn't eat - one of them said a legendary phrase "I saw you wanted to pay with your credit card, so I know you have money for another burger!"
Pros: tasty
Cons: not vegan-friendly, staff is rude

My guess is there's better - Edit
Very scrum-didlium-ptious fast food joint. Satisfies all the bad cravings I have for vegan junk food. I had a breaded soya steak burger. It was pretty tasty, but I wish the patty were a little firmer and less spongy. I also had a slice of black forest cake that wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. It looked really good, but tasted too much like palm oil and sugar...hmm. Try some of the organic sodas. They have lychee and rhubarb flavours.

I liked this place in a lot of ways. The staff was friendly, the clientele was extremely diverse, plenty of seating, large menu. The menu is in German and English, and vegan items are pretty clearly marked. I got the vegan currywurst and it gigantic and surrounded by tons of french fries, which all turned out to be tasty. I'm not super into fried fast food, but I'd eat here again.

Usually food takes too long - Edit
The burgers are very tasty, but you need to be patient because they usually take too long (I would not go there if I was in a hurry). The vegetarian nuggets are extremely oily and taste like pure fat. The french fries are just bad, pure oil. I recommend the burgers though, very tasty.
