Café Bärbucha

Are you searching for a place to get healthy bacteria in your stomach? Bärbucha is a fantastic option for anyone searching for healthy, fermented beverages and food. Everything here is fermented, organic, and unpasteurized. It is the first place in Berlin to produce Kombucha. Kombucha is produced by fermenting tea using a culture of bacteria and yeast (Scoby). At the Café, they have the biggest selection of Kombucha in Berlin. Some are available only at the Café. Others are distributed within the city. They even have Kombucha made out of some medicinal plants like Jiaogulan, Schisandra, and Chaga X.
Bärbucha also offers workshops for anyone interested in learning about fermenting beverages, food, and even products such as face cream! The owners have a lot of knowledge and experience with fermentation. In a short time talking with them, we learned a lot about fermentation. They focus on quality over quantity. Everything is vegan except kefir and some Kombuchas are sweetened with honey. Lunch consisting of one or two vegetarian/vegan items is currently offered. But in the future, there will be less emphasis on a lunch menu and more energy put into fermenting Kombucha, vegetables, and other fermented products. We had a probiotic salad with fermented carrots, beetroot, and peppers, raw spinach, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, cooked green chickpeas and Basmati rice, grilled zucchini, and olive oil. We also had a mushroom named “Chicken of the woods” (Schwefelporling) that definitely has the consistency of chicken and had a mouth-watering flavour of a tomato-based sauce. Additionally, we tried a 6 month old Kimchi (7 euros per jar).

My favorite place for Kombucha in Berlin. The owners are so knowledgeable and constantly explore new flavors and ingredients. Very thankful for a place like this in Berlin. Try the June Kombucha for a non-alcoholic sparkling wine alternative. It’s insane!!!

I’m a huge fan of their kombucha since day one. Nothing quite like it. If you’ve had a hard time so far with kombucha cause it’s too sweet or artificial try theirs. Not comparable to any of the supermarket kombucha’s! And it’s very beneficial for your gut long term.

Mega cooles Café! For anyone looking for a relaxing cafe environment with positive vibes and super tasty Kombucha, I highly recommend this spot. I couldn't help but try a few different types of kombucha which I'd never heard of. It was fun to sample like I would beer at a brewery! Really interesting ingredients with lots of love and knowledge put into it. Whether you just like Kombucha, or are looking for something alternative, you've found it

I am impressed by the taste and the diversity of Kombucha Café Bärbucha offers. My favourit Bärbucha is JUN a special tibetian Scoby Kombucha made with raw honey. I highly recommand to visit Café Bärbucha with enough time to drink your favourite Kombucha slowly, like a good cup of tea and see, sip by sip, how feel * Beware you might find more than one or two, or three.... Kombucha types of your taste. :)

There's kombucha and then there's Bärbucha kombucha! I had lovely plant based dinner here and the joy of tasting a lot of these wonderful kombucha brews! The place is small and cozy, definitely worth visiting more than once!

KOMBUCHA!! FINALLY!!! Kombucha in Berlin!! As a frequent visitor to oh-so-hip Berlin, I was quite surprised to find out that it was near impossible to find kombucha--that is, until now!! This litle gem of a cafe opened up in sleepy Schoneberg a few months back and I'm so glad it did. With all of the health benefits that come along with drinking fermented kombucha, the kombucha craze took over the U.S. years ago and, as one who knows his kombucha, I can attest that this is the real deal. And, as a major bonus, the vegetarian and vegan food at this place also happens to be super delicious. Even though I'm not a huge fan of sweets, my partner is and he said that the peanut butter cake was one of the best cakes he's ever had. Oh . . . and did I mention that the owners are some of the most pleasant and welcoming folks around (not an easy find in Berlin) and they grow their own sprouts too? It's a little hard to find (just down the street from Yogi Haus on the opposite side), but once you find it, you won't be disappointed.
