There are lots of friendly, plant-filled spaces in Berlin where one can eat, drink, work, or play in an urban jungle atmosphere, but these are our 9 favorites.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.21gramm.berlin\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">21 Gramm<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Hermannstra\u00dfe 179<\/li>\n<li>12049 Berlin Neuk\u00f6lln<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>A somewhat hidden oasis tucked into a reworked and renovated old Aussegnungs- or Trauerhalle (a funeral hall or cemetery chapel) at U-Bahnhof Leinestra\u00dfe, the atmosphere at 21 Gramm is cozy yet modern, with a touch of neoclassicism thanks to large, curved arch-supporting pillars. Plants hang gently from light fixtures and other pops of greenery make appearances throughout the space. With lots of outdoor seating on offer as well, a breezy spring lunch in the brick-lined Hof will have you feeling well-planted and relaxed as various trees, shrubs, and climbing vines rustle around you.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/avocadoclubberlin\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Avocado Club<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Holteistra\u00dfe 13<\/li>\n<li>10245 Berlin Friedrichshain<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>Taking its name from an all-things-avocado approach, this little restaurant first opened its doors near Boxi in Friedrichshain in January 2018 and touts a menu dedicated to the one-and-only creamy, green fruit. Enjoy dishes such as avocado filled ravioli, avocado and potato puree, and avocado falafel in the modern \u201cclub\u201d decked out with plenty of plants.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bonanzacoffee.de\/wordpress\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Bonanza Coffee Roasters<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Adalbertstra\u00dfe 70<\/li>\n<li>10999 Berlin Kreuzberg<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>For an excellent third wave pour over in a space that would please even the pickiest of aesthetes, Bonanza Coffee Roasters find itself off the main drag tucked in a quiet Hof that\u2019s near, but altogether perfectly distanced from, a small children\u2019s petting zoo featuring sheep, goats, and ponies. Thick leaved banana plants ruminate in the corners of the high-ceilinged space and among the tables tower fiddle leaf fig trees and smooth monstera plants. All sharing a verdant shade of dark emerald, the color palette is rounded out by lush green window sills.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.selig.berlin\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Caf\u00e9 Selig<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Herrfurthplatz 14<\/li>\n<li>12049 Berlin Neuk\u00f6lln<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>Since May 2017, Selig has been pleasing the palates of residents in Schillerkiez with a variety of dishes for breakfast and lunch including a\u00e7ai bowls and paleo granola, huevos rancheros and pulled pork sandwiches. Communal oak tables gather diners together between well-placed plant boxes and large windows offering a view of Herrfurthplatz.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chottoberlin.weebly.com\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Chotto<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kollwitzstra\u00dfe 84<\/li>\n<li>10435 Berlin Prenzlauer Berg<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>A newly opened Japanese restaurant slinging sushi, ramen, and a selection of Izakaya-inspired small plates, Chotto might not seem like a plant-filled oasis upon first glance. But, ask for a table in the back and you\u2019ll be awed by their vertical plant wall fitted out with soft mosses, curling ferns, and a few stems of eucalyptus for good measure.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/good-bank.de\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Good Bank<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rosa-Luxemburg-Stra\u00dfe 5<\/li>\n<li>10178 Berlin Mitte<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>The wildcard of this round-up, Good Bank is a slim, sleek restaurant featuring a \u201cvertical farm to table\u201d concept. A subtle pink hue fills the space, coming from special LED grow lights that keep their InFarm vertical farms producing various lettuces and herbs around the clock, in front of your eyes\u2014so you can be assured that your bowl, sandwich, or wrap is made with the freshest of greens.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"BottomCredits\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-greens-berlin.de\/\"target=\"_blank\"rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">The Greens Berlin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Am Kr\u00f6gel 2<\/li>\n<li>10179 Berlin Mitte<\/li>\n<li>&#8211;<\/li>\n<p>Located in the historic Alte M\u00fcnze\u2014an old mint (as in coin making complex) turned into event location and office slash art studio space\u2014The Greens is a lovely caf\u00e9 featuring plants to admire and\/or purchase.

Bright and airy, shelves lined with sweet little potted plants cover the walls and the menu casually brings plant-based plates into focus. From sweet and savory toasts, to salads, sandwiches, and soups\u2014the food is vegetarian but is guaranteed to satisfy all eaters and is best finished with a hit of filter coffee and a \u201cbun of joy\u201d (that truly lives up to its name).
