Excellent vegan and gluten-free brunch destination with standout waffles and cakes, but expect slow weekend service, smallish portions, and paid tap water policy.
Easy Peasy earns its grade through excellent food quality—fluffy waffles, creative vegan fare, and rotating cheesecakes that justify its loyal following—but inconsistent execution and slow weekend service (45-90 minute waits) prevent a higher standing. The cozy Prenzlauer Berg setting and strong repeat customer base reflect genuine appeal for its niche, though small portions and mixed value perception limit broader appeal.
Easy Peasy is the cozy Prenzlauer Berg brunch spot friends text each other about for fluffy gluten-free waffles and vegan bakes. Service energy swings with the crowd: on quiet weekdays it feels warm and unhurried, while weekends can be a wait. One guest summed it up: "Great food, but our Sunday plates took ages." Policies like paid filtered water also shape the experience. The cooking leans plant-forward comfort with smart touches—think chickpea omelette with salad, miso-tomato on toast, and rainbow bowls. Desserts shine, especially the rotating cheesecakes. It is not avant‑garde; more elevated cafe fare with careful sourcing, where gluten-free feels natural, not compromised. Families do fine here, especially with waffles, pancakes, grilled cheese, and simple bowls. Kids who like sweet brunch will be happy, though portions can run small and weekend waits test patience. If you need fast service, aim for weekdays or arrive early.
