Finding vegan food in certain parts of Berlin can be a challenge. Goodies is a convenient quick stop just a block away from Warschauer Strasse station. I was a little disappointed of the limited gluten-free options. The top two tiers of the cake display as well as the cookies and short breads all contained wheat flour. Only the bottom tier was raw, vegan and gluten-free. On my first visit, there was only one gluten-free cake, on my next visit at least they had three. They do have some additional gluten-free options in the refrigerated section, like chia pudding or chocolate mousse. Flavor wise, the raw cakes are awesome. They use cashew nuts to make the cheezecake filling with no added sugar, only natural sugar from dates or fruit. You get the healthy fat from coconut and walnuts. Guilt-free and nutritious dessert! Between the strawberry mint, chocolate coconut and strawberry rhubarb, it's hard to pick a favorite. The chocolate one was sweeter and the most decadent. Prices are high for Berlin standards, about $7 per slice of cake. Please stop using wheat flour! There are so many gluten-free flours you can use in your cakes to make them healthier. read more

Yummy cherry streusel and a cappuccino for me and a vegan sandwich and cappuccino for my bf -- a great sunny patio. But no washroom for customers, which is kinda inconvenient. They direct you to a public one across the street, but it took my money and failed to open. Argh read more

Goodies - Cherry streusel and soy cappuccino -- not too sweet, perfect! - Cafes Near Me - Berlin, BE

A good (but not cosy) place to have a breakfast. Definitely must try a burger bagel (very filling, good balanced, if you don't mind about gluten), it's a gem. They changed a menu last year (I suppose), so I can say, the place now is completely tasty. read more

This branch of Goodies is a big sister to the one down the road (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/78246-Goodies-Berlin) , which can be too small and difficult to find a seat. I only tried the food on my second visit, as on my first visit, it was crazily busy. The selection of soups, cakes and sandwiches is slightly different to their sibling, with a slightly smaller selection, and more emphasis on the bakery side of the business. But just like their sibling, staff are friendly and helpful, and the food delicious. There are seats by the window, so people watching can be fun; and there's also a large upstairs area, which was closed when I visited (I think they're still finishing off the decorating, as when I went a few days earlier for their opening, it was unpainted and with portable tables, rather than anything fitted). Interestingly, when I visited for the first time and went upstairs, they'd printed out their business plan and stuck it to the wall, so that you could see why they'd chosen that building and how much everything cost. I was astonished at how expensive it was to open. But it's money well spent, as it's a great location, and they seemed suitably busy. Definitely recommend. Also on the ground floor of the building is the Veganz (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/2608791-Veganz-Wir-lieben-Leben-Berlin) shop, which sells all manner of vegan goodies, some priced very reasonably (a couple of euros for a pack of soya chunks) to very unreasonably (10EUR for a 500ml pot of ice cream). But it's worth having a wander round if you like interestingly different foods. read more

A quaint little cafe in Veganz grocery store. I have noticed that the quality of food has gone up since they opened. They seem to be ever evolving into a healthier version of vegan fast food, so that is a good sign. I believe that they are just slowly getting there feet wet to see what the people will buy and have every intention of eventually serving more super healthy snacks in the future. At the moment it is sort of in the in-between stages of your somewhat typical vegan sandwich snack bar and a super trendy healthy spot to grab a quick bite and relax outside in their super cute seating area, with a view of the hustle and bustle on the Warschauer bridge and beyond. read more

I was looking for the Berlin Wall and needed some wifi to find my way there. I spotted this vegan restaurant and thought I accidentally died and went to heaven. Then I realized I am in Berlin, which is pretty close to heaven. Anyway. I went in, it was nice and cozy, which was an amazing change from the icy wind outside. I already loved it. There is a cute, comfortable atmosphere here. You order at the counter and find a spot to sit. I'm guessing a lot of people buy food to go, as there is not much seating and it seems that you can get anything to go. They offer breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, and they have smoothies, juices, desserts, and a fridge filled with an assortment of salads (like sturdy salads, filled with quinoa and stuff) and drinks. Being here kind of makes me want to move to Berlin and spend all of my time here. Seriously, I would work here just to be able to spend more time here. Anyway, I got a raw chocolate truffle (amazing) and an Americano. They were both incredible, I may go as far to say they were life changing. Sometimes you just need some "healthy" chocolate truffles and a strong coffee in your life. Thank god for goodies, they complete me. Oh, and yes, they did have wifi. read more
