Absolutely wonderful! - Edit
You have different dishes for breakfast, lunch or Dinner. Before you go there, maybe make sure what kind of food you prefer at the moment.
Read moreFor Dinner they don‘t have a big selection.
They also have wonderful cakes!
We loved the outdoor area because it‘s full of plantes. Also the service was great (also in english)
Pros: Very tasty , Nice selection , Wonderful and comfortable

Lovely spot - Edit
Due to impulsive action on my part. I ended up waiting 4 hours for a bus. Found the delightful gardens of Kafe Botanika a lovely place to spend a couple hours. I had avocado toast and cafe americano, so I can’t really judge the overall menu. But the food coming out to other tables looked great. I sat in a garden setting with birds, potted plants, relaxed atmosphere. Mostly local clientele, and friendly staff. It feels like a great environment to work in or pass some hours.

Make a reservation if you are one or they won't seat you - Edit
Seated people without reservations but if you are one. Tough luck. Not very professional

Not my experience- I was sat and saw others seated too. Also not rushed at all.

Cutest cafe in San Sebastián - Edit
We sat outside where you could just enjoy the sun in your face while having breakfast.
Read moreThe staff were very welcoming and friendly. Many vegan options, we had all 3 vegan toasts for breakfast, hummus on sourdough bread, avocado on bread and vegan Nutella with banana and cinnamon. They also have oat milk for cappuccinos and freshly pressed orange juice.
The food and drinks were amazing and will definitely be back for more.
It’s dog friendly too 🐶
Pros: Dog friendly , Great vegan Nutella , Amazing location and view

vibe kings - Edit
Super great ambience — as the name might suggest, there are plants everywhere! A few main courses are vegan, but they are not very clearly labeled as such. The thai curry (3.5 stars) was smoky and pretty yummy; the vegan burger (4.5 stars) was quite unique in my vegan burger experience and I will come back for it, as well as the algarroba cake for dessert!

Solid choice, but could be improved - Edit
Had the Thai curry and it was really good- haven’t had a curry like this, it tasted smokey, which was quite yummy. Had the carob and sweet potato cake slice for dessert. Was a little dry but delicious with sauce, the slice was ginormous! I was very full afterwards. Partner had an Omni plate and enjoyed her dish a lot, so a solid choice to go with omnis.
Read moreService was a bit spotty, very friendly lady serving us but they were also understaffed as it was quite busy throughout the evening. The menu is in Basque/Spanish but because it’s online you can press the translate button and it all turns into English (the waitress actually showed us this).
Ambience is super cute, really loved the set up and location.
Pros: Big portions , Ambience , Tasty
Cons: Can be busy, try to head in earlier to reserve, Service is only ok due to busyness

Loved how many vegan options there were. The vegan meatballs and poached pear were some of the best food I've had on this trip to Spain so far

Rude staff - Edit
We went for lunch but left the restaurant without eating there. Their menu changes daily so you need to scan a code to see what’s on the offer. No food was marked vegan, neither allergens were listed ( so I couldn’t guess). After scanning the menu for 10 minutes and trying to figure out what I can actually eat, I politely asked waitress what food was vegan. I was arrogantly told that she’s busy and didn’t have time to talk to me. At that point we left…

Amazing food but weird rules - Edit
I went there once to share a menu with a friend, which wasn't a problem at the time, and the food was really great. A few month later I took my parents for lunch, we wanted to order two menus and some some dishes (they sounded more appealing to us and were not hungry enough for three menus) but they insisted on us ordering three whole menus and were getting a little rude. I get that it's not okay to order only one sidedish during lunchtime, but we were gonna oder quite a lot of things! In the end we left without eating there.
Read morePros: Food nicely decorated, Mostly delicious
Cons: Expensive, Rule of every person having to order whole menu?

Nice looking bar, few vegan options - Edit
Update June 2022:
Read moreEven less vegan options nowadays. Uninterested waitress. When asked if the bizcocho was the only vegan cake, she answered: yes, but we have glutenfree cakes.
She thought the cookie de mantequilla without gluten and lactose was also vegan but when I asked again and mentioned eggs, she said "ah yes it has eggs, but no gluten."
2019:
Vegan options limited. Quite expensive. Vegan aioli with the patatoes didn't have a lot of flavor, missing the garlic.

Pros: Close to bus and train station
Cons: Expensive , Takes a long time to take order

Terraza preciosa para ir con amigos y ganas de hablar. - Edit
Buena atención. Fantástica tarta de queso. Ricos licuados.
Read morePonele que tienen como 7-8 opciones veganas. Algunos muy comunes como el humus,el tabule o la hamburguesa, lo que denota falta de creatividad. Podrían veganizar más platos, o al menos ofrecer opción vegana si sustituyeran la miel por agave o incorporarán algún queso vegano. #Veganuary
Cons: Carete, No tiene muchas opciones veganas, más vegetarianas
