Good breakfast if you're not vegan.

The four of us all chose the vegan breakfast which was quite small in size. We asked for extra bread and plant milk which was charged extra. The vegetarian breakfasts with eggs all around us looked much better. This explains a bit the good reviews on google.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Vegan breakfast, Coffee, Plant milk and more than 2 slice bread costs extra

Buena comida en un ambiente un tanto curioso

Nos encontramos el sitio de casualidad. Entramos a merendar y el ambiente era raro: lleno de fotos, libros, estatuas cual virgen y hasta una tele reproduciendo cosas del señor de la secta.

El café y el té que tomamos muy rico. La tarta de anacardos también muy buena. Nos dejaron un cargador de móvil también.

Salvo el ambiente sectario, el sitio está bien.

Nos vemos en el quinto planeta, benevolianos.

Pros: Many options

Cons: Cultish, Caro, Sectario

Tasty food but a bit cult-y

Nice vegetarian cafe with a selection of Indian-inspired dishes (daal, curry, etc). They also offer some daily changing options like a soup and curry of the day. Portions are large and the food is tasty. Most dishes are vegan. Overall, it’s a great option in Salzburg, though I found the cult-worship vibe (the whole restaurant is dedicated to this guy and there are pictures and statues of him everywhere. Even a TV playing recorded videos of him) a bit uncomfortable and over the top. Cash only.

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly and fast service , Generous portions

Cons: Cult vibe , Cash only

Great breakfast and lunch

We came here for lunch. You sit down and there is table service. It’s a nicely decorated cafe. I had the vegan ham sandwich and a vegan iced coffee for lunch a couple of days ago. The iced coffee was a bit sweet but delicious. Really nice vegan ice cream. My partner had the spinach and chickpea curry which he liked.

We came back for breakfast a couple of days later. I got the vegan breakfast which included a full oat cappuccino, porridge, vegan ham and bread. I thought it was great value and I especially loved the porridge. The bread was delicious. Fruit and nicely cooked with cinnamon. My partner had the porridge and a fresh orange juice, both of which he enjoyed.

The service is nice, the menu is in English at the back of the menu and yes it is cash, but I’m finding that across most of Austria.

Kann man mal machen, Anhänger von Sri Chinmoy

Linsensuppe war nichts besonderes aber lecker, das Sandwich konnte da schon mehr, angewärmt und lecker.
Chai Latte ist auch zu empfehlen.
Insgesamt ist die Auswahl (Mittagessen) nicht so groß abseits vom Tagesessen

Das Cafe wird offensichtlich von Anhänger*innen Sri Chinmoys betrieben was auch überall im Ambiente offensichtlich ist, muss jeder wissen ob er das unterstützen möchte...ich würde es nicht mehr wollen...

Cons: Nur Barzahlung!!

Katastrophaler Porridge, leckerer Kuchen

Der Porridge war wassrig und geschmackslos, getoppt mit einer glibberigen Schicht Chiagel. Das Ambiente hat etwas sektenartiges mit Engelkarten und Statuen vom Gründer. Der Rohkostkuchen war allerdings lecker.

Pros: Leckere Rohkostkuchen, Gute Auswahl

Cons: Aufpreis für Hafermilch, Geschmack, Sektenartig angehaucht

Gâteaux

J'y suis allé quelques fois seulement pour les gâteaux.. d'habitude, je n'aime pas les raw, mais leur coco chocolat est une tuerie.

Lovely brunch

Ate a large brunch here and it was fantastic. Would come back again. Prices are fair for what you get, the quality is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is very inviting!

Tasty!

Loved our lunch here. Great coffee, quick service and friendly staff. I had a tofu focaccia and salad, and my partner had eggs on toast (gluten free options for bread too). We both tried a cake each (lots of gf, vegan and sugar free options). Food was filling and delicious. I was really keen for some of the vegan porridge on the menu that I had looked up but it only runs until 11am, would go back just to try this!

Pros: Lots of options! Salad, rolls, soups, dessert etc, Good coffee, Friendly staff

Cons: Only had 1 type of plant milk (oat), Cash only

Decent venue for lunch

Got there around 3pm and all their mains were sold out. Got the lentil soup, curry dish and kale potato soup.

The kale soup was delicious! Curry dish and lentil soup was quite nice too. The add-on salad to the curry costed about 4 euros and it was a small and disappointing bowl of plain greens that didn't taste great. I don't recommend to get their side salad.

Also note that they only accept cash.

Good for breakfast

I like to come here for breakfast they have a nice selection of breakfast platters with toast, vegan ham, fruit, yogurt. The coffee is also very nice. I would say its best for breakfast or brunch as the dinner options are a bit more limited.

Great for lunch

Great place for lunch, they have enough vegan options. I ordered a ciabatta seitan sandwich but had some soup with it since I already read about the small portion of it. The sandwich was small but very tasty! The soup was very nice as well. While I had lentil soup my gf had a lentil dish, which surprisingly was exactly the same but it was served with some rice. We drank some delicious local Austrian coke = pedacola! We loved it so much we went out to buy this syrup in a supermarket to bring back home. For dessert we had the best vegan cake, plenty of options inside!
They only take cash, but when I tried to withdraw money at the ATM it said I would have to pay €5 in fees. I told them this and they let us pay with bank transfer! Great staff!

Pros: Kind staff, Delicious pies and cakes, Austrian pedacola

Cons: Small ‘ciabatta’ sandwich, Lentil soup and lentil dish are the same, Only cash, but ATM nearby

Alles schmeckt echt super lecker. Die veganen Kuchen sind hammer. Auch das Frühstück ist gut, leider etwas wenig. Die Portionen sind klein.

Nice if money isn't an issue

The food we had here was nice. We had 2 of the many vegan breakfast options. But it was all so expensive. They wanted €8 for an iced coffee! Everything we had was very nice. The porridge stood out as amazing.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Food was great, Nice location

Cons: Expensive

Good food, small portions

Nice place with good vegan options. I liked the chai tea a lot. Vegan dishes were mostly veggie based and lacked protein. Took some vegan pie for the road. Staff is very friendly. Lots of references to a guru and spiritual quotes - its a lot but also ok when you are not spiritual yourself.

Updated from previous review on 2022-07-30

Pros: Vegan options, Pies!, Walking distance from the train station (12 mins?)

Cons: Not very filling, Cash only (summer 2022)

Tasty just not very much food

We had a curry and the eponymous sandwich. Both were good but not completely filling. There is also a weird vibe on account of the statue of the guru who founded or inspired the restaurant in the corner.

(Not only) for spiritual people

Great breakfast options for a fair price, free Wi-Fi and plug-sockets, meditative music, friendly and inspiring atmosphere. The service is good and fast. Includes a tiny shopping corner where you can buy etheric oils, spiritual books etc. What a pleasure!
