Super friendly and relaxed bakery / café in an area of Prenzlauer Berg that has not yet become…read morefully gentrified. All day breakfast is good and much cheaper than two tram-stops away around Kollwitzplatz, for example. They also do warm meals, spinach and feta börek pastries, and various Turkish sauces & pastes, but most of the bakery is standard German breads and cakes. The place has a nice local feel with a mixture of old regulars, families and students. The owner is quite sociable and likes a chat from time to time. This bakery is also open much longer than most in the area (8pm mon-fri and 6pm sun). Plenty of outside seating in the summer makes it a good place to sit in the sun on a lazy afternoon.

I have been a few times now and can honestly say, one of the best places around at the moment. Everything is freshly prepared and tastes like home-made. The staff is always friendly and cheerful. Today I had a slice of vegetable quiche with salad and then a slice of dense dark chocolate cake with a layer of a fresh fig compote or jam. Everything was excellent. I think the quiche and salad was about 4 € and the cake was 3,50€. It's a very comfortable place to relax and read a book at as well.

Anyways: this is the kind of place you should only order things like Kaffee und Kuchen. They have decent Flammkuchen if you're looking for a non-sweet snack, but mostly I just order coffee (all of the coffee drinks are decent) and the amazing French mousse cake. The tea is also quite good (loose leaves from what I recall -- I don't drink much tea but they have a big loose tea selection). The atmosphere is very nice in the summer under the awning on the terrace out back, especially on the hot days when everywhere else feels like an oven inside. On cold days in the winter, the inside is warm and cozy, candles on the tables and fire burning. If you have kids you'll be eternally grateful for the sandbox with playground and toys out back on nice days, especially because the back terrace is enclosed and they can't run away from you. There's also a play corner inside on the cold days. For those with very small ones, they have loads of high chairs and a big bathroom with changing table.

First off, I have to give this place props because the bakery section looks amazing! Of course, I…read moream not certain if the desserts and baked goods at LebensArt are vegan-friendly, but they do indeed look delicious. As for the cafe itself, I was seriously underwhelmed. The menu excited me at first because of a coconut-curry vegetable dish for €5.50. Considering the lack of options in the area that catered to my eating habits, I was surprised to find a vegan offering on the specials page. Unfortunately, it tasted like a microwaveable meal had been heated up and dumped on my plate, then slathered with tasteless sauce. Yeah, it was that bad. The vegetables were the best part, but the sauce was not that good and the rice was also lacking in any flavor. The good part is that the service was quick, the meal was hot, and the food was filling. But other than that, not much I can say. The inside of the restaurant is big, however, with lots of seating in various sections. There are tables out front and it looks like there is a patio out back, which could be nice in warm weather. But again, nothing in particular on this menu that would draw me to the place.
