Our daily porridge

Or health conscious parents taught us quite early that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that we should tuck in. When we realised that it meant tucking into a bowl of sticky oatmeal everyday we weren’t too impressed. But that was before there was Haferkater to shake off the grainy power-chow’s dusty image and instantly become our favourite breakfast location. The cosy wooden hut is a bright spot on Friedrichshains busy Boxhagener Straße and truly enriches the culinary landscape: it serves the very best porridge outside of Scotland. AND WE ABLOLUTELY LOVE IT. Childhood friends Anna, Leandro and Levin have lifted underrated porridge to a whole new level and have given it the appreciation it deserves in the spotlight of a healthy diet. Haferkater enhances the filling vegan, lactose and gluten-free British dish with seasonal ingredients such as fruity berries, homemade caramel or crunchy granola turns it into a luxury breakfast. The small menu is so nutritious and the lovingly created oasis so relaxing that it comes as no surprise that Haferkater was awarded the Gastro-Gründerpreis 2015 (gastronomy start-up prize).
