Haferkater

Haferkater has its store on the ground floor of Ostbahnhof, in the Minerva Passage at the corner of the main hall. The oats are freshly flaked and roasted here every morning in their own grain mill, and cooked in the classic Scottish style with only water and salt. For superfood in Berlin, this means: porridge from 6.45 Euros, two minutes from the platform.

Haferkater at Ostbahnhof: Porridge in Friedrichshain

Haferkater is located on the ground floor of Berlin’s Ostbahnhof, in the Minerva Passage at the corner of the main hall. The counter is small and there are only a few seats, but you can be on the platform or outside by the Spree within two minutes. The story began in 2014 a few streets away in Friedrichshain, where Anna Schubert, Levin Siert, and Leandro Burguete opened their first store in a former kebab shop. Today, Haferkater can be found at several Berlin train stations and in other German cities.

Freshly Flaked Oats, Eight Porridge Varieties, and Bowls

The base is classic Scottish porridge, cooked with only water and salt. The special step is before that: the oats are freshly flaked and roasted in each store every morning in their own grain mill, using German oats from controlled cultivation. Eight porridge variations are available, one of which changes quarterly, plus sandwiches, wraps, oat rice bowls, and salads. The menu is completely vegetarian, with the majority being vegan. The Apfelkater costs 6.45 Euros, the Falafel Wrap 5.45 Euros. You put together your own toppings.
