Delicious and plentiful vegan options - Edit
We came here for lunch and had Tropical Feelings mocktail to drink and Tropical Thunder for main. My boyfriend also had the curry in a hurry and a coffee & banana milkshake. Sadly the milkshakes and lassies couldn’t be veganised despite alternative milks being available as they include ice cream and buffalo curd. But there were loads of other options to choose from - including MULTIPLE VEGAN DESSERTS! I highly recommend the Tropical Feelings drink. Note that portion sizes are large. I could only eat half of the delicious sago mango dessert 🥲

Loved this spot! Everything we ordered (burgers, tofu, smoothie bowls) were so tasty. The restaurant also has a vegan cake of the day special where they donate half the money to dogs of ella to help the street dogs!

What a gem - Edit
A busy Cafe spread over three floors. A coffee shop at the front. Lots of choice. Presentation of the meals. The build your own burger was great and not seem anything like it (there were more options than a burger patty).

a dream - Edit
We’ve been here a couple of times and both food and service were always great. Heaps of vegan options and 50% of the profits from the cake of the day is donated to shelter dogs. The chocolate cake was surprisingly good, not too sweet, very decadent and filling. Avocado toast and jackfruit burger were also delicious. Great atmosphere and a good taste in music hehe definitely recommend!

So great for vegans! - Edit
They have so many vegan options clearly labeled! We went there three times and had the vegan burgers, scrambled tofu, pancakes, avocado toast and smoothie bowl. Everything was great! Because this place is so great it can be difficult to get a seat but the staff is very friendly and eager to get you a place to sit, once we had to wait just a few minutes.

Cons: Lassi was too sweet , Water was quite expensive

The waiters are not just not what you expect from a waiter. They just smile, look at you and walk away instead of taking an order.

Delicious - Edit
I really liked the food here. It was a bit more expensive for Sri Lanka standards but it was delicious and I can really recommend going there! Everything was clearly labelled if vegan or not! The staff was friendly and and there were 3 floors and nicely decorated. They even had games to play while waiting for the food.

Very very vegan friendly - Edit
I can say there are more vegan options than carnivorous ones. We had the baby jackfruit patty burger and it was awesome, and the gnocchi with pumpkin sauce, that were very well cooked even if not a local dish.
Read morePricey, but worth it. Still cheaper than eating similar stuff in our country (Italy)
Pros: Jackfruit burger, Cold beer, The guys speak English

Didn’t meet expectations - Edit
Halfway through a 6 week trip and I thought I’d take a break from local cuisine. I chose here based on reviews but was disappointed. The menu looks promising and perhaps I should have stuck with local fare. The gram omelettes was bland and dry, mine didn’t look like the pictures of others, unless they paid extra for all the sides. The smoothie bowl was average and more a smoothie plate. Cocktails were great, however, especially the curry mule. Nice building, though very much a western tourist bubble, like most of Ella. While I was there, several other customers thought it would be cool to start smoking in the middle of the restaurant, without any consideration for other people who were eating.

As like most places in Ella, food is more on the pricey side due to it being a tourist hotspot ~ nether the less, quality ingredients, great portion sizes and tasty 😋

Cozy restaurant with a really nice vibe - Edit
We really liked this place. The location is something special with many different flores and nice decoration. The food is really delicious. Of course it is at a higher price range, but still not overprized in my opinion.

Loved absolutely everything! Unofficial 5 stars - Edit
Came here twice over a 3 day stay because everything was just perfect! They have numerous vegan options and I wanted to try everything.
Read moreThey had a three course vegan dinner menu which was absolutely flawless. I would have had this meal anywhere in the world and would have been equally as happy. For the starter I had a mushroom based fried croquette, the jackfruit wellington for main (the grilled veggies and gravy were absolutely heavenly), and a chocolate mousse for dessert. This was absolute perfection.
Had the fried mushroom burger when I returned the second time and was blown away as well.
Fantastic coffee and all staff knew what vegan was! Service was fantastic.
