Tasted like posh..

I really wanted to love this fully vegan bakery.

I visited several of their stores in the last few days. First I came to on about 14, and it was empty. Then I came to a different one on the same day. Again empty. Then I came on another day at the afternoon, only a couple of pastries left. I took one with ricotta and it was pretty mediocre and dry. Not interesting, not great at all.

So I've decided to give them one last proper chance, at this specific store in the morning. This time they had plenty of beautiful pastries and I took their pistachio girella.
As pretty as it looked it was just really disappointing. Huge pastry, very little cream which didn't taste like pistachio at all. Not the right color either. Maybe it's diluted? I don't know. The pastry felt like a sugary dry dough with some little liquid fat inside. That's it. That's not enough for me. Definitely not for the pretty high price.

I've visited tons of vegan bakeries before. This one just feels posh. Great for pictures, less great for the taste buds..

Sehr gute Backwaren

Etwas versteckte, voll vegane Bäckerei mit überschaubarer Auswahl an Produkten. Neben diversen standart Kaffee-Varianten (inkl. Hafer oder Sojamilch) finden sich eine kleine, aber sehr feine Auswahl an süßem und herzhaftem Gebäck. Die von uns getesteten Produkte waren hervorragend.

Super lecker!

Die Creme, mit denen das Gebäck gefüllt ist, ist sehr sehr lecker, kaum zu glauben, dass es vegan ist.
Es gibt sehr viele Optionen, sowohl süß als auch herzhaft. Wir haben ein bisschen von allem probiert und waren begeistert.

Great baked treats

I've been to their original location a couple of times on previous visits and always enjoyed the food. I got a pistachio girella for takeaway and it was delicious. Great pastry and generously filled with pistachio cream. The selection of sweet baked goods here seemed smaller than at the other branch but there was a lot more seating.

Einmal reicht nicht 🌟💫✨

Wow! Eine der besten veganen Bäckereien, die ich je ausprobiert habe 😍
Von herzhaften, saftigen Leckereien bis hin zu süssen, kleinen Wundern 🥹 unglaublich gut!!
Wir mussten am nächsten Tag direkt nochmals hin...

Great!

I knew this place from their other venue so already knew what to expect: taste and quality. I am happy the are opening more venues and showing that vegan desserts can be tasty as well. I recommend specially their pistaccho girella and danish pastry.

Tasty baked goods!

The baked goods all very good. But basically it’s a different shape of puff pastry with a different creamy filling.

We tried cornetto filled with vanilla cream, another pastry topped with blueberries and a round shaped pastry with pistachios.
Would come back to try some savory options. But then again, there are many other options in Berlin available.

Great coffee and vegan pastries

Friendly staff, tons of options that are all vegan. We got a pistachio cream pastry and some sort of Sicilian ricotta pastry. Both were excellent! We asked staff for recommendations and they were very helpful. Some nice outdoor seating as well

Pros: Vegan pastries , Good cappuccinos and lattes, Friendly staff

Spectacular, so good!

This place knocks it out of the park, the pizza focaccia was unbelievably good.. the dough was so perfectly soft and crispy at the same time. Our pastry was also delightful.

Very laid back atmosphere and it's in a great location!

Be sure not to skip this place, it's such a lovely bakery.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great location

Vegan pastry heaven

A wide range of sweet and savoury pastry. Lots of options that are hard to find vegan versions of. Tasty and not too sweet

Nothing but love

The pastries are delicious, I wouldn't know what to recommend most. Also this location is often very empty. You can Co work there, they have a lot of space and outlets, only no wifi. The staff is incredibly friendly.

Not to be missed

If you're vegan, in Berlin, and have a pulse, these pastries are a must. Diabetic? It's a worthwhile way to go out.

Italian Bakery Sweets - all vegan

OK. First of all, there are also some hearty pieces. Pizza et al.

But the real stuff is sweet.

A dream come true

The best breakfast place I tried. Not only sweets but also salty small focaccia and pizza focaccia-style as per the italian bakery tradition.

The biggest The Sanctuary location

The most spacious of the The Sanctuary locations in Berlin, with the same great Italian offerings. We had a very nice, no frills espresso, a really nice iced chai tea that wasn't too sweet and an Italian pastry that tasted like a giant filled christmas cookie. Very friendly service, just not a big fan of the loud music and the noisy chairs. But I'll be back.
