In this post we show you where to have a vegan breakfast in Aachen. Aachen is a beautiful city in western Germany full of culture and sights. Even though it boasts plenty of cafés and restaurants, finding a really good vegan breakfast isn’t always easy. Many places are not yet geared towards plant-based guests – or anyone who simply wants to eat vegan for a change. Classic options such as smoothie bowls, porridge or sandwiches are still the exception. We’ve picked out the right breakfast spots so you can enjoy a tasty vegan morning in Aachen.
Café Juli
Café Juli ranks among the best spots in Aachen for a tasty vegan breakfast. As the city’s first organic café it puts quality and provenance first. Any coffee drink can be made with almond or soy milk. Breakfast is served Tuesday to Sunday until 2 pm – perfect for late risers.
Try the Bodenschatz breakfast with bread basket, vegan margarine, herb hummus and two savoury spreads, or go for Pflanzenkraft: bread basket, margarine, jam, one savoury spread, herb tofu scramble plus soy yoghurt with fruit and nuts. That’s a plant-powered start to the day!

Leni liebt Kaffee

Sweet tooth? Order the Tahini Granola: house granola with (vegan) yoghurt, seasonal fruit compote and almond butter.

Add fruity compote or strawberry sauce plus coconut flakes for a delicious boost.
