Lots of vegan options!

Multiple clearly labeled vegan options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oat milk for coffee. Huge portions. Plus they have shelves full of books, they told me they do an intercambio so you can bring a similar book (same language, same cover type) and exchange it for one of theirs! Super cool for nomads! They also have a bunch of products from Trader Joe's for sale as well as 3 vegan postres (cookie and 2 pies). Friendly staff and knowledgable about vegan options, food is all locally sourced including coffee.

Good food

Vegan pancakes with fruit were fine, made without sugar upon request. We visited within the timeframe of a power shortage so maybe next time will be more pleasurefull

Pros: Kind staff, Good light

Great option for vegans in Cuenca

I had a lovely vegan breakfast here. They have many options. The price was great and the portion was very large. I paid $5.50 for potato hash, a veg scramble, juice, and a fruit salad.

Pros: Many vegan options, Great atmosphere , Good prices

Decent breakfast

We tried the vegan pancakes and vegan rancheros. Both were alright, but I was not overly impressed. They weren't bad, so still recommended as a vegan breakfast if you're in the area, but I'm sure one can find better elsewhere.

Edit: we also tried their vegan apple pie and the vegan blackberry pie. Both were quite good!

Nice coffee

This Café offers a big variety of coffee specialities with an optional choice of soy or almond milk. The coffee was very tasty, also the chocolate chip cookie. Seating options are ok.
Staff is very friendly and helpful, the taste of the coffee is awesome.

5 STAR - The Santa Monica Vegan burrito is amazing, their espresso is delicious.

I have eaten a few of their vegan options and I have never been disappointed. This is a hidden gem.

Muy simpáticos

Hay opciones veganas y libres de gluten. El menú indica las opciones claramente. El joven fue muy simpático y me enseñó el menú cuando solo fui por postre.

Great, friendly service

Came here to hang out and study. Had drinks and snacks. All staff are super friendly and spoke good English to counteract my poor Spanish.
They were easily able to explain what was or what could be made vegan.
Hoping to come back for a main meal soon as the menu looks amazing!
(Wish I could give 5*)

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly, knowledgeable staff

Would definitely recommend

If you like Mexican style dishes and vegan sweet pies than this is the place for you. The place was very cute and cosy, staff were wonderful and spoke English and the food was awesome and so cheap! The meals we had came with a free juice, would recommend you try the guava sounding fruit (can't remember the name).

Coffee and cake!

Almond and soya milk available. Coffee was very good! The day I went they also had banana choc peanut brownie, which was rich and indulgent :)
Menu looked pretty nice - we didn't eat any savoury, but saw some customers with food that looked good and big portions. Several veggie options, and probably vegan too (sandwiches, burritos, salads)
Nice venue, with some outdoor seating too. Friendly staff

Pros: Good coffee, with choice of veg milk, Cake!!, Reasonable price
