Tasty - Edit
I had vegan sandwich it was tasty with hummus, avocado, some leaves and grilled pepper. House bread is excellent. Caffe is also good and they offer vegan milk but for 750 pesos extra (2.5$). I think an oatmeal-ginger cookie is vegan too (needs to be confirmed but I didn’t feel any egg or milk and I am very much sensitive to this taste). Interior is very nice.

Großartiges Frühstücksangebot - Edit
Schönes, gemütliches Café mit viel Flair und super netten Menschen, die dort arbeiten.
Read moreDie Speisekarte ist schön übersichtlich gestaltet. Ein v für vegetarisch und ein vv für vegan weist den Weg.
Ich denke, sie haben das beste Brot in ganz Havana. Ich hatte es mit Hummus und gegrilltem Gemüse.
Danach ein Obstteller, dazu ein frischer Ananassaft und ein Café Americano. Ich liebe es dort zu sitzen, und das Leben zu genießen.

Pleasant surprise - Edit
Cuba is struggling right now, it's common for cafes to not have the basics due to supply issues and electricity black outs are common. When we visited they didn't have my first choice but the hummus was good and a welcome break from more beans and rice at a reasonable price

Great bread - Edit
They have really lovely bread here, very different from the quality you normally find in Cuba. We went here twice, and the vegan sandwich was great the first day and bland the next. As anywhere else in Cuba, you never know which veggies they have available, so they might be missing the avocado which was the case the second time we visited. Also, the vegan sandwich doesn't have spicy sauce as it states, it just comes with peppers inside.
Read moreWe did experience that they didn't have soap by the bathrooms which was a bit disturbing after seeing staff going there 😅 Also, most of the kitchen staff would go smoke in the courtyard together.
Pros: Great bread, Cosy place, Cute cat seems to belong to the café
Cons: Expensive, No soap, Didn't have vegan milk when we visited

The breakfast hotspot in Havana! - Edit
This was my go to place during my stay in Havana as vegan options are otherwise limited. Offers vegan smoothies (with plant milk of course), accidentally vegan oat cookies and super delicious amazing avocado und tomato toast on freshly baked sourdough bread.

Great vegan breakfast - Edit
Wer were here for breakfast and enjoyed the nice atmosphere on the cafe. Staff is friendly and speaks English. We had a coffee, fresh fruits, a lemonade, a pineapple juice and the Vegan sandwich - everything was very delicious and the bread was very tasty.

Good vegan sandwich - Edit
We had a very good vegan sandwich (with grilled vegetables and home-made hummus) and good coffee, too. The cafe has a little courtyard which was very handy to safely park our bikes.

Great place for breakfast - Edit
I went to El Cafe last week for breakfast as it was recommended as one of the best breakfast places around. Grateful to have some vegan options as it's hard to find in this area. I wish there was a little bit more to choose from. I had the hummus sandwich. And a few cups of coffee, coffee was amazing, sandwich was just good.
Read morePros: Excellent coffee, Great atmosphere, Very friendly service
Cons: Only two vegan options

Encanto y legumbres, la mejor combinación - Edit
Ser una persona vegana en Cuba no es fácil por varios motivos, y uno de los que más afecta en restauración es la carestía de productos clave. En este café, por suerte, tienen un par de platos con hummus, además de algunas (pocas) otras opciones, y entienden qué es se vegano. Lo mejor, la belleza del lugar y el servicio eficaz.

Charming café, good vegan food - Edit
El Café is a charming Café in the old town of Havanna. They serve several vegan options including a vegan breakfast with a hummus sandwich or avocado sandwich, and they even have vegan oat ginger cookies (We bought 10 of them😉The avocado toast (price 140 Pesos) was so good, the avocado was so creamy and tasty. Besides that, the juices are fresh and think and just a dream. They also serve many other cold and hot beverages. The café has some nice art on the wall and a beautiful, colorfull back yard. The stuff is very attentive and speaks good English. One of our favorite places in old Havana to grap some food and relax over a drink.

Nice coffee - Edit
Coffee and juices are very good and one can even have an oat "milk" shake (they would not make a coffee with the oat milk though). Overall staff is very inflexible in customising the items on the menu.

Nice Sandwiches - Edit
We ate here several times whilst in Havana. We always had the vegan humus and avocado sandwich because everything else was meat; but the sandwich was great, as was the coffee. Always the latest issue of Granma too! We liked their sensitive restoration of a lovely old building with a tiled interior, and the staff were bright and eager.
Read morePros: Everything
Cons: A larger vegan menu would be nice.

Breakfast saviour! - Edit
Friendly, clean and tasty sandwiches! They have two vegan options on their fairly compact menu. A sandwich and a breakfast plate. There is also a fruit plate. The sandwich was a rare gem in Cuba, so much so I had it twice and visited the cafe 3 times! The options are basic, but there isn’t A lot of choice in Havana, so it’s very welcome!
