ABC ALLAN'S on Postcard

"This worthy addition to Prenzlauer Berg’s prodigious array of breakfast and brunch options opened in 2015. The eponymous owner, a Frenchman who lived in Australia for several years and has worked at high-end restaurants in Berlin, evidently put his heart and soul into this personal project to make it stand out from the fray. In that, he has succeeded. Not only is the place immediately welcoming and friendly, it’s also interestingly decorated with beach and surfing paraphernalia. The food—from eggs Benedict to bagels with salmon to quinoa salad—is fresh, impeccably presented, and delicious. Breakfast is served into the late afternoon, after which the space transforms into an affable wine bar."

I’ve likely found my favourite brunch place in Berlin. The food is exquisite, I was frankly, quite blown away by the ABC Tasting Plate. Service, on the other hand, can be quite slow but I think that’s very common for brunch places anywhere in Berlin, especially on a weekend. Make a reservation or go early!

Love this little spot for brunch or lunch or just rosé. Decided to celebrate my birthday here because they’ve got a little bit of something for everyone and the quality of food is far superior to many other brunch spots around. Great outdoor seating get there early or be ready to wait on the weekend.

Yum! Loved the Croque Monsieur, French toast and the coffee. Friendly and helpful service too! Easily my favourite breakfast place in Berlin!

Coffee was really good. Turkish eggs were nice but the French toast was superlative. We finished eating French toast within seconds 😅

ABC had been on my brunch list for quite a while. The food was good but didn't exceed my expectations. The staff was friendly, though service was a bit slow, and unfortunately, they had run out of orange juice and other juice options that day. The shakshuka was a bit too spicy, which wasn't mentioned on the menu.

Food Quality: in general it was quite nice, and tasted like good quality, but yet something extra was missing for 5stars. The hot chocolate didnt feel very chocolatly, more like a hot milk with a bit of chocolate sauce. Portions: very nice portions. Good quantity of food. Drinks: good coffee, has typical cafe options, but would be nice to see some more lemonades. Price: $$ a fair price for the food received. Service: it was a mix of emotions for this. Staff was very nice during the service and always ready to assist. Towards the end we were rudely asked to leave fast as other people were waiting to come in. We had JUST received the bill and were waiting to be charged, and someone else came to ask us to pay quick and leave. We were already waiting to be charged, seemed rude and not the polite way to request this. Atmosphere: during summer, a beautiful terrace to sit outside. With cold weather its a bit more crowded inside. Highlights: brunch options are quite nice. Things to improve: reservation system is quite annoying. Only through social media. Normally, people have brunch with friends, and not being able to split the bill is a very negative point here. Payment Method: cash preferred, CC accepted with a judging face, and no splitting of bill

Great option for brunch! The menu has a variety of options for food and drinks, I had eggs Benedict and it was very tasty. Don't forget to make a reservation before, it's usually crowded on weekends.
