Good food! Kept coming back

Was here a few times during my trip to PR, best coffee I had while I was there, quite a number of options as well for food which was quite good.

Pros: Variety of options

Really delicious sandwiches

We split two sandwiches here and they were really delicious. Also has a great strawberry matcha. The place itself is also a nice environment.

What a special find! Everything is vegan and delicious. The staff are kind, the service is wonderful.

Jibaro bowl was comforting and delicious!

A highlight meal from our visit to Puerto Rico.

Went back a second time - even better than the first. Stuffed avocado, my favourite meal. The Cubano sandwich was great too!

I had a great experience!

I had the Wholesome Chimi Salad, the Tamarindo and Dates Juice and the Fresh Guacamole Toast (soooo yummy!!!!). The food was great, just the perfect amount of seasoning. The service couldn't be better!!! They do open on Saturdays 11am-3pm because we came on a Saturday. They transparently specified which food wasn't vegan, and I appreciated that they were ethical in their honesty about what they serve. It shows they love doing this! Definitely recommend it!

Incredible vegan eatery

Chill vibes and delicious vegan options! The Cuban sandwich was flavorful and delicious. The side salad comes with lentils and an amazing dressing! I tasted dishes from our crew, which were also yummy including the BBQ sandwich and the tofu tacos! And don’t miss the ginger lemonade! Highly recommend this place and hope to return soon!

Great veggie spot near Ocean Park

We ate here 2 different times on our vacation, and we were impressed both times. We tried the Aquacate Relleno, Jibaro Bowl, Cubano Sandwich, and the Cosmic Gyro Sandwich. All were very good, and we would happily have eaten there again if we had more time in the area. Our only miss was ordering a brownie one day, because it was a bit dry and not to our taste, but all of the entree options were excellent. My husband also enjoyed the local Karibe kombucha, and I had a fantastic strawberry matcha latte one of our meals.

Pros: Lots of great entree choices, Food was fresh and flavorful

The best food in San Juan

Highly highly recommend. Ate here two times in a row during my stay in San Juan. The food is so wholesome, healthy, and made with love but far from short on flavor! Ayurvedic healing meets high flavor deliciously and nourishment that feels like a warm hug when you eat it. Good sized portions. Most options are vegan. Must go here!

Pros: Healthy, Ayurvedic, Good portions

Delicious and healthy

I loved the different options, the taste and the amazingly friendly staff!
We've had the gyros and burrito, both were great portions and great combinated. The banana bread was delicious as well. The water refill helped to hydrate.
Can highly recommend that place!

Pros: Taste, Options , Staff

Best vegan food in San Juan

LOVED this place. Super fresh, healthy, almost macrobiotic type food. It's entirely vegan except the gyro and one other item that come with a yogurt sauce. We got the soup of the day (an incredible warm puréed soup made with pumpkin, plantain, and malanga), the tacos with walnut-based molido, the jibaro bowl, and the prisma salad. The "magic tofu" that comes as an option on the salad and bowl is fantastic. The housemade seitan is also outstanding. We loved the tacos too. Also appreciated a wide selection of kombucha flavors from Karibe kombucha. The only disappointing part is the limited hours. They close at 3 PM Monday to Friday and are closed completely on the weekends.

Pros: Incredible homemade food , Many healthy options

Cons: Limited hours , Slightly hard to find

Fresh healthy bowls

The restaurant is hidden at the end of a parking lot. There is a nice covered patio, you can eat outside, even if it’s raining. I had the jibaro bowl which was fresh and delicious with crispy smoked tofu. I also had the carrot cake which was very good.

Pros: Covered patio, Near ocean park beach

Diverse food experience and yes, tasty!

Excellent variety of food and great ambience. A little on the expensive side but delicious! Drinks were fresh and had character. Not your run of the mill “vegan” place. All of us enjoyed the food including kids.

Pros: Use of local ingredients , Delicious , Local and innovative drinks

Cons: Slightly on pricey side

Hidden gem

This place is so low key, you have to know that it exists or you'd never find it, and if you DID stumble upon it (it's entrance is at the back of a parking lot) nothing advertises that it's all vegan, but it is, and it was hopping with online orders, so I guess they're doing good without the advertising! The meal was delicious, the vegan brownie was nothing to write home about. Nice atmosphere and staff!

HIGHLY recommended!

Food was tasty and fresh and healthful. Standouts were the soup, tacos with molido (walnut/lentil/mushroom meat), beans, maduros, and salad. Super friendly people, comfortable atmosphere. Located behind the post office. Suggest checking FB for updated hours.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere

Had a great vegan lunch at this spot, which has a nice vibe both in terms of the setting inside and out, as well as the service. We shared the babaganoush w/ pita appetizer (which I think was a special of the day - very flavorful but a bit seedy), and shared the Vegan Tacos (the slaw adds a nice crunch and love a fresh corn tortilla) and Piccadillo Cubano (delish “veggie ground no meat” which is made from lentils, walnuts and local mushrooms; rice and beans were on point and plantains cooked to perfection). Finished off our meal with the vegan brownie, which was okay (a bit cakey and slightly dry) but would skip next time. All in all great food and a definite spot for vegans to visit when in San Juan!

Note: the restaurant is tucked a bit back from the road - look for the sign up high, surrounded by greenery. Limited parking so it’s easier if you’re walking there or getting dropped off.

Great Find in San Juan

We stopped in for a late lunch.
Vegetarian options on Puerto Rico are really hard to find. This sweet little vegan restaurant had great food, fair prices, friendly staff and a peaceful vibe.

You order at the counter and they bring your meal to your table. We each had the Jibaro bowl with seitan. They came with brown rice, beans, small salad with tasty dressing and some other vegetable sides. I had the guanabana lime juice. Very refreshing.

We grabbed a vegan brownie for later, which was melt in your mouth delicious. Also picked up some banana nut bread and Meyer lemon cake for our flight north the next day.

We definitely plan to return.
Note that the hours are 11 am to 3 pm.
It is a little tricky to find, located in the back of a parking lot.

Pros: All the food, Friendly service , Ambience

Jibaro bowl and matcha latte

I had the Jibaro bowl and a matcha latte. I wanted a little more flavor but over all good and filling. I’m about to go back and try the dessert before i leave Puerto Rico 🙂

Amazing New Breakfast Menu

We came here to try out their new breakfast menu. It is open from 8am to 5pm on Thursday and Fridays. We had some amazing fresh tasting tofu scramble and waffles. Prices are comparable to other restaurants near by.

Staff super friendly as always.

Pros: Lots of vegan options.

Flavors were strong but balanced. I had the seitan and tofu sandwich. It comes with a side dish.
