Fab Vegan Food Spot - Must Visit! - Edit
Great to see a fully plant-based / vegan restaurant in Manuel Antonio!
Read moreWe went here for breakfast twice while stopping in Manuel Antonio and we were really impressed both times. We shared the Banana Pancakes and the Local Breakfast and both times they were delicious! We also had 2 hot drinks, the Sweet Nectar Cacao & the Coffee Cacao which were both really tasty made from Costa Rican Cacao.
They also sell Tamales which we ordered to take away for a snack later that day which were great, along with some homemade sweets treats that included a vegan twix bar, vegan Ferrero Rocher, Cacao Banana Bread & Choco Chip Cookies! All of which were amazing, especially the Ferrero Rocher!
We loved the food so much, that we thought we'd venture back there for an evening meal at 7pm on Friday evening however, although their website said they close at 9pm and Happy Cow said they close at 8pm, when we arrived at 7pm they were closed!!! We were really disappointed as we wanted to try their food on their main menu. We'll never know why they were closed early, we don't see it as something to mark down a vegan restaurant, however, if visiting the restaurant it's something to be aware of to avoid disappointment!
Overall, amazing vegan food, and you could tell everything was fresh and prepared with love. If we visit Manuel Antonio again we'll definitely be heading back there to try some more of their food!
Pros: Fresh, tasty vegan food only, Banana Pancakes, Homemade Vegan Sweet Treats
Cons: Restaurant opening hours unclear, Shut at 7pm on a Friday night

Best smoothie bowls ever! - Edit
We ate here three times in one day! Breakfast was incredible, smoothie bowl for lunch was the best we ever had and the Verona bowl for dinner was filling and healthy. We got a juice to go and we are definitely coming back for all three meals tomorrow!

No está mal - Edit
Los platos son grandes. El ocean bowl está muy bueno, pero el pad thai no nos gustó y las tartas menos. En el local hay mucho ruido de coches. Aún así, se agradece mucho un sitio 100% vegano en la zona, y habría que probar más platos.

Amazing pancakes - Edit
Prices are mentioned in US dollar and it's cheaper to pay in USD.
Read moreWe went there for breakfast twice. We've tried the smoothie bowl (cacao 11 USD) as well as the pancakes (9 USD). Both tasted great. The smoothie was thick and tasty, not too icy. You can change the toppings of the smoothie bowl if you want to at no additional charge!
Pros: Toppings for smoothie bowl can be changed, Delicious pancakes

Amazing, fantastic, and delicious - Edit
Wow. So wonderful. We just finished a week in Costa Rica, and four days in quepos. I think we ate here four times. Incredible. Great variety, well made, unique and delicious dishes that lean into health. They have no hesitation making small adjustments to suit any needs you have. I loved the air fry fries. lol. But the gallon pinto was wonderful. The pad Thai was a huge surprise but was amazing and delicious. The juices were great, too. So glad we found them.

The best vegan place in all of Costa Rica - Edit
I cannot say enough nice things. You will be surprised, speechless, blindsided by the quality of this food. It’s likely some of the most inventive food in Quepos. VERY laid back, but flawless options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stay at any hotel nearby and walk to this and eat here everyday.
Read morePros: Inventive, delicious food , Huge and filling , Casual and relaxed
Cons: Expensive , Hours can be flexible

Delicious! - Edit
Had ‘the local’ breakfast bowl and did not disappoint. Vegan queso added some good flavour and nice to have something to add to the rice and beans which us vegans probably consume lots of while visiting CR. Good vibes and great service. Nice to have some fresh fruit and enjoyed some good coffee as well.

Something different and delicious! - Edit
The menu is quite different from the other vegan food on offer in the area and everything we had was great. Would recommend the smoothies, the Varuna savoury bowl and the peanut zoodles. They also have a small dessert counter and sell vegan products. We’ve already decided to return to try the breakfast menu.
