RIP - Edit
In addition to stopping by a week before, I went on their last day (2024-08-29). Most of their menu was no longer available, and they were liquidating some raw ingredients (e.g., kala namak, nooch). Their books were all 25% off, too, so I picked up a copy of “How to Create a Vegan World” by Tobias Leenaert, which I’ve been meaning to read. It seemed like a great third place while it lasted. I’m not sure why they are closing, but I wish the staff all the best!

Ok, but not amazing - Edit
My hubby took the scrambled tofu and it was so salt it was almost uneatable. I had the golden porridge, which did taste great but had no milk (I know there are different traditions for with or without, I’m definitely team with milk). Cakes did not taste of much. Glad we had the chance to try before they closed, but I would not have made a return visit.
Read morePros: Good porridge, Nice space, Clean bathroom
Cons: Very salty food, Cakes did not taste that much

More than a cafe (but the food is good, too!) - Edit
Was fun while it lasted. Plant Base is closing on August 29, 2024, and I took the chance to have a last breakfast there with a friend: the plate for two, with divine tofu scramble, three kinds of dips, kimchi, feta, a granola. The weather was beautiful and as always we sat outdoors. I also bought their cookbook —„Vegan Curious“— a colourful collection of recipes with detailed instructions. The creators will continue organising events, but the location will see a new vegan restaurant soon.

Ganz ok - Edit
Der Laden ist eigentlich ganz ok. Die Kuchen/Torten sind wirklich über alles erhaben. Das Frühstück ist sehr inspiriert und eher fade. Die Preise sind sehr hoch (Prenzlauer Berg halt), was die Hipster hier ja nicht weiter stört. Nicht schlecht, nicht geil. Einfach ok-yer laden.
Read morePros: Kuchen, Mengen, Breites Sortiment

Loved this place - Edit
My vegan caprese croissant was out of this world, I never had a good experience eating vegan mozzarella but this one was simply amazing. Their rose cardamom latte was also delicious. I didn’t find the prices to be too excessive given the quality and the location! Definitely would recommend it!

The most vegan place I've ever been to - Edit
This is the most vegan place I've ever been to! Well, what does that mean? Some places just don't use animal products in their dishes, but this is an actual hub for veganism. They put information all over the restaurant about how to get involved in vegan trivia night, vegan dating nights, vegan team building events, vegan book clubs. They hold vegan cheese making workshops, kimchi workshops, polish dumpling workshops, cocktail workshops, latte art and barista workshops, and so much more.
Read moreThey sell books about veganism, too. Including cookbooks. In the bathroom, there are handouts about animal rights and vegan Sundays hosted by green market berlin.
Also, the breakfast plate and soup were amazing, that goes without saying. They even sell their dips, spice mixes, and elements from their dishes, like the bacon chips and granola.

You've got to like coconut... - Edit
very tasty but with so many amazing reviews I had honestly expected to be more impressed. The tofu scramble was nice, but a bit salty; the bread slightly dry; the spreads were very nice; the carrot cake enjoyable but far from the best I've had (the frosting was sort of weirdly gooey in consistency and super sweet and the cake on the dry side); coffee was very good but not exceptional. Space is pleasant and lightful and the staff nice. I'd be curious to try the platters and the porridge sometime.
Read more(edit after trying the breakfast plate/granola)--I really want to like this place but...the food is fine, it just tastes like it's obviously vegan, if that makes sense, which in 2024 is something one shouldn't really notice so evidently at a fully vegan cafe in a city like Berlin.

Plate for two, all time favorite - Edit
For me one of the best breakfasts in Berlin. I really like it there. Cozy, lots of plants, nice service, super delicious food. The Plate for 2 in particular is super good, a bit of everything. There's just always not enough bread for the great spread and scrambled tofu. A very small drawback, as it is easy to reorder. ;)

El tofu revuelto - Edit
El Plant Base es un lugar muy cálido y cómodo. Eso invita a sentarte y pedir un brunch para tomar con tiempo. El tofu revuelto está muy bueno y además es un plato muy bien servido. Tienen una carta amplia y variedad de tartas 🌱

Breakfast Must in Berlin - Edit
Everytime I visit Berlin this is a Must-See. Totally vegan. Breakfast Platter is so good, I really love the kimchi and the vegan carrot salmon. Seasonal drinks are also very good. Stuff is lovely and the atmosphere really cozy. Check out there Cookbook.
