I am not sure why I am giving two stars to this place, imo it shouldn't even get 1. Anyway, let's get to the facts.
I booked this place checking first the reviews and though: "cool, looks like a nice one", apparently I forgot that most cultures/nationalities living in Berlin know nothing about good food or restaurants.
First impression: the outside looks shabby but I never judge the outside (same as judging a book) so we got in anyway.
The second I got in and said hello 3 of their employees were chatting on the counter and took 3 min to someone greet me. This is the part I regret, we should have left at that moment. I am not a cook and not even a restaurateur, but I know that a good part of what you serve comes with the way you serve it. They walked us on the back where there is a backyard with tables and left us there. I had to get up and ask if there were menus and the girl inside told me: yes yes, we'll come to you.
After a few minutes someone came and told us we had to check for the menu online and then she would come and take our order. The online menu doesn't include what's in the dish you are ordering, naming it Vegan brunch and not putting a description looks kinda stupid to me.
We ordered the vegan brunch and a Chai latte (which was good but that's hard to fail since most of the are simply store bought mixtures).
They brought us the food without giving us the cutlery first, which took another 3-4 min for, so we stared at our food while was getting cold.
Overall it was really insignificant, the pancakes were terribly dry (I highly recommend to google a vegan recipe as they are extremely easy to make and great), they served some corn, some fresh tomatoes (not even the bother to grill them), beans from a can, some lettuce, a few potatoes, 4 tiny mushrooms (since more would be too much). The only nice part were some small 'eatable cups' with some good sauce inside.
Anyway, maybe I shouldn't bother so much after all, Germany in general knows very little about good cuisine.
