So good

Great and cozy place to get your fill of veggies after all them burgers and meat substitutes from those other generic vegan places in Berlin. Loads of healthy dishes with all kinds of vegetables, the curry, foccachia and the minestrone were very good (as were all the other dishes, to be honest). Very homemade feel and home-ly ambiente, I think the British man who runs the place lives here as well. He kinda told all three of us different prices, but considering the variety of the food, 10-12€ incl. drinks (we had fresh berry smoothies and tea) is a steal, honestly.

Energy Vampire

The British employee at this place greeted me with an unexpected display of passive-aggressiveness, micro-aggressions, classism, and hostility. His comments were often mansplaining and patronizing; for instance, he said, "With that jacket, you look like a hobo."

I really love this place!

The first thing I got was a fresh pressed juiced! I ate from the buffet, there were 8 different warm meals, different salads (also with fruits), different sorts of bread and a soup. If you just want to eat one plate you pay less, but my choice was the buffet all you can eat for 10,50€. The owner gave me the WIFI password as he recognised that i want to work. Go there and support this cutie! 🫶🏼 #Veganuary

Pros: Healthy food, Cheap

Great vegan buffet

Delicious vegan food on a buffet. You can choose between one plate with as many dishes as you like (and fit on the plate) or all you can eat. Prices are reasonable and Michael is a great host.

Wonderful vegan food!

The owner and chef greeted us upon entry, and told us that we can have one plate full of food or all you can eat for 2 euros more. When we were there everything was vegan except the tatziki. The food was excellent. The owner/chef was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dessert cost extra, and well worth it! Very nice, calm atmosphere, with soft yet interesting music from the owner/chef's collection.

Pros: Excellent vegan food, Friendly owner/chef, nice atmosphere

Thanks for the review Mitch(?), and I am happy that you enjoyed Crunch! I'm looking forward to you all making the trek from Neukoln to Moabit again Sir. Dont forget we have a great beach closeby around the corner at Plotzensee in case you fancy a dip and a nap after lunch!

My new favourite discovery in Berlin

Finally someone was not afraid to play with spices.

An amazing, vegetably experience in Moabit-Berlin. Each buffet dish spoke with its own character. The homemade bread even reminded me of my grandmother's childhood bread. Invigorating freshly squeezed juice and caramelized upside-down apple cake. Keep some space for the dessert even though all the buffet is wonderful.

Happiness on the taste buds!

This is the place if you want to eat homemade, diverse, delicious, filling, seasonal, creative food!
It is unique and I would definitely recommend it. Not only you get so many delicious dishes, but the atmosphere has so much of the real Berlin vibe: enjoy your food in a comfortable place and have funny interactions with people, what else can you ask for?

Updated from previous review on 2022-03-31

Pros: Many different dishes, A handful of spices, Healthy

Good price but not my type of food

I can't pinpoint exactly what I didn't like about the food but a lot of the options were not my taste. Some were good though. Maybe the dirty plates and interior made me feel that way. The owner is super nice though.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Affordable, Great host

Cons: Plates were not clean, Interior didn't give a good vibe

Delicious and filling

Delicious home cooked food. Everything was hot, tasted great, and incredibly filling. Everything was loaded up on vegetables.

One big thing is that this was purely vegan food, and not meat dishes made vegan.

Healthy fresh and delicious. If you are in Berlin, you need to check it out.

Pros: An entire vegan buffet , Lots of veggies, Healthy and delicious

Cons: Cash only

Delicious, and great atmosphere!

Great first impression as you come in, as the the owner makes time to welcome you. The atmosphere is super relaxed; the place as well really seems part of the neighbourhood, which is important and a big plus.

The food was plenty, many different delicious veggies and protein made up in ways it wouldn't normally occur to us. (The focaccia was really really tasty I wish I had some more right now..)We also spoiled ourselves with coffee and cake, because we didn't quite wanted to leave:)

The owner is the chef, attends tables, greets the neighbours as they pass by, and clearly puts a lot of thought and love in this little venture. We just loved the chillness of it all, the yummy food, very fair prices, and a feel of utopia. Very recommended!

Super leckeres Essen und Geheimtipp für Vegetarier und Veganer !Tolle Bedienung!

Sehr leckeres Essen. Fast alles vegan!! 8,50€ für All you can eat inklusive Brot, Salat und Suppe sind einfach der Hammer! Und dazu auch super gesund größtenteils. Die Bedienung war super freundlich und hat uns auch noch zum Lachen gebracht.

Ich komme definitiv wieder!

Good food and friendly staff

We went here for lunch on our way to our hotel. It was an really yummy buffet with different dishes, soup and bread which is all vegan except for one dish. The resturant has a really home like feeling and down to earth atmosphere. The owner was extremely friendly and had a really nice vibe. Would really recommend eating here you will not regret it.

Wholesome, varied and good value

We came here when we visited Berlin last summer and were really impressed with both the price and the selection of dishes, all homemade on the day by the owner. Really homely food, perfect for a hangover! I will be back to Crunch Kantine if I ever return to Berlin.

Pros: A wide selection of dishes , Everything homemade

super lecker, aber nicht immer den öffnungszeiten entsprechend geöffnet

super lecker und sehr nett.
allerdings bin ich letztens mit einer freundin extra von neukölln nach moabit gefahren um dort zu essen und wir fanden dann an der tür die info, dass heute geschlossen sei. wäre schön, wenn auf sonderschließungen auf der website hingewiesen würde!
also vielleicht besser vorher dort anrufen und nachfragen, wenn man die crunch kantine aus einem anderen stadtteil extra anfährt...

Fantastic fresh food

This must be one of the best veggie restaurants I have ever been to - and that says a lot.
Everything was super fresh and delicious. I’m writing this right after finishing the vegan apple tarte and I have to put my phone down now to enjoy the amazing fresh ginger & lemon tea. 100% recommend this place!

Pros: Fresh whole foods, Lovely staff, Affordable
