Tofu scramble and homemade pesto!

Some lovely vegan options here and a few sweet treats including various proteiny/wholefoody truffles in lemon, mocha and chocolate flavours.

Had the tofu scramble and homemade pesto on toast, delicious and only 80Baht. Had the mocha and choc truffles. Mocha was nice, more ‘wholefoody’ with dates. Choc truffle more indulgent with a hint of spice. (30Baht per truffle.)

Faces the sea and you can sit on the outside area or inside.

Leckere vegane Auswahl am Meer

Mit einem traumhaften Ausblick auf das Meer und einer sehr schönen Einrichtung gibt es sehr viel gekennzeichnete Auswahl an veganem Essen!

Pros: Meerblick, Auswahl, Einrichtung

theres better.

the menu have a lot of vegan options, but the service wasn't the best, they kinda ignore you. I took the vegan pesto "eggs", It was dry and the pesto tasted like soup. they forgot my coffee and when it arrived it came like someone drank from it already. anyway if you do go pick a different breakfast

Pros: lots of options, what you read is what you get

Worth 5 stars!

I came here 5/6 times because I’m absolutely obsessed with their smoothiebowls! Such a nice place to seat, beautiful sea view and a lot of vegan options. It’s a popular restaurant when I was there, so I shared a table 3 times. This was in February.

Highly recommend though!😊

Great for breakfast

Nice vegan breakfast. Tofu was great. I tried the smaller version and it was fulfilling and tasty. Would totally recommend.

Amazing breakfast and snoothies

I had the vegan breakfast and the vegan smoothie and it was delicious and super big portions. It has many vegan options and good quality food. I'll be back for sure. Prices are not crazy expensive, but not the cheapest. I think it's fair for the quantity/quality of the food.

Pros: The food, The view, Many clearly labelled vegan options

Lots of vegan options

Good selection of vegan options. Portions aren’t huge but proportion to price. Tofu scramble was nice but be aware that the pesto is made with Thai basil not normal basil, so if you are not an aniseed taste fan, avoid! Nice ambiance and view onto sea.

Good breakfast, lunch was okay

We shared the overnight oats and the vegan breakfast wrap and both were really good. The coffee came quite late though.
After the good breakfast we decided to go there for lunch as well.
The spaghetti pesto was okay but not more. I needed to add a lot of more salt. The same with the chili sin carne.

Pros: Atmosphere , At the beach

Great breakfast

The menu has a large vegan breakfast & lunch section (2/3 of the lunch menu is vegan).
While it can be a bit loud inside due to the kitchen, the outside space is really nice with a good view and some plants.
The breakfast is great here, I had the banana caramel overnight oats and tried some of the breakfast wrap. I can recommend both.
The only problem for us was that the coffee was served quite late: after we finished our breakfast.

Great vibe

Best vibe we found comparing all places we've visited on Koh Tao. Relaxing background music. We spent quite some time there.

Rating for the vegan breakfast:

Scrambled Tofu was fantastic. Homemade cashew pesto wasn't my preference, but that's a personal choice, perhaps fennel put me off?!

Quite pricey.

Good coffee, unseasoned mushrooms, delicious tofu scramble

Update : I came back against the vegan duck rolls were super delicious
Has a really nice vibe, nice pillow on the floor seating as well as regular seating. PowerPoints by a lot of the tables if you need to charge something.
I had the vegan breakfast, the mushrooms tasted like they were unseasoned and undercooked which is sad because I looove mushrooms. The pesto was minty? But the tofu scramble was delish!

Pros: Tofu scramble was delicious , Cafe has really cute vibes, good view of the ocean, No loud music, quiet

Cons: Unseasoned, undercooked mushrooms

Ok Monkey

Coconut monkey was recommended to me. It has a white hippie young backpacker vibe. I came twice and didn’t enjoy either meal (chili and vegan breakfast) that much. Quite plain. Staff also looked at me strangely like I didn’t belong there.

Pros: Lofts of options

Cons: Mediocre taste, Off vibe

I agree with the plain part, I had the vegan breakfast also and the mushrooms were undercooked and unseasoned

Great location

Great location and great vibes at this place. There were some games by the side so my partner and I were entertained while we waited for our meals, which were pretty good. Great smoothies too 🙂

Note: I don't want to change my review because the food was good but DON'T HAVE THE SMOOTHIES. My partner had one (I tried a sip) and I assume tap water is used because he then had food poisoning 🥲

Updated from previous review on 2023-04-04

Pros: Lots of vegan options (entire section), Not pricey at all for the location

Cons: Food poisoning from smoothies

Must-try!

The view here is awesome and so is the food. We got some take away wraps for the ferry and we really enjoyed them (and relatively cheap) and our smoothie and coffees we had there were great too. Get some banana bread!

Pros: Lots of options, Great location, Pretty cheap

Vegan breakfast 💘

I tried the vegan breakfast and a peanut shake and both were delicious ❤️ The prices are great for what you get, everything that’s in the vegan breakfast is fantastic and the place is really comfortable and you can get a really nice view.
