Great find on a rainy Tuesday. Arrived around 1:20 PM to find the cafe packed with singles, pairs, and even a few larger groups. Seating is first come, first serve, and communal. Love the vegetarian and vegan options. Chili was on the sweet side, but the daily special couscous was amazing. Most people take their food to go and it's right near a train station. I highly recommend stopping in for a relatively inexpensive lunch. Looks like they also serve breakfast and I'm certain that's equally delicious. read more

Visiting Berlin and stopped by here after seeing the Reichstag dome. Service was quick and friendly. My salmon omelette was incredible and the chai latte was amazing as well. Cool little spot but does get busy. All the tables were taken or reserved when I arrived so I sat at the counter. read more

Ok this little place is a GEM I wasn't able to get pictures as my kids devoured the food so fast! The food was absolutely delicious one of the soups (Wish I knew the name ) made with egg plant and a dollop of ricotta cheese I believe and tomato base was outstanding !! The salad was enough for a family of 5 to have with our main meals. The staff seemed to be a little snooty but the owner was absolutely charming and made sure we were comfortable as well as the people cleaning the tables hats off to you guys. Everyone complains about prices but for us the prices were well worth it also in the USA these are very cheap prices. The ambiance of this place is cozy and can get loud but it didn't bother us we were starving and this was a cozy little place. Can't wait to come back to Berlin to visit this place again! read more

Nice flair, nice Ambiente but overhyped. I really like the vibe and it seems to promise that you'll get something healthy and tasty. For the location and the interior you definitely pay your price (more expensive than other places or areas). A Baguette medium sized for 5-6€. Taste wise - yes it's healthy and it tastes good. But not something that would make this place better than any other places that would justify the high price. We had better breakfast, bread and eggs elsewhere, paid less. But a good place to meet and chat for sure. Don't drive all the way just to eat - not worth it in my opinion read more

**FAVORITE LUNCH SPOT IN BERLIN** The moment I stepped in, I knew. This WAS the place for me. AMBIANCE ========= Lots of light and good energy. Pastels and white. There is a pink dining table. YES. FOOD ===== PEA WITH MINT SOUP Probably the best pea soup I've ever had. Super fresh, chunky, with no flour or cornstarch. RATING: 5/5 STRAWBERRY VANILLA MARIZAPAN Wow, my favorite pastry in Berlin so far. Fluffy, flavorful, and tasted all natural. RATING: 5/5 OVERALL ========= Prices were reasonable, service was friendly (I'm shocked, really). Definitely worthy of another return. Want to try their fruit milkshakes next time. And probably eat all of the desserts on the menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

The food is so good here! My sister and I got coffees (which came with a mini palmier), an omelette and sandwich. The service was great and it was right by the river. 10/10 read more

Flamingo Fresh Food Bar - Omelette with tomatoes - Cafes Near Me - Berlin, BE

Stopped by for what I hoped would be a quick and easy lunch. They look to have a good menu with a fresh food selection. The downside is they don't seem to have a good ordering and food delivery process. I opted to have a meal warmed up in which case, you hope the order taker remembers who you were and where you sat amongst the chaos in their unorganized ordering system. It's probably easy enough to just buy your food without warming it up to avoid the chance of your order getting lost as was the case for me. One suggestion for the business is to come up with a more robust ticketing system, even hand written if that's all you can accommodate, which I think will scale much better than the current process. read more

I arrived here with high hopes having read the reviews but my pasta dish was ridiculously salty. They'd over seasoned it then added capers and pesto on top, so it was salt overkill and I couldn't finish it. The coffee was pretty good. My friend had a salmon sandwich and loved it so I think it was just my dish on this particular occasion. The place itself is lovely, open plan and breezy with an option of outdoor seating. Very 'hip and happening' and not far from museum island. read more

This place has nice decor, something like out of a tea party as my girlfriend would say. We stopped by for a light snack; she got a chai latte and apfelstrudel, and I got a cappuccino and roast beef sandwich (yes.. a snack). If you eat in, they'll heat up the sandwich and bring it to you. The staff regularly checked up on us to see if we were enjoying the food, in a non-imposing way, and we thought that was really nice of them. If nothing else get the chai latte.. oh my that tiger spice chai.. read more

One of my favorite hidden gems of a cafe in a typically crappy part of Mitte (not actually crappy, but a working district near touristy areas where there aren't many good cafes and restaurants per my standards, I mean). I worked in that neighborhood and went daily to Flamingo. They have great selection of drinks and a nice hot breakfast option. The owner or manager is always running around greeting people. Nice guy. Recommended! A few additional thoughts now that I have a bit more time: They were remodeling when I moved back to the US in August 2017, so I'm not sure how things look now (I don't know why they were remodeling - it was so cute before; hopefully no big changes). With that said: Pros: Ambience -- beautiful, airy cafe with clean modern design. It doesn't have a great view of the Spree or anything, but it is nice inside. It is the perfect spot to meet a friend for wine, stop in for breakfast or read a book in the afternoon during a lunch break. I met all my tandem language partners there because it was sufficiently central in the city, safe and offered both coffee and wine. Food -- they have a selection of the typical German sandwiches (these are usually a crunchy sourdough roll with a combination of fresh cheese, tomato and cold cuts), muffins, cakes, cookies and, as I mentioned above, an American-ish breakfast option (scrambled eggs with a side option - I got avocado - and bread). For those of you who don't speak German, this isn't on the menu above the counter, but rather on a specials-style small board sitting on the counter. I always came for that breakfast, as it reminded me of home with a European twist. It was excellent. Mixed: Service -- If this is your first time in Germany, remember that expectations for "friendly service" are bare to nonexistent here (also because tips are lower than in the US). I would say that Flamingo service was fine to good by German standards, but they're not trying to win any awards in that department. I always got the sense that every customer was an annoyance to the service staff, but that is typical overall in Germany and Europe. By contrast, the owner is very friendly and made me quite welcome. One time I dropped my shortbread tea cookie (the cookie that comes on the side of tea in Europe) on the ground and he noticed and came over with a replacement. He was always chatting with people and also keeping staff in line. I think their food and service is better because he is there to keep an eye on things. read more

1. The service was so good 2. Apple Carrot & Ginger Juice So Delicious 3. Salmon Omelette with salad and avocado OMG It was fireworks in my mouth so so good 4. Overall You should Eat Here Its the Bomb!!! read more

Okay I only had a chai tea latte (pictured) but as far as decoration, location, and that chai tea latte go, it was great. It's near Humboldt University and the Friedrichstraße station so that's a plus, and I'm a bit of a sucker for the cute blue/flowery/lighthearted theme they had going on. I saw other people eating sandwiches and soups and so I might go back and try that sometime. Edit! I came back today and tried a Mozzerella and tomato sandwich plus chai tea latte again. The sandwich was good and again the service was quick. Sandwich plus chai tea latte cost 5.80 Euro. read more

We went there on an afternoon so we couldn't get the chance to taste their meal of the day, sadly. However, we tried a double chocolate brownie and their cheesecake, and they were quite good! I expected the brownie to be too "chocolated" but it ended up being the perfect mix, providing me with melting bites! What a sweet surprise :) read more

Great for travelers! The food is wonderful (soups, sandwiches, coffee), there is free WiFi, there are restrooms, it is RIGHT next to the S-bahn and U-barn, AND the service was great. Would highly recommend! read more

This was my favorite meal in Berlin. Everything is fresh, local, and deliciously healthy. I had the carrot asparagus soup with the tomato mozzarella panini, which they grilled for me. My husband also had the soup and a house salad with the carrot juice. The soup was unique, but tasty with large chunks of asparagus. The sandwich was fresh and just what I needed. The place was very busy with locals, which is always a good sign. The service was very helpful and patient with my lack of German. I wish I could go there today! read more

This is my 'go to' place in central Berlin when I want guaranteed tasty, healthy and easy. Their offering of daily changing house-made soups are without fail a superb offering. The interior is light, bright and, sometimes, bustling. It is clean, convenient and friendly- with great fresh food. What's not to love?! read more

A pleasant self-service bistro with quite nice food. The atmosphere is nice and the food is of a good quality, however, nothing special. The service is a bit slow and not very professional. If you want to sit by a clean table, you better clean it up yourself because wiring for it to be cleaned may take ages.... read more

Fresh food, friendly atmosphere, and for us, a great alternative to a typical hotel breakfast. Quiet spot on the street -- just need to protect your cookies from the street sparrows! We'd definitely come back. read more

Amazing lunch spot for soups and sandwiches. It was a short walk for us from Museum Island, and it gave a nice break in between. I ordered the Parmesan sandwich with sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, and special sauce. Bread was crunchy and fresh. It was really tasty. Friends ordered lentil soup and chicken Caesar sandwich. Everyone enjoyed! read more

Stumbled upon this place from a yelp recommendation while visiting Berlin. Low key super fresh homemade food - was probably the best cucumber soup I ever had and the red wine was pretty good as well. Plus free wifi - great place for lunch!!! read more

Friendly staff, free wifi, clean bathroom, good food. Recommended if you're in the area. Everything is pre made and on display, so while not made to order, it all tastes very fresh. read more

Friendly staff, tasty salad, nice ambience to just chill for a bit. Great to find a place near to many of the main sights that isn't too touristy and serves healthy food. I will definitely be returning! read more

This restaurant in Berlin has awesome soups everyday. It gets super busy around lunch time. Come around 11AM to have their soups! I tried a potato soup with meat in it, which was what made me want to come back. Vegetable soup was also good, but not too unique. They also have fruity soups (not my favorite - there was a tart banana and avocado one). read more

Delicious food and coffee, a great find in this area. Friendly staff and clean toilets made it a great drop in spot for refuelling.

Yum! Great homemade and fresh soups and salads! The feldsalat is not the cleanest, I have to admit, for sometimes I have gotten gritty pieces. The dressing trumps that and I eat it anyway. They create good pumpkin everything! A bit pricey for lunch specials, but delicious. The biggest issue is lack of seating. Serious issue that needs attention. It's small inside and always has a line. Thank goodness for take away! read more

This cafe, located a bit offside Friedrichstr, is just great. When you enter this modern, hip and friendly place you do feel welcome. They don't have an english menu BUT they do have wonderful friendly staff who can explain everything for you! Even ordering a flatwhite wasn't a problem. They show their sandwiches in a big glass cabinet, so easy! We had breakfast there, they heated our sandwiches which made the bread wonderful cross and the cheese just perfectly soft. I've heard it's terrible crowded during lunch time when they serve one main dish a day and 3 different types of soup. We might go there anyway and try it. The salads we saw looked great, I like the way you pick small containers with different stuff you want on your salad, and they do have a big variety to choose from. That makes it easy to just buy to to take with you for later or to pre buy before lunch time! WiFi is free and has good speed. read more

Good for a quick lunch. Highly coveted by locals in the area. Decent salads and soups, just a bit of a wait time.

This was a perfect spot for lunch. It is off the main boulevard, but worth the walk. There was a long line to order,but Isn't that a sign of a good place? The food was Delicious and reasonable. I had the chicken curry and it was fabulous and large enough to split! The people working here were friendly and helped me with the all German menu that was on the board. I would highly recommend. read more
