In a one week business trip to Hamburg, I ate green lovers four times: once with a coworker, once…read moreas catering for a team meeting, and twice on my own. So I guess you could say I'm a fan of this place! And I'm clearly not the only fan, as there was a lunch line every time I visited (various times between noon and 1:30). But not to worry, the line moves quite fast and you'll be eating lunch before you know it. There are various salad and soup options available, or you can create a custom salad by pointing at ingredients at the counter. I quickly learned how to say the various parts of my order in German (mixed salad, egg, beans, corn, mushrooms, tomato, parmesan cheese, balsamic dressing), though most of the staff is pretty fluent in English. Visiting from SF where a custom lunch salad can easily cost $14, the prices here (around 5-8 euros for a custom salad, depending on what you put in it) seem very reasonable. There's some indoor seating but it's pretty packed at lunch, so you may want to plan to take your meal elsewhere. Though if you do manage to get a seat and are dining alone, not to worry, they have free wi-fi! Healthy, fresh, fast, and reasonably priced, this is a great antidote to the heaviness and grease typically associated with German food.

I was surprised to see a concept like green lovers here in Hamburg. It reminded me of Mixt Greens…read morein San Francisco. The menu includes suggested salads, a make-your-own salad option, soups, and panini. All of the salads are made fresh when you order. I went with the falafel veggie salad special they had advertised on the counter with the green lovers dressing (herbs, lemon, olive oil). It had a great balance of ingredients and a nice hummus on top. Definitely a fan. Service was also surprisingly friendly despite the lunch rush. Again, other than that whole ordering in German part, I felt like I had just walked through a portal to Mixt Greens in downtown SF. The only downside is that the space is a little tight and is pretty much packed by 12:30pm. If you'd like a place to sit and don't mind getting bumped into every so often, I'd aim for right before noon and stick to parties of 2. The line always moves fast and they offer takeout, so that could be a good plan B if you happen to arrive after half of Hamburg's workforce has.

She stated that when they cut them fresh this morning the avocados looked normal, we're talking from 14 hours later!!!

My girlfriend and I started looking for nice places that were a bit healthier and Dean & David hits the mark perfectly. I am a major fan of the Warm Thai Beef Salad and my girlfriend particularly likes the Parisian Salad, both of us are working through the juices and I am a particular fan of the Ginger Shot although it is not quite as tangy as the ginger juices we make at home. It is very helpful that this store is just round the corner from my work for grabbing something quick but seating space is a little short here and for that reason I prefer here when passing or grabbing a quick something but the one on Georgsplatz 10 when we will sit a while and take our time to eat.

Cheese!! I love cheese!!…read more I was like a bee to honey when I arrived in Hamburg, Germany. Dropped my bags off at my friend's apartment and made my way to the hip and happening "Schanze". You can find tons of coffee shops and eateries as well as shopping. Restaurants typically have large picnic tables in the front of their establishments. As I walked around I spotted some tables with almost allll the people eating these large salads with large white disc on top. Popular item for sure!! After airport food and plane food I was in the mood for veg. Turns out the salads are fresh chopped in vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber and large spicy beans with greens and a dressing and topped with circular bread cut outs with circular disc of goat cheese heated up and drizzled with honey! Literally one of the best salads of my life. I ordered the city's fave beer Astra. I got a bread basket with three little slices to sop up the leftover juices. Thrilled over salad! Who would have thought the salad would bring me such happiness. Something so simple has found its way to my food memories and heart! It was so freaking delicious that I returned for another round and this time with a Kristallweizen to compliment my meal. Nothing could stop me. Even the threat of rain, I enjoyed one more salad feasting on the Schanze. Vielen Dank! Es war super lecker!
