RIP

In addition to stopping by a week before, I went on their last day (2024-08-29). Most of their menu was no longer available, and they were liquidating some raw ingredients (e.g., kala namak, nooch). Their books were all 25% off, too, so I picked up a copy of “How to Create a Vegan World” by Tobias Leenaert, which I’ve been meaning to read. It seemed like a great third place while it lasted. I’m not sure why they are closing, but I wish the staff all the best!

Ok, but not amazing

My hubby took the scrambled tofu and it was so salt it was almost uneatable. I had the golden porridge, which did taste great but had no milk (I know there are different traditions for with or without, I’m definitely team with milk). Cakes did not taste of much. Glad we had the chance to try before they closed, but I would not have made a return visit.

Pros: Good porridge, Nice space, Clean bathroom

Cons: Very salty food, Cakes did not taste that much

More than a cafe (but the food is good, too!)

Was fun while it lasted. Plant Base is closing on August 29, 2024, and I took the chance to have a last breakfast there with a friend: the plate for two, with divine tofu scramble, three kinds of dips, kimchi, feta, a granola. The weather was beautiful and as always we sat outdoors. I also bought their cookbook —„Vegan Curious“— a colourful collection of recipes with detailed instructions. The creators will continue organising events, but the location will see a new vegan restaurant soon.

Pros: Delicious cakes, Nice service, Cute interior and shop

Cons: Closing for good

Ganz ok

Der Laden ist eigentlich ganz ok. Die Kuchen/Torten sind wirklich über alles erhaben. Das Frühstück ist sehr inspiriert und eher fade. Die Preise sind sehr hoch (Prenzlauer Berg halt), was die Hipster hier ja nicht weiter stört. Nicht schlecht, nicht geil. Einfach ok-yer laden.

Pros: Kuchen, Mengen, Breites Sortiment

Cons: Preise, Frühstück, Ambiente

Pros: Tolles Angebot , Super Preis , Lecker

Breakfast

Classic breakfast vegan way, and original 'teas'. I liked the scrambled tofu and the chili tea was a good surprise.
Then an appel 'brotchen' to start the day.

Pros: Choice, Price, Staff

Cons: No green or black tea except matcha and earl grey

Loved this place

My vegan caprese croissant was out of this world, I never had a good experience eating vegan mozzarella but this one was simply amazing. Their rose cardamom latte was also delicious. I didn’t find the prices to be too excessive given the quality and the location! Definitely would recommend it!

The most vegan place I've ever been to

This is the most vegan place I've ever been to! Well, what does that mean? Some places just don't use animal products in their dishes, but this is an actual hub for veganism. They put information all over the restaurant about how to get involved in vegan trivia night, vegan dating nights, vegan team building events, vegan book clubs. They hold vegan cheese making workshops, kimchi workshops, polish dumpling workshops, cocktail workshops, latte art and barista workshops, and so much more.

They sell books about veganism, too. Including cookbooks. In the bathroom, there are handouts about animal rights and vegan Sundays hosted by green market berlin.

Also, the breakfast plate and soup were amazing, that goes without saying. They even sell their dips, spice mixes, and elements from their dishes, like the bacon chips and granola.

Amazing breakfast and place

Everything is perfect at Plant base. The food is incredible as is the spirit of that beautifull place. They organise a lot of vegan events from cooking workshops to dating nights.
Portions are generous, price is good, staff are great. The plate for 2 is incredible!

Vollkommen begeistert 💚

Dieses Café hatte all meine Erwartungen übertroffen 💚

Der Karottenlachs-Bagel ist ein Traum, die Kaffeespezialitäten genau wie man sie braucht und der Kuchen war saftig und jeden Cent wert. 💚

Pros: Köstliche Angebote, Workshops, Sauber, ordentlich, gemütlich

You've got to like coconut...

very tasty but with so many amazing reviews I had honestly expected to be more impressed. The tofu scramble was nice, but a bit salty; the bread slightly dry; the spreads were very nice; the carrot cake enjoyable but far from the best I've had (the frosting was sort of weirdly gooey in consistency and super sweet and the cake on the dry side); coffee was very good but not exceptional. Space is pleasant and lightful and the staff nice. I'd be curious to try the platters and the porridge sometime.

(edit after trying the breakfast plate/granola)--I really want to like this place but...the food is fine, it just tastes like it's obviously vegan, if that makes sense, which in 2024 is something one shouldn't really notice so evidently at a fully vegan cafe in a city like Berlin.

Plate for two, all time favorite

For me one of the best breakfasts in Berlin. I really like it there. Cozy, lots of plants, nice service, super delicious food. The Plate for 2 in particular is super good, a bit of everything. There's just always not enough bread for the great spread and scrambled tofu. A very small drawback, as it is easy to reorder. ;)

El tofu revuelto

El Plant Base es un lugar muy cálido y cómodo. Eso invita a sentarte y pedir un brunch para tomar con tiempo. El tofu revuelto está muy bueno y además es un plato muy bien servido. Tienen una carta amplia y variedad de tartas 🌱

Breakfast Must in Berlin

Everytime I visit Berlin this is a Must-See. Totally vegan. Breakfast Platter is so good, I really love the kimchi and the vegan carrot salmon. Seasonal drinks are also very good. Stuff is lovely and the atmosphere really cozy. Check out there Cookbook.
