Cute vegan place, great bowls

We went to Coco Bowl for our first lunch in Salento and were pretty content. I had a Poke bowl and my partner had Pad Thai but he thought the portion was a bit small. I loved my poke bowl, beautifully spiralled fresh veggies, nice sauce and nourishing. The restaurant is on the main touristy street of Salento and at the bottom of a hill where you can go for an amazing sunset.
I also tried the Coconut Dalgona drink which was super interesting and really tasty.
Would definitely recommend it, but if you eat a lot you may need a main with something extra.
Also I love being able to get something like a healthy buddha bowl or poke bowl in Colombia. It's amazing

Pros: Fresh bowls , Nice location

Cons: Slightly small portion

Good

Food is delicious, nice staff. Cosy atmosphere. It's a bit more on the expensive side but it is good quality. Variety of options on the menu, dishes that are typically hard to find in Colombia. The only thing I would say is that the portions were quite small. I left still feeling hungry, and for that I would take away a star.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that the portion size didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. After reviewing with our kitchen staff, we found that one of our new team members had been incorrectly plating some dishes, which led to smaller portions. We've already corrected this, and we’re confident it won’t happen again. Thanks again for letting us know! 🌿😊

Loved this place! Went every day of our trip!

Highly recommend this place, the food is delicious and there’s so many good options! We ate there four days in a row. My favourite dishes were the porridge and the tofu burger 👌🏻😍. The scrambled tofu was also really tasty!
And the cappuccino was good!
I did really like the Acai bowls too - tbh absolutely everything we had was fab.

Pros: Fully vegan , Tasty and variety of food , Really friendly staff

Amazing vegan jem in Salento

Incredible restaurant with a huge menu. It is owned by backpackers that travelled through Thailand, so they have quite a few Asian dishes as well. The food was really amazing the people there very friendly. They don't have so many tables but there are also some seats outside.

Fresh and yummy!

We ate here the most on our trip, mostly because we were craving none fried food. The owner was lovely and we lvoed gis sotey of how the restaurant came about. Was the first time we actually had a frothy latte in colombia! The smoothie bowls are delicious, the toasts arent toasted but still good. The main Asian dishes are more asian inspired vs authentic flavors but nevertheless good. Our fav was the Thai burger!

Favorite place in Salento

I ate there everyday In Salento. Everything is vegan, super fresh and they had many many things on the menu! I didn't have the time to try them all. Lots of fresh, healthy options. I don't know where they source their vegetables, but they are the freshest thing on earth.

The only thing I didn't like was the cinnamon roll, which I found dry.

Pros: Fresh ingredients , Many options

Best vegan restaurant in the area!

Their Thai fusion food is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It was incredibly delicious, and the even got a candle on my cheesecake to celebrate my birthday.

Pros: The menu is varied, Super tasty food, Great service

Cons: They are so far away from Pereira:( , A bit on the expensive side, but worth it

It's a match 💚

Like the history of the restaurant - with the owner falling in love with the Thai cuisine during traveling. Deciding to open a totally vegan restaurant with Thai food in the rural Columbia 🌍

☕ Cappuccino which was great. They offer almond milk. Would love if they'd add Avena (oat) since it's even available to buy in the local D1 Supermarket.

🥑 Avocado Toast with Cream Cheese
Homemade cream cheese. Taste was great - they could add a bit more cream cheese though and the portion size is not so big but gets ok for the price.

🍛 Yellow Curry
Wished it to be more creamy and a bigger portion.

Nice kind of new seating outside with a view on the busy pathway. Great place to rest and enjoy.

Overall very nice restaurant! 🌱

Decent options at this vegan restaurant. Unfortunately when we visited there was a faint but noticeable odor of sewage.

Asian Inspired

After closing down for the pandemic, Coco Bowl managed to reopen. The Buddha bowl was delicious and quite filling, although chickpeas were undercooked and the salad was quite dry at the bottom, as it comes undressed. They didn’t have any oils, but I was offered a sweet, balsamic v reduction which definitely improved my enjoyment of the dish.

The place is small and tables are not set beforehand (pushed all the way to the wall with tables), giving a less welcoming impression, but you just pull the tables and chairs out yourself and take a seat. The burger was spicy and the menu doesn’t specify. Luckily, my partner loves spicy. That would have been a No for me 😅 overall enjoyed our meals.

Best overall vegan place in Salento

I’ve been in Salento 1 week and have eaten here at least 5 times. They have delicious breakfast bowls (acai, smoothie), toasts, smoothies, coffee, scrambled tofu. They also have a great lunch and dinner menu (changes) that’s mostly Asian inspired (bahn mi, pumpkin curry, bao buns). This place is so consistently delicious and healthy - it’s hands down the best vegan spot in Salento.

Great breakfast and lunch

We ate breakfast and 2 lunches at Coco Bowl and they were busy each time. But that could't deter us, because the food was wonderful. Favorites were the Buddha Bowl, Mushroom Toast, Vegan Tofu Scramble with Avocado Toast and the Beetroot Hummus with Spinach Toast. The Golden Milk was also great and my husband loved the Peanut Butter Smoothie.

The service was friendly, and they take credit cards.

They don't use any salt or sugar, but bring you little glass vials to add your own (also of spices) if you so desire. The juices were really tart so I was happy to be able to add a bit of sugar.

Pros: Creative, vegan menu items, Freshly made , Friendly servers who take credit cards

Great breakfast / brunch spot

Can definitely recommend the Tofu Scramble and the Choco Bowl, went there to get one of these two for breakfast almost every day in Salento. Super filling!

They do not add much spice while cooking, but they give you some salt etc when they bring the food.

Has some nice swings as seats outside right next to the stairs of the mirador!

El mejor de Salento

Colocado en un lugar idóneo para recargar fuerzas antes o después de la subida al mirador. Hay opciones para cualquier momento del día. Yo he estado 3 días en Salento y los tres días he ido. Tostadas con huevos veganos; açai bowl y burger. Todo muy rico. El café que sirven está muy bueno. Personal agradable.

Little disappointing

We headed straight here for lunch after reading the reviews. The food was well prepared and offered a good variety of choices. My partner had the poke bowl, which was smaller than expected but okay. I had the buddha bowl, which was delicious except the chickpeas that had been coated in some sweet sauce that did not work. Staff were friendly and our drinks were nice - cold brew and lemonade.

Huge portions

We really enjoyed the food here. The Bahn mi sándwiches were huge. The Buddha bowl and teriyaki noodles were large and delicious. The boa buns were somewhat soggy with too much filling. The juices were really good although you have to ask for sugar if you want them a little sweet

Pros: Huge portions, Great location by the stairs to the mirador.

Cons: Small place so may have to wait for a table
