Colorful, healthy food!

We had bowls for dinner and really enjoyed our visit. The food is quite expensive, but since they use various fresh veggies that’s completely fine. They close pretty early (like many places in Stockholm), so make sure you don’t show up too late!

Pros: Wonderful interior design, Nice staff

Buddha Bowl 💚

5 stars for the Buddha Bowl alone, it was out of this world delicious. Perfect combination of colour, flavour and texture and the wasabi dressing was delicious. I would happily eat this meal every day. UGH SO GOOD!!!

Aside from that there were just a few minor negatives:
- my boyfriend’s burger was missing the vegan bacon like it said on the menu
- smoothie size was way too small for the price
- shame about the excess plastic use. For example the sauces came in disposable plastic containers, and was given a plastic straw without asking (didn’t need one)

Prices seemed pretty standard for Stockholm and there is plenty of seating indoors or on the back deck.

Pros: delicious colourful food, all vegan

Cons: missing item from meal, smoothie was tiny

Great Buddha Bowls

We came here for dinner and really enjoyed our meals. They have English menus which was helpful. The Buddha bowl was delicious. The staff was very nice and helpful. Nice to have such a healthy and tasty meal!

Pros: Vegan, Good menu

A shady and terrible business

The food is delightful and the waitresses are some of the best people, but the business is handled horribly by the people in charge. You can tell that the service staff is under too much stress and pressure, working ridiculous shifts and getting little to no pay for it, I have seen people come and go during my time eating at this restaurant, and when they leave they are in such bad shape that they can't keep on working... and I simply can't support this business knowing how terrible their business ethic is towards their own staff.

Top quality

I took my uncle here (very non-vegan), and he absolutly loved the vegan burger that they served. The smoothies offered are also amongst the best in Stockholm, and there is a huge amount of space and some great outside seating options!

Pros: Large place with great seating, Good food, Easy to get to

Cons: Not enough meal options

Mindlessness at its worst.

This place couldn’t tell me the ingredients in their food. Seriously?! At a place for diet restrictions, you don’t know your ingredients...??? Super disappointing. Not even good food. Just posing for Hawaiian-themed Instagram photos. Shallow. Waste of time.

Pros: Vegan, Good location, Quick

Cons: Expensive, Mindless, Not fresh

Tasty, extensive and slow

I recommend this place for the food and the atmosphere. But! The staff isn’t the most friendly and you sometimes have to wait for a very long time to get your order.

Pros: Great food, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Expensive, Slow service, Quite rude staff

Fantastic!

A great place with wonderful, colourful vegan food - plenty of gluten free alternatives for those of us who are also celiacs!
A bit too popular at lunchtime which mean a long queue. But I understand why the queue is there!

Great food, beyond terrible service

The ambiance and food was delicious but totally not worth our hour and a half wait to get our food. We had to repeatedly ask if our food was still coming and spent the last 30mins standing waiting for our food to be ready. Once it was ready it wasn’t delivered and was completely cold. I won’t return.

Pros: Good food

Cons: The worst service I’ve ever experienced., Rude waiters

Lovely vegan cafe

I loved the Buddha Bowl and the falafel wrap we got. The atmosphere was also really nice with outdoor seating. There’s also an English menu. Would love to go and try their other items next time!

Pros: Food , Atmosphere

Cons: Wait time was a bit long after we placed an order

Definitely a favorite

This is one of those places that you just know is going to be a favorite after only having walked in the door. Had the place recommended by several locals. The space is warm and welcoming and has a second floor over the bar that overlooks the rest of the cafe. The staff are friendly and the vibe is down to earth and relaxing. The food is terrific, with lots of raw options: lots of “bowls” (buddha bowl, falafel bowl, kale salad bowl etc) juices, smoothies and smoothie bowls, raw cakes and more.
We ended up sitting here enjoying the atmosphere and tasty food for several hours. (but that’s typical us when we enjoy ourselves hehe)
During summer it has outdoor seating through at the back.

Pros: Raw food options , Spacious , Great vibe

Best Restaurant Experience I've Had Since Going Vegan

Where do I start about this place? The atmosphere is amazing (good music, lots of people, nice interior); the food is beautiful and delicious; and there are so many options. And oh, everything is vegan. This is the best restaurant experience I've had since I went vegan. Left with a smile on my face, and I sure will come back for more. Thank you, Mahalo.

Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful food, Great atmosphere

Where you don’t feel out of place as a vegan

I love that I can order anything from the menu, no need to read the ingredients. The food tastes great too.
The place is popular & gets crowded, finding a table can be tricky.

Overcrowded

My bf and I went to Mahalo for a Sunday lunch, mainly because all other places in the area were closed. The food was decent but nothing special, in fact my hot chocolate was a joke, with hardly any hint of cocoa in it... The atmosphere in general was irritating because the place was packed and there were like 10 people queuing to order food to the point the front door was open half of the time, which made me sit there in a coat to keep warm. Imho, the place has too many tables for the space available ;-)
It was also not easy to get when the food was ready as all order numbers were shouted once and in Swedish, which was hard to follow in all that clamour. I missed ours by a few minutes even though I speak the language xD

Updated from previous review on 2017-11-04

Pros: Open on Sundays, Large portions

Cons: Too many tables/people for the space available, Hot chocolate with no chocolate in it :P

Beautiful presentation and delicious food

Delicious smoothie bowls, salads and coffee in a open and friendly space. This has become a frequent spot every time I visit Stockholm.

Delicious!!👌

I ate lunch with my mom here. I really enjoyed my plate, a cold salad with tofu, Brown rice a lot of vegetables and stuff. Mom didn’t like her falafel that much but that was just because she does not like creamy stuff (the hummus) or koriander. She also has a stupid opinion about tofu.. But anywas I think that she acctually would like my plate and i probably would be an even bigger fan of hers👌

It was very noisy and we waited a pretty long time.. I still think I’ll come back but maybe I’ll have breakfast then.

Pros: Good food, 100% vegan

Cons: Noisy, Not much hot food

Plenty of vegan options!

Hälsocafét is a nice, vibrant café which opened in October 2015. The interior is light and Scandinavian and consists of two floors. My friend and I had our first acai bowl here and it was very tasty and nicely presented. Fresh and filling although quite pricey at 75 SEK. However the ingredients aren't super cheap (especially acai berries).

I'll definitely be back and look forward to trying their fika (Swedish for coffee and cake).

Updated from previous review Jan 2016:
Since my last review I've been back twice to enjoy their hot food. First dish I had was deliciously marinated tempeh (locally produced!) with fresh potatoes and salad. Today I had the burger plate which consists of a Vegme soy burger served between two leafs of lettuce, salad, sweet potato fries and a nice chili mayo. I reckon they could lower the price (139 kr) during lunch hours but considering the place was packed they don't seem to have any problems bringing in customers. The portions are quite generous though. Next time I'll try one of the cakes!

Please note: EVERYTHING is now 100% vegan!

Very Tasty

We were there for breakfast and it was most delicious. Staff is very nice and the variety of food is very good. Especially the raw blueberry cheesecake is amazing! Quite pricy but definitely worth it.
Ca$hless payment was no problem, so no need for a bad rating.

No cash

It´s a shame that they don´t take cash anymore. I really liked their raw cake and the place looks cozy. We´re not coming back til they start taking cash again.

Pros: raw cake

Cons: not possible to pay with cash
