1. Funk You Natural Food
Instagrammables’ top choice. Located on the fashionable Rosenthaler strasse in Mitte, Funk You Natural Food has successfully made its name out there in the city. The orange outdoor decor with its minimalistic logo design well represents its philosophy of loving nature and eating healthy. They serve refreshing acai bowl, grain bowl, sandwich, smoothies, and amazing coffee all day. Although their food is made out of the healthiest ingredients, they never sacrifice the taste. I went to this place for consecutive five days without getting a little bit tired of the food. It is the variety of choice, and also its modern decor that makes you want to linger all day around.
#Spoontip: Don’t forget to try their toasted whole grain bread with peanut butter and banana. It totally blowed my mind since I was never a fan of peanut butter, but its lightness and mild sweetness enhanced by the fresh banana would help start your day with a happy mood.

Its cute logo with an egg at the top and its modest slogan “Probably the best omelets in town”, Omelegg has shown its dedication to offering Berliners the tastiest omelet.

4. Daluma
Located next to the Rosenthaler U-Bahn station, Daluma is the top place to spend thirty minutes refilling your afternoon energy before going back to work. The lovely names were given to each of their smoothies win foodies’ hearts. Chochoc crave made of raw cacao, avocado, banana, and dates offer a light sweet flavor. Get Your Greens smoothie made of spirulina, pineapple, spinach, and dates brings numerous nutrients and an earthy flavor that refreshes your body.
5. PHO-Noodle Bar
After a tiring workday, nothing could be more fulfilling than a bowl of warm pho. In Berlin, it is super hard for you to leave without having a taste of pho because Vietnamese restaurants are everywhere. The chewy noodles and the richness of the soup texture completes the day. Also, don’t ever miss their sugar cane drink. Nobody can resist the natural sweetness and freshness. Sugar cane is also super healthy as it is alkaline in nature and good for our digestive system!
