No vegan options

Literally no soymilk, no vegan declared food or anything to eat for breakfast. I ended up eating a cereal bread - not even jam was available. There is a veggie wrap on the menu which I guess can be veganized without the mayo I guess

Cons: No vegan options

Very tasty vegan wrap

The vegetarian wrap in the menu can be made vegan by substitute the mayo with ketchup. We asked for just that and the staff even returned to offer honey based sauce (thought honey was vegan) instead the ketchup. Well we went for the ketchup and it was a great choice. The wrap was delicious, full of crispy soy meatballs and veggies and it came with french fries. Great value and filling meal.
We didn't ask for a plant based milk but experienced at other Azorean venue that if you order cappuccino, the coffee is made from a pack that contains cow milk. And the coffee served here looked just like that. Please double check before ordering any coffee with milk.

Pros: location

Fine

Vegan wrap is fine, soy meatballs are a bit dry but tasty. It’s a good and cheap vegan option around the place.

Super goed service en lekker eten!

We bestelde de tagliatelle zonder kip en ze voegde er in de plaats vegetarisch balletjes bij. Voor de rest bestelde we de garlic sweet bread & vegetarisch raps. Zeker een aanrader!

avoid

first of all the service is absolutely terrible. We ordered a wrap and a burger and waited forever (more than 50 minutes - no one from the staff ever apologized) The drinks (water and pineapple juice) arrived after 35 minutes from the time we ordered, mind you, the cafe was almost empty and there were +/- 6 waiters. The staff was unfriendly and unprofessional.

Unfortunately, the food that arrived was, to say the least, bad. The veggie wrap was completely cold, had only a few pieces of tomato, and lacked avocado. The soy meatballs were lukewarm, greasy, tasteless. The fries must be one of the worst I’ve ever had. All greasy, cold, and VERY stale. Felt like they were made ages ago and reheated?
Don’t get played by the pictures, trust me, avoid this place for dinner.

Pros: good pineapple juice, good location

Cons: terrible service, inexcusably long waiting times, poor quality of food

Veggie Wrap

If I remember correctly, there is a veggie burger and a veggie wrap. I have had the veggie wrap twice now. It’s pretty decent, they are soy meatballs, they aren’t warm but thats just how it is “a cold wrap”. This costs 6 euros with some fries.

Pros: More than 1 option

Nice snack in Ponta Delgada

In front of the cathedral, the terrace is large enough. I had the vegetarian wrap for 6€. Done with fresh ingredients, I enjoyed it a lot. The waitress was efficient too.

It’s ok for an emergency

It was sunday and not much was open. I went there for the vegan burger and it was quite alright.
The staff was very friendly. It’s not the place for a full vegan meal but did just what I needed.

No Must try

It’s nice to sit oustide. I found it sad that they have no plantbased milk, because the cafe is really big. I had the portobello mushroom burger. It was not great but ok. Service is friendly

Cons: No plantbased milk

Definitely coming back

This was a big surprise for me. It is really in the center, next to the cathedral, but the prices are really friendly. The vegetarian wrap is amazing (with soy meatballs and avocado), I think only the dip for fries is with mayo and so it can be made vegan - check. There is also portobello muschroom burger, soup, salad bar, where you can mix what you want (including some grilled veggies and peas the day I was there)

Pros: great food, city center, big outside space, cheap
