Someone awesome recommended this place to me and I'm so glad I checked it out. Great comfort food and good vibes. Community bulletin board by the stairs with info on yoga classes and other happenings in Reykjavik.

West African Stew - Yum!

We enjoyed the West African stew here. It’s a fun, cozy vibe. The upstairs has floor seating as an option, too! Thankful for this vegan restaurant in Reykjavik!

Wish it was better

We got the mushroom sandwich and the creamy broccoli soup. Unfortunately, both were not very good tasting - especially for the sandwich, you could tell the mushrooms came from a can and were not processed much to remove the "can" taste.. the broccoli soup didn't taste much like broccoli.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good size portions

Cons: Not tasty, Expensive compared to other vegan places in Reykja

Awesome - best variety of vegan cuisines in Reykjavik

Miso Broccoli soup *****
Sourdough bread is as good as it gets
I chose the West African because I’ve never had it. I loved it! Jose, who was kidnapped by a Viking and stayed (his words) on holiday from the Bronx at the time was friendly & very helpful is another good reason to go!

Pros: Food was excellent , Ambiance is superb, The Nicest staff

Cons: None

Really delicious

We had lunch here today and the food was delicious. We had lentil dhal, one of the salads, a peanut butter smoothie and a peanut butter energy ball. Everything was really very good. We also had a ginger kombucha. It’s the only place I’ve found kombucha in Reykjavik. I’m sure I’d eat here regularly if I lived in Reykjavik. Definitely worth a visit. Conveniently located as well. Staff is very nice.

Pros: All plant based , Many options

Such a vibe! Cacao drink and ceremony

Finally a place where music, vibes and drinks are perfect. Here you can drink real raw cacao and dal or sandwiches. Cakes and fresh juices. There is a shop downstairs that bring you to the Hindu world and also they do cacao ceremony every Friday 🙏🏼

Good food, but nothing extraordinary

It was good food, friendly service. But to earn 5 stars I would expect to feel they do something very creative or the food is decorated lovely, or the restaurant has a extraordinary ambiente. To me it is a too typical vegan food place. Too alternative touch witch lack of professionalism.

Two words: Orgasm Cake

I had their soup of the day (rich, creamy, delicious tomato) which came with fresh bread and butter. I also had the “Orgasm Cake” which was an amazingly delicious blueberry cheesecake. Drool!

Really great

Really great Café in a hippie/ hipster style.
You have a nice view on the main/ shopping street.
I had the Peanutbutter Love smoothie and a piece of Orgasm cake and yes, it felt almost like an orgasm.
Would go there again!

Soothing stews

Had the Mama Jamaica and West Africa stews - both nourishing and flavorful. Mama Jamaica was a sweet stew with veggies, chickpeas and potatoes, West Africa had tomatoes, spinach and peanut butter, both over rice. Also, freshly pressed beet juice was a treat! While a little on the pricy side, could’ve easily done with one stew for two instead of two because the portions are generous. Wish I’d had room for dessert.

Brilliant flavors and great atmosphere

We had the Mama Jamaica and West Africa stews. They were very delicious! Homemade comfort food with amazing flavors. By far the best dishes in Iceland.

My favorite restaurant ever

We went by accident and didn’t have any expectation and we found out the perfect place to have a cozy dinner. The food was amazing, the teas were incredible and in the middle of the cold in January we couldn’t be warmer 😌
It was a truly gastronomic and relaxing experience, we could even take our shoes and sit on the floor.
The upstairs saloon is beautiful

Pros: Perfect atmosphere , Delicious food, Best teas ever
