Love this bakery

I only tried their buns and cookies so far, but they were great and relatively affordable. The cookies I think are made from almond meal/flour which gives them the creamy, buttery flavour, but from a vegan source. There were other plant-based ingredients in the buns and cookies such as pumpkin seeds and flax seeds.

Great desserts

I noticed the place because of the many labeled vegan and gluten free cake and brownie options on display. Ended up getting breakfast (maybe not that many vegan options, but the tofu scramble was good) and one of the vegan (and GF) brownies - really, really good. I also got the vegan (and GF) carrot cake to take away - at first I found the texture odd (but am not used to GF), but then found it very tasty. Highly recommended for dessert, would like to go back for a main sometime. Owner was friendly, and very helpful with recommendations.

Pros: Desserts, labeling, gluten free cakes, Service, Good portion sizes

Cons: Bit pricey, but reasonable for non local food

Sadly disappointing

After reading some reviews I was very excited but the vegan brownie somehow tastes like the street. My friend described it like gasoline taste after trying.

Amazing food and service

Sooo many delicious options from their vegan menu. Plenty of gluten free options too.
The tofu scramble and chocolate truffle pastry are just perfection!
PS: There are Vegemite jars on the tables for the Aussies missing it😄

Whole vegan menu, lots of options

There is a separate vegan menu you can request, which has lots of options. Soy, almond and coconut milk is available for coffee. Lots of cakes are vegan too - we enjoyed the brownie! We got the tofu scramble and big vegan breakfast which was excellent. Really friendly staff/owner too. Def recommend for a coffee and cake, or otherwise for breakfast.

Oat milk!!! A gem

Amazing vegan options and a full separate vegan menu. They offer oat and almond milk, which you can also purchase by the liter. I’m so grateful to have a vegan hot chocolate made with creamy, foamy, oat milk in Nepal. My first here and last on my way to the airport. 🥹☕️

The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable. He comes in usually around 6am but the place opens at 7 AM. If you happen to arrive on a morning bus, you can still pop in around 6 or 6:30 if he’s in there. 🥰

Delicious cakes

We bought five cakes to take away. The vegan selection was amazing - there were more vegan bakes than non vegan which is rare to see. They were slightly on the pricier side but you can understand it for the quality - they were absolutely delicious! If I was here for longer I’d like to try some of their savoury food as well. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Pros: Lots of vegan cakes, Delicious food, Friendly staff

Buddha is a legend and yummy food

Was meant to write a review months ago - this was my go to spot when I was in nepal for 3 months, I couldn’t stop coming back. Buddha let me go behind the bar and make my own coffee to go with the best vegan cakes you’ll find! The chocolate and biscoff cakes are sooo good, very rich but you just can’t stop eating it! The staff are so nice and friendly and always smiling and making you want to come back. There’s a vegan burger that comes with a veggie patty and huge chunk of tofu which I had at least 5 times it’s to this day one of the best vegan burgers I ever had, and comes with really nice crispy roast potatoes. We also had veggie skewers (made from faux meat) and tofu sticks a few times. It’s an absolute dream for vegans especially if you’re feeling more western food rather than curry etc
Miss you Buddha!! Beth 💚

Pros: So many vegan options!, Friendliest best staff, Cosy warm atmosphere

Cons: None other than serving meat if you don’t like

Blink and you'll miss this little place tucked away off the main streets of Thamel. Cosy place with cool ambience. Ask for the separate vegan menu. Great cakes and selection of drinks with almond or coconut milk. The owner is super friendly and nice.

Pros: Amazing cakes, Full vegan menu

Cons: A little pricey but big portions

Five ⭐️ tofu scramble, has Vegemite!

Best tofu scramble I’ve had that I haven’t made myself. Super friendly staff who are very willing to cater to your preferences. One of my favourite places to eat In Kathmandu. Also has a really tasty burger and the vegan brownies are delicious.

Nice place for cafe food

Make sure to ask for the separate vegan menu. Large range of options, soy and almond milk available. Several vegan cakes in the window, all chocolate based. The scrambled tofu wrap and the mixed veg wrap were both great, as were the momos. The blueberry smoothie was far too sweet and artificial. Some vegan dry goods available for purchase as well.

Cute Cafe with vegan menu

Cute little Cafe with lovely staff. They have a separate vegan menu with plenty of options, including tofu based items and homemade arugula basil pesto. Happy to see a vegan Masada Chai as I'd been wanting to try it!

Pros: So many vegan options, both Nepali and not, Vegan masala chai!, Friendly staff

Disappointing

We ordered four different options from the vegan menu and they were all very bland. They didn't have soy or almond milk, so they made us coffee with what they called coconut milk but was clearly coconut cream, which is very heavy and doesn't suite coffee well.
