Nos encantó la variedad de la carta fue sorprendente y los sabores muy originales y creativos, fácil de llegar y su espacio es muy acogedor, encontramos un libro de Alex grey y me encanta ese artista , volveremos a ir cuando rateamos en santa Marta un lugar recomendado y si sales con hambre del tayrona no dejes de ir .

Best in town - Edit
This is the best restaurant in town. The food is really good and it has an environmental friendly vibe. You can find people from different cultures and they have a little waterfall with some fish!

Cool Place to Chill - Edit
We came here all three of our nights in Santa Marta as it was easy to get vegan options and the food is decent. I had the salad twice which was huge and quite healthy. The smoothies are super tasty too. There is a nice ambiance; it feels quite ‘traveller friendly’, lots of tourists about. Although I don’t approve of keeping fish in tanks it was difficult not to like the two fish ponds they have. The staff were pleasant and friendly.
Read moreThe only issue was that we came once and ordered a coffee, which they forgot. Then they brought the wrong drink, and eventually the coffee. A small slip up, nothing to put me off going again. I would recommend a visit if you’re in the area!
Pros: Healthy Food, Beautiful decor, Plenty of choice
Cons: Staff could sometimes be a bit slow

Amazing - Edit
You've gotta try this one out. The menu has so many vegan options, and they are very nice. I tried the blueberry smoothie, which I had to order twice, because it was so good. Then a falafel wrap and the next day a "green goddess" smoothie bowl. The food is great, the vibe is nice and it's in an excellent location.

Great vegan choices and deserts! - Edit
Ikaro has a wide variety of vegan options, which are all tasty! My favorite is the thai curry and the vegan brownie. Ikaro also has fast wifi and plug-points and is a great place to work (although it doesn’t have AC). Good vibes all around at Ikaro.

Really tasty food - Edit
We have been there several times during our stay in Santa Marta and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the restaurant. About half of the menu is vegan and the rest is vegetarian. They have several vegan salads, sandwiches and main dishes like burger, asian-style pasta and a mexican bowl. They also have a few sweet vegan dessert options like brownies and carrot cake but not all of them are always available.

Seems like green washing - Edit
Food is average...even lower. Had the pad thai and curry - was terrible. Pad thai with muddy noodles and way to much salt.
Read moreBeverages okay - but don't forget to order without sugar. Otherwise it's way too sweet to drink.
Service tries to be friendly and does a good job but most of them seem very unmotivated and overworked.
Poor option for the only real veggie restaurant in Santa Marta. But at least they have one.
Pros: Many vegan options , Good quality coffee , Organic products (so they pretend)
Cons: Poor food quality and missing cooking skills , Overseasoning in every direction , No mucho amor en la comida

Disappointing - Edit
After reading so many positive reviews about the cafe I was pretty stoked to try it out, only to be quite disappointed. I waited about an hour for my food, I ordered the pasta dish and was eating solo. It was not good, it was incredibly salty, I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. I didn't have a great experience with the staff, I asked multiple times for the bill and eventually just got up and went to the counter to pay because I really had to leave. It was a busy night for them, the cafe was pretty full so I get that things slip sometimes. I just wouldn't return again.
Read morePros: Interesting options on the menu , Clearly labeled vegan choices
Cons: Super slow , Pasta dish was inedible, Staff weren't exactly friendly

The Place is bit over-hyped/rated. - Edit
The cafe is in a nice corner. They offer good products that have their price. I ate there three times and was disappointed once. The only vegetable source of protein is tofu ,“quinoa, and chickpees”, which is a bit boring.
Read moreI really appreciate coffee, especially filter. But theirs was for Columbia circumstances and standards not tasteful. Sorry.
Pros: Schöner Ort , Viele pflanzliche Gerichte , Kartenzahlung
Cons: Wenig Auswahl an pfl. Proteinquellen, Geschmacklich durschnittlich , Preis/Leistung semi gut

Not that great - bad service - Edit
I ate here twice. This place has great reviews which are not justified. It sells actual vegan dishes which is a change, but they are only ok (ie expensive for what they are). The service is awful. You have to beg the staff to serve you and the food is also really slow
