Long wait, poor service - Edit
The food was okay, nothing groundbreaking. Half of our order was missing, half got mixed up. Even though there was a lot of staff, we were pretty much ignored both times we wanted to order.

Very good vegan options - Edit
Update from my review below: the food was so good we went back the next day but unfortunately I was disappointed this time. It may have been my fault since I did not ask for no extra oil but I found the dish too oily this time. It is olive oil and many people might not mind it but I do. We will still go back but I did want to adjust my glowing review a tad. Let's see what the third time has for us!!
Read moreThe tofu scramble, or rather it's called vegan egg scramble, was one of the best meals I've had here in Amsterdam. Period . we got it with the optional portobello bacon, and it was large and filling and delicious.
The choice is so often bagels and beans with a bagel and coffee that to have a full breakfast was a real treat. They also have fresh juices and plant-based milk although they do up charge for plant-based milk in your latte which is always annoying.

Delicious Brunch time - Edit
Delicious and varied breakfast/brunch food.
Read moreEverything vegan is clearly labelled.
We had the scrambled tofu with an awesome "portobello bacon".
It's a bit expensive but the dishes are worth it, delicious and large portions.
Pros: Awesome portobello bacon

Be careful - Edit
They only have a few vegan options. We always ask if a drink or dish is vegan. The nice waitress understood as she was a vegan herself. But even then you have to be cautious if you’re a vegan. One of the dishes came with feta cheese, which you can order as an extra. We had to send it back. Very disappointing, we didn’t have enough time to wait for a replacement. They didn’t charge the dish, but didn’t offer a free drink or some other nice gesture.

Few vegan options - Edit
I had the Japanese bowl, pink cake ('roze koek') and green juice and they were quite tasty. The bowl included wholegrain soba noodles and great veggies. The roze koek was made with chickpea flour and tasted like a roze koek should taste. The green juice contained spinach, sellery, apple and lemon and had a nice sweet taste.
Read moreHowever, they only have a few vegan options and don’t update them that often. Therefore, it gets boring to come here.

Cosy café, limited choices - Edit
Lavinia is a very cute place, but unfortunately they don‘t have many vegan options. I had the vegan egg salad sandwich, which was 14 € and not very filling. The taste was alright, but nothing really special. Also would have had cakes!

Yummy - Edit
Tasty food what else should you say as a vegan you will be served some very tasty options even of they are not a lot. the ones they have are great. Pricewise i guess as a tourist it is hard to say since prices in berlin are cheaper. So inrather would rate the taste per money and that was fantastic ;)
Read morePros: very tasty vegan egg salad toast, froendly stuff, lovely interior
Cons: only 4 options vegan fxcl sweets, pricey at least for a german GDR dude

Lekkere Vegan eiersalade - Edit
Lavinia ligt in een zijstraat van de nieuwe Spiegelstraat. De Kerkstraat is een rustige straat in een drukke buurt.
Read moreBij Lavinia moet je geduld hebben, maar dan heb je ook wat. De Vegan eiersalade is heerlijk.
De Vegan cappuccino met amandelmelk is ook iets om voor terug te komen!

Place to bring your non vegan friends - Edit
I love this place even though i do not like their ethics of serving animal flesh it is one of the best places for a vegan and non vegans to eat together if you are okay with that as i know some of you are not.
Read moreThe vegan cakes are some of the best around and unlike most..the pictures you see online actually do represent what you get in real life lol
The atmosphere aside the animal flesh consumption is really nice and location is excellent.
Will be back soon
Pros: Lovely cakes, Nice Vegan selection, Staff and location
Cons: They sell dead animal products, You may be sitting next to someone eating meat

Nice cafe - Edit
Went here for breakfast with some work colleagues as it has both vegan and pescetarian options (they serve smoked salmon but I'm not sure if they serve anything else meaty) - I had golden milk made with rice milk which had whole bits of ginger in and the quinoa porridge which was generously portioned and very nice; the omnis I was with had scrambled eggs with avocado and smoked salmon. The cafe itself is quite large and airy so a nice place to sit for a while. Slightly surly service, but maybe it was just one of those mornings.

Nice little place - Edit
Had the pizzette with couscous and hummus. It was delicious! But it was expensive as well for the portion size (€13,-). Also ordered the vegan brownie. I only saw afterwards that you can order chocolate drizzle or coconut cream with it. That would have been better, because although the taste was on point, the brownie was very dry and even hard to eat. Would come back for the pizzette though. They also have vegan cheesecake, maybe that is a better option.

great food, small portions - Edit
We visited Lavinia for lunch one day, and over all it was a wonderful experience. The coffee was fantastic, and the cafe itself is a perfect spot to read a book.
Read moreThe portions though were smaller than normal. It doesn't take much food to fill me up but it wasn't quite enough.
