HAPPENPAPPEN in Hamburg

Of all the vegan breakfast/brunch spots I know in Hamburg, this is the best in my opinion! The food is exceptional – dishes you wouldn't just eat at home – and tastes absolutely fantastic, a 10/10. I'd gladly come back anytime!

Super lovely and friendly service, fantastic vegan and varied food, got a table at the last minute even though it was full, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! 😍

We spontaneously decided to go to this place and I'm so glad we did. The people there were incredibly friendly, readily accommodated our requests, and knew which allergens were in the dishes. The food was absolutely delicious!! Serving burgers as bowls is such a cool idea. The burgers were huge and topped with amazing ingredients!

I discovered this my first day in the neighborhood, and it has become my breakfast/brunch place for this holiday it seems. Great taste, friendly people.

It was tasty but the hygiene could be better. Place is small but cozy.

Nice little shop with good vegan dishes. The food was delicious, the service was good and quick... prices reasonable, would gladly come again.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try something new! 😍 My dish (Cauliflower Benedict) was absolutely delicious! The menu isn't huge, and not everything is available at all times. It's not a big deal, but good to know. The service and the place were top-notch. Very cozy! And only the best stickers in the restroom! 😅🥳😍

The best vegan restaurant in Hamburg. Everything is prepared with so much passion 🤩 we're always impressed. The menu really appealed to us this winter. The burgers are also great 🍔

Amazing! Very tasty, all vegan, and very friendly service ^.^ Prices are also okay.

Delicious vegan dishes. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms :)

Heaven! Everything tastes so incredibly good and fresh! Highly recommended! Thank you!! :)

Great vegan place, we went there for brunch. We had a reservation for Sunday morning, everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious.

Thank you! Best seitan burger I've ever had! Perfect sauces and the bread was amazing! Delicious! The service was very friendly and the homemade lemonade was delicious! Highly recommended!

Great service, delicious food, all vegan, right by the Schanze.

Cool place with nice vibe. All vegan. They have some cakes and sweets too. Their lemonades are really good.

Small, cozy restaurant, very friendly and cheerful service, and delicious fresh food.

Very tasty but a bit expensive, very nice staff :))

Very, very friendly staff and the food was really great and delicious! I'd love to come back! Greetings from Frankfurt

Absolutely recommend it! Extremely delicious and the price is absolutely right.

Absolutely delicious! Try the cauliflower!

Cute cafe with very friendly service, completely vegan and with gluten-free options. The chimichurri grilled cheese sandwich was amazing :) We'll definitely be back.

Great food, delicious drinks, space 🫶🏼 Just a little cozy, but lovely.

The best vegan restaurant I've ever visited! Simply delicious—every dish was a delight. A super-friendly team and a fantastic chef ❤️ I'll definitely be back!

Super delicious burger bowl and friendly staff, we will definitely be back :)

I loved my lunch here. The perfect spot if you’re hungry after climbing to the top of the Bunker. Their chimichurri grilled cheese sandwich was tasty! The waitress was friendly and helpful. The vibe is relaxed. Great vegan spot in Hamburg, definitely recommend!

Dirty chai hits hard in a different way. Highly recommended! The food is also delicious across the board.

Whatever happened to our favorite place for delicious poke bowls? The colorful autumn bowl consisted of cucumber and green salad, rice, and pumpkin. A bit of bland sauce on top? That was much, much better! What a shame...

Loved everything about this place, especially the food! Sooooo delicious. I’m not vegan, but I am vegetarian and this was so good. I got one of the bowls and it was light and fresh and healthy. I loved the lentil patty in it. The whole rest of the time we were in Hamburg I wanted to go back and have another meal here because it was just so tasty. This was probably my favorite restaurant of all places we tried while in Hamburg, including much more pricier places.

We ordered a Massaman curry today and got a cereal bowl full of potato soup for 14 euros! Barely seasoned, no vegetables other than potatoes, thin as water, and far from a curry. A real shame. The waiter I confronted with my criticism was very friendly but had the attitude: "You ordered this stuff, so you pay for it." Oh yeah, a little dressing on the salad would have been nice, too.

Super nice, super beautiful, and super delicious burgers. I can recommend it to anyone looking for a good vegan restaurant or café!

Super nice and totally delicious

Food was okay, service good, atmosphere rather loud.

Looking for delicious vegan food in St. Pauli? Don't miss Happenpappen! A manageable, high-quality, and delicious selection.

Super delicious cake! I especially recommend the Snickers cake.

Lovely grilled cheese sandwich!

Absolutely lovely people there, really good café. The sandwich and cake were also incredibly good, and all for a pretty fair price.

Super delicious brunch. We had the salmon bread and cauliflower Benedict, and both were so! so! good!

Cute, alternative restaurant with a large selection, including vegan options. The service was very friendly, and it was a very cozy place to sit and eat.

The menu is smaller, but there's something for everyone, including more unusual dishes. There was a bit of a wait to order, but the food arrived super quickly, tasted excellent, and the service was super friendly!

I had a dish from the lunch menu there for lunch. It was delicious and the portions were plentiful. The staff were super friendly and quick to respond when I needed anything. You can sit outside in the shade.

Always good! Everything's vegan – my personal favorite is the chocolate cherry cake :)

Great veggie food in a nice and laid back location. Food is good but portions are not super big and I paid €20 for a bowl and a lemonade, which seemed a bit too high for what you get...

During our trip to Hamburg, we were quickly looking for a place where we could eat vegan and gluten-free. "HAPPENPAPPEN" was quickly recommended to us, and we were thrilled. From the very beginning, the service was always friendly and attentive. Bringing our dog along was no problem, and they even brought a water bowl. The food was amazing. Very tasty and incredibly filling. The value for money is definitely good! There are also recipes suitable for celiac patients, and they even offer gluten-free pasta, among other things. The restrooms are very clean and have a cool design. Ultimately, we were pleasantly surprised and absolutely thrilled. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back!

I have to say it tastes of air, disappointment and the lingering bitterness of wasted time because the food I ordered never arrived.

Super delicious food and very nice service! Happenpappen knows how to make vegan food alright! The food took awhile to arrive, though, so don't go here if you're pressed for time. I'd also recommend to make a reservation, as the place is quite popular, it seems (I understand why, though!)

Super juicy and flavorful burgers, prepared with love. And the carrot cake for dessert! Delicious! Very friendly owners too 🫶

The quiche was very good, the side salad barely had any dressing on it. Lunch price: €13.90, which is something you have to be willing to pay. I was also not informed about a €1.90 surcharge for a small tzatziki dip, which is unacceptable.

Lunch was delicious and freshly prepared. Great selection, and especially plenty of gluten-free options on the lunch menu. <3

Good vegan restaurant in St. Pauli. Super friendly staff 😍 everything is homemade. Highly recommended.

Cozy place with super delicious vegan burgers and side dishes.

Stumbled upon this place during lunch time and ordered the grilled cheese sandwich. Although it was well made, the food was not to my taste. Considering the small portion I think it was fairly expensive.

Great burger, service is super nice. Sides and sauces are very original and delicious. Will come back!

Incredibly delicious and beautifully presented! If we're in the area, we'll definitely be back! ❤️

The food and soda were incredibly delicious. We'll definitely go there again.

Unfortunately, the prices are for the high-income crowd, and the portions are sparse. The food is very fresh and of high quality.

Overall: Cozy and Tasty Vegetarian/Vegan spot but with smaller portions. A warm, welcoming place with a calm vibe. The food was fresh and full of flavor—simple, satisfying vegan dishes done right. Portions were on the smaller side, but everything tasted great. Perfect for a relaxed meal, just don’t come starving! (Else just order more ;))

Heerlijk vers gemaakt eten... We aten de curry bowl en de grilled cheese sandwich als lunch. Ook de hond kreeg water... Vriendelijke bediening.

I discovered Happenpappen spontaneously while passing by because I had an appointment nearby. I ordered a small curry bowl and an iced matcha latte, and both were delicious! The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I'll be back :)

Vi besøgte Happenpappen i St. Pauli – en lille, autentisk vegetarrestaurant med mulighed for at sidde både inde og ude. Stedet har en afslappet atmosfære, og betjeningen var venlig og effektiv. Vi fik en vegetarburger, som var veltillavet og serveret uden lang ventetid. Maden var enkel og velsmagende – et rigtig fint sted at nyde et grønt og afslappet måltid i hyggelige omgivelser.

It was a bit more expensive, but I've rarely eaten so well. All the ingredients were fresh and beautifully presented. The location was great, and the service was excellent.

It's small but nice. The food is very good.

The place is small and cute. I arrived at 12:15 PM on Thursday, and within an hour, the tiny space was so crowded that while the food was absolutely delicious, the experience wasn't pleasant. Regardless, the lunch bowl and vegan cheese are amazing!

We tried the burger and the burger bowl and were thrilled! The food was served very quickly, and we were completely satisfied.

Delicious vegan dishes and a large selection of cakes, super friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. It's just a shame that there's no attractive outdoor seating area on the busy street. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

We went there for the first time, and it was perfectly fine, but nothing more than that. The staff were super friendly and kept a good eye on everything, but the tables could have been cleaned better—they were very sticky, which was really unpleasant. The two burgers (one classic and one bowl) were quite tasty, but the seitan patty was quite dry, and the burger came without any side dish, so the portion was quite small. We ordered potatoes as a precaution. The whole-wheat bun wasn't really our thing. It wasn't exactly cheap, but that's Hamburg, after all. The bottom line: You can go there without hesitation, but we probably won't eat there again; there's too much vegan competition these days.

The food was quite good, but the portions were abysmally small. I find €15 for a portion of pasta that fits in my hand a bit cheeky. Perhaps they could offer different sizes here… €20 for a proper portion (twice the size) would be more appropriate. Unfortunately, there was no response to our feedback on site.

Delicious vegan food, reasonable prices.

Expensive, but very tasty, and the vegan "cheese" was very good. In our case, the wait was incredibly long, but the staff remained friendly.

Always delicious. Very friendly staff. The sandwiches are also amazing, gluten-free.

Super cute and good restaurant, 10/10 would recommend :)

Really super nice place to eat healthy and tasty, definitely recommended, smooth and friendly service. Nice interior, chill place.

During our visit to Hamburg, we wanted to try a restaurant we'd never tried before, so we chose HappenPappen. Even though it's relatively unassuming from the outside and more reminiscent of a student bar inside, the food there is really good. I tried the vegetable quiche with chive dip and a slice of carrot cake for dessert. Both were delicious 🤤 All in all, I highly recommend it, especially because of the friendly and attentive staff.

Incredibly delicious! We didn't expect that at all, because the presentation is very “home made”, and that's exactly how it tastes, but just perfectly prepared, both in terms of the combination of ingredients, as well as in spices and consistency. They both had the moussakka and it was really delicious, as was the salad with the incredibly creamy, yet light yogurt dressing. I could eat it every day. Very nice, honest, authentic and helpful service too

Good food at a cozy restaurant! Friendly staff. It's small so I strongly recommend making a reservation!

We ate very well here, although not cheap - but still within reason. And if I know that it is absolutely vegan, then I'll happily do it again

Best staff in Hamburg and great boss! Kind regards rocket <3

Sehr cooles kleines Bistro! Direkt in St Pauli gegenüber vom Bunker. Hier gibt es viele glutenfreie Optionen und auch sonst ist das Essen Mega lecker! Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Absolute recommendation! Super nice and attentive service, the quiche is a dream! We would love to come back 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good, varied sandwiches, lots of vegetables inside, friendly service. It's worth booking a table, there were no seats left around 12 on Saturday.

Super delicious food and great drinks. The employees are really all very nice and accommodating. Thank you very much for a lovely time

Warm beer and sluggish service. The sandwich was good enough.

For us, a meal at Happenpappen is an essential part of every visit to Hamburg. The food and drinks are phenomenal - this little oasis is a great place to relax and enjoy.

Bad service, long waiting times, no decent glasses, received the wrong bill. Absolutely zero number

Very delicious vegan food!! :)) Bowls, quiche, sandwiches, cakes, coffee, etc.… much of it is gluten-free. ☀️ Plus, it's a great location, of course, and it's nice and sunny during the day.

Super good food - absolute recommendation. Fresh food, nice service, good selection!

Unfortunately, the gluten free cake wasn't really separated from the other cake. The furnishings are simple but have charm. The service makes an effort! However, the furnishings as a whole seem ruter-rocked.

Unfortunately, there are currently no burgers, and the food selection is limited. The place needs a little more attention. The food was good, though.

The curry in this wonderful establishment is highly recommended

The food was amazing, my grandma loved it too <3 The nice waitress with the short, curly hair was very nice! I wish she'd gotten my number straight haha

Great sandwich!! And great curry!

Best Swedish apple pie I've ever had! Highly recommended vegan restaurant with changing dishes.

Incredibly good food. Great service and cozy atmosphere. Changing, seasonal menu. Everything vegan!!! I would give 6 stars if I could Insanely good food. Amazing service. Seasonal menu. And everything is vegan!!! I'd give 6 stars if I could.

Best sandwich (club sandwich) ever. Really incredibly good. The wait was worth it.

Good food but poor value for money Per: - Nice, ambitious, if slightly overwhelmed service Cons: - Relatively small portions - Very rustic atmosphere, with a very tight table situation - Prices are relatively high - >15€ for a simple sandwich is simply excessive

Very good vegan restaurant! The service was very friendly and the food came quickly. The bowls are delicious! The eggplant bowl is highly recommended and the ginger-lime lemonade was also very tasty. A visit is worth it!

I read the recommendation for HAPPENPAPPEN in a supermarket magazine several years ago. From then on it is mandatory to stop by on every trip to Hamburg. Now several times a year. DEAR 🫶🏽 Thanks to Cathy and team 💚

Service top & accommodating, food baba, location relaxed, atmosphere casual, prices a bit pricy - but the quality is right. Always worth a detour. 🌻 Afterword: Because guests complained in reviews about the lack of child-friendliness. During my stay today, I sat for an hour behind a family whose child was constantly and loudly kicking the glass with his rubber boot. The service tolerated it, as did the rest of the guests. Unfortunately, the parents most of all. Life is perspective.

Chic, small vegan restaurant with delicious food. We had the bowl and the large salad, both were delicious and really filling. Price, performance is ok. Service was nice. It was just a shame that you had to go in to pay and everything was only cleaned sporadically. There was a lot of herb in the salad, which I personally don't like that much and in my opinion could be replaced with another "more unusual" ingredient. Some bread with the salad and the bowl would have been great. All in all, still great!

Loved it! Great taste & service. The burger salad bowl I ordered was drenched in sauce though

Very exciting and varied menu, nice service and really tasty - although unfortunately quite expensive for my taste for the size of the portions, for example just under 15 euros for the Egg Benedict (two toastie halves with (albeit special) toppings are a bit expensive. Still recommended !
