Great vibe

We found this place on our last day otherwise we would have definitely been back.
Great coffee and half the ice creams are vegan. We tried the chai and the poppy seed, both very refreshing.
They also had some vegan cake but we didn’t try that.

Sweet goodness

I had the vegan affogato! It was delicious omg the creamy icecream wit the cafe was insane. Minca is expensive so you expect to pay a bit much but the quality is amazing. All local produce i wish it was 100% vegan haha

Pros: Local produce, Nice workers, Sweeeeetness

Tonka beans 🫘🍨😍

Tonka beans are illegal in the USA and maybe other countries (like poppy seeds in Singapore), so it’s really cool to get to cultivate a relationship with this plant and try them here. Criminalizing plants is such an ‘interesting’ thing. Anyways, we were told these Tonka beans come from the Amazonas and are kind of like vanilla. It has notes of vanilla and almond and make a great ice cream flavor base for an affogato (coffee and ice cream).

About half of Waira’s ice creams are vegan! Most are honestly too sweet for my taste, but great flavor options and the drinks can also be made vegan. Pricy, but a cute, hippie-esque space. Love that there’s a lavender ice cream option. They were out of the chuma and poppy seed that day though.

Pros: Many flavors!, Possibly a new ingredient discovery for many, Metal straws

Cons: Pricy

Well I just learned something new! I didn't know that about tonka beans. Hope to try them in Colombia when I get there (hopefully next year).

I love learning about these different plants and ingredients. It’s my favorite thing about Colombia. I hope you make it over too! 😊✈️🇨🇴

Amazing inventive options

Stopped for a coffee and ice cream and was thoroughly impressed with the inventive vegan ideas.
Who would’ve thought of matcha affogato?!
Nice staff and cafe is very relaxing.
Not the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had but decent attempt.

Pros: A lovely vibe , So many vegan options , Good price

Cons: Ice cream could’ve tasted better

Delicious and creamy!

Perfect snack and lovely café. The vegan icecream is based on coconut mylk and they have 3-4 flavors plus 1-2 sorbet flavors. Poppyseed was our favorite! The cone is vegan and really crispy and yummy. The coffee was also good.

Location has changed, it is now further down the road. Google has the correct location.

Pros: Vegan iceCREAM, Good coffee, Lovely staff

Cons: Just one vegan cake

Vegan ice cream! 🤩

They have four yummy vegan ice cream options in this café, even clearly marked! I had chai and coconut, coconut had a bit of a too chewy consistency, but the taste was good. They also offer almond milk for their beverages. When I came they had no other vegan desserts though. The design and vibe of the café is beautiful though!

Pros: labelled vegan ice cream , cute decor and vibe, almond milk

Cons: no vegan baked goods

Amazing coffee and cake

The carrot cake and banana cake were both vegan and delicious (especially the carrot cake).

The coffee was really good, especially the cappuccino with fresh coconut milk!

I came here every day at least once a day whilst in Minca 😂

Nice service too

Two tasty vegan ice cream options

Matcha and a fruity more sorbet option. Great location as it's the first shop as you come down the road from the waterfall and in need of refreshment

Pros: Vegan ice cream

Real vegan ice cream

Was such a pleasant surprise to find vegan ice cream, not just fruit sorbet. The ice cream was coconut based, I really liked the poppy seed flavor. It is expensive by Colombian standards, but it was worth it for a nice treat after a long hike.
