• Vegan • Burgers • Raw Cakes • Homey •
It’s finally time to write about Happen Pappen, die vegane Wohnküche. That sort of means living room kitchen; which describes it perfectly. Nestled in what looks like an apartment with three different dining rooms, even a couch area. The food equally fits its title. (Short explanation: I get fed up with going out to eat too often. I couldn’t be fine-dining every evening. When coming home from traveling for example, what I most look forward to is a home-cooked meal – something that feels healthy, homey and not overdone). But Happen Pappen doesn’t have this too rich, dining out feel; I could eat here everyday . . .
Although, even

felt right. Well that only happened once. I went for their daily lunch, burger dinner and the brunch the next morning.
Lately I’ve been going here at least once a week, devouring either their burgers or weekend breakfasts. Sometimes I check by if I crave a smoothie or need a raw cake to pep me up. Weekend or Weekday – they always have a salad and quiche. Just today I heard a girl say that vegan quiches aren’t as abundant as the non-vegan, though she got something wrong. These quiches are creamy, juicy and rich. The daily lunch menu has offered anything from zucchini noodles, filled sweet potatoes, eggplant stews, kale bowls – to the most vegan it can get: Mac ‘n’ Cheese.
My Favorite Vegan Burgers in Hamburg
However my favorite reason to come is for BURGERS – and their accompanying mayos of course. In a fluffy spelt bun it’s somewhat inedible without making a mess; so you can get a burger bowl too. Either way you’ll get a pattie (my favorite is the seitan) amazing vegan mayos, that range from wasabi to Fritz-Cola®-BBQ (a hamburg coke brand that has become internationally successful) layered with different veggies. The Bowl replaces the bun with salad and a side of oven-baked potatoes in Harissa-cocktail sauce. But I recommend getting a side of those if you opt for the messy option. (I’m assuming everybody agrees that burgers are finger-food.) They’re – all of it is – scrumptious, and never gets old!
Opulent Weekend Brunches
On weekends they offer unique breakfast menus. Three different triple decker sandwiches with smoked tofu or seitan, avocado, (sun-dried or fresh) tomatoes, the mayos! . . . Those have been my favorite lately. However the buckwheat pancake – either savory – with almond butter, avocado, tomatoes – or sweet – with banana, chocolate, powdered sugar are quite notable as well.
Lavish Cakes with Tea
Well I prefer the Bangok Lime tea, lemonades, and smoothies. When it’s not specialty coffee, it’s not my thing 😉 Though the cakes are always scrumptious. They bake two raw ones: strawberry-cashew and avocado-lime, a sugar free apple-bread, a really rich juicy carrot cake with cashew cream cheese frosting . . . or for the more decadent versions I love the swedish apple cake and chocolate mousse cherry torte. The latter two have a special creamy vegan frosting that I’ve never tasted anywhere else before.
I really could go on forever here, but should get to an end. Happen Pappen is my favorite option for eating out. I know what I like – it hits the spot and never gets boring. Always vegan, fun, cozy and relaxed!
