Delicious and cheap - Edit
We popped in for dessert and were really, really happy we did! We shared a huge piece of Himbeerekäsetorte (raspberry cheesecake) and it was so delicious (and also cheap, especially compared with Symbiose). The frosting was super creamy and there were lots of layers of cake and frosting and cheesecake cream and raspberries. It was similar to a Victoria sponge cake. We’re looking forward to going back and trying everything else on the menu!
Read moreIt’s not a very big place, so it would probably be difficult to go there with a group.
Update 13 May 2018:
We went back for lunch and the seitan burger with extra avocado was great, as was the Taxi wrap (vindaloo curry in a burrito shell). Both were flavorful and had nice textures: the burger was kind of crispy on the outside and softer on the inside, and the burrito shell for the wrap was toasted. The banana chocolate cake was also really good with two kinds of creme on top. Yum!

Dog-unfriendly! - Edit
We have two dogs, that often travel with us. In this restaurant we couldn't take them in, but they were in a baby-carriage, which isn't a problem in most of the restaurants. Our motto is: "Love me, love my dog". So we went away. Dog

The Deli is such a small place, I cannot imagine a carriage, with babies or dogs, standing in there.

One of my favourite burger places - Edit
A small and modern restaurant with very good food. Offers burgers, sandwiches, wraps, soup of the week, salad, French fries and sweet potato fries as well as vegan cake. Even my meat-loving family members love their food.

Awesome food! - Edit
Amazing burgers, wraps and desserts! Tiny place with two tables or so where you can't stay for very hours during the meal time but always has delicious food to enjoy. The price is also quite affordable.

Very small, modern place - Edit
A small (10 seart max), modern place in the punk part of town. 15--20 mins from central train station by public transport; easy to reach. Food is fresh and good. Not esoteric. Lotsa lemonades & eco beer. Few dishes, all tasty. Quite garlic-free, too! Fine environment. Cakes & coffee. Lady behind bar seemed stressed for unknown reasons.
Read morePros: Modern, very nice food, w/o garlic, easy to reach
Cons: Very sharp business hours

very recommended fast food deli! - Edit
I wonder why some reviews are rather on the negative side as I could not experience things like unfriendly service or bad smell. Actually quite the opposite.
Read moreVery decent size and taste, good value for money, very efficient and fast service!
Downside definitely is that - though all food is vegan and clearly mentioned - they offer cow's milk for coffee. Very strange and the only thing that keeps the whole place from being vegan.
Pros: fast, efficient service, good value for money
Cons: selling cow's milk despite being already vegan-onl

epic desserts - Edit
If you like vegan cheesecakes, definitely go here. I've been a couple of times & have tried or seen red currant baked cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, speculoos cheesecake, all 3€ or less. Burgers are decent & cheap too, prepare to be fat! Vegan iced coffee is also good.

nice but nothing for me - Edit
ive visited leipzig and looked for nice vegan places to eat - deli is a nice small place with friendly staff. the offer mainly burgers and some desserts but unfortunately they didnt have any gluten free option so i couldnt have anything. what was weird - they call themselves vegan yet have a cow milk option for a coffee and a cheese sause..
Read moreall in all i guess theres still no big "movement" of gluten free options in germany.
Pros: nice interior, friendly staff
Cons: small place, not vegan, no gluten free options

Small but good - Edit
Deli for sure isn't the place you'd visit for having a candle light dinner, but they serve a variety of quick and good fast-food-style dishes. I had the Tempeh Burger which wasn't exactly mind-blowing, but that's probably because I noticed that I am not a big Tempeh fan. My friend ordered a Naan sandwich stuffed with beans and tofu, and he was very satisfied (even though he's rather sceptical about vegan food). I guess I should have taken the Naan sandwich, too.
Read moreThe fries were really good, crispy and not too much fat. My advice: try the spicy sauce with your fries if you want something extraordinary! It tasted exactly like bacon chips. (I hope it was vegan, though...)
Pros: Good menu with many options, Tempeh, tofu, seitan, soy steak availabl, Awesome sauces
Cons: Small and sometimes hard to find a seat, Probably not very healthy food... ;)

Great food, quick service, quite small - Edit
I stumbled across this place with a sign saying 'veganer', so I went in. Most or all of the food items are vegan, but they have milk options at the coffee bar. I didn't look at the desserts, so I'm not sure.
Read moreI had the seitan burger (which was quite big!), fries with peanut sauce and a cola for about 7€, and I was definitely full. The burger was really good and offered something different than what you typically get from veg fast food places, so I liked that.
There is enough seating for 8-10 people inside, but many people were getting take-away. I was in and out in 5 minutes, so if you're in a hurry, this is a great place to grab food on the way.
Pros: Cheap, Fast, Clean
Cons: Limited seating

Sensational veggie burgers. - Edit
Until my visit to Deli last week (while playing Leipzig Goth Fest) the best veggie burger I'd ever had was at a beachside cafe in Perth, Australia that I've forgotten the name of.

It's ok - Edit
I was there about 4-5 times now and tried different things, mostly burgers. But start at the beginning: everytime I entered the place it smelled like hell like overheated fat, this strong smell, you know? After 1 minute in the place all your clothes smell like this, that's not a nice first impression but if the food is good.... It's not that I expect a super luxus service in such a place but friendly people at the desk would be nice. That never happened exept 1 time.The food itself: Well, it's a normal takeaway in the end, a lot of salt and fat, mayonaise and so. The burger bread is very good but for the price (wich was raised a while ago) there could be a bit more content, salad, soy-steak or whatever you choose. I am happy that the place is there but it needs some improvement I think.

Nice place, but food needs improvement - Edit
While I really like the alternative atmosphere of the place,I did not enjoy the food itself.
Read moreI've ordered a soy steak plate, which if I recall correctly was around 5 euros. It came with a bit of salad(which I have to admit was quite good), lots and lots of fried potatoes, which were not of good quality and had tons of salts, Cabbage in Vegmayo, which was nice but a bit salty, tried tomato sauce, also with too much salt, and 4 small pieces of deep fried and salty textured soy.
For this specific item, I think there should be less fried, less oil, less oil, and more soy steak, as it really felt I ordered fried potatoes as the main dish...
Pros: Good Location, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Food needs improvements

Nothing Special, and NOT all vegan! - Edit
We were very hungry when we got to Deli, so it was unfortunate that the tiny place was so packed that one could barely move inside. There was seating for about 10-12 people, depending on how many people you were willing to squeeze in next to on the benches. We didn't know what to do at first because all of the seats were taken and we didn't want to eat standing outside in the cold, but luckily some people got up to leave and we jumped upon the seats they left.
Read moreThere was one woman at the register, taking orders, giving people their food, and sometimes disappearing into the back to help get the food out. It was unbelievably understaffed for a weekend night at dinnertime.
While we were waiting, I noticed that the drinks menu stated that all drinks could be made with either soy or COW's milk! What is a supposedly vegan restaurant doing serving cow's milk?! That was somewhat infuriating because it is just so unnecessary and cruel and not vegan at all.
I ordered fries with ketchup and a tempeh burger with dijonnaise and some african hot sauce on the side. The fries were nicely seasoned but they were not the nice homemade fries I'm used to at Yoyo and Vego Foodworld in Berlin. The tempeh in my burger was way over marinated and too salty to finish, but the overall flavor was good. My boyfriend ordered the chili, which had some nice herbs in it that gave it an interesting flavor and made it quite yummy, and "The Deli" sandwich, which was a huge disappointment. It was just a boring hummus sandwich that anyone could make at home.
We got filled up and got the hell out of there. Some of the food was good, some not so good, but the overall experience was pretty bad. And they really need to take the cow milk off the menu.
Pros: hmmm
Cons: cramped seating, under staffed, average food
