Great vegan and vegetarian café

This place has not only great juices, smoothie bowls and cake (best vegan chocolate cake ever!). But also it is the place to meet like-minded travelers to share all kind of news and info.

Great vegan desserts

I went there and there were 3 or 4 vegan desserts. I choose one and I was amazed: raw vegan chocolate cake around 3€ something.
The place is also nice and the ladies who work there are very sweet

Good vegan cake but a little expensive.

We stopped for tea here and we're made welcome. There was a good selection of vegan cakes and a number of vegan items on the menu including a Beyond Meat Burger. We only had coffee and cake which was nice but the bill was rather high - we live in Spain for part of the year and would not normally pay such a high price.

Disappointing

I was looking forward to eating here but it was a real let down. The waitress was brusque taking the order, the food took over half an hour to arrive and it was very bland. The prices are ok but to be honest, I wouldn’t go back.

Dry cake and decent coffee

I ordered their snickers cake and café con leche de avena (oat milk coffee). The cake slice was huge but very very dry. I took a look in the café a couple of days previously and saw a snickers cake, and I feel like the same cake might have been there the day I ordered it. It's more walnutty, didn't get any hint of peanut from it (as you'd expect from a snickers cake). In fact, it didn't have much of a taste at all apart from the icing. The coffee was okay but not great. It cost €7 for the cake and coffee which is super expensive for the area.

Pros: giant slice of cake

A good option, in the absence of others

Quite a few vegan options, but rather high prices, a little slow service and very small portions and with a small amount of ingredients. In the absence of other options, this is not bad.

Pros: Enough vegan options, delicious cakes

Cons: Expensive, scarce portions

Pros: Friendly, Good, decent food

Cons: Compared to price the food was a bit boring, Cigarette smoke from teracce comes in

Way to slow

They used 1 hour (!) to make us two vegan meals. They did make meals to someone else first, but they didn't even apoligize to us. The "Buddha bowl" should be called "salad" because it was cold, and there were almost no sauce. The wrap was warm, but it was not dinner worthy either. The vegan cakes looked old and dry but the "cake" in the glass with different layers tasted good. But I had to go to the disk because they didn't give me the spoon with cake right away, but continued making food for others. They said I should wait at a table. After around 5 minutes I walked to them and sent them a disapprovingly look. Then they gave me the cake with the spoon.

Pros: Good cake (the one in the glas)

Cons: Expensive , Cold dinner , Slow

Tasty food, bad service

We ate there twice because of the many vegan options they offer. Both times tue meals were very tasty and delicious. Unfortunately the service is pretty unattendive, slow and does not speak english at all. Also not the cheapest...

Pros: Many vegan options, Good food

Cons: Expensive, Bad service

Roots

Lots of vegan options, had a Mediterranean Buddha Bowl was really good and filling. Also bought some vegan cakes back with us - carrot and chocolate - were really nice. Very friendly staff. Spoke English. Menu is in many different languages inc. English. Read each option properly, e.g. many smoothies are vegan but some have honey in them. Says vegan in title (usually) for vegan dishes. Nice to have a restaurant with healthy delicious food. Was not expecting Tenerife to have this 😊😊😊

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Healthy food, Tasty food

Tasty vegan dishes

Really tasty and fresh! You have a lot options and they have vegan cheese (violife), so you can change every vegetarian meal into a vegan one. Also homemade cakes and desserts, which looked really good. Further you have the chance to buy some tea, magnesia or beauty products inside. All in all a beautiful place with really good food. I‘d give 5 Stars if I could!

Pros: All dishes can be made vegan, A big menu with cakes, bowls, sandwiches,..., Homemade Cakes & nice location

Ok food

Typical "healthy vegan" place where the taste unfortunately sometimes has to leave way for the healthy bits. Lots of vegan options and everything vegan is labeled on the menu. Has beyond meat. A bit slow service but nice staff

Great destination with lots of vegan options

Really wide menu - everything with a v (which is nearly half the menu) is vegan - well priced and perfect for a quick snack.

Okay, but could do better

They have a lot of vegan items on their menu, and they clearly name them, what is really nice.

But the food seems pricy, and for a "Protein Bowl" for 12,50 Euro I expect a portion which does not let me be still hungry afterwqlards. In top, the chairs outside are far from comfortable.

With a little bit of improvement this could be a really nice place!

Good choice

There is a good choice of vegan options, smoothies and teas. I wouldn't rate the service 5* but staff were still ok. Looks fresh and clean and good location and prices are ok too.

Vegan Options

For being a non-veg restaurant they have a good amount of vegan options all over the menu: wraps, bowls, tostas, sandwiches, burgers,...even desserts. Good central location easy to find, perfect for a healthy lunch or snack.

Cons: serves dead animals

Meh

No nos atendieron muy bien y eso que estaba vacío. La comida no era nada del otro mundo, además era la primera vez que íbamos y no nos ofrecieron probar nada, ni nos asesoraron. Yo me pedí un buddha bowl protéico. Me encontré un pelo en la quinoa, lo que me fastidió el resto de la comida. Me pareció caro para lo que es...No creo que volvamos a este sitio.

Pros: opciones veganas / vegetarianas

Cons: servicio, lugar , comida
