I had Chipps bookmarked before arriving in Berlin, having read rave reviews from fellow vegans as a great spot for vegan breakfast. So we had a lot of excitement walking into this dark and modern restaurant with sleep countertops. It looked like a great place for a dinner date. But since we were here for brunch, we sat on their outdoor patio where we had a lot of sunlight and trees surrounding us. The menu is definitely diverse, offering cuisines from different regions of the world. Small letters denote whether dishes are vegetarian or vegan. However, I noticed many vegetarian dishes, but very few vegan (or rather, vegan-option as not many dishes were vegan as prepared). I settled for the Northern African, which as you can probably guess, is a Northern African dish consisting of stewed tomatoes with lots of spices and veggies. I also ordered the Choc Norris smoothie, made with coconut milk, cocoa, bananas, avocado, and other fruits and veggies. They serve complimentary bread while you wait, which is a nice touch. My Northern African dish, while tasty and flavorful, felt a little too 'simple' and lacked the 'breakfast' feel to it. I looked around at other people's dishes and I saw toast, eggs, etc. Mine felt more like a lunch or dinner plate. Despite there being vegan sausages and bacon available on the menu, it was strange that there wasn't an entire vegan dish that included them. My smoothie, on the other hand, was super creamy and thick, with an extra dose of chocolate to get your sweet tooth singing. I enjoyed my meal at Chipps, but am a little underwhelmed by the vegan options and am left pondering what other vegan's options were when they went.

TLDR: Fresh ingredients, large portions and decent pricing - breakfast served 9-5, outdoor seating available - omelette: 4 stars, liked how it was slightly burnt on top (oven finished?) with fresh juicy tomatoes and whole large mushrooms - vegetarian sausage: 4 stars, a bit dry but liked how this was also slightly burnt to a crisp on the exterior Overall, service was just decent (as with all places here it seems). Food came out quickly

In a city where doner and bratwurst reign supreme, Chipps is a breath of fresh air. We were famished after a 3 hour walking tour of the city and we ended up on the far side of Mitte's Gendarmenmarkt. It was serendipity when we saw Chipps (good yelp reviews too!) and even though it's a bit pricey, our dining experience was well worth it. Different tones of grey adorn the space with an impressive stainless steel kitchen in the center. The surroundings were minimalist but luxurious and the staff were professional and nice. We were delighted by our healthy choices for lunch: asparagus salad with hollandaise sauce, shakshouka (super delicious runny eggs with tomato sugo and chickpeas), cabbage rolls with potato-leek ragout. The warm coconut rice pudding with strawberries was so amazing! it was nice to have a comforting dessert to soothe our tired senses. Skip the other desserts. It looks like ... turd. Coming from San Francisco, I have tremendous appreciation for beautifully executed food that's also nourishing to the body. Chipps is a winner.

I had bookmarked this restaurant prior to our trip, and I am glad I did! Chipps was a short walk from one of the Christmas markets, located on a corner with a nice little garden. We were craving a good brunch and this was a great choice. My husband wasn't feeling well and had the hot ginger tea with lemon. Large slices of fresh ginger was great for his sore throat. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, which was delicious. He had a an omelet while I opted for the eggs benedict with vegetarian bacon with a salad. Wow, it was so good! I loved that they offered veg options. The restaurant is cozy and open with friendly staff. Go if you can!

While walking around the surrounding area to the Hilton Berlin, in which I was staying during my time in the city, I found this restaurant just 500 meters away, having struggled to find good gluten-free food, or even any gluten-free food at all in the Gendarmenmarkt and Stadmitte area, I thought visiting here would be different, however sadly it really was not. The building Chipps is located in isn't overly nice, however, they have tried to make it look nice the best they can, with outside blackboards showcasing some of their menus in English and German. The staff here didn't seem too friendly, when I asked about gluten free, the woman didn't really appear to know what I was talking about, she just shrugged her shoulders and told me I could have nothing, she didn't check with the kitchen despite the chef probably being so close, doing nothing, which is one of the flaws of an open kitchen because the chef obviously can't get away with standing there and doing nothing, as he appeared to be when I visited, which also made the good positive open kitchen, which made me feel of freshness and cleanliness, turn into something of course more negative. I'm struggling to comment further as I didn't try the food here but mainly down to the feel of the restaurant especially from the outside, service, and gluten-free selection and other flaws mentioned throughout my review, I sadly feel Chipps in Berlin deserves a single one-star rating.

You land in Berlin after a loooong flight, wake up & say...where is breakfast. Look no further than Chipps for delicious food, great coffee, & polite staff who make an international traveler feel comfortable.

One would think a city as metropolitan as Berlin would offer an abundance of vegan or at least vegetarian restaurants but unfortunately it isn't so. Vegetarianism is largely frowned upon and vegans might as well be from planet mars. How refreshing to find a restaurant that embraces the slow food movement, serving seasonal and organic food, with several vegan options. Add an open kitchen allowing you to observe the chefs assembling your plates and Ute is in heaven. Granted the place isn't cheap and the plates are small but the quality of the food is top notch. Love the assortment of high quality teas. Both the spiced chai and dark chocolate black tea were great. Teas are served in generous glasses with warm milk and honey. You can build your own salad in small (5.50), medium (8.50) or large, with an option to add a protein like fish, steak or seitan for an additional 6.00. The small salad is just enough for a starter for two. It was fresh and the peanut dressing awesome. There is complimentary fresh country bread served with a schmand spread with herbs and pine nuts, addicting. The vegan turnip cannelloni was phenomenal. Think of it as the healthiest crunchiest spring roll you've ever had. The sweet potatoes au gratin were great, the combination of the molten feta sauce and the baked potatoes was delicious. The potatoes however needed to be cooked longer. They weren't soft enough in the middle and the sugars hadn't caramelized. Why four stars and not five? One word: dessert. I had high expectations since all the food so far had been presented beautifully. I love polenta and make my own sweet polenta puddings at home frequently. I was quite disappointed when I was served a cake in a jar that was basically a really sweet cornbread. It was too sweet, I didn't taste any lemon and it was quite dense and dry. The coconut pannacotta was very creamy but I am not big on dairy. In retrospect, I should have gone for the chocolate cake. Skip dessert but by all means give Chipps a try, even if you're a carnivore!

This comment is for lunch I dont understand why people seem to be super excited about this place. The lunch menu was ok and the salad was overpriced yet mediocre. The bread was borderline average and service is just ok Good thing is they hv free wifi and it is one of the more healthy options in Germany. Maybe I need to come back and try breakfast? But lunch is a bit underwhelming to be honest

Amazing healthy restaurant with vegetarian and vegan options! I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try on my solo trip to Berlin. This place has my kind of atmosphere - wooden tables, dim lightning, and a modern interior. I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. A few of the options on the menu were seasonal and they no longer had them. I ordered a make-your-own salad and ginger-lime tea. Both were very fresh and delicious. My tab came to 12€. There is free wifi, just ask for the password. The music was very inviting and I ended up sitting for a while and reading a book. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a healthy, classy place to eat in Berlin! It's also well located around the main tourist attractions.

Brought my friend from out of town. Delicious brunch! Can't wait to go back. Got the French toast, bacon, eggs, salad combo & then the pancakes (pancakes are tiny) but so good. Service was good, too. Well priced! Yum!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! 2nd time here and I'm coming back for sure. Such a great chill vibe and excellent Food with plenty of healthy options. The "Bed Head" is fantastic. Eggs Benedict with loads of lovely greens and a vegan option instead of meat, which I chose and loved. Also delicious fresh carrot juice blends and killer coffee to wrap it up. Yum-o-Rama.

We came here for brunch on a Sunday (wooo! It's open on Sundays!) and I was thrilled by my dish. I got the double vision and was debating whether I should ask to switch the sausages for bacon. I decided against it because 1) I'm afraid of German waiters and 2) Germany is supposed to have good sausages, so why not. When my dish arrived (see photo), I had a bite of the visible sausage and was so happy with my decision-- it was delicious. But wait! There was a lump under my eggs. Was that where the rest of my sausages were hiding? It was! AND THEY WERE WRAPPED IN BACON. Greatest surprise ever! The greek salad was also amazing, and the sunny-side-up eggs were cooked to perfection with those golden yolks you only get in Europe or at a really good farmer's market. There were also vegan/vegetarian options for my friends.
