Vegan fast food heaven - Edit
Almost too many delicious sounding options to choose from here. The bbq pizza with vegan chicken chunks was perfect, as was the comically large plate of loaded fries. Vegan snickers bar for desert was so decadent.
Read moreThey have a shop downstairs too with lots of vegan products. The bagels are definitely worth a sample!
Pros: Lots of options , Inexpensive

They have vegemite! - Edit
A good health food store with a bulk section, handmade vegan cheeses (yummy but just okay), some violife cheeses and beyond products! DELICIOUS bagels. Expensive, but as expected for a healthfood store on a tourist island. I didn't try the restaurant but most excitedly, they have vegemite! Small Jars and quite expensive but they were on sale, very nice after being away form Australia for 14 months! Would have loved to try the restaurant, maybe next time.

The only true and vegan spot! - Edit
Had some dishes there the last days. Everything was good and healthy. Friendly staff.
Read moreThere is a shop for reusable kitchen stuff and bottles upstairs and some old books, downstairs is a shop, where you can buy organic food and supplements. I warmly recommend the vegan homemade "snickers" and the cakes (frozen, they first have to melt).
Pros: Food, staff, prices

Delicious bagels and smoothie - Edit
Their bagel sandwich with tempeh was delicious! Wish I had bought some of their bagels from the shop below. Fresh fruit smoothie also delish!

Shop downstairs - Edit
Restaurant was closed when I was there, but shop downstairs was opened. They have tempeh, tofu, good choice of home made vegan sweets, spreads, cheese. And a lot of other items such as ready meals, sweets, milks, probiotics, mock meat or supplements and many more. Prices are european, sometimes items quite high. Variety of products is better than most convenient shops in guatemala.

Amazing place - Edit
The place is beautiful, especially the terrace. Also the food is nice, they’ve got vegan cheese and meat. The burgers are not that big but good for a snack. Also in the store downstairs you can find vegan self made chocolate bars and cakes. These are also very delicious (find them in the fridge).

Best vegan chicken burger of my life - Edit
Nice cozy restaurant, lake view, service was flexible (I switched my order after I found a new burger deal) if not the fastest, super friendly owners, great prices - what more can you ask for?

Increíble - Edit
Me pedí un buffalo chicken cheesesteak sub para llevar y estaba riquísimo! Picante, rico y bien aliñado. Si no cerraran tan temprano habría venido todos los días para la cena, muy recomendado.

Lovely place! - Edit
Lovely place with a few floors including a nice rooftop. Everything is made in house including vegan cheeses and meats. We had the chicken teriyaki sandwich and Alfredo pasta with BBQ chicken. Everything was nice and the seitan was really good, pasta was good but nothing amazing.
Read moreNote: Drinks can be sweetened with bee pollen so the place isn't 100% vegan. The shop downstairs also sells non vegan items.

Pros: Seitan!
Cons: Not 100% vegan!

So many options - Edit
This spot has an extensive menu, there's pasta, burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. I went in twice, had the Mac and cheese, salad, and a burger - all were great. With the burgers you can choose the pattie and bread you want, and toppings, lots of options. I didn't love the peanut brownie bar, too sweet for me. You can pay by card with a mark up here, or PayPal and zelle.

Will come again! - Edit
Absolutely amazing vegan food. The best food I have had in Central America so far! I had the chicken parmesan sub, nachos and a lime pistachio and avocado pie and it was all so tasty. The nachos could have a bit more kick but I also tried my friends Mac and cheese and that was great. Lovely to have some vegan junk food after months of rice and beans. I also had the blueberry, mint and lime smoothie and it was soooooo good.

good food but be careful - Edit
the food in the restaurant is exceptionally good and also vegan. But you have to be careful with the shop below. some products contain honey or milk powder and are therefore not vegan.

Vegan 🥰 - Edit
It is hard to find any vegan proteins or cheese in Central America, so this was supernice! They own made seitan and "bacon" (smoke tasted tempeh) were nice, also bagels. We ate hamburgs. Good, but the service could be better. Plenty of different combuchas, I liked ginger&passionfruit!
Read morePros: Vegan restaurant, lots of options!, Seitan, cheese etc nice products, Food was good, combucha also
Cons: Super slow service, Toilet not in use...(?), Wifi didn't work :D

Lots of choices and vegan 'meats ' - Edit
There was a lot of choice here! They use seitan to make vegan chikin and burger patties and do it well. The food itself had a lot of flavors going on: the herb and garlic house bread and the bagel were excellent too. The loaded fries plate is huge!

Lots of vegan options - we got a cheese burger, garlic hash brown in the side and a taco pizza. Burger and hash were great, pizza could be tightened up a little bit still enjoyable.

Amazing - Edit
There is so much choice that you don't know what to order!! We went for a burger and a sub and they were both very tasty. We also had the loaded fries which they seemed to be home made chips - really good too

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
If you are in San Pedro, please visit this place. There is a store on the first level, with the shop extending to the second floor. The second and third floors have the restaurant, with the third just a huge balcony. I sat on the balcony when I visited if it was not terribly windy.
Read moreThe food is absolutely incredible. I have had the burger, a sandwich (cannot remember which one), and the mac n cheese. The gluten free bread is wonderful, as well as the cheese sauce. I have also had some of the appetizers, like the cheese fries. The folks who work at the restaurant are great, and the entire vibe is calming.

Store, bookshop and restaurant! - Edit
We first saw the store in which you could get lost for some time. The staff then told us that it is also a restaurant and since we were hungry and looking for breakfast anyways we checked it out.
Read moreThe staff know exactly the ingredients from all the dishes and is very helpful with choosing/explaining. We went for two subs/sandwiches . You can choose your bun, but sadly today 2 options were not available. We chose the chicken parmesan sub and the bacon sandwich. At first the bacon alone tasted a little bit dry for me but with the vegan cheese and the other ingredients together it was really tasty. I did not like the tasteless bread but in most central American places I do not like it.
The parmesan sandwiches was even better and then we finished with two desserts that are made with coconut sugar. The avocado-lime-pistacho pie tasted mostly like lime, what I like but is maybe not for everyone. The chocolate caramel pie was just awesome and tasted like a mix out of snickers and Kinder penguin.
We will go again to this place!

Second time as good as the first. - Edit
This is a easy to find restaurant upstairs from their store. The restaurant is all vegan. The store has some items that are vegetarian. I didn’t see any meat. The food is well cooked and tasty. I have the build your own burger with tempeh bakon and Seitan burger. Last time I had the lentil burger and I think I liked it better. Both were good however. Their Cajun and garlic fries are so yummy. They make their own condiments and breads. All vegan. Afterwards I went to the market and got some hard to find vegan cheeses and things like liquid smoke, shoyu, vegan hair products, etc. very reasonable prices for Guatemala. For example, I paid 75 q for an item here that would cost me 129 q in Panajachel.
Read morePros: All vegan restaurant and most vegan store. , Great service and fresh food. , Lots of choices.
Cons: None
