Vegan options for waffle, Crepe & Gelato!

The vegan waffle with ice cream was decent! The vegan crepe & vegan Nutella was soft & yummy. The vegan cheesecake was nice (although a bit too sweet with jam topping). Between these three, I would recommend the waffle. We didn’t try any drinks but saw they have vegan milk options too. If you would like some desserts with the view of Acropolis, here is the place!

Pros: Good vegan options

Cons: Only outdoor seating (smoking area)

Inventive flavours!

Their waffles are nice - nothing special but very tasty. Otherwise I can recommend the ice cream flavours hazelnut, espresso and coconut. The latter has an amazing texture, it‘s full of desiccated coconut - that‘s pretty unusual and I can only recommend it! The staff is nice and all the vegan options are cleary labeled.

Vegan gelato

I tasted the vegan hazelnut and lime gelato. There were about 4 vegan choices including coconut. The hazelnut was so thick and creamy I would’ve thought it wasn’t vegan. I was in the mood for a lighter taste, so I went with the lime. It was tart and refreshing. The vegan choices were clearly marked with little signs that said “Vegan”.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Directly across from the Akropolis metro station, You can taste first

Cons: None

Nice place, nice waffle - they dont give us the ingredients

A really nice place, close to the metro station of Akropolis, offers vegan ice cream, vegan waffles with syrup/nutella/fruits/ice cream, vegan cappuccino and vegan sanwich with vegan cheese. The location isn't something special, but is really easy to find. Self-service. A bit pricey.
P.S. I asked for the ingredients as an ambassador for Athens and they always give excuses.

Conveniently located, friendly staff and decent Nutella

The waffles are fairly bland but the homemade Nutella is a great topping. Plus, well-advertised via a sign on the street leading to the Acropolis museum.

I'll definitely have to try the fruit and gelato next time!

Pros: Conveniently located, Various vegan dessert options

Cons: Can take a while for food to be prepared, Not wholly vegan

Terrific treat!

This is located on a street with bustle near the Acropolis. Although not specifically vegan, it offers a wide range of vegan gelato to have with waffles, crepes or pancakes. Vegan Nutella is also on the menu. This was such a find, decadent and delicious!

Good waffles!

We went here after reading all the good reviews, so had quite high expectations. We ordered vegan waffles with 1 scoop of ice cream. It wasn't quite as good as we had hoped, but it was pretty nice! There were two gelato flavors there (seemed a bit more like sorbet to me) which were banana and plum. Good location, kinda average setting. Would recommend checking it out.

VEGANS EAT HERE!

I had the vegan nutella waffle with ice cream and omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom!!!! They have loads of vegan flavors that they change, so it's not the same all the time. I have tried chocolate, pear, pineapple, coconut, pomegranate and fruit salad (over the course of a weeks holiday) I have no idea what other flavors they have but I recommend it all! My dad also had a regular milk ice cream and he enjoyed it so this place is good for everyone!

Pros: Amazing vegan ice cream , Amazing vegan waffles, Very friendly service

Cons: None, this place is amazing!

Delicious ice cream

Yes, they did it again. First time I found this place it brightened my day and this time it gave me a big smile again. This is great, several delicious vegan ice cream types, all nicely presented and labelled. Perfect place for an ice-cream pit stop right in the center of Athens, very close to the Acropolis and a metro stop.

They are prepared for English speakers and waffle eaters.

Would prefer to get the ice cream in a cone, but ok, you can also have it on a waffle.

YESS

Stumbled across this when visiting the Acropolis: family of four vegans all fully satisfied! Came early for some nice cream: delicious and clearly marked, so are now back for soy milk iced coffee, toasted vegan cheese sandwiches and vegan waffles and crepes. Fab.

Vegan treats!

I stopped by after a visit to the Acropolis and had their peach sorbet and lemon sorbet. I loved both, and the peach sorbet was especially marvelous.

They also have a large section of their menu (~two pages) dedicated to other vegan delights, including crepes, waffles, coffees, etc.

Pros: Peach sorbet!

Awesome ice cream, good range of flavours

Really nice vegan ice cream situated very close to the acropolis. A good range of flavours including chocolate, coconut, banana, coconut and pineapple. All clearly labelled. The only let down for me is the cones aren't vegan and I do love a cone!

Pros: good range of flavours, good location , yummy!!

Cons: comes aren't vegan

Only vegan ice cream in Athens

Finally, there is a place in Athens that offers vegan ice cream!

There are different varieties depending on the day, and so far they have all been decent. The chocolate one is fairly good!

I would like to see more options made with plant milk. Sorbet is nice, but there are more possibilities in veganism.

Pros: Decent vegan options

Cons: Not enough plant milk options, Closed on Sundays

I stumbled upon this restaurant after leaving the Acropolis museum and was so pleasantly surprised to find an icecream shop with vegan options. I splurged and got the Vegan Waffle with Nutella, Caramel and Gelato...all vegan! OMG YUM!!!

Pros: many vegan options , delicious food
