Friendly staff and fab food - Edit
There is a English translated section of the menu with clearly marked vegan options. The staff were lovely and very accommodating as I switched fillings of my wrap and customised my dish. The vegan cake selection was also extensive and even if you’re too full for one after your meal, you can take it away to have later!
Read morePros: accommodating staff, great ambiance , lovely food

Good staff and ambience, Tasty food - Edit
I visited and had curry with rice which was good. Very welcoming staff. However, they serve eggs as well, which wasn't the case at other Sri Chinmoy inspired locations.

Delicious food - Edit
A vegetarian cafe with a number of vegan options. The curry of the day, and the lentil dish were both really delicious, with reasonable prices and good portion sizes. Service was fast and multilingual (German and English). Would definitely recommend.

Great place for breakfast or brunch - Edit
Terrific for either breakfast or brunch in Salzburg. Great for vegans as it offers a great a variety of meals. Ambience was splendid as well. Very calm and had a great, positive energy to it. And yes! The food was yummy...though the servings felt a tad small. Still, two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Lovely lunch spot - Edit
Just a short walk from the main part of town through the park. Really cute cafe with outdoor seating for a nice day. Delicious chai latte! We had the vegan breakfast plate and the curry special which was beetroot. The breakfast plate was a little bland and quite small but still tasty and the curry was delicious. We also had chocolate muffins with ice cream and vegan whipped cream which were so good! Definitely would return and recommend.
Read morePros: vegan ice cream!

Visited twice - Edit
A great place to spend a rainy afternoon. We enjoyed the raw cheesecake and the great range of hot drinks. We also enjoyed the daily curry and dal, both of which are vegan. Friendly, fast wifi and lots of vegan choice.

Lovely for breakfast - Edit
We went there for breakfast on a Sunday morning pretty early, it was already quite busy as it is clearly rather popular, we decided for two vegan options and they were both extremely tasty. The place itself has got a very good vibe, some (Buddhist?) music plays in the background and even the waiters are softly spoken. We liked it very much and would definitely recommend it.
Read morePros: Tasty food, Good vibe

lovely, cosy place - Edit
really nice place in the heart of Salzburg where I met up with two of my lady-friends for coffee and cake. We've had several drinks (hot chocolate, different kinds of juices and coffee - all of them were delicious) and food. My friend had a vegetarian quiche, which looked delicious, I had a the green raw cashew cake, which tasted amazing!
Read moreservice was nice and supportive, even though the girl told us she's just started working there. it took a while til we got our orders and could re-order though (the cake I ordered at the counter seemed totally forgotten).
prices are ok, I always expect vegan cakes to be more expensive than others but I'm very willing to pay that little bit more if I feel it was worth it afterwards :)
we've stayed for a few hours, which seemed to be no problem at all (unlike at other places in Salzburg) and I'm definitely coming back!
Pros: taste, variety, atmosphere
Cons: price (but compared, it's ok), attentiveness of staff

nice mix of menu - Edit
I can sympathise with tha last reviewer, sometimes it happens by accident that the restaurant forgets to make a vegan dish. Still gotta love a rotating menu for lunch. I'm happy to eat here.
Read morePros: rotating menu, tries to be vegan
Cons: hours, sushi is weird on the menu

Disappointing - Edit
Disappointed with this cafe, the dish of the day wasn't vegan, food was rather bland and some of the staff were surly. They got part of our order wrong and almost served a vegetarian dish rather than the vegan one that had been requested.
Read morePros: inexpensive
Cons: surly staff, not many vegan options

Cozy, colorful, nice staff - Edit
One of the very few places in Salzburg where tha air doesn't smell like smoke and where you can eat organic and vegetarian /vegan at reasonable prices.
Read moreYou can sit outside in the sun, from spring til autumn.
You'll find the best cakes in town! (also vegan and sugarfree)
The staff is very nice, sometimes a bit slow (particularly at rush hours).
Update: We are quite often there, and I noticed that -unfortunately!- the staff is too often quite slow.. BUT: they have some more vegan dishes and (raw) cakes now :)

I had the Heart of Joy Salad which was the perfect dinner after a day of walking in the hot sun. Fresh, real vegan food! There are a few other vegan things on the menu, but there are a lot with dairy.

Great food, drinks, service and atmosphere. - Edit
Came here with two omnivores and one vegan and the food was loved by all. I got a curry, chai latte and an apple cake and all were perfect. The service was attentive and friendly and the vibe was welcoming. The assortment of books and teas were great too. If I didn't live on the other side of the world, I would come here all the time! Smiles all round.

lovely atmosphere and terrific food - Edit
I was thrilled to find a veggie restaurant in Salzburg after trying to find something vegan in Vienna whilst traveling with a group. The food at Heart of Joy was fresh and delicious. I had the curry soup, a "ham" sandwich, and chocolate cake, all vegan. Everything was wonderful, the coffee was heavenly, the service friendly.
Read morePros: lots of vegan choices, dessert!, great espresso
Cons: the ham sandwich was only ok, needed more "ham"

Nice food and atmosphere. Ate here for lunch with the family while on vacation and it was quite busy so hard to get wifi password. I did feel the menu/vegan options was a bit limited. They also sell vegan/veg products.

Spiritual bistro - Edit
Heart of Joy is a bistro/café that offers for example soup, bagles and cakes. The atmosphere is very "spiritual", with kind of buddhist/new age paintings and trinkets and so on, but I found it not too obtrusive but in fact very pleasant. The interior is modern and colourful and the staff were very friendly and attentive.
Read moreVegan dishes are marked on the menu which is very convenient! I had a bagel with smoked tofu and salad and a lentil soup. The soup was very, very delicious, the bagel was not so good because it was too dry.
Pros: Friendly atmosphere, excellent service, Vegan dishes clearly labelled, Delicious soup
Cons: A bit far from the touristic centre

Almost there! - Edit
We were on our honeymoon and found this place through a British couple in another restaurant in Paris. They said go here and eat the porridge for breakfast, so we did. First off, it was awesome! The best part was that it came with tea, a fresh juiced apple, carrot, ginger drink, and then a big bowl of porridge with fresh fruit.
Read moreThe place does have lots of pictures of Sri Chinmoy. This is where my opinion changed a bit. The restaurant is not a vegan restaurant and the smell of eggs was actually disgusting. Then the chairs appear to be leather, which I am very against as a vegan. Third, the video playing of Sri Chinmoy has him with Mickel Gorbichov and his wife who is wearing a fur coat.
Why I mention all that is that if true progress will happen, we have to be 'Taliban' about veganism! We should never show fur, even in a video clip of a peace guru. Second, get rid of the eggs and cheese! Over 280 million male chicks die a year because of the egg industry. That may make for a 'happy cow' but not a 'happy male chicken.'
People were very polite and nice and the food was great but I hate having to ask 'Is that vegan?' when everything in there SHOULD be vegan.
Pros: Excellent food, Nice staff, clean interior
Cons: Serves stinky eggs, Possible leather chairs, Positively assosiates the wearing of fur
