Cozy & friendly

This is a very cozy café, and the staff are friendly. I had the breakfast bowl, but it wasn't as good as I expected. It was a bit too salty, and they had been a bit too heavy handed on the turmeric. The coffee was OK, but nothing special.

Nice little coffee

I went there a few times during my stay in Brussels because my Airbnb was close by and I really liked it. It's a nice place to have lunch, work a little, drink something hot.

Cute café with delicious juice!

They offered a brunch menu but also croissants and sandwiches. Additionally, they make their juices theirselves and they are sooo delicious. Croissants/ pain au chocolate was okay. Very friendly staff, would go there again!

Pros: Completely vegan, Fresh juices, Nice offers

Best vegan place in Brussels

This place is so cozy and welcoming. All the tables have one seat that's on a cozy bench or an armchair. Lots of people seem to go here for work because it's quiet, and even though all tables were taken it never felt crowded or busy.

The breakfast bowl consisted of scrambled tofu with tomatoes and tempeh as well as some really tasty fresh bread. Everything was very flavlorful. The tempeh slices were very thin which helped them absorb the flavor of the marinade better.

The blue latte is made with blue spirulina and is very tasty but subtle. A great hot beverage for anyone who doesn't want anything too sweet or too bitter.

Pros: Super cozy spot, Delicious food, Located in a lovely neighborhood

Best vegan place in the area

What a wonderful place for a nice lunch. 100% plant-based, the staff is very friendly and the place cosy and welcoming. You can also purchase a selection of their coffees and reusable mugs. I could not go without trying the Blue soy latte - made with blue spirulina (not only pretty but also tasty). And I went for the toast of the day: with scrambled tofu, mushrooms, a real treat.
I particularly liked the focus of the place on encouraging reuse: you can take a coffee to go with their Billie cup and they offer a discount if you bring your own mug.
Would definitively come back to try out their brunch.

Pros: Fully vegan, Original recipes, Cosy place

Brunch with my friend

Firstly, thank you for being open on Mondays and Tuesdays when all other vegan restaurants are closed. Secondly, thank you for offering salty options in the morning!
I really enjoyed the service and the cosy family atmosphere.
The food was delicious and I recommend the cappuccino 😁 with the perfect milk-cafe balance 👌

Pros: First of all, everything is vegan ✨, Nice, cute ambiance and service 💚🙌, Perfect capuccino and tasty quality food 🤤🥰

Only ok

We picked this place for the vegan brunch menu but we’re pretty disappointed by the number of things not available. The food was tasty enough but the service was mixed, overall wouldn’t recommend for eating.
The coffee was good as was the breakfast bowl, if a little pricey for the size.
However when we ordered the pancakes they let us know it would be a different type to those on the menu, they didn’t let us know almost every topping would be different too, so it was pretty different to what we expected, horribly sweet and not something we’d have chosen. By around 9:30 the croissants had all sold out too.
A cool hang out for coffee and maybe another time we’d have had better luck eating.

Cozy place with good food!

Small Café with all vegan food, freshly prepared, and lots of coffee options with different plant-based milk options! The staff is very friendly and speaks English well.
It seems a little expensive, but that might be a Brussels thing.

Absolutely amazing

This place is unique. They offer a large range of stunning breakfast dishes (eg pancakes, scrambled tofu) in a cosy place.
The place closes at 15h00. I once arrived at 14:00 hoping to get lunch; the manager apologized that there was "nothing left" from the menu... and then improvised us amazing avocado toasts😄
Besides, the fact that the food gets sold out towards the end of the day shows that they have success and that they care and avoid waste.

Pros: amazing food, friendly vibe, nice neighbourhood

Cons: Don't arrive too late

Good stuff

I had some pancakes and they were really delicious! The blue latte was also really nice. My friend had the grilled cheese and loved it. The prices are a little on the higher side for the portion size though.

Nice vegan caffe, pet friendly

We tried their weekend brunch twice and the second time was even better. Good taste, nice presentation and relaxing atmosphere. Their toasts and pancakes are really tasty, as well as the desserts😄
It's a pet friendly spot too, you can bring your dog with you :)

Breakfast all-day long!

We had a couple of their toasts (tofu omelette and beetroot hummus with vegetables), as well as the pancakes and one of the cakes.

Everything was delicious!
The menu is rather light but if you get a couple of things you will be nourished!

The staff was also welcoming, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
On top of everything, they open very early during the weekdays, perfect for breakfast (and more)!

Pros: opening times, yummy, friendly staff

Nice, cosy place and delicious waffle

I liked the place a lot, very cosy. On Sunday they offer only brunch and some desserts but is not full menu. The coffee was very nice and the food as well, specially the apple cinnamon pancakes!. I would say it lacked a bit of protein like something with tofu, tempeh or beans to be a complete meal but it was really tasty.

Pros: Atmosphere , Possible to share brunch , Variety of drinks

Cons: Brunch lacks more protein and veggies , Personnel not super smiling

Nice

Nice vegan cafe in St. Gilles, a bit expensive (mostly for drinks). Good cakes and they worth the price.
