All about the view

The brunch menu was pretty much just a few bowls. But it was the first peanut butter I’d had in weeks, so I considered it a win.

Pros: View

Cons: Needs more vegan options

AMAZING view and breakfast

We stayed at Galini Hotel and the price included a free breakfast at their cafe. I wasn't excited for the menu which only had two basic sounding vegan options, but OH MY, the porridge with dark chocolate granola, berries, and peanut butter was DELICIOUS. The granola was crunchy, the chocolate was rich and not bitter, and the fruit (first day was blueberries, second day was banana) very fresh. Everything just went so well together, and that's high praise for someone who usually hates porridge.
And of course, the view just made everything even better. It was just STUNNING. We were lucky to be seated front row the first day, and the next day the corner table was vacated just after we ordered so we were able to move.
If the breakfast wasn't free I'm not sure we would have gone here because I saw the non-hotel guest menu and was shocked that the porridge was about €24!!!

Pros: the stunning views, delicious porridge

Healthy and delicious

Although a bit expensive, the vegan options are very good. Very small place, so get there early or make a reservation. Outstanding views.

Pros: Healthy, Delicious, Great service

Fantastic vegan options and unreal view

Good vegan options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had the vegan sandwich and the mermaid bowl. Both were some of the best food we have had on the island!

Highly recommend, and the views are fantastic (good sunset spot too!)

Pros: Delicious, Decent options , Amazing view

Cons: Expensive (same as everywhere on santorini)

So good

While pricey, like I mean wow that kinda hurts the wallet for how small my meal was but I guess this is Santorini and that view is amazing so I guess it's okay pricey, what I had was delish! I tried the vegan sandwich and it was honestly so delicious and I'm definitely going to try recreating it at home because who thinks of putting mint on a sandwich??

There's limited options but it's all clearly labelled and I'm sure if you asked the servers, they would tell you what could be veganised.

Service was also a little slow, but they were really busy so I understand. I also think I'm used to Australian service so that's a me problem not them.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Slow service

Great view, great food

A bit expensive, but you do get what you pay for. There’s food for everyone, both vegans & non-vegans. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere was quite nice. Stay away from the vegan dessert though 😵‍💫

Pros: Everyone can eat comfortably

Cons: Somewhat expensive

Good view!

Definitely wasn't our favorite place in Santorini. There aren't many vegan options at all (just buddha bowls basically) - and the food wasn't super exciting.

The Rainbow bowl was OK, but the other one (protein bowl) was really not great and we couldn't finish it. The best part of our lunch was the appetizer which was tasty but definitely over-priced compared to the rest.

One of the waitress was also giving us some attitude for whatever reason. Overall just a little underwhelming. Though if you get one of the 3 tables by the cliff, you get an amazing view of the Caldera!

Pros: Could get a good view of the caldera

Cons: Price, Attitude, Not many options

Delicious brunch with a view

We’ve been to Galini twice now. Really enjoyed the avocado toast, soya latte, fresh OJ, banana juice and fruit salad! Would recommend for a nice brunch with a beautiful view. Probably the only breakfast spot we’ve found with vegan options that are not only juices/ smoothie bowls… still waiting for that scramble tofu option though!

Updated from previous review on 2021-08-26

Pros: Lots of vegan brunch options , Good coffee and amazing fresh orange juice, Quick service

Cons: May have to wait on the bench outside to queue

Great place for breakfast

We often went to Galini during our stay in Santorini to have breakast as they offer a few vegan options. We had the vegan and the boost breakfast, the porridge, the coconut yogurt and the avocado toast and everything was delicious. Additionally, you get great views from up there.

However, it is definitely quite expensive considering the portion sizes and in the morning it‘s quite busy and you might have to wait for a few minutes until you get a table.

Pros: Some vegan options, Delicious, View

Cons: Rather expensive, Waiting time

Stunning view!

Stunning sunrise view and delicious vegan breakfast options. I had the Boost breakfast and the Açaí bowl, both were very good. In addition they had a great Choice of non-diary milk. The view is outstanding!

Nice Café with an amazing view

We’ve been to Galini Café twice during our stay at Santorini. From the Fira center you have to walk about 15 minutes to get there. There have a couple of vegan options on their menu and you can choose plant milk for your coffee. The prices are a bit higher, however the view is amazing so it’s definitely worth it to pay a bit more.

Nice spot for a small bite

We went here for brunch. The place was in a nice setting overlooking the sea and the menu had a good amount of vegan options. However the prices are quite expensive and the portions are relatively small.

Beautiful cafe

Really pretty cafe, gorgeous view! Plant milks available. There are a few vegan options, we only had breakfast there and drinks another day. “vegan breakfast” of orange juice, coco milk, tea/coffee and interesting quinoa bowl €20, can have avo toast without egg €9, acai bowl, smoothies. Unfortunately no vegan pancakes 😭 Also had drinks once and they were lovely.

Pros: Vegan options, Plant milks, Amazing view

Cons: No pancakes, Expensive

Lovely

Stunning view and some vegan options. Be prepared, because it is expensive!
They use a lot of honey, in case you have a problem with that.

Also, the map on here is wrong. The actual place is by Galini Hotel, about 15 minutes away. I Googled Firostefani Galini Cafe and found it.

Pros: Wifi available, Healthy food, Stunning view

Cons: Very expensive, Honey used in most plantbased dishes

Good food, lovely views.

There are a few nice vegan options here and their coffee is good. It’s very busy though and it took a long time for our order to be taken (people that came after us had their order taken before us and I was so hungry it upset me). I had the açaí bowl and a cap Freddo with soy milk they were both quite nice. Small servings though.

Pros: A few vegan options. , Nice view.

Cons: Quite expensive , Small servings

Expensive, but tasty and good views

The food here is a little expensive— my cappuccino with almond milk was €6.50 alone. However, the food was good and the view is fantastic. There isn’t much seating and the wait staff was always busy, so it was sometimes hard to flag someone down. There were a couple vegan choices, such as a vegan breakfast plate, fresh fruit, whole grain bread, and the açaí bowl, which I got. Also had almond milk, coconut milk, and soy milk options for coffee.

Pros: The view, Healthy food

Cons: Expensive , Crowded

best place for fresh vegan food and service!

The food here is amazing and it's family owned with wonderful service. Acai bowl is delicious, fruit bowl is very fresh, whole grain bread is good, soy/almond milk tasty, vegetable pasta is out of this world flavorful, and juices/smoothies are so amazing!

Pros: many vegan options

Cons: none
