Just sad...

I don’t get why one of the best breakfast locations in Hamburg went from fully vegan to MEAT?! What is wrong? Never gonna eat here again!

Just saw this six years after I enjoyed eating here a few times while staying in Hamburg. F*ck the change to a murder kitchen.

As of 06/2019 not even vegan options anymore

Sadly, it’s old news they’re not vegan anymore, but as of June 19, 2019 (says so on the menu) there’s no vegan food options at all.
Also, had to wait forever to get our (modest) order and ended up paying more than expected because the menu price “was a typo”.
Finally, no more of those lovely cakes and sweets.
Hard pass.

Pros: cozy location

Cons: stopped serving vegan food, long waits, overpriced

F*cked up. So sad. I really enjoyed it when I was there in 2018. Only just seeing this now.

Not a vegan café any more!

We were lured to this place because of the good reviews, pictures and the fact that it was marked as entirely vegan on happycow. It came as quite a shock when we read meat and fish on the menu. At first we thought it is faux chicken and fish. Turned out they traded profit over compassion only a week ago (according to the waitress). They still have a vegan page on the menu that consists of about 4 dishes. Mainly soups and salads. We came there to taste the bowls shown on the pictures here. The soup tasted okay but nothing special. You can get that in any other place... I friendly asked the waitress out of curiosity why they turned to omnivore. Her reaction was pretty dismissive and she tried to argue that it makes sense to reach a bigger target group to include everyone. Decision was obviously made due to economical reasons. Sad!

Started strong, dropped enormously

First off: I really used to like this place, I have visited it multiple times in the last year or so. It was fully vegan, big breakfasts with stuff you couldn't get in other places: a faux egg salad, faux scrambled egg and home-made faux Mett (a German specialty of ground pork).

Today I visited it again and was completely disappointed. Coming in, I saw that suddenly they had lachs and chicken on the menu. They went not even vegetarian, but full omni.
Okay, fair enough, that is a business choice of theirs, but it lost the character of what made the place great: you didn't have to check the menu for the allergene list, didn't have to ask if X is vegan or can be prepared to be vegan. You could order anything off the menu and be sure it was vegan.

The quality and quantity unfortunately dropped. My breakfast came with a croissant. I love croissant for how they are: fluffy and airy. The one I got was at least a day old and crumbly. :(
If you want to see the quantity difference: check the pictures of the breakfast platters from last year and now.
Then: faux egg salad, Mett, scrambled eggs, humus, vetegable sticks, butter, cheese, hummus, vegan cheese and salami and 4 pieces of bread. Now: 2 pieces of bread (one of which was the stale croissant), no butter, no hummus, no sticks, just some tofu blocks and a few slices of vegan cheese and some vegan nutella. The price of course stayed the same...

I overheard the owner talk to another customer about the decision to go omni, arguing you need to get people where they are and lead them to vegan options. Sure, that is an option, but he also stated that he knows that a lot of vegans will now avoid this place.
If you, dear owner, read this: I will join them. Not even because you sell meat now, but because a place that was great before, now is overpriced and underquality. Goodbye Vaviou's, it was good while it lasted...

Cons: overpriced, stale croissants

Das ganze Angebot wirkt energetisierend

Top Bio vegan vegetarisches Bistro. Die smoothies wie auch die ganze Einrichtung wirken energetisierend und einladend. Die Qualität der verarbeitenden Lebensmittel ist wirklich unschlagbar und ein Grund immer wieder an diesen Ort zurückzukehren. Hier Geld auszugeben macht Spass und freut den Körper.

Fantastic

Went here for breakfast several times already and it was always delicious. Had 1x lunch (jackfruit bowl) and although I prefer their breakfasts, their bowls are very tasty and satisfying (and so colorful!).

Coffee and chai latte are good. They also make amazing smoothies and very interesting hot drinks.

Cakes and the pancake are yummy!

See pics to get a better idea.

Pros: Can‘t go wrong here, Dogs allowed, Very friendly stuff

So tasty!!

Just had a burger with the famous „Beyond meat“ patty!
It looked so tasty that I had to dig into it and took a picture inbetween.
It tasted fresh and the vegan sauces were so delicious 🤤!
For desert I had banana bread which was the best I‘ ve ever had!
Will come back!

Lecker Speisen in Bio Qualität

Habe dort ein Spinat-Linsen-Curry gegessen. Sehr schmackhaft zu einem fairen Preis. Nebenan gibt es ein Geschäft wo man Lebensmittel in Bio Qualität einkaufen kann.

Absoluter Geheimtipp!!

Ich habe gerade eine Polentaschnitte mit Grillgemüse, Salat und Avocado genossen! Im vabious sind alle Lebensmittel biologisch und vegan! Nebenan gibts auch noch einen Supermarkt der nicht vegan aber bio ist und das gesamte Gemüse ist Demeter Qualität!! Unglaublich tolles Preis Leistungs Verhältnis! Es wird auch Weizen-Grassaft angeboten und zum lesen liegen vegane Zeitschriften bereit! Es gibt jeden Tag einen wechselnden vegetarischen Mittagstisch zwischen 11 und 15 Uhr! Der Service ist überaus freundlich und fix! Alle Verpackungen sind biologisch abbaubar und es wird auch beim Recup Coffee Togo Becher mitgemacht! WiFi gratis ohne Registrierung!! Definitiv ein Geheimtipp und ich werde noch oft wieder herkommen!

Love it!

The place is really cute, staff very nice and friendly. The cafe is quite small, but they have lots of space outdoors (in summer). The food is delicious and mostly organic! I love their smoothies and the Falafel Bowl. Cakes and Bananabread are awesome, they also have glutenfree options. The coffee is extremly good!

Pros: completely vegan and mostly organic ingredients, excellent food, smoothies, coffee and cakes, cute place
