Creative vegan comfort food and popular brunch in Prenzlauer Berg; tasty and cozy but expect slow service at peak times and add-on charges.
Froindlichst delivers reliable vegan brunch quality with strong food quality highlighted by its celebrated English breakfast and creative bowls, supported by stylish, cozy design that defines the Prenzlauer Berg experience. However, inconsistent execution and slow weekend service prevent grade A territory—expect 30-45 minute waits at peak times and occasional dry burgers. Worth visiting for the vegan comfort food and neighborhood atmosphere, but plan accordingly for crowded brunch periods.
Set on a leafy Prenzlauer Berg block, Froindlichst pairs cozy, stylish cafe vibes with a lively weekend brunch scene. Guests praise the friendly team and colorful plates, though some note waits when it is packed: "We loved the food, but service slowed once the room filled." Expect bustling weekends and better speed off-peak. The kitchen leans into creative vegan comfort: planted-protein burgers, cashew-based cheeses, and generous bowls with bright sauces. The vegan English breakfast is a recurring favorite, while a few diners find certain burgers a touch dry or light on sauce. Pricing skews higher for a cafe, with sides and sauces often extra, but many feel the flavors and presentation justify the splurge for a relaxed brunch date. Families are well served: there is a kids menu with nuggets, a kids burger, and mini pancakes, plus accessible brunch staples like pancakes and chickpea scramble. Portions vary—platters feel abundant, some bowls less so—so consider adding fries or sharing a dessert to keep kids happy.
