Great place

Ate here a few times as we liked it so much. Definitely try the hot dog! Several vegan options, clearly marked. Seating is all outside, situated in a lovely shaded area near the arch. We'd definitely return and visit again.

Cute little street cafe with a lot of vegan options and fair prices. Great selection of vegan cakes! Haven't tried one because I was already full but they looked delicious

Cute place

It's a small place, super cute and it has an amazing variety of both food and cakes to choose from. What cakes they offer depend on the day. Great place for a quick stop and a coffee
A lot of their things are or can be made gluten-free

Viele vegane Gerichte

Die Karte ist ja wirklich voll von veganen Gerichten, wir haben uns jedoch nur für Kuchen entschieden. Hatten am ersten Abend einen veganen Snickerskuchen und einen Vanille Kuchen, die beide ok waren. Sind dann aber einen Tag später nochmal hin und haben uns einen veganen Piztazienkuchen geholt, der unglaublich gut war.

Great little place with good vegan options.

Blink & you miss it hole in the wall cafe with outdoor seating. Almost everything on the snack menu has a vegan version. Solid light lunch with relaxing atmosphere. They have vegan mayo! Lovely staff too.

Great little side street café

Nice vegan options on offer here, Ftira, hotdogs, zapiekanka and cakes, we opted for the hotdog, zapiekanka (made with violife and I also had vegan Hellmans on mine) and energy ball, friendly staff, delicious food and very reasonably priced compared to everywhere else in valetta.

Delicious vegan raw cakes

We tried the banoffee cake and the snicker cake, both really good.
Really small cafe in which you cannot enter, but tables outside on a small street.

Pros: Vegan cakes

Tiny vegan gem in central Valletta

We were really pleased to find this place. The coffee was really good and the cakes were excellent. Even though this is a very small coffee shop with seats out on the pavement, there was a good choice. We tried the banoffee pie and the Twix cake. Yum! I spoke to the lady who makes the cakes and to her colleague. They explained that they make a high proportion of their foods (all their cakes, I think)gluten free, which deserves to widen their appeal still further. They also mentioned that they plan to open another café along the same lines in Spinola Bay in the St Julian’s region.

De Bono also sell vegan hot dogs.

Pros: 5 or 6 vegan cake options with 1 or 2 vegetarian, Delicious cakes and coffee, Lovely friendly staff

Cons: Might not be quite so appealing on a wet day.

Vegans not forgotten

I love how this hole-in-the-wall with a very small menu has made about half their food options vegan. It is so appreciated. The Polish pizza was very nice (it has yummy mushroom paste on it). There are so many vegan cakes to choose from and I gather from the ingredients that they are on the healthier side. While I didn't particularly like the cake we ordered, I'm willing to try another next time. Lovely service too.

Lecker Essen und tolles Personal

Das kleine Café in einer Seitenstraße haben wir gerne besucht. Es gibt verschiedene vegane glutenfreie Kuchen (v.a. Raw) und vegane Ftira, Zapiekanka und HotDogs pflanzliche Milchalternativen (Soja & Mandel). Das Personal war immer super herzlich und nett und alles was wir dort gegessen haben war sehr lecker.

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen

Cute place, great cake

The place is nicely located in a side street that isn’t too crowded. They have approx. 6 outside tables. They had about 8-9 vegan cakes on offer, all self-made not using industrial sugar. We had a banoffee cake including a vegan coconut-cream and a white snickers cake. Both were very nice. We came back later for a vegan hot-dog and a vegan baguette and liked both. We preferred the baguette a little more as it had great tasting cheese on it. We can absolutely recommend the place with its nice owners and the great cakes. We’ll be back tomorrow!

Fast, good

We had a vegan hot-dog for two and two cakes. All was very tasty, specially the cakes. We had the pistachio and the snickers one.

Vegan options are clearly labeled and the staff is aware of veganism.

Staff was very friendly.

Pros: location, staff, cakes were delicious

Delicious vegan hotdogs and cakes

We had the vegan hot dog and zapiekanka. Both were very nice. The owner said the she looked especially hard for a vegan sausage from Poland and I'd say she did an excellent job. We then shared a delicious slice of raffaello cake.

Pros: Great hot dogs, A nice selection of vegan snacks and cakes

Cons: Not 100% vegan

The best vegan hotdogs and homemade vegan cakes.

They have a huge selection of vegan cakes, also with cream. From what I remember they offered cheesecake, banoffee, oreo, pistachio, rafaelo and more. Drinks with plant based milk come without extra charge and for lunch you could also get a vegan hot dog or a vegan polish baguette called zapiekanka which i would love to give 5 stars!!! The cakes I'd give 3 stars, they were good but baked with less sugar which is just not my taste.
The owner was so lovely and told me that she bakes all the cakes by herself. The place itself doesn't look that appealing but it's really a hidden gem.

Hot dogs!

The veggie hot dog at De Bono was delicious, and they add all sorts of toppings. The space is very casual - a kiosk with outdoor tables. The woman working was really friendly, and another customer encouraged us to get the carrot cake. There are lots of dessert options, although they aren't especially sweet because there's no added sugar.
