For the last two summers, I was so happy to get the opportunity to spend some time in the beautiful and green city of Berlin. With the glorious architecture and many gorgeous parks full of awe-inspiring trees, herbs, berries, calming bodies of water (yes, there is even a park with a magnificent waterfall running through it) and organic grocery stores at every corner, it’s hard to surpass Berlin in its environmentally conscious, animal-friendly, vegan mentality. I would like to share with you three of my favorite places to eat, have coffee or tea, or enjoy a delicious dessert. You won’t be disappointed!
Danziger Str. 16, 10435 Berlin
This is a raw vegan’s dream come true! All of your favorite dishes, including raw pizza, yummy soups, sarma, kelp noodles, rolls and wraps, cheese platters, crapes, and incredibly delicious desserts – a must visit for any raw vegan and impossible to disappoint.
My pick: any of their delicious raw pizzas and desserts
Akazienstraße 28, 10823 Berlin
I was so lucky to have this gem right in my neighborhood during my stay in Berlin. This delightful deli offers some raw vegan eats such as smoothies, juices, and a yummy zucchini noodle bowl, but what tops my list are the unbeatable raw desserts. If you are in Schoneberg and are in the mood for dessert and coffee or tea, this cozy and friendly spot on one my favorite streets in Berlin is for you!
My pick: raw chocolate truffles and any of the raw vegan cakes
Graefestrasse 75, 10967 Berlin
If you are in Kreuzberg, don’t miss this beautiful charming oasis of a cafe on another one of my favorite streets in Berlin. Frida Cafe is a sanctuary, where you can read, write your next book, chat with friends, or just daydream. It’s a poet’s dream! Although there are many vegan options, there is one raw vegan dish (or you can ask for them to make it raw) called the Superfood bowl which is a half of a cantaloupe filled with berries, chia seeds, granola, and vegan yogurt. They have incredible coffee and tea too!
My pick: Superfood bowl
I had the five-course vegan prix-fixe dinner at Lucky Leek in Berlin (with wine pairing… too… much… wine…). It was definitely an interesting experience but it was also the second time I’d had a multi-course vegan meal that was a bit too heavy for me – I’d love some lighter choices!

Yes, Carly! Eating vegan can sometimes mean eating heavier food – I try to stick to fruit and veggies when I eat raw vegan so it helps to feel lighter afterwards! Love and light! 🙂
