Sehr lecker

Sehr lecker gewesen und auch eine gute Auswahl an veganen Speisen. Vielleicht ein schnuff zu teuer, aber ansonsten alles top. Mich persönlich spricht das Ambiente nicht so an, da mir da etwas die Gemütlichkeit gefehlt hat. Aber man kann sowohl innen als auch draußen sitzen.

Pros: Großes veganes Angebot , Viele Sitzmöglichkeiten (innen wie außen), Sehr lecker

Cons: Etwas teurer

Clean, bright and welcoming cafe.

The warm ginger tonic was just what I needed for a sore throat.

Leckere Kuchen und anderes

Es gibt sehr viele vegane Optionen. Die Kuchen sind super lecker. Capuccino mit Hafermilch gibt es für einen kleinen Aufschlag. Das Lokal ist sehr spirituell eingerichtet, es wirkt fast schon sektenartig. Aber hat mich beim essen nicht weiter gestört.

Why is no one talking about how this is a cult

Strange place with some weird vibes worshipping some guru but the best porridge I’ve ever had so make of that what you will

Tasty meal

We had chilli and guacamole which was very tasty. Then we had some very good vegan cakes. The service was quick and helpful. I would return if I was in Salzburg again.

Pros: Tasty, healthy main course, Good cakes, Good herbal tea selection

Many options

We had breakfast here and it was good, in a cosy and friendly atmosphere. I didn't expect much from the porridge, but it was just the right sweetness. A great start of the day!

Pros: Many options

Ok

I didn't get the friendly staff or atmosphere that has been reviewed. There are lots of vegan options, I had the tofu ciabatta that was fine. I was unfortunately expecting a lot more from the reviews so this maybe led to the disappointment.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Only ok for the price

...joy

Good food, lots of vegan options and fresh juices served by overly friendly staff in a calm peaceful atmosphere.
What might need to be noted is that they do use "vegan substitutes" to create classical dishes e.g. "Salami"sandwich or for German breakfast with "cheese" and "sausage style ham/Wurstaufschnitt".

leckere Gerichte, große Portionen

Die Portionen sind relativ groß, geschmacklich war alles sehr lecker. Vor- und Hauptspeisen kamen alle gleichzeitig, weshalb es am Tisch etwas eng wurde. Das Personal ist aber sehr freundlich & zuvorkommend. Eine Vitrine mit diversen Kuchen lädt zum Dessert ein - der rote Cashew-Rohkostkuchen ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Perfect porridge 🖤

We ordered a breakfast combo including a fruit porridge & bread with jam and seitan ham.

The porridge was one of the best I have ever eaten. So soft and tasty.

Pros: Delicious food, Quick and friendly service, Atmosphere

Cons: Odd decor with a lot of pictures and quotes a gu

Fresh & delicious

The food was fresh and delicious. We loved the potato goulash (daily special) and vegetable quiche! The Heart of Joy sandwich was unimpressive and felt like something we could easily make at home with Tofurky ham slices. They have an English menu available and English speaking staff. Really kind and friendly waitress. They do accept credit cards now.

Yet another place run by a religious org

The food was ok (few vegan, but decent options for breakfast), and the place itself is actually pretty nice if you don't mind the statues, portraits etc of the leader (Sri Chinmoy) of this religious organisation running it. I must admit stuff like this irritates me.

The staff was very friendly and service was warm and kind. They certainly have created a peaceful atmosphere.

Most of the dishes they are able to adopt to vegan. They even found a way to make our children vegan French toast.

Didn’t like this spot

Went here for a good vegetarian breakfast but somehow the place felt weird and unhygienic. Fruit wasn’t fresh and the toast wasn’t enough so went to a bakery afterwards for a good breakfast ..

Pros: Vegan and vegetarian options

Cons: Not a cosy place, Doubt if the food is fresh here

De sandwiches die we voor lunch hadden, waren simpel maar heel lekker! De koffie was helaas erg lauw.

Great Food

We really enjoyed our meal here. We both had the lentil soup, I had The Heart of Joy sandwich and my partner had the tofu sandwich. Coffee was also great.

There is a lot more choice for vegetarians than there is vegans. Whilst we loved our food, we would probably not come back as I feel there were not enough options to bring me back.
