They have a selection of vegan milks to make coffees, teas, hot choc or milkshakes. There is always vegan biscuits. There is cereal, toast, sometimes vegan soup... It's set up to be like a hotel so breakfast style foods. I would recommend zifferblat if you enjoy games or just want a nice place to meet friends.

If you go in, eat breakfast and leave quickly then it can work out good value. But as somewhere to hang out, which is how they market themselves, it works out horribly expensive if you say just want to play a board game. It feels like a hostel living room which I guess some people might like but I don't, it sort of lacks character and feel like a half hearted effort has been made to make it feel cosy. They basically have some biscuits, spreads and milks that are vegan, it's not worth getting excited over. They used to have nice coffee and biscuits etc but it's now pretty basic quality

Lovely place with a great atmosphere just not too much to choose from for vegans. read more Lovely place with a great atmosphere just not too much to choose from for vegans.

They offer a variety of vegan milk options for coffee, teas, hot chocolate, or milkshakes. You can always find vegan cookies available. They also serve muesli, toast, and sometimes vegan soup. The decor feels like a hotel, with a focus on breakfast-style food. I definitely recommend Zifferblat if you enjoy games or are simply looking for a nice place to meet friends.

If you're looking to grab a quick breakfast, it can be a reasonable option. However, if you're hoping to stay awhile, especially for a board game night, it can feel quite overpriced. The atmosphere resembles a hostel common room, which might appeal to some, but for me it lacks charm and feels like a half-hearted attempt at creating a cozy space. They offer a few vegan cookies, spreads, and milk, but honestly, there's not much to get excited about. Their coffee and cookie selection used to be decent, but now the quality feels pretty basic.
