Amazing weekend brunch

They do a vegan buffet brunch on the weekends. It may be of the best brunches I’ve had. Everything was so full of flavour, and the price is really fair (24,90€). It’s probably best to book a table in advance!

We had the fully vegan weekend brunch. It was 24,9 and included different salads, spreads, warm dishes, sweet cakes and fresh fruit plus a special coffee and a glass of alcohol free sparkling wine. Everything was tasty and the atmosphere was cozy.

Pros: Good value for money, Lots of variety and different dishes, Friendly staff

Great value lunch

Loads of vegan options during lunch buffet, only tzatziki was non-vegan when we visited. Chocolate cake for dessert, you can eat as much as you want! Half of the six cakes in cafe were vegan. Cafe is no longer tiny, there are around 30 chairs.

Great brunch

We went there for brunch. The food is Persian fusion style. The variety was vast enough and the dessert pistachio cake was delicious. Coffee and tea is included in the brunch, but you also get one specialty coffee in the beginning which is included in the price.

Never happened before

This happened to us last year but wanted to warn people here in HappyCow since this is the platform for us vegans. We got kicked outside from the restaurant because the next party came 45 minutes early. The waiter didn't even ask us would it be ok, he just came to table and told that since the people who had the next reservation for our table came earlier, this is going to happen,. In the middle when we were still eating. I asked that how long was the reservation, he said 90 minutes, so we were halfway there. This has never happened to me before in any other restaurant in any country. Hopefully I won’t bump into that rude staff ever again!

Extremely delicious

Amazing! I went to the vegan brunch on the weekend and everything was very delicious! You can see that the food is made with thorough care and love. The people working there are also very friendly. The only things is that the cafe is very small, so there might be not enough places sometimes.

Pros: All vegan , Friendly staff, Extremely delicious

Cons: Tiny space

Very delicious!

The vegan brunch was extremely good, I especially liked the spinach tart and roasted eggplant dip. 20€ included a champagne flute of iced saffron tea and a latte/cappuccino/coffee/tea of your choice. (Note one item was vegetarian, not vegan)

Little gem

We had the brunch with my husband for our anniversary. The place is nice, cozy and small. Lucky for us, it was not crowded. Interesting food, something little different. Very nice experience. The only "complaint" I would have is the "milk" option for the coffee - iKaffe or regular unsweetened soy milk would be better. And maybe a little bit darker roast.

Pros: Cozy, Very nice owner couple, Not the same food you get everywhere

Cons: Not completely vegan place
