Nice dinner - Edit
They had several options on the menu which are clearly noted to be veganizable. I had the tofu bowl (tofu with rice and broccoli in a peanut sauce) And it was good

Lovely breakfast - Edit
The breakfast choice was brilliant. I had the porridge with berries and peanut butter. Different milks available for drinks. The food came quickly, it was all delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Healthy vegan breakfast options - Edit
The Green Hippo offers some vegan breakfast options. It just seemed a bit pricey contemplating the size of the dishes. We tried the smoothie bowls and avocado toast along with a few healthy shots. Everything was fresh, tasty, and nutritious.

Okay, but no green wonderland - Edit
I found the menu a bit confusing and it annoys me anyway when you can't just order something, but first have to specify that you want the vegan version.
Read moreSo the vegan "pancakes with Nutella" are without Nutella. But at least the spread wasn't simply left out, instead you get a different one with hazelnut.
The avocado toast tasted like yesterday's bread, but maybe that's the style. A steep price for the portion, though. The smoothie bowl is fine.
Something else went wrong with the order, which was probably lost in translation. It can happen.
The cool thing about Finland is that restaurants usually offer free water. This is also the case here.
The restaurant is divided into three large rooms, so there is plenty of space. The toilets are unisex.
Pros: lot of options, but most need to be "veganized"

Great food in warm atmosphere - Edit
We had one starter, the avocado pasta and wasabi kale black rice bowl, as well as the apple crumble.
Read moreThe foid was great, although the bowl was a bit of a small portion.
They habe free tap water (very normal here) and free sparkling water.
The atmosphere is very cozy and had some cool designs. The chairs are super wibbly, though and the bench is too "long" to rest your back. Not great for older or heavier people.
Pros: Nice atmosphere , Good food , Free sparkling water
Cons: Some portions too small, Wonky chairs

Meh - Edit
They were out of kale (and 75% of the menu seems to include kale), which was a letdown. The food we had was OK. It looked nice but was basic. I also asked to have the black rice replaced with quinoa and they didn’t follow through. This was not really a tasty meal (for both of us).

Good Options and Seating - Edit
Tried the tofu bowl off of their dinner menu. Really good, peanut sauce was yummy and not too sweet tofu was cooked really well. Lots of outdoor seating in a pretty square.

Great and cozy breakfast place - Edit
We had an avocado toast, vegan banana pancakes with chocolate spread, a green smoothie and a red smoothie for breakfast.
Read moreThe pancakes were very good. The avocado toast was good, but nothing special, though the bread was really nice.
The smoothies were also good.
The service was really fast.
The atmosphere in the cafe is really cozy (lots of pillows, natural light)

Ok - Edit
It was very busy!! The portions for the avocado toast looked very small for the money so we opted for the porridge. We weren’t aware that the porridge in Finland is very different! Made with rice maybe and a lot of salt - not to our taste unfortunately.
Read moreStaff seemed very rushed and stressed! Was not a relaxed experience.

Could be better - Edit
They told us that the food would take 10 mins to be ready, but it took over 20 minutes and they weren’t sorry for the delay. Tofu bowl tasted like peanuts and the broccoli was almost raw. Nothing special really. The outdoor eating space was cool and there were many vegan options on the menu.

Lovely terrace - Edit
Although enjoying the terrace is limited just to a couple of months due to Finnish weather, it worths the visit to this restaurant because the dishes (not all of them vegan but with plenty of options, properly marked in the menu) are delicious. Good dish size, nice service and welcoming place.

Fast service - Edit
While not all vegan, the majority of the menu was either plant-based or easily modified. I ordered the Buddha Bowl and it was excellent. The service was lightning-fast despite how busy it was at the time. Our food came out maybe 5 minutes after we'd sat down.
