Great cakes and marvellous coffee

We could choose out of a big variety of vegan and gluten free cakes. All we had tasted very well.
There were also very creatively flavoured cakes, such as the matcha-azuki bean cake.

Pros: Covers vegan and as well gluten free needs

Sweet cafe with lots of options

I found it difficult to find veg friendly places near where I was staying so was happy to get to Sweet Irene before they closed for August holidays.
Cute cafe with lovely decor. The staff were super helpful.
My friend had a caffe freddo and was really impressed. The waitress also explained the technique in making it to my friend. I only had a hot spiced chocolate and a vegan biscotti as was on the way to the airport. However, Bergamo is only a 2.5 hour flight for me so I will definitely return!

Cool venue for a break in Bergamo

Wide selection of vegan pastries (biscuits and cakes). The shop is very cute and cozy and the personnel extremely kind. Definitely worth a stop when wandering around the city center and looking for some tasty veggie snack.

Cozy vegan friendly cafe and smiley staff :D

A very cute and cozy bio cafe in a small side street in Bergamo centre. The staff is very friendly and the interior is about as warm and homey as it can get! The prices for the pastries are average for Bergamo, whereas the drinks and ice-cream were very affordable. Despite the fact that this was not a completely vegan cafe, I, as a vegan, had more than enough to choose from. Overall, very much worth a visit!

Delicious and friendly staff

The small café in the city center of Bergamo is cozy and has the friendliest staff! They are offering lots of vegan options, mainly sweet pastries, but they also offer a lunch menu. We had plant-based yoghurt with fruits and granola for breakfast and it was delicious!

Pros: Cozy, Friendly staff, Vegan pastry

Cons: Can‘t think of any!

Worth a Visit!

Very glad I stopped here during my couple days in Bergamo. Lots of vegan meals and desserts, including local specialties, and everything I tried was delicious. For tea lovers, they also have a very nice selection to offer! Would highly recommend and definitely stop again!

The perfect spot for coffee and sweets

I visited this cafè store because of the good reviews and it’s closeness to the ‘città alta’ and I can say that it didn’t dissapoint me at all! The place is small and cozy and offers a huge amount of vegan pastries and also plant based milks for coffee. Despite the rush in the morning the server was nice and had a chat with everyone and also helped me choosing pastries. I can’t wait to visit it again.

Pros: Many vegan pastries, Kind servers

very yummy vegan options!

This cute little café has amazing vegan options. There are savoury and sweet things on the menu. I had the vegan zucchini fritatta, a peach muffin and my boyfriend ordered a hummus sandwich. Unfortunately there was no hot chocolate but I got some soy milk with my chai tea.😄I'd definitely recommend to come here for vegans!

Pros: many savoury and sweet vegan options, nice atmosphere, cute decor, friendly and helpful staff

Cons: no hot chocolate

One of the best in Town!

I live here and for sure, Sweet Irene is one of the best places in town for vegans/vegetarians! You can enjoy a nice lunch or simply take a cup of tea with a slice of cake, it's not really cheap but definitely worth It.

Pros: Many vegan desserts, Lunch menu always changes

Cons: really small place, can be full on lunch time, not really cheap

Great vegan lunch and sweets

Very charming place, it feels special once you open the door! it's a vegetarian restaurant and they offer many vegan options, with quality ingredients. We had a delicious vegan lunch (3 dishes, bread, dessert and tea), the service was fast despite all the people there! The ladies were very friendly and explained everything to us in English.

Pros: Vegan dishes, Great service, Plenty of vegan dessert options

Delicious lunch options!

Sweet Irene is a very nice café where they offer a huge variety of cakes (some are vegan) and also a choice of vegan and vegetarian savoury dishes. Everything I tried was very good and well-seasoned (pasta with pumpkin, salad, grains with caponata, cake). You can try several dishes at a time because they offer a mixed plate of 3 of their daily dishes. Seating is limited, the tables in the cafe are fine while the downstairs area is not so nice.

Lovely Lunch

I really like this place and could easily go back. The food was interesting and tasty, the café is cozy, and the staff are friendly. They also have a great selection of good, loose teas, which they also sell. They have lots of yummy-looking desserts. It's very busy at lunchtime with locals so you can tell that it's popular for a reason.
The Happy Cow description says it is veg-friendly, but I didn't see any meat on the menu. To me it looked vegetarian and the meals I saw were all vegan or vegetarian and they mark them clearly. I had the lunch special: a lentil pancake beside a sort of ratatouille [but better] with a really tasty salad.

Pros: Yummm!, nice place, good teas
