Guide to the Best Vegan Cheese in Berlin
Last updated: February 18, 2025
How many niche blog posts can I possibly write about vegan food in Berlin? So far, we’ve covered tapas, cake, dessert, brunch, ice cream. . . and now, cheese!
I’m not vegan, but I do love good food — especially when it’s both delicious and sustainable. Berlin’s vegan food scene has come a long way, including for cheese lovers (or cheeze lovers, if you prefer). Here are a few of my favorite spots, fully plant-based ones will be labeled with a ‘🌱.’
Jane & The Jam
Color me impressed. Jane & The Jam is my new go-to spot for vegan cheese in Berlin. For the full experience, go for Jane’s Board (€38), which you can order vegan to receive a stunning spread of rich, spreadable vegan cheeses, plant-based meats, fresh fruit, nuts, and olives. It’s beautifully arranged on a long wooden board, adorned with edible flowers, and easily serves four to five people, making it a steal for tasting some of the best vegan cheese in the city.
Every bite was a hit, but the blue cheese? Scarily spot-on. Beyond the cheese, you’ll find thoughtfully curated wines, delicious sides, and a bright, inviting atmosphere, plus a mini shop stocked with luxe food items. Be sure to order a side of their crispy bread, you’ll want it for all that incredible, spreadable plant-based cheese.

Trivitys 🌱
If you’re in the mood for a cheesy brunch, Trivitys is your place. Be sure to order their cheese plate, which comes with three squares of spreadable cheese, cream cheese, nutritional yeast, more spread, fresh salad, and homemade bread. Spread the cheese on the gluten-free bread provided and you’re in for a tasty bite.
Their avocado toast is also a solid choice. Gluten-free bread topped with smooth fermented cashew cream and avocado slices, then sprinkled with cashew parmesan. It comes served with a side of beetroot and horseradish chutney, plus sprouts. Delicious!

Alaska 🌱
Alaska Bar is one of my favorite vegan spots in Berlin and one of the biggest reasons as to why is because of their incredible cheesy plates. Their almond ricotta is a must, creamy and delicious, and served with grissini, mushrooms, and pesto. The almond feta is also tangy and rich, it comes served with artichoke. I also always order their carrot lox plate which is plated on smooth cream cheese and bread. Luckily, Alaska Bar is a tapas bar so you can order a few plates and try a bit of everything with your companions. You simply can’t go wrong here.

Gemello 🌱
This incredible all-vegan pizza shop serves up some of the best plant-based cheese around, all made in-house, of course. For a unique bite, try The Posh, a pizza that channels a French cheese board with sour cream, pickled pear, vegan brie, cranberry jam, walnuts, and sage. The vegan feta, crafted from marinated tofu, is also worth a try. I’ve yet to take a bite of their classic mozzarella, but honestly, it’s hard to go wrong here.

Aera
Aera serves up the best vegan grilled cheese I’ve ever had. My friend (who’s my vegan foodie partner in crime in Berlin) and I were basically in awe the whole meal. I don’t know how they do it. The cheese emulates rich and slightly sharp cheddar, and the flavor profile is very layered, I felt like I was noticing something new with each bite. It’s a fantastic grilled cheese, regardless of being vegan or not.
The grilled cheese is also seasoned with fresh rosemary, and the bread used is sourdough and gluten-free. If you have a little extra room they also have a seasonal vegan galette that I like. The one we tried was topped with pear.

Emma Pea 🌱
Emma Pea is home to perhaps my favorite mac and cheese in Berlin. It’s creamy, topped with fried and green onions, and downright cheesy. Highly recommend! They’re a fully plant-based spot. They also have quesadillas and nachos with cheese sauce on the menu, but I’ve yet to try those.
Revaler Straße 99 | Friedrichshain
Etc.
Let me know if you have a recommendation for me! I’ve heard that Brammibal’s has a pretty good grilled cheese so I hope to try that soon and report back.
