this is such a fabulous spot with the best views over the valley! the vegan options are limited but i was so pleased to discover they had soya milk for coffees and a vegan lemon cake. perfect at the end of our walk.
Nice and friendly place along the walk, and in a very scenic location.
The coffee was OK. Only 1 of the cakes is vegan and they have no savoury options.
The vegan cake is pretty poor, but it's good they have an option!
The lemon cake is a great hiking reward after doing the Risco and 25 fontes levada walk, shame they don't do anything savoury but it was awesome to get a delicious vegan lemon cake in the middle of nowhere!
Es gibt veganen leckeren Lemon Cake, leider aber keine weiteren veganen Alternativen.
Außerdem gibt es Sojamilch. Ist ein nettes kleines Café und wenn man keinen großen Hunger mitbringt, kann man dort wunderbar auf einen Kaffee einkehren.
Wir waren in dem Gebiet 2 x wandern und sind danach jedes Mal in dem Café gelandet. Es ist wirklich idyllisch hier. Mitten in der Natur mit toller Aussicht und super Service. Wir haben uns 2 Mal den Zitronenkuchen gegönnt und ein Mal Mittag hier gegessen. Mein Mann hatte die Nudeln mit Pilzen und Spinat, extra ohne Sahne... Super lecker 😋 hätte ich im Nachhinein auch lieber genommen, weil vegan. Ich hatte stattdessen eine Tomaten Quiche (nur vegetarisch).
It is super nice that they offer soy milk, because it’s the only place near the hiking route where you get coffee at all. I had a cappuccino with soy milk and the vegan lemon cake. However the coffee was not so good, the cake was tasty and the people were friendly.
Me and a couple of friends what is called a "levada" (basically a really long walk along the mountain) and found this little spot where they had a really nice vegan lemon cake.
You might also want to consider taking a little bit of food to feed the birds that live around here, they are very cute and friendly.
A cafe in an idyllic location that offers plant milk for hot drinks, a rarity in western Madeira. We had two nice soya lattes with a lovely view, though it's a tourist hotspot so so everything is a bit pricey.

Cake is good but.. - Edit
They had like 8 different types of sandwiches and none of them were vegan. After a exhausting hike it would've been nice to get more then a cake.
