Good morning! (Pretend it's morning.) Care for some brunch? We find ourselves in the trendy Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood where cute shops and cafes abound; quiet cobbled streets from a bygone era, spared during the war, lead you past stately white facades and towards dainty, quiet parks. Or towards delicious vegan eats! Hans Wurst (no wurst!) is an all-vegan cafe-restaurant-club, depending on the time of day; sometimes there's music. It's small and cozy, the weekend brunch is delicious, and there are always a number of cakes on hand.
If you get there at the right time, one will just be coming out of the oven -- is that strawberry poppy I spy? Such a heavenly combination must be sampled!
It's so cute and cozy that you'll want to come back for dinner -- oh, and you won't regret it. Look around yourself, look outside, pick out something from the changing, in-season menu.
How about a little broccoli soup? Or a lot. It's deliciously creamy and if you've got any affinity for the taste of broccoli, you'll be in floret-heaven. Just the right level of viscosity, you couldn't ask for a better soup to dip some hearty dark German bread into. Or spoon daintily like a lady, the choice is yours!
What shall we have now? Seitan Steak, hmmm. Why not? The guy sitting at the tables outside just got one and it looks divine. And then, it comes...
Where has this been all my life? This was without a doubt the juiciest, most melt-in-your-mouth, just-the-right-amount-of-succulence, full-flavored piece of edible I've ever had the pleasure of chewing. A shame I can't feed this to everyone alive. It would shut off the death-trade within moments.
So go here, go here often. If you want brunch, hit up their scrumptious buffet. If you want dessert, stop by whenever. If you've a hankering for a decatent dinner that won't burn holes in your wallet, come by after six. If you want booze, stagger on over in the evenings. Sometimes they have gigs, Hans Wurst also has a foot in the Berlin music scene. Really, come by even if you just want some cute buttons or little handmade trinkets, they've got that, too.
And if you long for a steak that wasn't once part of a living, feeling fellow earthling, buy yourself a plane ticket right now.
There's nothing I would change about Hans Wurst. Except maybe bending time and space so I could eat there whenever I wanted.

The rest of Berlin in some other post, Hans Wurst deserves its very own.
I really love Hans Wurst. Whenever I am in Berlin and have the chance, I go there.
