Vegane Pancakes waren unnormal lecker!!!

Einer der besten pancakes, hatte sie mit Erdnussbutter, Banane, Erdbeere und Kokossahne. Es war eine riesen Portion. Dazu einen gemixten iced coffee mit Hafermilch. Außerdem haben sie coole Klamotten und ein paar andere kleine Sachen zu verkaufen.

Kept coming back

This is a very popular spot with vegan options.

Would definitely recommend the falafel wrap! The toast with add-ons was also tasty. Would not have the burger again and I really did not like the vegan panncakes.

During one visit they accidentally served the wrong dish, and offered a complimentary dessert because my order was a few minutes late. Unfortunately the dessert was not vegan so I had to send it back.

Would give five stars if the menu had more vegan options, especially as I don't understand why some of the dishes couldn't be made vegan.

All in all, a nice spot with quick service and friendly staff!

Pros: Friendly staff, Quick service, Vegan options

Cons: Wished for more vegan options

Full happy belly

First of all, the hours are incorrect. I tried to figure out what their current hours are but was unsuccessful… But it is 4:15 PM on a Sunday and I’m eating amongst several others.

Second of all, I wish I discovered this place sooner. So many options, all delicious, and as the name suggests, it’s a little quiet lane just off the main road. Lots of tourist so make sure that’s the vibe you’re going for, but it also looks like there’s co-working space here and lots of ads for surfing, tours, fishing, etc. Not in a pushy way, just in an signage. Would’ve been a great place to discover upon arrival to Mirissa - not my last day.

I had the poke bowl with mushrooms, a matcha latte with coconut milk and the brownie. 🤤

Pros: Atmosphere, Food - vegetarian & vegan, Service

Cons: Lack of signage from main road, Prices (although pretty on par for Mirissa)

Great spot

Quite fancy and western vibe, wait times were wild but due to short staff that day. Not so many vegan savoury breakfasts, BUT i have to give it 4 stars for their vegan pancakes which blew my mind!
Also, they gave me complimentary cake for the wait😇

Sooooo good

We tried 2 burgers - magic mushroom would 100% recommend super crispy, and the flower power (banana blossom) the flavour was good but the patty is mushy consistency if this isn’t your thing. The potatoes that come with both are SO GOOD.

Everything that was coming out of the kitchen looked amazing, highly recommend.

cozy, hipster breakfast place

the place is really nice, food is delicious, interior is pretty and staff is very friendly. it is a really hipster place which also explains the prices, so beware of that. they also sell clothes and some cosmetics and jewelry.

Favorite Cafe! ✨

Our favorite Breaky spot in Mirissa. Amazing menu, delicious food especially the smoothie bowls. Can also recommend the vegan pancakes and the vegan chocolate cake. Very good matcha latte with soy milk. Friendly staff, cute location, nice shop in the cafe, fair price. Would highly recommend it.

Nice cafe with many vegan options

The cafe offers many vegan options, such as bread either avocado & grilled tomatoes. Things labelled with a * can me made vegan upon request, such as the topping of garlic mushrooms on the bread.
I had vegan banana pancakes & I could choose between different sauces, such as peanut butter, chocolate sauces or caramel sauce. The pancakes were topped with 2 fruits of choice (mango, strawberries, passion fruit and banana) and whipped coconut cream. It was very tasty

Pros: Many vegan food options

Cons: Soy milk wasn’t available today

Modern place!

It is cute, modern place - boho style.

The food was ok - took chia pudding and juice.
The juice was more thick, so it was something between juice and smoothy which was nice😊

There is 10% service charge and if you want to pay by card, they charge 3%.

good vegan options

I had the nacho bowl and it was good balanced and tasty.
Accompanied by a decent iced americano for a very fair price.
Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Pros: Choice of a few vegan options , taste of the coffee, friendly waitress

Cons: automatic service charge (10%)

Mostly Vegan

Next door to our home stay, we opted to have our meals here. The poke bowls, burgers, smoothie bowls, toast with toppings and more. Well executed and best we had in Mirissa. Good coffee and shakes.
Good vibes ( upstairs too). Good service. Closes at 4:00pm.

Aesthetic vegetarian cafe

Little aesthetic veggie cafe with vegan options and a cute shop! I loved their smoothie bowls, vegan pancakes and chia pudding but they were lacking in savoury vegan options and when I went they were out of plant based milk.

Pros: Some vegan options , Cute shop , Aesthetic

Cons: Not many savoury vegan options

Awesome place!

Amazing smoothie bowls, beautiful atmosphere, and chill vibes! So many options and everything is delicious and has a beautiful appearance. There are frequent power cuts in Sri Lanka so don’t be surprised if it randomly goes out for a couple of hours and they can’t make certain things. Definitely check it out!

by far my favorite place in Mirissa!

shady lane is my go to place to eat & work! I love the toasties with avocado and mushrooms. the coffee is super good too.
the girls (and guys) working there are all so sweet and friendly!
it’s also more affordable than other vegan/vegetarian friendly places in the area. plus the food is always fresh & beautifully prepared.

Pros: super friendly & sweet people working there , super good toasties & coffee, pretty affordable

Great brekkie/brunch spot

Came here for a couple of times whilst staying in Mirissa, the place serves western food so it's a good spot if you need a lil break from local food. Their smashed avo on toast and smoothie bowls are so goooood! As well as coffee.

Yes prices have gone up but considering the huge economic crisis the country has the prices are still very affordable. Smashed avo toast w/ 2 toppings cost 700 rupees and a smoothie bowl was 900. During the scheduled country-wide power cuts (which the place cannot control, obviously) they can only serve iced coffees.

The staff is very kind and lovely.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Food is more expensive now

The food is really tasty but we were reading the menu from happy cow! And we got the bill and we’re shocked cause every food got more expensive! A lot more! Also the staff let me stand in line one day earlier and told me after 30 minutes that they can’t prepare food because of the power cut! Instead of telling me directly while standing in line! Today she told me that they do not have coffee but after K got my other drink I saw them bringing Iced coffee to other people! So, Food is good but everything else I don’t know. Also always ask for the vegan version when ordering bowls etc.

Кафе в балийском стиле

Мы взяли тост с веган топпингами и буррито боул. Тост классный, боул мог бы быть лучше, если добавить соусы. Кофе на кокосовом молоке отличный.
На втором этаже есть мини-магазин с одеждой и zero waste товарами. В следующий раз попробую смузи боул.
