ABC - Allans Breakfast Club & Wine Bar in Berlin

A nice place, with good service and good food. One of the best places to have brunch in Berlin.

Enjoyed a memorable evening with delicious cocktails and exceptional service. The server was super friendly and attentive, and the bar owner Allan really created a truly warm and inviting atmosphere 😀. Spending the evening there was amazing thanks to the fantastic ambiance and expertly crafted drinks!

The male Server was extremely rude, I politely asked him if there were any tables free and he said do you see any?! This is after waiting for 30 min., then we got seated in a crammed corner where while eating my elbows would touch my Friend. Also, the music was blaring, it was more like a bar. When the half burnt Toast came, it was just the Cherry on top that would convince us to never go back again. Over hyped for nothing! At best and with a big maybe, coffee while sitting outside! ABC you have let us down!!

Amazing brunch couldn’t recommend more

The food at Allans Breakfast Club is excellent. The service is also great 👍. The owner Allan is very personable. Probably the best breakfast you can get in Berlin!

Amazing brunch and the staff is so nice! Super recommended!

Hey, nice place: food was ok, not special, neither bad nor exciting. Location was nice too; Staff very nice and friendly. You can do it once, but I wouldn't do it again. Prices ok too. Pictures on the website and in Google Maps look much better than in reality.

Un delicioso restaurante de brunch en el corazón de Prenzlauerberg. Los cócteles son geniales, platos interesantes y deliciosos. Desde Kimchi gofres a huevos turcos. Una reserva es una necesidad o estar preparado para esperar los fines de semana.

Horrible eggs Benedict, cold and the sauce was sour like it was off. Staff beyond unfriendly, exactly like the owner who should fix his attitude (just enough to read replies here, don’t bother with a visit. So many better and honest places in Berlin. What is this city becoming.) What a disaster.

Amazing chef, the croque monsieur was perfect and the staff friendly. Recommended!

Great food and coffee. Recommended!!

The eggs benny with cured Salmon is one of the best egg Benedict dishes I’ve ever had. I couldn’t stop eating the hollandaise sauce. Even the chocolate fondant was a surprise and not your average neighbourhood chocolate dessert. I have already planned what to order the next time I am there. 10/10

Best brunch in Berlin, it’s worth the wait

A great place for a good brunch, original dishes, super friendly team, in short I will come back if I pass through Berlin

One of the most delicious breakfasts I've ever eaten. I had eggs Benedict with pulled pork. Absolutely amazing pork, super sauce, everything is just top notch. Very friendly staff.

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

I'm not really a person who eats warm breakfast but this was an absolutely great experience...

Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food and drinks. An all round awesome breakfast!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This was probably the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I reserved a table for 8 in advance as part of my birthday celebrations and we waited over 1h 30 for our food. No apologies or explanations except for when we asked about our food and when it would arrive. Food was ok when it finally did arrive, apart from 1/8 dishes which arrived cold. The worst part about the whole experience was actually the behaviour of the owner. He was so incredibly rude to me and the rest of the group, seeming not to care that we had been waiting hours for our food and simply responding with a ‘we are busy, nothing I could have done’. He then accused me of exaggerating the time we had been waiting and trying to shrug off the fact that we had reserved in advance by saying ‘from next weekend we won’t be taking any more bookings’. What? What does that have to do with the customers that are sitting in front of you today, waiting centuries for their food? He was misogynistic and sexist in his tone / the way he spoke to me and was incredibly patronising (as well as being unfathomably rude). It was vile. Please avoid.

The food was delicious. Atmosphere was just lovely and warm. But the service was unfortunately lacking in contrast. There was a man working there who was extremely rude, but the lady working there politely explained the payment methods to us. To provide context, the sign outside and the menu stated that Cashless options are available, but Cash was preferred. When we attempted to pay with our card, the man laughed at my boyfriend, saying it “clearly stated” that Apple Pay is the only cashless option available on the menu and the sign outside, which was a lie. My boyfriend was surprised and taken aback by his condescending attitude, and retorted that these were not stated. He proceeded to point across the street, stating that there is an ATM there, and left our table. I was surprised by his hostility. I was also confused about his attitude, and asked a lady why he would say card payment isn’t accepted when the menu and sign outside said otherwise. She explained that half of German bank cards, some American cards, and all Dutch cards are not accepted in their online payment portal. We ended up paying via cash. In conclusion, just bring cash when you come here, guys. It’ll save you the condescending attitude from a certain someone:)

Fantastic poached egg on a kimchi cheese waffle with grilled bok choy. Pleasant service and good drinks. I haven't had such a good brunch in a long time!

Very rich and acceptable price. We ordered the French bread, the poached hollows and the grill cheese sandwich. They don't let you split the bill and let everyone pay their own, which is super inconvenient for those who don't live in the city and don't bring euros.

It's been almost 2 years since I visited Berlin, and I almost never post reviews, but I felt the need to come on here and say that this was the best brunch I've had in Continental Europe. The French Toast was the best I've ever had. Looking forward to visiting Berlin again to go back to ABC.

Great food and super nice service !!

Everything about this place is amazing! Allan has really curated a delicious menu and beautiful atmosphere. An absolute must!

Very hospitable, unusual and special breakfast specialties, very well prepared and a host with great stories

Delicious food and ambience. The service is excellent 10/10!

Very tasty and good portion for the price, unfortunately overcrowded and difficult to reserve.

The best Eggs Benedict, super nice service. Top address 😊

Great brunch restaurant. Delicious food and super friendly staff. Had the baked eggplant and daddy toast and both dishes were incredibly tasty. The ABC toast is also recommended as a dessert. You can also share it easily.

Easily one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. The homemade smoked salmon eggs Benedict is a must. Very light flavors, and balanced consistency- cleaned the entire thing in 5 seconds. The french toast was next- very decadent, not overly sweet. The mascarpone took it to another level and complimented the peaches very very well- cleaned the entire thing in 10 seconds (needed to pace myself). Anyways, it is also nuzzled into a cozy, quiet, cobblestone street lined with green trees… just a must- try

Unpleasant atmosphere and arrogant staff. Not worth a visit

I like this place because I have a bit of a thing for sitting at tables right next to the area restaurants usually designate for people waiting on a table. Sundays are obviously best for this, and I wake up early just to beat the crowd. The food is alright, but the people watching — bah, gawd — it doesn’t get better. Although it does get a bit boring, who am I kidding. Prenzlauer Berg is full of the same type of person. But if I stop doing this, what will I have?

Good brunch, but service could be a bit better. We had to wait 20-30 minutes for our order to be taken.

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.

The breakfast was great, the coffee was delicious. The service was very attentive and friendly and helpful in advising on the great breakfast options. We had Shakshuka once and Daddy Toast with egg, just super delicious! It won't be the last breakfast here.

Highly recommend it for gluten free delicious food. One of my favo places for brunch with friends.

Great evening tonight with a nice blind test! Food and drinks are still very good. I’ll come back during my stay in Berlin and bring friends ! Thanks

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!

We were here for breakfast today. The food was delicious, but unfortunately the price-performance ratio wasn't right. The team was friendly but not particularly hospitable or interested.

Worth the walk and the wait. I can't remember when I've had a better breakfast

Delicious food and friendly staff, lots of vegetarian options.

Best brunch (my favorite dish there is the croque monsieur, so delicious), best people, best place, dog friendly. Can just recommend.

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.

Die junge Frau hat mir mein Granola immerhin auf den Tisch geknallt, war aber extra unfreundlich dabei. Der Kellner mit den dunklen Haaren war dagegen freundlich. Essen lecker wie immer. Bei den Wartezeiten lohnt der Besuch nicht mehr wie früher. Schade.

good food bad service. Slow, only one person working and card payments weren’t available. unhelpful staff

I love the place, but the seating policy sucks a bit as on a regular basis you wait quite a bit whilst there are a few empty tables. :(

Not so happy with the breakfast comparing to some other places in the zone. I had to tip because I didn’t have other option. Overrated.

We only had drinks. But staff very nice. Good atmosphere. Nice to sit outside

Always an amazing time! Love the rose cremant and the Bloody Mary.

convenient comfort food - croque monsieur highly recommended

Nice place - nice service - delicious breakfast

Gemütliches Frühstücks-Lokal in Berlin-Prenzlau. Glutenfreie und vegane Auswahl. Uns hat Eggs Benny Salmon und die Granola gut geschmeckt. Personal ist aufmerksam und freundlich. Gerne wieder

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

Super nice service staff. I recommend to book a table in advance to get a seat on the terrace! The coffee is very nice and the food is good

Too much time to wait, overpriced

A very popular brunch spot in P-Berg! Reservations are highly recommended on weekends via IG or FB. Allan is very efficient to get customers tables. Coffee was very good. I enjoyed the baked eggplant.

Completely overrated! The food came to the table cold. The taste is average at best, but the prices are quite high. For a “Perfect Day Time Drinking Spot” the selection of drinks is rather poor (very limited number of wines, no beer). You cannot pay by card or separately. With a lot of goodwill I can still give 2 stars: one for the nice service, the other for the free tap water. It's probably more of a place for hipsters to see and be seen or to take fancy photos but definitely not for good food. Edit after the bold answer: The owner probably can't handle criticism, immediately becomes personal and comes up with strange allegations (you can also see this in other reviews). Unprofessional & childish behavior! 1 star deduction.

Really really good. Reserve in advance. Totally worth it!

The food is relatively tasty, but you won't feel full at all and would be better off spending a lot of money at the Vietnamese restaurant next door. There is no waiting time and you just get full. Won't come back again.

Anyone who would like to sit at broken tables where the paint is peeling off and where cigarette ash can still be found in the cracks is in good hands. Oh and of course English is spoken (probably hip, the question of integration doesn't matter)

Klein tentje. Goede sfeer en leuk personeel! Ontbijt en koffie was goed! Zeker een aanrader voor als je leuk wilt ontbijten in berlijn.

Fantastiskt frukostställe för alla, med fina alternativ för både glutenintoleranta och veganer. Rekommenderas verkligen!

Super delicious! Best food. Really good. Tables could use new paint, you can get hurt. Staff nice, friendly and helpful.

Lovely place and service. For a brunch it's the price, could be a bit bigger the portion, but overall it's good. By card it's only one payment, which means one person needs to pay for the whole table. This is annoying as later you need to pay for others and so...

Nice place with shady terrace fresh bubbles and huge breakfast portions. Enjoy 😉

Great breakfast shop if you don't have anything else to do for the day. Great place to enjoy. Slightly higher price range

International breakfast specialties are offered, but unfortunately there are no regional offerings. The menu is difficult to understand for those with less gifted language and specialty connoisseurs. Unfortunately, the coffee drinks are only served in very small cups, which makes the whole thing a bit dry. The orange juice I ordered later (there was little choice here) took a very long time to arrive. Not really recommended. Angeboten werden internationale Frühstücksspezialitäten, leider gibt es keine regionalen Angebote. Die Die Speisekarte ist für weniger begabte Sprach-und Spezialitätenkenner kaum verständlich. Leider gibt es die Kafffeegetränke nur in sehr kleinen Tassen, was das ganze etwas trocken macht. Der nachträglich bestelle O-Saft (es gab hier wenig Auswahl) hat sehr lange auf sich warten lassen. Nicht wirklich empfehlenswert.

The ambience at the restaurant provided a perfect setting for a diverse and satisfying meal, complete with a well-presented and flavorful plate that catered to both the eyes and palate. The combination of crisp toast, creamy dips, tender poached eggs, a fresh salad with a pop of pomegranate, and decadent cheese pockets made for a delightful brunch experience. However, the coffee did leave something to be desired, perhaps due to it being a 100% Robusta blend, which might not suit everyone's taste preferences. Be aware that the restaurant is quite popular, especially around noon on Saturdays, so making a reservation is advised to avoid the wait. Overall, a visit here is recommended for a filling and aesthetically pleasing meal—just be sure to specify your coffee preferences!

Really liked the food, everything was honestly delicious and the staff is lovely! We were able to get a table for 5 without reservation pretty quick on a Saturday!

The “Daddy Toast” was a 10/10. The Shakshuka “Turkish Eggs” wasn’t really my thing, it lacked spice.

The food is delicious, meets my taste, the service is fast, but sometimes the waiter doesn't pay attention to the customers. I personally had to go to the waiter twice to order and pay. Everything else is good.

More than half of the tables are free. However, you are not allowed to sit at the tables that have not been reserved and you have to wait “behind the sign”. I think they make you wait extra to have a line. Mega unfriendly staff who simply didn't pay any attention to you. We waited 10 minutes and found it ridiculous with the free tables. Have gone.

Nice brunch Visited in February 2019

Everything was super tasty. Fast nice service. Relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely come back again and again.

we waited thirty minutes and it was so cold outside while waiting 🥲 and unfortunately couldn’t find what we expected from the taste. the waiter was really helpful tho.:)

Service is great! They are very welcoming and kind. Food was excellent and didnt have to wait long for anything.

Amazing food and good people, they noticed one of our poached eggs was cooked for too long and promptly brought a new one - without us even mentioning it. A+ service

The veggie Eggs Benny were on point 👌 Plus solid coffee!

Great place to eat, lovely and friendly service

The food, service and atmosphere were breathtaking. The food was so incredibly good, huge compliments to the chef! Definitely come back here!

Price performance ratio is absolutely fantastic!! All 3 dishes we ordered were absolutely heavenly and so were the drinks. 10/10!!!

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.

Thank you for this nice experience! This was our first visit and definitely won’t be the last!

We’ve been here several times and they are always solid. Great drinks and great food. Friendly service. Also, the last time we were there, they were doing a photo shoot and gave us a buch of the booze for free! I promise the cocktails tastes just as good when you actually have to pay for them.

This breakfast spot is alright, but nothing extraordinary. I tried the eggs benedict, but I wasn't a fan of the brioche buns. It tends to get overcrowded on weekends. Some people somehow manage to book tables in advance, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

15€ croque madame and eggs Benedict were nothing to write home about, especially considering the 15€ price tag. Coffee was burnt.

Good food and nice service. But without a reservation it is difficult to get a place.

Wasn't very special but not dirty either. The orange juice was way too sour, the French toast was almost tasteless and for a 'grilled cheese' we got 1 slice of bread with cheese on it, while normally there should be 2. If it had been a bit cheaper I would have said: 'okay', but we had to wait more than half an hour for that little bit of food plus had to pay quite a bit of money for what you didn't get.

When you reserve the table for bigger group a week ago and giving a tiny conjusted table with arrogant service is not what expected . I don’t have any complaints about their food, but the service and not able to give us spacious table sucks !!! Especially when you book it for a special occasion .

I keep coming back to this place. Again and again and again. In my opinion it's the best brunch in Berlin, but a nonconformist one at that. You'll find essg benny and a french toast but as a whole, the menu is full of crazy combos, flavour bombs and they're always adding new dishes. ABC, get ready to see me again in a few weeks !

Great food. Had the cheese and kimchi waffles and they were delicious. Maybe a slight overkill with the chili spice crunch, but overall a positive experience

Brilliant food and lovely service - had the Eggs Benedict with cured salmon and it was beautiful. Coffee arrived really quickly after ordering which was great. Lovely staff and lovely vibes.

Small, clear menu for a delicious nasty brunch. I love being here, the prices are right. Ingredients partly from other well-known Berlin bakeries or butcher shops, which are a synonym for quality.

We went here twice during the 4 days we were in Berlin and it was great! Really good choices on the menu, I couldn’t decide what to have as it all sounded great. The first time I had the aubergine and the second time I had the kimchi and cheese waffle. Both really nice, only thing I’d say is the aubergine was a bit undercooked/I prefer it much softer. But other than that, everything was really lovely!

Don't like the new menu. Felt bad after the food. Looks like a food poison for me - and that was the only place where I was eating for a day before it. And for that price... no, never. But the atmosphere was good and coffee tastes okay

I was a little underwhelmed by the food and service here because I expected more given how popular this place is. The dishes are heavily asian influenced and there aren’t as many options as you’d expect from a brunch cafe. The coffee isn’t great, definitely not Aussie standards. I had the kimchi waffle and it wasn’t too bad, but I don’t see myself making a return visit.

Excellent Sauce Hollandaise on the Eggs Benedict. Strong game on the Bloody Mary. Definitely a great brunch spot!

Had some amazing breakfast. We were with 4 and no reservation. It’s not recommended to do that. But they got us a table for 4 eventually, which was quite nice. The Prosecco was good too.
