Egg benedict out of this world - Edit
I have never seen or ate such an impressive vegan egg. The coffee and the cheesecake was also fantastic.

If you want to be wowed, Asante's eggs Benedict is a must.
Read moreThe chef here is an alchemist, somehow managing to create an almost perfect replica of a poached egg with runny yolk using all natural, vegan ingredients. It was incredibly impressive and beautifully presented.
We had quite a few things on the menu. All delicious and made in house including all the bread and 'cheese'.
The cheesecake is also outstanding and the closest thing to a real baked cheesecake since becoming vegan.
Well worth venturing out for. The staff are also incredibly lovely and extremely humble. The chef here is so talented at both texture and flavour and really passionate about vegan food.
Pros: Very hospitable and knowledgeable staff, Food you won't find anywhere else

Best vegan breakfast I've ever had - Edit
I've had many vegan breakfast foods over the years I've been vegan and I've never had to stop and check that I wasn't accidentally given a real egg, until now.
Read moreThe Eggs Benedict was absolutely to die for. I'm only in Spain for a few days and I'll spend each morning here!
Staff are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is clean, calm and gentle. 100/10
EDIT: Day 2 was equally incredible and I found out that the owner makes every component in house! The cheese, ham, bread, sauces and egg are all their own recipe. Insane.

All of us had the vegan Egg Benedict Version and it’s crazy how realistic it was. For my taste, there could have been less salt.😄

If I could rate Asante more than 5 stars, I would! Everything about this cafe is incredible. The food is divine (seriously, the eggs Benedict is to die for—how does the owner do it???), the drinks are delicious, and the owner is so warm and friendly. I would return again and again!

Mejor incluso de lo esperado - Edit
Increíble. Llevo meses viéndolo en IG con ganas de ir. Hoy finalmente fui con unas amigas no-veganas a hacer un brunch y todas salimos encantadísimas. Los huevos son alucinantes, me ha hecho muy feliz poder volver a mojar pan en yema ❤️. La oferta dulce y salada también riquísima. Todo home made y con mucho amor. El personal un 10 también.

Thoroughly recommend - Edit
This food is made with love! The guy that runs this cafe is super friendly and passionate about his food. Could not rave enough about the vegan eggs Benedict. Still mouth agape about how he magical made a vegan egg. Toasties were tasty too and excellent coffees. Also enjoyed a matcha latte. Please do not not let the current road works put you off going. Cosy inside

I had the eggs Benedict and a coffee. Both were fantastic. I don’t know what dark magic they use for their “eggs” but they were scarily realistic! Coffee was gorgeous too.

Fantastic - Edit
I found this restaurant via Happy Cow – and I’m really happy I chose it. The Eggs Benedict are fantastic. Dare I say, they taste just like the original, probably better. I wish the friendly owner all the best for their restaurant.

Lunch delight in Poblé Sec - Edit
We ordered everything on the menu! All of it was great! 100% plant based. The “cheddar“ that they used tasted like real cheddar. Somehow they were able to create “eggs” Benedict that really seemed like eggs, including a plant-based yolk. They did a truly great job and the service was extraordinarily friendly!

Los huevos benedict, lo mejor - Edit
Cafetería de desayunos y brunch con carta sencilla con bikinis y dulces. El plato estrella son los huevos benedict, merece mucho la pena probarlo aunque sea caro. Los sándwiches y dulces están bien de precio y el café está muy bueno. El local es algo pequeño pero se está cómodo y el trato es bueno.

Sorprenent!! - Edit
Servei, senzillesa… i cuina!
Read moreUn brunch espectacular amb una carta perita, però més que suficient. Ous a banda (que són d’una altra galàxia, boníssims), la resta d’opcions també són molt delicioses. Dolç o salat, no falles. També tema batuts, cafès… i una estoneta de calma al poble sec.
Molt recomanable i per repetir.

I was amazed by the food! The Egg Benedict was so good i was not sure if it was vegan or not. I've never eaten something like that before in my 5 years of being vegan but it seems like everything can be made vegan and that proofs it. Love the place and highly recommend it!
