Super delicious and tons of vegan options - Edit
We ate a late lunch here today and almost couldn’t decide what to get because there were so many options . We ended up ordering like 5 different things (all vegan). All of them were delicious 🤤. Unfortunately they didn’t have any tofu anymore but that’s the only thing I could criticise really.

Tasty and fresh - Edit
We had two smoothies and both the Beirut city sandwich and the vegan ‘steak’ sandwich (which was cauliflower!). All the food was very tasty and they also had a huge selection of vegan cakes/desserts which looked super good! Everything is veggie or vegan, but about 80% vegan - so happy days!

Y'all gonna like it 🌯🌱 - Edit
Mexican Burrito 🌯
Read moreSuper tasty and quite good portion size. The orange sauce was awesome. A smokey cocktail sauce if I need to describe it.
Banana Chips were great as well.
Falafel Burrito 🌯
Fresh, crunchy and tasty. Well made bread and overall good mixture of ingredients.
Can recommend both but the favorite was the Mexican one. Not so cheap but perfect food. At least the ones we had.

So fresh and delicious - Edit
I was impressed about the amount of vegan options they have. We went three time because even though I love trying new place, the food was so good that it I prefer go some where I knew I was not going to be disappointed.
Read moreI am putting 4 stars because one morning I went and they didn't have coffee (?) but at least they had cold brew. Also the desert on their menu is not really representative of what they have as it vary on the availability.
Pros: Delicious and fresh food, So many vegan options, Affordable price
Cons: No coffee sometimes ?, Desert is not guaranteed

not tasty unfortunately, bad new management - Edit
So many people recommended this café to me and I was excited to try it out. In the end I got disappointed. My Chai tea tasted weird, too many spices. The desserts looked great so I tried the vegan carrot cake. Average nothing more, not even that yummy. Then I had the vietnamese spring rolls which lacked in taste and freshness. My boyfriend enjoyed his pasta though! But I wouldn't come back honestly.

I came back for dessert since there is not much more in SM. I had the brownie with ice cream, it was quite ok, much better than the cake. :)

Good flavours - Edit
I ordered the quinoa salad, it came with bread and sauce. There was alot of lettuce and i hoped for more of the other ingredients. The flavour was delicious. The pistachio raw cake was incredible, limonada de coco wasnt that good. Overall enjoyable but expensive.

Favourite food place in Colombia! - Edit
A vegetarian cafe but mostly all options were vegan / could be made vegan. We had the miso aubergine and the Viva Mexico burrito - both were great. We also got a brownie and a banana bread which were delicious. All the desserts apart from one were vegan, which was great as vegan desserts are hard to find in South America!
Read moreThere were also so many fun drink options - Bailey’s latte, orange infused cold brew etc

Lavender latte 🪻🥰 - Edit
Offers several vegan options and fronts a beautiful space. We were very excited to go through the menu and pick out things we would like to try. The food was good, but the portobello burger could have been better. The bread was so soggy that at some point we thought it was just dough (undercooked). also the avocado was a bit under ripe. Decent flavors and a wonderful lavender and macha latte. The tiramisu was too much coffee for me, but wonderful for my coffee drinking partner. I liked the brownie, but the ice cream needs some work. It had a slimy texture and was too sweet for my taste, but great try. 😊

Plenty of vegan options, super fresh - Edit
I had the quinoa salad which was a big portion. I also had the vegan tiramisu. However from the three dishes we tried the taste was good but not spectacular. Prices are a little higher on the side but I guess it's in the center. Overall a good place to chill out, it has a nice vibe overall with plenty of options

I have especially loved the "steak" sandwich, which was a huge coliflor with one of the tastiest sauces I've ever had! Thank you.

Delicious food in an ambient setting - Edit
Delicious food with a really nice chilled atmosphere. Fresh food with freshly baked bread and fresh coffee. As a veggie place, soo many options including a significant count of vegan options. The portion sizes were fairly large so a main each was more than enough.
Read moreOnly downsides we could think of is that the restaurant doesn't have AC or fans so can get a little hot at times. It was also a little pricey for Colombia but still fairly reasonable for the food that was received.
Overall, a very good place to eat lunch or dinner, highly recommended
Pros: Flavour , Portion size , Ambience
Cons: Price

Excelent option! - Edit
I was looking to eat tofu in a curry souce and then I found this cafe, where they have many vegan options with Tofu. Well, there is no curry sauce here, but they have a delicious tofu with cashew sauce. Very delicious!!! I recommend it not only for the best tofu in Santa Marta, but when we want to take a break of Colombian food and eat some fresh organic salads dressed with a variety of delicious sauces. For those who do not want to eat eggs, it should be read the ingredients carefully, since some desserts and preparations have ingredients with eggs.

Desafortunadamente, no hay muchas opciones con proteína. Pedí el rollo de tofu, pero la porción de tofu era muy pequeña ... los rollitos son buenos, osea: verduras en papel de arroz, con una salsa.
💒 Ambiente 9/10
El restaurante está en el centro, hay una terrassa pero los aves arriba no te dejan comer 😂 dentro, es muy lindo, y puedes trabajar sin problema.
💡Originalidad 7/10
Une restaurante vegetariano en santa Marta es bastante original !

The food here is amazing! My wife and I have tried the Vietnamese spring rolls, viva Mexico, poppyseed lemon vegan muffin, vegan tiramisu, and some starters. It’s very tasty and the staff are friendly. The vibe is very laidback and homey. We’ve had dinners 3 nights in a row

Bestes Café/Restaurant der Stadt! - Edit
Wunderschön eingerichtetes Café/Restaurant mit einer riesigen Auswahl an leckeren, gesunden veganen Gerichten. Egal ob Frühstück, Mittagessen, Kaffee, Desserts oder Abendessen, egal ob was deftiges, was leichtes, süß oder salzig, zu jeder Tageszeit findest du einzigartige vegane und vegetarische Gerichte. Dazu eine große Auswahl an Kaffee, frischen Säften und Smoothies. Das Team besteht aus jungen, herzlichen Leuten, die immer für ein Gespräch zu haben sind. Sehr zu empfehlen und meiner Meinung nach das beste Restaurant in Santa Marta!
Read morePros: Große Auswahl, Alles sehr lecker, Guter und freundlicher Service
