Incredible - Edit
The best spot for vegan lunch food in Split!
Read moreAlthough UpCafe isn’t a fully vegan cafe they have lots of options which are clearly labelled on the digital menu (in English for those who speak English)
I got the protein meal which had seitan, tofu and tempeh which all were delicious. It also came with salad, some sort of rice, a little curry thing and an amazing sauce. I loved all of it and the portions were huge!!
My partner got the tempeh oyster mushrooms which were made out of a tofu batter - stunning. This meal came with similar things but a different rice!
There were lots of cakes that looked yummy at the front and the staff were lovely too.
Pros: Amazing food, Huge portions, Clearly labelled

Pastries and cakes good, “burritos” bad - Edit
i would get the banana cake again and again and again, but would absolutely not get the seitan burrito again. it was more of a wrap than a burrito, and it was served cold. just not super pleasant to eat. come for the vegan sweets and maybe the plates? we didn’t try them though

A shining star in Split (NOT fully vegan) - Edit
Upcafe saved us haha. They have so many delicious options. Almost deli style- you can point at what you want in the glass case. Good coffee- super friendly. Great prices! LOTS of vegan options . Normally I would not give a vegetarian place 5 stars- but the price and atmosphere is really a breath of fresh air in tourist split.
Read morePros: Accepts credit cards , Great prices , Comfy even when crowded
Cons: NOT VEGAN

Up town cafe & a restaurant with busy vibe and awsome food - Edit
When in Split, we don't miss Up Caffe. Wholesome menus, daily soups and stews, burgers, sandwiches, smoothies, desserts, coffee.. This place has it all and everything is super delicious. We loveee their burritos! However, it's not a place where you come for a date night or a relaxing lunch- this place is super busy and its facing a very noisy street.😄

Nice vegan snacks - Edit
If you’re looking for a vegan sandwich on the go or even a burrito; this is the place. The Tofu Sandwich was food and the seitan burrito was also tasty. The service was awesome! #Veganuary

Local place - Edit
The protein meal was the only meal left when I arrived. They close at 8 so be on time.
Read moreThe meal was very good and big portion. tasty. Normal prices €12 compared to the city center.
Next day I went back and choose a croatian dish with seitan. It was supposed to be spicy but it wasn’t at all. The veggies were bland and some veggies were too hard to chew. The dish was also kinda cold. It came a minute after I ordered. So I wonder how fresh it is. I wanted to order a coffee after the dinner and it was not possible they cleaned it already. It was 19 o’clock. I guess this place is more for lunch cos it’s also empty while I was having dinner.
Most dishes are vegan what I saw but they charge for plant milk.

Tasty little cafe - Edit
I went near closing so only had a few options left. The protein plate was tasty and just what I wanted after a week if struggling to find decent vegan food in Croatia. The girl behind the counter was very friendly and attentive.

Fresh balanced and delicious - Edit
Great for a quick lunch or on the go, the cafe is full of great options with actual protein in meals (seitan, tofu, etc.). I had a wrap (seitan) , a vegan cake , and a chia pudding. Good portions, especially for the price and compared to the rest of Split centre. I came twice to the cafe since it was one of the better options in Split. The full dishes look great as well.

Delicious veggie options - Edit
The tempeh wraps were so tasty we had 3! They also had tempeh and tofu sandwiches, plant based milk, a vegan dessert and large healthy protein meals with falafel, quinoa and salad. Staff wete incredibly rude still worth visiting even though it's a bit out of the city centre.

We were here for breakfast, so we ordered a falafel burrito and a seitan one along with some sweet porridge dish. It was nice, strange to have falafel with ajvar, but thats Croatia.

Fresh, balanced ,and not the usual choices - Edit
This cafe is a wonderful find! The choices range from the usual (falafel) to the more interesting (fried oyster mushroom) entrees. The meals are well balanced with a high protein grain, a couple of salads, a main ingredient, and sauces on the side. All was fresh and delicious. The service for dinner was quick and courteous, with plenty of seating. Overall, a good value.

Vegan and organic heaven - Edit
I love UpCafé. Only a 15 min from the Diocletian Palace, the place has a very nice atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, and the food is just amazing - you never know what to choose from the menu, because everything looks incredible. I had the tofu and vegetable lasagna and the cherry-mint kombucha today - perfect to keep me going, because even if the lasagna is under the “snacks” menu, it’s a big portion. And you’ll find fairer prices than in the Old Town. Highly recommend it, and looking forward to visiting you again soon!
Read moreUpdate 22.05.2023: back in town, and of course, I had to visit UpCafé again. Had the tofu meal today. One of the best vegan options they have. Thank you! 🙏

A true gem in Split! - Edit
I ordered the oyster mushroom meal and it was very tasty. It costs 12€, so not that much comparing to other options in Split. I would definitely come back here!

Best Food in Split! A Must Visit! - Edit
Absolutely delicious hearty Vegan food. We came here on our last night in Split and was our fav meal of the holiday. I wish we had come here 1st as think we would have come everyday.
Read moreI had the Protein meal and it was so good, I wish I knew how to cook sauces like this.
It was great value for the huge portions, we were so stuffed we had to take desert away.
It's about 10 mins walk away from the centre and easy to find.

Best vegan food in Croatia so far! - Edit
A great find in Split! We had the vegan lasagne, falafel wrap, two vegan desserts and iced coffees.
Read moreThe lasagne was amazing, crispy edge and a good portion for a reasonable price! The wrap was good, the falafel fluffy and sauce delicious.
Cakes!!! The sweet potato cake was insane! What a treat! The only downside was not being given the recipe 😂
Iced coffee with soya milk - not an easy find in Croatia.
Pros: Lovely staff - helpful and spoke great English , Amazing food, Good prices

Very tasty meals - Edit
Constantly high quality of food, very tasty and always fresh. Absolutely a place to go whilst visiting Split. But I have a small remark about the service. It seems there is not enough people and waiting time is long during the lunch time. After 20 min I had to go to the counter to be able to order my dine in lunch.

They deserve 5 stars purely for giving tap water with the meal! - Edit
In all seriousness, food was great, tasty and not greasy. The deli is busy with locals, which is a great sign. Prices are reasonable and you don’t get ripped off like in other veggie places in Split. Loved the vegan baiadera as dessert.
