So good - Edit
Great and cozy place to get your fill of veggies after all them burgers and meat substitutes from those other generic vegan places in Berlin. Loads of healthy dishes with all kinds of vegetables, the curry, foccachia and the minestrone were very good (as were all the other dishes, to be honest). Very homemade feel and home-ly ambiente, I think the British man who runs the place lives here as well. He kinda told all three of us different prices, but considering the variety of the food, 10-12€ incl. drinks (we had fresh berry smoothies and tea) is a steal, honestly.

Energy Vampire - Edit
The British employee at this place greeted me with an unexpected display of passive-aggressiveness, micro-aggressions, classism, and hostility. His comments were often mansplaining and patronizing; for instance, he said, "With that jacket, you look like a hobo."

I really love this place! - Edit
The first thing I got was a fresh pressed juiced! I ate from the buffet, there were 8 different warm meals, different salads (also with fruits), different sorts of bread and a soup. If you just want to eat one plate you pay less, but my choice was the buffet all you can eat for 10,50€. The owner gave me the WIFI password as he recognised that i want to work. Go there and support this cutie! 🫶🏼 #Veganuary

Great vegan buffet - Edit
Delicious vegan food on a buffet. You can choose between one plate with as many dishes as you like (and fit on the plate) or all you can eat. Prices are reasonable and Michael is a great host.

Wonderful vegan food! - Edit
The owner and chef greeted us upon entry, and told us that we can have one plate full of food or all you can eat for 2 euros more. When we were there everything was vegan except the tatziki. The food was excellent. The owner/chef was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dessert cost extra, and well worth it! Very nice, calm atmosphere, with soft yet interesting music from the owner/chef's collection.

Thanks for the review Mitch(?), and I am happy that you enjoyed Crunch! I'm looking forward to you all making the trek from Neukoln to Moabit again Sir. Dont forget we have a great beach closeby around the corner at Plotzensee in case you fancy a dip and a nap after lunch!

My new favourite discovery in Berlin - Edit
Finally someone was not afraid to play with spices.
Read moreAn amazing, vegetably experience in Moabit-Berlin. Each buffet dish spoke with its own character. The homemade bread even reminded me of my grandmother's childhood bread. Invigorating freshly squeezed juice and caramelized upside-down apple cake. Keep some space for the dessert even though all the buffet is wonderful.

Good price but not my type of food - Edit
I can't pinpoint exactly what I didn't like about the food but a lot of the options were not my taste. Some were good though. Maybe the dirty plates and interior made me feel that way. The owner is super nice though.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Affordable, Great host
Cons: Plates were not clean, Interior didn't give a good vibe

Delicious home cooked food. Everything was hot, tasted great, and incredibly filling. Everything was loaded up on vegetables.

Healthy fresh and delicious. If you are in Berlin, you need to check it out.
Pros: An entire vegan buffet , Lots of veggies, Healthy and delicious

Delicious, and great atmosphere! - Edit
Great first impression as you come in, as the the owner makes time to welcome you. The atmosphere is super relaxed; the place as well really seems part of the neighbourhood, which is important and a big plus.
Read moreThe food was plenty, many different delicious veggies and protein made up in ways it wouldn't normally occur to us. (The focaccia was really really tasty I wish I had some more right now..)We also spoiled ourselves with coffee and cake, because we didn't quite wanted to leave:)
The owner is the chef, attends tables, greets the neighbours as they pass by, and clearly puts a lot of thought and love in this little venture. We just loved the chillness of it all, the yummy food, very fair prices, and a feel of utopia. Very recommended!

We went here for lunch on our way to our hotel. It was an really yummy buffet with different dishes, soup and bread which is all vegan except for one dish. The resturant has a really home like feeling and down to earth atmosphere. The owner was extremely friendly and had a really nice vibe. Would really recommend eating here you will not regret it.
