Tanne B, Berlin Germany

When we first visited Berlin in 2010 we went to Tanne B for ice cream and it was at the time the best ice cream I have ever had. They had a soy chocolate that was just amazing. The best ice cream I had had vegan or non. Recently in Stogo in New York might claim that title (probably because they have super fun flavors), but this would be a close second. We stopped by and unfortunately they did not have soy chocolate that day which was a little bit sad. They did have hazelnut and Raymond wanted to try it so I said okay even though I wasn't expecting it to be very good. I mean hazelnut...sure but it is not going to be great and the best thing ever. I was wrong. This was amazing! Seriously I never would have ordered it and was ready to walk out without getting anything, but this was...I am glad Raymond wanted some. I am not even a huge hazelnut fan...the ice cream here is so creamy and delicious. It makes me want some right now...I think it is good that we don't like closer or I would eat here all the time!

Overall - Definitely stop by here if you ever are in the area. Or even if you are close-ish. The vegan ice cream is the best we have had in the city, maybe a tie with Der Eisbarliner.

Voner, Berlin Germany

With all of the doner places in Berlin it wasn't long before I wanted to check out Voner - vegan doner! This is a tiny place and they even have a giant piece of seitan roasting like the doner meats which is a bit silly to me, but I suppose makes it like the meat counterpart. This voner consisted of the seitan meat, tomato, lettuce, cabbage, cucumber and sauce on the doner bread and grilled. It was pretty tasty and I know this photo doesn't look very big, but it was huge! I think it would have been a lot of food to eat on my own so I was glad I was sharing it with Raymond.


We also tried the seitan nugget plate. This came with salad and fries and was also a ton of food. We were barely able to finish it all.  The seitan nuggets were chewy and alright but seemed like they were overcooked, the fries were crispy and good, the salad was mostly cabbage and was just alright - I didn't really like the sauce that was served on it though.

Overall - Voner was pretty tasty and I would go back and get another voner when I am in the mood.

Funk You, Berlin Germany

Funk You had a stand at the market in Friedrichshain a sign for vegan cake! We had to try one of them - they had raspberry chocolate, but since we just had raspberry sorbet and Raymond doesn't like fruit and chocolate we went for the other options - chocolate nut. This was pretty tasty though the cake was a smidgen dry. There were nuts throughout as well as on top with a thick chocolate frosting that was delicious - not too sweet. They also have a storefront not too far away that we will have to stop in and see if they have other great vegan treats.

Overall - This cake was a nice treat and we need to go to the storefront to see what else they have for me to eat.

Rosa Canina, Berlin Germany

While riding our bikes around we came across a market to check out and found Rosa Canina across the street so of course we had to look for vegan options.  They had a raspberry basil sorbet so we had to get some to try (strawberry basil is amazing so I had high hopes for this). I was a little disappointed - it didn't really have a basil flavor it just tasted like raspberry which is good. I was just expecting something a little more. Still refreshing and tasty, but not what I was expecting.

Overall - the sorbet was good, but the flavor was not as strong as I had hoped. If I were in the area again I would stop in and try another flavor to see how it is.

Veganz, Berlin Germany

I have a hard time finding a good breakfast in Berlin besides something simple from the bakery. We went to Veganz before for brunch, but they also have some breakfast foods in their bakery as well as baked goods from Goodies. Raymond had been before and said they had tasty bagel sandwiches so went to check it out one morning.


We started with a croissant. This was just alright. An issue I have with a lot of croissants is the vegan margarine or whatever they use leaves a film in my mouth after I have eaten it which I really dislike. I have never had this issue with ones I make at home so I am not sure why I often find this is true for bakeries. This was also a little dense and not as light and flaky as I would have liked.


We also tired a cranberry orange scone. Scones are one of those things that they can be amazing or they can just be really dry and hard to eat. This fortunately was amazing! I can be kind of iffy on orange flavored bready stuff, but this wasn't overly orange so it was good. It was nice and moist and crumbly and delicious.


We then tried two bagel sandwiches. The first was a BBQ tofu bagel - a bagel with bbq tofu, cheese, lettuce and I'm not sure what else, but it was super tasty. The bbq sauce was super tasty and all the other toppings made for a really yummy bagel.

We also tried a hummus bagel with cucumbers, sprouts, tomato, lettuce and avocado. This was light and refreshing and so tasty. I think I liked this one better than the bbq as it just felt healthier. Super super tasty. I will have to go back and try some of the other bagel sandwiches and desserts.

Overall - You should stop in at Veganz for some tasty bagel sandwiches (and also any vegan groceries you might want).

Maria Bonita, Berlin Germany

Maria Bonita is a tiny little Mexican restaurant in Prenzlaur Berg we stumbled across one day. We both ordered some of the veggie tacos without cheese to make them vegan. They were so amazing for how simple they were. The diced veggies (zucchini, peppers, potatoes, onion) are seasoned wonderfully and go great with the beans. I am usually just an eh on tacos as I think they are usually just okay, but these were amazing. These definitely converted me to a taco lover.

Overall - Maria Bonita is tiny and only has one or two vegan options, but they are amazing! If it is busy it might be hard to find a seat, but it is worth the wait. They also have great frozen margaritas. 

Golden Buddha, Berlin Germany

Golden Buddha is a small Thai restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg.  They have a whole section of vegetarian items which can be made vegan, as well as all the noodle dishes (but not the rice dishes). They have summer rolls with tofu and veggies and a light sauce which are definitely one of my favorites. I am used to a peanut sauce being served with them, but this sesame sauce is pretty tasty.



For the entrees we ordered the green curry with soy pieces. This was pretty tasty, though Raymond was convinced the soy pieces were real meat so it freaked him out a bit. I knew it wasn't but they were still a little odd. The flavors were good though.


We also tried the Pad Thai with tofu no egg. This was just alright, not as good as some other ones we have had but not horrible either. I will still look out for a Thai place that has noodle dishes I can eat as most places have just curries.

Overall - I really liked Golden Buddha. The waiters were friendly, they have a nice outdoor area and the food was pretty good.
