Very good!

Pros:
Pretty much the only vegan place in Interlaken. Food was very good! Good vibes and will definitely return!

Staff is kind! Vegan muffins are great.


Cons:
Service is extraordinarily slow for super simple orders. Took me forty minutes to order avocado toast! Super understaffed so people are kind of dismissive of guests initially. I stood at the counter for 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. After the staff got to know me as a regular they were super nice and speed of service was fast!

Banana bread was kinda meh and too sweat, but the vegan muffins are really good!

Pros: Healthy, Vegan options

Cons: Service is extremely slow., Understaffed, Lunch menu only starts at 12

Best Vegan/Veggie Cafe in Interlaken!

A brilliant vegetarian and vegan cafe in the town centre. We visited numerous times during our week in Interlaken and enjoyed almost the whole menu! The breakfast sandwich and mango smoothie bowl were perfect to start the day, and then the vegan club sandwich was great for lunch!

Pros: Vegan Club Sandwich, Friendly staff, Location

Cons: Often full and nowhere to sit

Decent breakfast

Had their avocado toast. A bit odd to transfer half of the avocado/toppings to the bottom piece of bread. Taste was good.

Lovely Breakfast

Smashed avocado toast was lovely, and the vegan feta was beautiful.

First visit here, and would come back for sure. Would like to see more options on the breakfast menu for vegans though.

Nice coffee too.

The cafe has a nice atmosphere and the food is great. They have many vegan options. We had the Gyros wrap and the Warm Buddha Bowl with Beetroot Falafel. Both were delicious 😋

Super disappointing: Owner claims Honey as vegan

Owner claims that the fact that honey isn't vegan would be only my opinion.
His vegan labeled salad contained honey in the dressing. Sad for a cafe that uses the vegan label a lot for marketing and attracting people.

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Variety of food

Cons: Claims honey as vegan, Charges extra for plant based milk, Unfriendly owner

Lots of delicious vegan options

I got the vegan sandwich and it was delicious. My companion got the beetroot falafel salad and she said hers was also delicious. We shared the vegan cheesecake and it was amazing! Finally we also got vegan blueberry muffins to go and when we had them later they were also very good. Overall a very delicious and pleasant experience. The employees were all helpful and nice.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly and helpful employees , Nice atmosphere

Cons: Not a lot of seating

Charming cafe with delicious food

It was so nice to find this place after a long morning and to have such a surprisingly delicious lunch! My friend got a Buddha bowl with a very nice tzatziki-esque sauce and I got the club sandwich, which was much better than I was expecting! The olive bread was very good, the vegan bacon was some of the best I've ever had, and the homemade mayo made it all come together.

Fantastic

Vegan options marked. The focaccia as well as the VLT sandwich we ordered were simply fantastic. For dessert, we almost couldn't decide. We ate the excellent vegan cheesecake and took a delicious muffin for the road. If our stay had been longer, we would have tried the whole menu on daily visits.

Pros: Very nice and attentive staff , Cosy atmosphere with comfortable seating

Cute café

About half the dishes are vegan (clearly marked). They offer breakfast, lunch and everything in between.

Very nice interior and a cute terrace.

I would go there anytime again!

Favorite vegan options in Interlaken

Came here every morning of my trip to Interlaken and loved it every time! The vegan cheesecake is the best I’ve ever had, and I may need to book another trip just to have it again😄

Lovely food, cute interior

Lovely little cafe in Interlacken- a short walk from the west train station. Has some lovely options for vegans, I had the smoothie bowl which was very nice (the portion was slightly on the small side though!). The cafe itself has really cute interior and the staff are friendly.

Pros: Good food , Labelled options , Nice interior

Cons: Slightly small portion

Gem Discovery

Great outdoor seating, off the heavily trafficked pedestrian roads but still easily accessible to walkers. About half the menu is Vegan.

Awesome muffins (many vegan baked goods available), great VLT with super fresh veggies. The spread on the olive ciabatta was so good, I could have just eaten the bread and their spread all day long. Extensive list of beverages - NA included.

Interior was delightfully decorated with Edison bulbs and bikes, it really is a Velo Cafe.

Pros: Extensive Fresh Vegan Options, Terrific location & decor, Baked Goods!

Cons: Closes early, Sells out menu items quickly, Vegetarian, not Vegan

Solid selection of healthy vegan options

Nice cafe with a solid selection of vegan options like a Buddha bowl, smoothie bowl, avocado toast, smoothies, banana bread, etc
I tried their beet smoothie and vegan lox and both were ok. The smoothie did not have a good consistency. It was too chunky but not in a good way (felt like a cold pressed juice they dumped the pulp back into). Would not recommend. The lox was nice but nothing special. This place can be lifesaving as a solid vegan food option in the area at not unreasonable prices, but is nothing special.

Pros: Friendly staff , Healthy options , Moderate prices

Cons: Smoothie

Nice place!

Had a nice lunch and a blueberry muffin to go. Place looks great, cozy and modern. We thought it was expensive, but this is probably normal for Swiss standards. Chai tea could have been better, little taste to it.

Nice place with vegan cake

The café is one of the very few places, which offer vegan cake in the area. They have several vegan options on the menu. The Avocado Toast, the vegan cheesecake and the vegan banana bread were all tasty.
They charge an extra .70 for vegan milk alternatives, which I think they should change.
The coffee tasted a little burned but I am very specific about it.

Great cafe

Lovely cafe with nice decor and great music. Lots of vegan options. Ask for dressing on the side for salads and side salads. The bottom half of our salads were inedible as they were drowned in so much dressing!

Pros: Delicious food, very well presented, Great vibe , Great central location

Cons: Sheepskins on all the outside chairs!
