Awesome location at the beach, food is ok - Edit
Alert! The famous smoothie Bowl is NOT vegan. The granola topping is made as a huge badge in the morning, marinated with bee's honey.
Read moreWe got assurkzed the day before it is vegan ( menu says only dairy free, so we asked again)
Ordered without granola, got 40₹ discount. Ok.
The masala chai vegan version was unenjoyable. Strong black tea with not s hint of spices. Disappointing!
Thali Plate was ok, but lacked so much taste,too.
You pay high for the beachfront view.
So most of the food is Ladi dadi.
The mushrooms coming with brunch were awesome garlicky and herby🤩 though

Not organic but some nice dishes - Edit
It's a beautiful environment at palolem main rd. opposite brown bread (also very healthy menue there). Staff if friendly and polite. Food arrangements are mostly very nice and insta-friendly. There used to be big crowds at main season. It was the first place you could find strictly vegetarian and vegan food in palolem (and agonda). To reduce plastic, you can take a free glas of filtered water.
Read moreBut I feel it's also little overrated:
-----------------------------------
- NONE of the food is ORGANIC. They showed me the tofu. It's just stated "natural" Noting about organic or GMO-free. So there is a big chance it's gmo. Also pesticides are widely used in India.
- PROCESSED WHEAT is used instead of full-grain i.e. in the burrito rolls.
- NO AVOCADO you order food that should contain avocado, like mexican food. But because it's to expensive, they'll just leave it out and dont even tell you. BUt you pay the full price.
- FAN can't be switched on/off seperately so there could be some table that desires opposite then what you'd like.
- PORTION SIZES got much smaler since they opened.
CURRENTLY CLOSED
In 2022 there is a Goan Restaurant at this location insted now, serving meat and fish. It's same owner so they might go back to vegan after the tourists will come back.
Pros: Reduce plastic by offering free drinking water, vegan + gluten-free choice, nice environment and staff
Cons: nothing is organic or gmo-free, pay for avocado but don't get it with the dish , processed wheat instead of full-grain wheat

I think I went there almost every day for either a fresh cold drink, a tasty smoothie bowl or a nice dinner. The Wifi connection is also working pretty good.

Good food, overpriced - Edit
We’ve been a couple of times and the food is good but a lot more expensive than other places around. Chill vibe though the service is a bit lacking. The sushi bowl salad was the best thing we have had, the burrito is good and we also had the vegan breakfast which was underwhelming for the price but tasty. The “raw vegan cheesecakes” all contain honey which is disappointing.
Read moreThe prices online also aren’t accurate - everything is about 50 rupees more expensive than listed online
Pros: Vegan options
Cons: Expensive, Service is lacking

Nice place, but too expensive. - Edit
Had breakfast here with my girlfriend and while the food was good, it wasn’t anything spectacular. The prices are almost double what you will find in other places around town, and the service is just meh.

Traumlokal für Veganer auf Goa - Edit
Ein Traumlokal für Veganer und Vegetarier die sich gesund ernähren wollen. Super Essen, super freundliche Bedienung, super Preise, super Atmosphäre. Besonders R.D. (Kellner) könnte uns mit sein Humor begeistern und lockerte die Atmosphäre. Die Wohnlandschaften sind auch ein super Platz auch für chillen. Es ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei.

I absolutely love this place. The waiters are so friendly. The setting is beautiful. The food is amazing. There is so much to choose from. I love their vegan cheesecakes and their smoothies.

Amazing! - Edit
Our absolute favourite place in South Goa for healthy feel good food and vibes. We ate here a lot during our stay and although we went to other veggie places, we always came back here! The staff were amazing and welcoming and the food was so good! Our highlights were the breakfast pink smoothie bowl, the burger, the chickpea and crispy tofu salad, chocolate ice cream and chocolate cake! So many options and so many good flavours. Our only teeny complaint was honey was used a lot in things that would otherwise be vegan! So the porridge in the morning you had to ask for no honey but then you couldn’t have the Bircher or the chia pudding as this was already made with honey. Likewise, the raw cakes although dairy free contained honey so not vegan. It would be awesome to see them swap honey and use an alternative sweetener so the food can be enjoyed by both veggies and vegans!
Read morePros: Amazing food, Fab staff, Good vibes
Cons: Honey used alot

Amazing amazing food! - Edit
After we spent the entire day hiking around the forests of Goa we were famished and wanted some good food. We traveled an extra hour to reach this place as it wasn't close to where we stayed. Worth the travel!
Read moreAmazing amazing food. The quesidillas were top notch, mezze platter was too good too. Hummus was out of the world. And the best one was the chocolate cake. And lovely service too. One complain though was the place could have been a little more tidy. Dirty seats as people come from the beach and relax here.
Pros: Lots of vegan stuff

Phenomenal! - Edit
The place is truly amazing in every way! The staff are super friendly but professional at the same time making sure each customer is looked after at all times. The music and the general ambience is great. And finally the FOOOD! Every dish on the menu is heavenly. The ingredients will please any taste palette and you’ll keep coming back for more. Which goes to show with the abundance of repeat customers you see every meal time.
