simple and lezzetli - Edit
There is a very friendly environment and the food was very delicious. I tried the kofte sandwich and the seitan wrap. The prices are a bit expensive compared to the regular prices in Turkey, but still is cheap.

Lovely place and amazing Turkish breakfast - Edit
We went there for breakfast and it was really good. We had a traditional Turkish breakfast all vegan! I was amazed to see how good and tasty it was, specially the cheese!
Read moreWe order the breakftast for 2, and even if it was delicious we could not finish it because it was too much!
The space is quite small but quiet, you can enjoy the coffee in the small outside area and eat inside.
There are lots of cats, so if you are a cat lover this is your place :)
I would definetly reccomend the place and come back next time I visit Istanbul!
Pros: The food is delicious, There is a sitting area outside, The staff is friendly
Cons: There are cats, for someone could be a problem

Purrrfect - Edit
Delicious food, homemade desserts, cheeses, creams, marinated seitan. Absolutely loved the vegan full Turkish breakfast! Everything really is delicious and the staff are wonderful. Good filter coffee too.
Read moreIt may be difficult for those with a disability. The toilet is TINY and there is one large step to get up, making it difficult but not totally impossible to visit in a wheelchair. They are installing an air conditioner as I write this.

Pros: Good location, takes card and cash, Wifi
Cons: Bad for cat allergies but it is very clean, Not really wheelchair accessible

This place has such good food. The owners were very nice and the service was great. The portions are on the smaller side but that just means you get to try more!

delicious and nice atmosphere - Edit
Cats all around, this place is perhaps not for people allergic to cats, but it's still very clean and nicely decorated. We had a cesar salad that had seitan and a good creamy dressing, as well as a platter with traditional Turkish dishes. We also got the huge chocolate cake which had a strawberry layer, and even got some other desserts to go for the next day. We really enjoyed it, definitely go there if you're in Istanbul!

Brilliant meat alternatives - Edit
Tried the toast with sucuk and the wrap with seitan. Quite successful in terms of taste and flavor. The place is cute and kind of vintage. Not in the chaotic part of Kadıköy therefore fair enough to say quiet and peaceful. Owners are kind and interested. Portions could be a little bigger. In a nutshell, great place highly recommended.

Fantastic lemon cake! - Edit
This is a stylish and cute vegan cafe close to the ferries and well worth a journey to to Asian side. I would come again even if just for a slice of the the delicious lemon cake, however all the food we ordered was delicious, fresh and made quickly with care. Thank you for being vegan pioneers.

Read morePros: 100% vegan, Plenty of food options, Cats everywhere (if you like cats)
Cons: A bit small (although it wasn’t busy), Cats everywhere (if you’re allergic)

Small but cozy place with delicious food - Edit
Tiny restaurant (with few indoor seats), serving some dishes and wraps as well as a daily changing soup, also offers sweets and cakes
Read moreWe were very pleased with the mixed platter and the two salads we had. The salads are of large size and quite fresh if not taken as half option which surprised and delighted us.
One has to know that there are cats all around, so if you're allergic...
Pros: Entirely vegan, Food was tasty, salad fresh and unconventional, Offers a mixed platter
