Es un lugar con una buena oferta de comidas rápidas, los precios no son los más económicos pero respecto a lo que ofrecen y la calidad de los platos se queda satisfecho y a gusto por la comida.
Gran lugar

Best place to eat in Santa Marta

I went there a few times and each time in was so tasty. I loved everything. The portions are big enough. Don't forget to taste the desserts: they are so good and there are many vegan options.

Pros: Delicious food and big enough, Extensive menu, Cute place

Buena opción - precios altos

Me encantó el muffin de limón! Es agradable encontrar un lugar con algunas opciones veganas tanto de comida como postres. Buena ubicación, buen ambiente, personal amable y precios algo elevados.

Delicious food in an ambient setting

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.
Only 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

Really delicious vegan options!

Really lovely place with amazing vegan options. My boyfriend and I had a cauliflower steak open sandwich and tofu summer rolls, both absolutely delicious. They also have homemade macadamia nut milk which they do in an iced coffee, so good!

Excelent option!

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.

Cómodo - varias opciones

👨🏽‍🍳 Servicio 8/10

🧆 Comida 7/10
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 !

💸 Precios - altos

Pros: Ubicación , Decoración , Ambiante

Cons: Precios, Pocas opciones con proteína

Nice vibe and delicious vegan options.

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

Pros: Huge variety of vegan options , Tasty and delicious vegan food, They have desserts

Cons: They don’t have a home delivery service.

Bestes Café/Restaurant der Stadt!

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!

Pros: Große Auswahl, Alles sehr lecker, Guter und freundlicher Service

Apart from that the menu was very varied, the atmosphere nice and portions big.

Pros: Lots of options for vegans , Big portions

Cons: Thai curry not good

Obsessed

This place is amazing. Excellent menu, service, atmosphere. There is a water fixture inside, lots of plants, lanterns, lots of pillows and seating to lounge… can’t say enough good things. I come in here all of the time. Fresh bread, pastries, coffee, brunch, lunch, dinner, and so many options for drinks.

Hip, tasty but slow and over priced

I'm completely updating my review in Feb 2023 having last visited this place around 4 years ago. It has become now one of our go to place in Santa Marta with our favorite dishes being the Thai Curry and Shakshuka (often do not have so ask first). I tried the Pad Thai but thought that the noodles were over cooked and too soft. It is more expensive then other restaurants and the clientele appears to be mostly foreign tourists. There are signs that say no computers but some people ignore these signs. There are also some cool hangout beds where you might see the odd tired traveler sleeping or chilling. Food takes a while to be served (sometimes 30 plus mins) but the staff are friendly. Dishes to avoid: Quinoas Tabuli salad (way too little and too dry).

Update; portion sizes shrank in February 2023 which in my opinion make the dishes now way over priced compared to what you can get elsewhere. Cigarette smoke also blows in from those sitting and smoking at outside tables (suggest do not permit smoking at outdoor seating).

Pros: Cool atmosphere and music, Some tasty dishes, Nice staff

Cons: Pricey , Slow service, Smoke from outside tables

Delicious brunch food

Although the prices are high for Colombia the food is really good. Probably all of the options are at a minimum vegetarian but there are lots of vegan options as well.

Pros: Delicious, Organic, Farm to table

Cons: Expensive, Food took a while to be served
