Cozy sustainable and tasty

We were so happy they offer such taszy vegan baked goods. The cinnamon rolls are served warm and taste really great! The potato pocket also was very nice! We also had almond milk cappucinos and a coconut lemonade and everything was lovely. We also visited their farm and they care a lot about sustainable farming and supporting local communities.
Highly recommend both the cafe and the
tour.

Plant based coffee drinks and food

Several vegan pastries and empanadas or similar. Relaxing atmosphere with first floor where it’s easy to work on the computer, with many plugs etc. good coffee

Amazing baked goods

The perfect spot to grab a smoothie and pastry before a hiking adventure. Got to eat my cinnamon roll in the cloud forest and enjoyed the potato pastry for lunch.

Cinnamon roll

The cinnamon roll from here was amazing. I really didn’t like the potato pastry, but I gave it to a street dog who seemed to enjoy it.

So great!!

Yesterday we went to their shop bear Stella's, today we went to the one in the center of town. Great vegan pastry options and free coffee samples. Highly recommend. We got the vegan cinnamon roll (again) and the vegan strawberry chocolate cake. Both amazing!

Great pastries, decent selection

They have a great selection of sweet and savory vegan pastries, however they are often sold out of one or two. Good coffee as well. I recommend the potato empanada and the banana bread in particular.

Super Kaffee, Kuchen und Snacks

Die Zimtschnecken sind sehr mächtig, aber sehr gut! Ich hatte auch ein Stück Bananenkuchen und ein herzhaftes Teilchen mit Gemüse, beides ebenfalls lecker.

Good coffe and pastries

Not many vegan options early in the morning however the pastry was really delicious. Plus they serve a good coffee. Vegan options clearly marked. We also went for the tour on their Coffee farm which was great experience! They have a lovely merch as well.

Great vegan options

We viated here a few times during our stay in Santa Elena. Good coffee & they offer oat, coconut or almond milk. We tried a few of their vegan cakes too and the banana bread was a fav! Upstairs is lovely to sit and look out whilst enjoying a coffee! Would recommend.

Pros: Alternative milk options, Cake!, Location is central

Amazing coffee and pastries

They have almond, oat and coconut milk, and well labeled vegan cakes and pastries.
We tried the banana bread, the passion fruit cake and the amaizing cinnamon roll.
Everything was perfect!
I think this was the best coffee of my life.

Pros: Lots of vegan option, Delicious pastries

Best café

Delicious cinnamon roll but the latte with coconut milk was the best! The atmosphere is great and cozy and the girl that makes the coffee is lovely and fast.
GET THE PASSION FRUIT BREAD! so delicious and moist.

A bit disappointing

The coffee wasn't that good. Cinnamon roll was a bit sweet. In the mocachino and hot chocolate they didn't put chocolate inside (it is just cacao and syrup), so a bit disappointing.

Updated from previous review on 2022-10-03

Pros: They did pretty shapes on the coffee 😄

Yess Passion fruit cake

I did not try the coffee but the passion fruit cake (among several clearly marked vegan options) really hit the spot.
