The best Vegan spot I've ever been in Central America - Edit
Cappuccinos with Reishi Mushroom are amazing! They have Kombucha, Nut Cheese, Kraut Crackers, Smoothie Bowls, Gluten free options which are hard to find in many of Vegan spots out there. I love Wachuma foods because of their commitment with microbiome and health💚

Delicious food with probiotics! - Edit
Everything here is vegan. We tried 2 types of quinoa bowls and both were delicious. The sauerkraut and tempeh are super tasty, and the bowls were incredibly filling (we are big eaters and at first thought we’d leave hungry but I couldn’t finish mine!). Bliss balls are good too, and they also have vegan cheesecake!
Read morePros: A lot of fermented foods and probiotics choices , Super friendly staff , Delicious and healthy meals :)

Good food served quickly - Edit
I had one of the bowls and two smoothies. The food was very delicious and abundant and served super fast. The smoothies were very tasty as well. The place is tiny and I don't even know whether there is an option to use a bathroom that is inside the hotel that can only be reached by crossing this bar/restaurant. Seats were not comfy but reasonable so you don't stay too long at that teeny place.

Excellent - Edit
As others have said, this seems to be the only vegan place in town. It’s a cozy little cafe with great vegan bowls, tostadas, smoothies, etc. The staff is very nice, and patient with my little bit of Spanish. If you are vegan, vegetarian or not, I highly recommend this place! It’s very healthy, very tasty and moderately priced.

Tasty and healthy - Edit
We ordered the blue smoothie bowl which was delish, the ‘earth’ tempeh bowl - also yummy. We also had a tahini cup which was amazing and the vegan cheesecake. Overall pretty tasty food but for the prices it was quite small servings especially compared to some of the other veggie places in nearby.

Thank you for helping us be better, we will work on our portions to make them fairer. Hope to see you back soon

Delicious healthy food! - Edit
This place is absolutely amazing. Although the servings don't look very large, the food is extremely rich and filling. They have desserts and such amazing combinations of healthy vegan foods! The tahini cups (dessert) might be the most amazing thing I've ever ate.

DELICIOUS healthy food with great prices. - Edit
I stayed in Antigua for 4 days and ate every single meal at Wachuma (breakfast, lunch, dinner). This is how much I loved it!
Read moreThe food is extremely tasty and also good for you (vegan, probiotic, etc). They have smoothies, bowls, toasts, salads, everything I could possibly want. My go-to meal is a bowl with Quinoa + Basmati Rice, Sweet Potato, Kale, Tempeh, Cashews, Tahini and Kraut.
The manager is extremely welcoming and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience.
If you're in Antigua and you like healthy food, GO TO WACHUMA.
Pros: DELICIOUS food, Incredibly Healthy, Great prices
Cons: None. Perfect.

Thank you Bruno, hope to see you again. Happy travels.

OK - nice food but small portions and I felt frustrated with the staff/manager - Edit
Only vegan show in town at this point (although I heard a new one may be opening connected to Wicho & Charlie's Hostel). The food is really very nice. But the portions are not very big.
Read moreOther than that I felt frustrated by one of the staff (who seemed to be the manager or at least dominant) - even though I was speaking Spanish every time his response was in English, and he kept mention other things I could order (don't you want this with it or that), and unnecessarily interrupted the conversation I was having with my friend a couple of times. If it wasn't for that I'd probably give four happy cows, and even tempted to give 2, but 3 seems fair as may have been a one off and could be improved.
Pros: Tasty fresh food, Vegan
Cons: Annoying staff
EduardoGarciatorresR
Christopher, thank you so much for your comments, we will make our best effort to increase the portions and be more respectful of privacy.

Vegan jewel of Antigua - Edit
Wachuma is Antigua’s only fully vegan restaurant and thankfully they nail it! The sister restaurant of Samsara, Wachuma is meters from the main square and is a small, casual, cosy spot with really high quality, fresh and healthy bowls/salads made with locally sourced vegetables (many, if not all, from their own garden) and home made ingredients. Focussing on pre and probiotic macro bowls with nutrient dense ingredients such as tempeh, sourkraut, seeds like hemp, sesame and pepitas, grains and nuts, and super fresh vegies, accompanied by tasty sauces/dressings. They also serve delicious cakes and treats, home made kombucha, beautiful teas and other hot and cold drinks. The service is excellent (Eduardo, or Mex as he is known, is an absolute legend, really friendly and knowledgeable) and the food is on your table really quickly. If I lived here I would eat here everyday, as I did while visiting. This is how everyone should be eating
Read morePros: Tasty and super healthy food, Excellent service, Good vibe
Cons: Space is small with limited seating
