Decent food! - Edit
I ordered a wrap made of chickpea flour with hummus, and my husband ordered a gluten-free burger. We both found the dishes to be a bit bland, but other than that everything was good. You get a view of the Caribbean Sea which is nice. The cafe is environment friendly!

Great food! - Edit
We had a lovely breakfast here. The scrambled tofu was amazing and the vegan pancake was so nice as well! Only issue we had with this place was we aren’t sure what we would have if we went back. There wasn’t much else on the menu that grabbed our attention. But would still definitely recommend this place!

Fresh and delicious - Edit
We ate here three days in a row. What a great find! The servings for large, and we had our lunch leftovers for dinner. On the first and third days, my husband ordered the deli sandwich with a gluten-free chickpea wrap instead of bread. It had spinach, mushrooms, eggplant, avocado, lettuce and tomato. He raved over it, and he was impressed with how juicy it was.
Read moreOne day ordered the lunch sandwich #2, which had avocado, grilled vegetables, sunflower seeds, basil and olive oil. I was able to get it with the chick.pea wrap, which does not contain yeast. The wrap itself, was absolutely scrumptious. The sandwich was also scrumptious. On another day we both ordered a quinoa and beetroot burger. It came with avocado, lettuce, tomato and red onion. It was good, but much drier than the other sandwiches and we did not like it as much. On my third visit, I ordered the vegan Gallo Pinto. Is it came with fried plantain, grilled veggies (eggplant and zucchini), hummus, fruit, and I was able to substitute the chickpea wrap for the toast. I loved it all, except for the hummus. I found the hummus to have too much garlic. I gave it to my husband who is good with a heavy garlic flavor. He said that he liked it okay, but he didn't think it was great.
I also ordered a salad with tomato added. The salad was delicious and beautiful. The waitress was very helpful.
Pros: Delicious food, Fresh food, A fully vegetarian restaurant.
Cons: It is very hot without air conditioning.

Burger war eine Enttäuschung - Edit
Ich hatte das Tagesangebot - einen Burger mit Quinoa und Rote Beete, dazu frittierte Kochbananen. Die Bananen waren lecker, der komplette Burger (Brötchen, Pattie, Salat) leider trocken und fad.

Tourist prices, but good food! - Edit
We had the eggplant bruschetta and the combo meal which includes a sandwich, salad, drink of the day, and choice of hummus or guacamole with crackers. The drink of the day was pineapple watermelon juice which was delicious! Although on the more expensive side (the combo was about $16) the portions are large and filling.

Freundliches Personal und gute Auswahl an veganen Optionen. Soweit wir erkennen konnten ist das Restaurant vegetarisch/vegan und bietet kein Fleisch oder Fisch an, was wir gut finden. Die Markierung auf Happy Cow müsste also angepasst werden.

Very nice breakfast spot - Edit
Almost all of the menu can be made vegan. Scrambled tofu with homemade tortilla was great. Has coffee drinks with plant milks. I didn't see tuna on the menu - maybe someone can verify? It's tourist prices (~$7.50 for full desayuno typico), but that's okay. Lots of great artwork as well - good vibes.

Desayuno completo - Edit
Probé el menú desayuno vegano de los pancakes (hay otro de gallo pinto) viene con fruta, tostadas con mermelada casera sirope y un agua de papaya o café. Volví por el plato barato, (tofu estilo huevos revueltos con tortilla de maíz) muy recomentable. Tienen otras opciones veganas en la carta. Es fácil pasar de largo ya que está en un segundo piso y el cartel está medio oculto por unas flores. Una buena forma de empezar el día con energía

A decent option. - Edit
I’ve eaten here a few times and would give it a 6.5 out of 10. It’s nice, worth a visit, but not the most amazing menu or flavours.

Excellent vegetarian/vegan breakfast - Edit
My boyfriend and I came here for coffee and then returned a second time for breakfast because everything looked and smelled amazing. We had the gallo pinto special and a vegan pancake with papaya lemon jam + fresh fruit, and we both loved our meals. My boyfriend immediately proclaimed the gallo pinto as his favorite breakfast of our entire trip! This place is great for vegans and vegetarians (it's mostly veg with a few non-veg items) and we also loved the outdoor counter seating overlooking the beach. Definitely recommend!
Read morePros: Excellent food, Overlooking the beach, Great atmosphere
