Our Favorite Spot in Crete - Edit
We visited Crumb Café first time after exploring Knossos, and it was so good that we came back two more times during our trip! The variety of vegan options is outstanding, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They ask about special dietary requirements straight away to be able to accommodate well.
Read moreThe portion sizes are generous and they offered us complimentary cakes on each visit, which was such a lovely gesture! We were travelling with our 1-year-old and appreciated that they provided a changing mat in the restroom. However, there wasn't a baby chair, which would have been helpful.
They offer plenty of vegan pastries as well.
Overall, Crumb is a fantastic spot for anyone looking for delicious vegan food and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommended!
Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Big portions, Taste
Cons: Lack of baby chair

Very tasty baked goods and friendly staff - Edit
This cafe is one of the best. The vegan selection is huge and the staff helps you go through all the clearly labeled options.
Read moreThere are labels for many of the dietary restrictions like Gluten Free, too.
The staff member ( or owner) was super friendly the two times we were there and gave us some extra sweets and cake. We can highly recommend the croissant with chocolate filling and the flower bomb ( which is huge and enough for two).
The iced and hot cappuccino we had were also fantastic.
Overall extremely good and we would never have thought to find this gem on Crete. It feels bad that we cannot give 5/5 stars here.

Healthy Vegan Eatery - Edit
Wish I could give 5 stars as Menu is ~90% vegan as default (for the items that aren't, you can veganize it); healthy and fresh ingredients; lots of options: from vegan wraps, sandwiches, pancakes and salads) to vegan ice creams (many different flavours), vegan cakes and cookies to yummy vegan smoothies, fresh juices and delicious vegan coffees.
Read morePerfect place for family gathering, breakfast/lunch with friends or even to just work on your laptop/ read a book; interior design is cosy and beautiful. The owners are lovely people too!
It's my fav place in Heraklion; it is a bit away from the the Old Town but definitely worth a walk, I promise;)

Vegan sweets - Edit
I was first confused about this place, as when I passed I only saw the sign advertising vegan coffee, and thought it was a bit of a joke. When we came back later we found out that they have many vegan savory and sweet pastries. We had a filled whole grain sandwich which was a bit dry and not so tasty. We also tried the Ferreros and a cream filled cake that reminded me a bit of "Kinder Pinguin" both was quite tasty. We came back later and tried the Snickers and Lila Pause bar. The Lila Pause bar was really delicious😄

Vegan ice cream - Edit
5 stars for the vegan ice cream. It was great. I tried several flavors over a few different days. All except one are vegan and many others are gluten free (as of 10/08/22. I’m not sure if they rotate flavors). I also tried the vegan snickers bar, but it wasn’t very good. All the baked goods are clearly labeled if they’re vegan (as well as several other labels including gluten free)
Read morePros: Vegan ice cream , Vegan options , Gluten free options

Sugar free everything is unnecessary - Edit
I had planned to go to crumb for dinner as I noticed they are open late but unfortunately they don’t prepare fresh food for the evenings so it was only a few leftover sandwiches. I went for dinner somewhere else and came back for some ice cream. There were 7 vegan ice cream flavours, I chose Ferraro.
Read moreIt’s sugar free which impacted the texture of the ice cream and made it quite hard and icy. I would have preferred regular ice cream. I’m a dietitian and sweeteners are not necessarily any healthier than sugar- carbs aren’t bad for you! I looked at the ingredients and they use a lot of maltitol which may be a problem for IBS sufferers.
I had also asked to try the rum and raisin flavour as I was thinking of getting it but the lady wouldn’t let me try before buying.

Pros: Lots of vegan options
Cons: Cafe style so no fresh food for the evening , Sugar free foods instead of regular , Not allowed to sample any ice cream flavours

Many vegan options! - Edit
In fact so many that it was hard to choose. Went with the lemon pie and the bounty bar. The pie filling was delicious but the crust and the bounty bar were unfortunately very dry, could be because they were glutenfree ans sugarfree? Didn’t make me go back, but it was definitely nice to see so many vegan cakes in the middle of the city.

Yummy pancakes - Edit
My wife and I went there for breakfast, she had the pancakes and I had the avocado toast.
Read moreThe pancakes were very good with a delicious chocolate cream! However I didn’t enjoy the avocado toast, it lacked flavour.
Many other options looked nice though, so I would go there again.

Disastrously - Beware! - Edit
We ordered two Iced Matcha Lattes with almond milk and they served us them with cows milk! I explicitly mentioned almond milk when I placed the order.
Read moreI also wanted a vegan bowl and they were out of stock of produce. After this further disappointment, I wanted to make my own bowl and only after taking my order from the waitress did she tell me this was not possible! I could hardly believe it! Actually, we should have pulled the rip cord at this point. But I ordered a falafel sandwich because I was so hungry. This came and was also a huge disappointment! I can't recommend this place, if you are looking for a proper vegan food place in Heraklion, go further!
Cons: Inattentive staff, Quickly overwhelmed, Not suitable for vegans

Would give 5 stars if I could! - Edit
Crumb is located on Heraklion‘s main square, close to the lion fountain, so it really is a prime location and a great place to do some people watching. How nice to discover a place offering vegan options in such a great spot!
Read moreUnfortunately it is not a veggie place, but there are so many vegan choices! It was seriously hard to choose what to take.
In the end we opted for a pastry filled with a cream of hazelnuts, almonds and peanuts and the homemade ginger lemonade. We shared the pastry since it was huge.
We also took away a baclava to share in the evening.
Both dishes were really nice - very sweet, but worth a try!
The staff at Crumb were so friendly and helpful and explained all the vegan options to us. It was a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
I wish this was closer to our hotel so that we could go each day and explore all the vegan treats they offer!
