Best vegan cake in Kathmandu!

We had the vegan biscoff cakes and brownie and they were incredible! Proper coffee with alternative milks. Will definitely be coming back.

Pros: Best cake, Owner is a legend

Whole vegan menu, lots of options

There is a separate vegan menu you can request, which has lots of options. Soy, almond and coconut milk is available for coffee. Lots of cakes are vegan too - we enjoyed the brownie! We got the tofu scramble and big vegan breakfast which was excellent. Really friendly staff/owner too. Def recommend for a coffee and cake, or otherwise for breakfast.

Amazing vegan menu with great service

We came here three times during our stay in Kathmandu and loved it. The seperate vegan menu is extensive and has generous servings for a good price. Lots of vegan sweets and an all round happy vibe.

Oat milk!!! A gem

Amazing vegan options and a full separate vegan menu. They offer oat and almond milk, which you can also purchase by the liter. I’m so grateful to have a vegan hot chocolate made with creamy, foamy, oat milk in Nepal. My first here and last on my way to the airport. 🥹☕️

The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable. He comes in usually around 6am but the place opens at 7 AM. If you happen to arrive on a morning bus, you can still pop in around 6 or 6:30 if he’s in there. 🥰

Oat milk!!

Ask for the vegan menu - it is extensive! They have oat, soya and almond milk and make really good coffee. The portions of food are really generous and so tasty. And the cakes!!!! Huge range of vegan cakes! I got the biscoff brownie and it was delicious. Super nice staff too, I love this place!

Delicious cakes

We bought five cakes to take away. The vegan selection was amazing - there were more vegan bakes than non vegan which is rare to see. They were slightly on the pricier side but you can understand it for the quality - they were absolutely delicious! If I was here for longer I’d like to try some of their savoury food as well. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Pros: Lots of vegan cakes, Delicious food, Friendly staff

Buddha is a legend and yummy food

Was meant to write a review months ago - this was my go to spot when I was in nepal for 3 months, I couldn’t stop coming back. Buddha let me go behind the bar and make my own coffee to go with the best vegan cakes you’ll find! The chocolate and biscoff cakes are sooo good, very rich but you just can’t stop eating it! The staff are so nice and friendly and always smiling and making you want to come back. There’s a vegan burger that comes with a veggie patty and huge chunk of tofu which I had at least 5 times it’s to this day one of the best vegan burgers I ever had, and comes with really nice crispy roast potatoes. We also had veggie skewers (made from faux meat) and tofu sticks a few times. It’s an absolute dream for vegans especially if you’re feeling more western food rather than curry etc
Miss you Buddha!! Beth 💚

Pros: So many vegan options!, Friendliest best staff, Cosy warm atmosphere

Cons: None other than serving meat if you don’t like

Great find! Best vegan cakes!

Blink and you'll miss this little place tucked away off the main streets of Thamel. Cosy place with cool ambience. Ask for the separate vegan menu. Great cakes and selection of drinks with almond or coconut milk. The owner is super friendly and nice.

Pros: Amazing cakes, Full vegan menu

Cons: A little pricey but big portions

Five ⭐️ tofu scramble, has Vegemite!

Best tofu scramble I’ve had that I haven’t made myself. Super friendly staff who are very willing to cater to your preferences. One of my favourite places to eat In Kathmandu. Also has a really tasty burger and the vegan brownies are delicious.

Nice place for cafe food

Make sure to ask for the separate vegan menu. Large range of options, soy and almond milk available. Several vegan cakes in the window, all chocolate based. The scrambled tofu wrap and the mixed veg wrap were both great, as were the momos. The blueberry smoothie was far too sweet and artificial. Some vegan dry goods available for purchase as well.

Cute Cafe with vegan menu

Cute little Cafe with lovely staff. They have a separate vegan menu with plenty of options, including tofu based items and homemade arugula basil pesto. Happy to see a vegan Masada Chai as I'd been wanting to try it!

Pros: So many vegan options, both Nepali and not, Vegan masala chai!, Friendly staff

Disappointing

We ordered four different options from the vegan menu and they were all very bland. They didn't have soy or almond milk, so they made us coffee with what they called coconut milk but was clearly coconut cream, which is very heavy and doesn't suite coffee well.

The only vegan cakes in the city

This cozy cafe offers a whole vegan menue and also some groceries. The cookies were a little bit too dry for me, but the other food i tried was very delicious: Tofu Burger, scrambled tofu, a brownie and truffels. The potions are huge and the staff is nice and helpful.

Nice vegan options and good cake and coffee

We had the brownie and a other cake which were delicious and very fulfilling. The coffee is also great, they have coconut, soy and almond milk - but the two times we were there they only had coconut milk.
We can also recommend the tofu sticks😄

Good Breakfast

I had the tofu scramble with spinach and mushrooms. Very good but the portion size was way to big for me! Probably enough there for 2 people. Tasty food. I don't think I would have gone if I hadn't come across it online as the front does not look great. Once you are inside, its a different place!

Pros: Lots of vegan and gluten free options, Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: More on the expensive side but IMO worth it, Facade doesn't do its justice

Impressive!

The biggest and most diverse vegan menu you’ll find in Nepal - and delicious!

Serves soy and almost milk for coffee/tea - seems like it’s the only place in Thamel that does this at the moment. Plus vegan cakes!

We really enjoyed the scrambled tofu with mushrooms on toast - a great breakfast.

Plus the masala chai/chia with soy milk is fantastic!

Huge portions

The French bakery looks quite dirty from the outside but the moment you are opening the door there is this modern café!
They have a separate vegan menu and soooo much choice! I had scrambled tofu in toast with Tomate and spinach and it was really good! The portion size is really big, I thought about getting one of the many vegan cakes (brownies, carrot cake, truffle) but I was just too full. Will definitely go there again!
The prices were quite good! Payed 275 for porridge and 300 for the scrambled tofu toast.

Pros: Many vegan options like breakfast, cakes, smoothi, Plant milk

A vegan menu available

They have a very complete vegan menu with nepali and western food, also full of gluten free options. If you're gluten free, they have a section in the place with products to buy as pasta or bread. The soya masala tea and the vegan chocolate truffle are my favourites!
