Naughty food! - Edit
A previous reviewer made reference to the fact that sometimes you just want a big, greasy burger. With this in mind, we headed to Yellow Sunshine as soon as we arrived for our holiday in Berlin, hoping for some decent food to settle our travel tummies. We were not disappointed. Very much a fast-food restaurant, with prices to match, you place your oder and then wait for your number to be called. I had the veggie schnitzel meal with (tons of) fries and my partner had a 'bacon' cheeseburger, also with a massive portion of fries. Soooooo good! Great comfort food and a nice welcome to Berlin. We went back a few days later for the currywurst & fries, so tasy and naughty. Very relaxed vibe, cheap, and total non-diet food. Just what you want on holiday!

One of the better fast food places. - Edit
Berlin has a lot of vegan friendly fast food (mostly burger) places and out of all the ones I tried I liked this one the most. As suggested by the server I ordered the Lappland Cheeseburger. It was REALLY good but would have been better without the cheese. Overall the food was really good, cheap, received quickly, good location, and the location itself was nicer than the other vegan fast food places. I would certainly go to Yellow Sunshine again.

really yummy burgers! - Edit
I was a bit nervous to try Yellow Sunshine since I had read it's mostly a burger place. I wasn't a burger fan before I went veg and I'm not into veggie burgers at all. However, I decided to give this place a chance. I got the chicken cheese burger and it was sooo good!!! Not like the kind of burgers I'm used to at all, it was just really good and tasty! Also, got a side of french fries which were nice & crispy, and got a chai latte which was very yummy!! Came back a few days later to try the black forest cake and that was really good too. Really liked this place!

Veggie Fast Food - Edit
As a veggie you sometimes miss pigging out and having a huge greasy burger and chips. Yellow Sunshine fills that gap brilliantly (the gap in your tummy).

"fast" food? - Edit
5 stars for Yellow Sunshine because the food is yummy, it's cheap as hell, and the staff is friendly. My one and only complaint (-1 star) is that I wish it didn't take forever to get my food. The first time I went was on a Tuesday at 9:15PM. The second time was Sunday around 10PM. The concept of "fast food" here seems a bit of a misnomer. Both times I waited over 20 minutes for my food (first time I ordered the gyro plate, second time just a plain burger thinking it would be faster!); they seem to short staff even when busy... They should consider changing their tagline of "bio fast food" to "bio food" or "bio veg burgers."

Nice Vegetarian Fast Food - Edit
Extensive burger menu and a few other items (nuggets, wurst, etc.). Nice to eat a place that is all vegetarian. Normally, I don't even like to get fries/chips anywhere because I'm afraid they fry them in the same oil as the meat. Not a problem here. In any case, the burger I had was above average. The nuggets were just okay. The wurst was good, but the sauce was essentially ketchup with some curry powder. Prices are downright cheap, especially given the overall food quality. We'll certainly return if back in Berlin.

vegan fast food - Edit
they are pretty honest about it being vegan/veggie fast food. I tried the 'chiken' vegan burger and it was pretty good. the price was reasonable and the service friendly and quick. I would eat here again.

third out of 3 - Edit
as berlin now has pretty much 3 identical "fast food" restaurants, this was the last one we tried. the yoyo and the vego are vegan so they were first. the nuggets were ages away from the ones at vego. they were heavily fried so they were too crispy and the sweet chili sauce with it was horribly. the lappland burger (a marinated soy schnitzel) was ok but the schnitzel could have had bit more spices/taste.the fries didnt taste like fresh out of the fat. the staff was friendly but most of the empty tables were not clean.
Read moreCons: dirty tables, something wrong with the fries

good vegan fast food - Edit
not the healthiest vegan food that's for sure but it was sure tasty! i came here a couple times while in berlin. i had one of their burgers the first time and a chicken sandwich the second time both with fries. i also got a side order of something but forgot what it was but i did like it. they have a decent size menu for a fast food joint.

A happy vegan in Kreuzberg - Edit
Berlin - 19 December 2009. Early evening and around 15 degrees below zero. Imagine my joy as I step from the snowy street into a comfortable cafe where I have not only a choice of food but lots of choices! Including desserts!!
Read moreA few minutes' walk from Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn station, Yellow Sunshine is a counter-service cafe serving traditional German and other 'fast' food with a twist - the twist being that it's all vegetarian and far from unhealthy. Vegan items abound and are clearly marked - there's a seitan version of the classic Berliner currywurst and even tiramisu! There's a choice of burgers for both vegans and vegetarians, as well as fresh salads and drinks. The pommes/chips/fries are cooked in-house from real potatoes and there are plenty of organic ingredients.
The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant, warm, clean and relaxed with tables arranged for a decent number of diners from couples to larger groups.
You make your choice and pay at the counter, and when your food's ready they'll call your number - easy :>
Pros: Large vegan choice, Substantial portions, Good value
Cons: Steps up to door

A veggie / vegan Burger King... - Edit
Ok, first off, it's great that any veggies / vegans have a place like this to satisfy their urges for nasty fast food. But having said that, I was disappointed with the overall quality of the food: it's regular junk food, much like what you'd get at a McD's or BK (which to me can be very satisfying if you're drunk or starving but otherwise nothing special).
Read moreI've eaten veggie burgers at other places in Berlin (there's one near Boxhagener platz in Friedrichshain - can't remember the name - that does great quality) and had a better experience but there is nowhere that has such a variety of options on offer.
If you want real fast food then Yellow Sunshine is your man. If you want high quality veggie food then look elsewhere.
Pros: Large and varied menu, Real fast food on demand, Does exactly what it says on the tin
Cons: Not good quality, Somewhat expensive for what it is, vampires living in the rafters

loved it! - Edit
mmm, this place is tasty! i tried the fakin' fish burger, which was deelish, and my boyfriend got the currywurst so that i would know what currywurst tasted like, and i shattered his heart by not liking it haha poor thing. but then again i don't like ketchup, and currywurst is bathing in ketchup. the fries were quite amazing. for those wishing that there were "healthier" options, this is a burger place people. the healthiest thing would be to stop obsessing about calories and fat 24/7. obviously eating greasy food EVERDAY is not healthy, but c'mon, it's one meal and there's no trickery about what's on the menu.

Filling, the addition of salad adds healthiness. - Edit
Only a short stroll from Gorlitzer Bhf on the U1, they do a really great range of veggie and vegan burgers, fries, and salad. The vegan options are clearly stated. Quick fast food, the menu chalked up on the board on the wall (behind the counter). They'll give you a coupon/receipt with your order number, calling this out when it's ready - usually in German, but also if need be in English.
Read moreThey also do take-outs as well. Plus great value, you shouldn't be spending more than six or seven euro for any one of several burgers and fries. While in Berlin recently I tried the fakin "fish" burger, and the double Hawaii "chicken" burger - both wrapped up in a bap. The double was especially good value.
The kitchen itself appears quite small, and if you're going in large groups you might find your various orders come through consecutively, ie. in stages, but the portions are so generous you won't be finishing your meal any time before the rest of your group.
The decor is warm and earthy, and in my view resembles a pizzeria, with seating at pavement level complementing the indoors tables a few steps up from the walkway. If you drink they also sell beer - including some German ones.
Pros: Quick., Extended opening hours., Great range.
Cons: If you loathe fried food.

Faux Meat Lovers - Edit
Don't knock this place, Yes, if you want fast 100% vegetarian food, a bit of grease, some fries and something verging on unhealthy but amazingly tasty then this is the place for you. This is the ultimate veggie fast food paradise where you can get burgers, sausages, steaks, hot dogs and schnitzels all completely animal free. Not the place to go if you're not a fan of emulation or faux meats. Enjoy, enjoy & enjoy the fast food experience of a vegetarian lifetime. Have a beer if it takes you and watch the Kreuzbergers go by their business on the street below. Go there, eat there and buy the T-shirt (Seriously, I did - Vegetarian Diner with rear logo for 12 EUR). I have been here so many times since 2004 and will always visit when in Berlin.

Worth the trip - Edit
Yellow Sunshine might be out of the way for most visitors to Berlin, but IMHO it's worth the trip. Set in a strip of local eateries and bars popular with the younger crowd, it has a very casual atmosphere with both indoor & outdoor seating. English spoken. Tasty vegetarian comfort food with several vegan options and fresh organic juices.
Read moreTo reach by public transport: From the Görlitzer Bahnhof station, walk southeast on Wienerstrasse for almost a block. It's on the right.
Note: it's in the same neighborhood as Veni Vidi Vegi vegan shop (see the shop's entry on the main Berlin page).
Pros: Tasty vegan grub, Reasonable prices, Lively setting

Yellow Sunshine Fast Food - Edit
Location: This is a very, very popular joint in Kreuzberg, and is located right next to the famous "Wild at Heart" Rock club.
Read moreThe Menu: As a vegan you're pretty much looking at a fast food joint, which is not necessarily bad, one just wishes for less fatty options. Personally I found the Seitan Burger way to dry and tasteless. But hey, the good side is I loved the "Pepperman-Cheeze" burger, and that's why I went back! Also: the "Fakin' Fish" is a huge hit with me as well as any carnivores I have lunched with while there.
Tip: Get away from the burgers and try the "Giros Plate" Which has a very convincing Greek tatziki sauce. Also: Soy Chai and Soy Coffee drinks, Blended Fruit drinks, and Bio Beer are also offered.
Sweets: The Muffins are nothing special, but on a recent visit on April 4th, 2008 they had Vegan Tiramisu.
Staff: Very friendly, Students, Alternatives, Punkers.
Atmosphere: Hippie type music (lol!), nice bright, hence "Sunshine"
Pros: Convienient, Bio-Trendy, Fast Food
Cons: Fast Food, Calories, Fatty

Good, greasy fast-food - Edit
I visited in Nov. '07 and May '08. Good, greasy fast-food. If you're craving a veggieburger and fries, this is the spot! I never order anything deep-fried from non-veg restaurants because you can never know what else is going in deep fryer or what kind of oil they use, so this place was a real treat for me. Try the yummy remoulade sauce. The plain wurst was a little bland with a side of potato salad; next time I'd try the currywurst with an interesting sauce. No problems ordering in English, but you need to listen for them to call out your food when it's ready for pick-up.

This is a good choice, if you're on the way to a show or party or just want to get something fast which is not Döner. It's overrated in my eyes, but everybody just seems to love this place. Anyways it's good to have it right around the corner ;-)

ich fands nicht wirklich gut!! - Edit
ich hatte einen double chicken cheese burger und pommes dazu.leider gab es keinen veganen käse auch nicht 2 tage später als ich wieder da war und die pommes lagen wohl schon einige stunden.das personal hat sich aber nicht wirklich daran gestört und sowas darf meiner meinung nach nicht passieren.zumindest nicht 2 tage in folge.ansonsten kann ich der karte nichts abgewinnen als dessert gibt es alpro pudding in der plaste verpackung also alles andere als innovativ es sollte zwar ein tiramisu laut karte geben aber das war wohl erst 4-5 stunden später fertig trotz der tatsache das ich abends um 8 da essen war.trotz der vielen guten reviews die man liesst und was man imemrwieder hört finde ich es im yellow sunshine nichtmal mittelmass..leider..
