Vegan and organic heaven - Edit
I love UpCafé. Only a 15 min from the Diocletian Palace, the place has a very nice atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, and the food is just amazing - you never know what to choose from the menu, because everything looks incredible. I had the tofu and vegetable lasagna and the cherry-mint kombucha today - perfect to keep me going, because even if the lasagna is under the “snacks” menu, it’s a big portion. And you’ll find fairer prices than in the Old Town. Highly recommend it, and looking forward to visiting you again soon!

A true gem in Split! - Edit
I ordered the oyster mushroom meal and it was very tasty. It costs 12€, so not that much comparing to other options in Split. I would definitely come back here!

Best Food in Split! A Must Visit! - Edit
Absolutely delicious hearty Vegan food. We came here on our last night in Split and was our fav meal of the holiday. I wish we had come here 1st as think we would have come everyday.
Read moreI had the Protein meal and it was so good, I wish I knew how to cook sauces like this.
It was great value for the huge portions, we were so stuffed we had to take desert away.
It's about 10 mins walk away from the centre and easy to find.

Best vegan food in Croatia so far! - Edit
A great find in Split! We had the vegan lasagne, falafel wrap, two vegan desserts and iced coffees.
Read moreThe lasagne was amazing, crispy edge and a good portion for a reasonable price! The wrap was good, the falafel fluffy and sauce delicious.
Cakes!!! The sweet potato cake was insane! What a treat! The only downside was not being given the recipe 😂
Iced coffee with soya milk - not an easy find in Croatia.
Pros: Lovely staff - helpful and spoke great English , Amazing food, Good prices

Very tasty meals - Edit
Constantly high quality of food, very tasty and always fresh. Absolutely a place to go whilst visiting Split. But I have a small remark about the service. It seems there is not enough people and waiting time is long during the lunch time. After 20 min I had to go to the counter to be able to order my dine in lunch.

They deserve 5 stars purely for giving tap water with the meal! - Edit
In all seriousness, food was great, tasty and not greasy. The deli is busy with locals, which is a great sign. Prices are reasonable and you don’t get ripped off like in other veggie places in Split. Loved the vegan baiadera as dessert.

Lots of protein and cream cake! - Edit

Don't miss trying this place! - Edit
Wholesome, chill vibe. Delicious food at reasonable prices. Arrive after 11am if you want an unbelievable choice of fantastic food, like protein rich meals. This is our third visit to Split and I was glad we made the journey back for breakfast. If you don't want cake when you go, get one take away so you don't miss out. Their sweet options are super cool. Highly recommend!

So many options 😍 - Edit
We went there for dinner and weren't disappointed! The staff was friendly and everything was labeled as vegetarian, vegan or gluten free. We drank an ice coffee with oat milk and it was very good. Then we also ate the daily soup, fried oyster mushrooms with vegetable-risotto, a vegan pancake and a vegan strudel. Everything tasted very good and if I would go there again there would be so many more meals that I would like to try out. The wraps, burritos and pancakes there are all between 15 kn (2 €) and 35 kn (4-5 €) which is a reasonable price. The main dishes do all cost 80 kn (10 €) which in my opinion is a bit expensive but the good taste of everything clearly makes up for it!

Good for coffee - Edit
Main menu is in Croatian so as a foreign tourist I had an issue choosing what to have for breakfast. I got coffee and a cake which was nothing special but good value for money that I paid for.

Amazing vegan food in Split - Edit
So many nice dishes, couldn‘t even decide which one to choose. Almost every dish can be veganized. Very healthy and delicious. But would prefer it if there would be more vegan milk alternatives than just soy. Staff was great!

Didn't meet my expectations - Edit
Should be more homemade, for me that quality of food can be bought anywhere. There were many options but I felt there was no effort put in each plate. It was kind of mass production
Read morePros: Many different both vegetarian and vegan options
Cons: Not really tasty, Not amazing quality

Upstairs at Upcafe - Edit
We visited on a Tuesday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. We initially thought this was a counter service sort of place, but they took our order at the table. We sat at a table in the upstairs area as all the outdoor and main floor tables were taken. It was cool to see so many locals of all ages eating at this veg place. We ordered the Oyster Mushroom Meal and the Falafel Meal (ask for the "soy cream" instead of sour cream). Both were very generous portions with a lot of variety on the plate. When we were finished, we just had to pay at the register located at the front. This was the most affordable meal we had in Split, probably because it's located outside the main tourist zone.

Health and fresh food in the city - Edit
Delicious and healthy options of food here! I had the tofu and veggie skewers dish which had lots of small and delicious sides with it. Lots of organic foods and the meal was the most nutritious I had in our time here! The popular dishes sell out, so be sure to go earlier in the day if you want something in particular. My husband had the fresh squeezed juice, which was really well balanced. He had the stuffed pepper dish but we both agreed my dish was the tastier one! I got the strudel for dessert but I have a big sweet tooth and found it a bit bland and lacking. My husband got the crepe with chocolate cream inside, which was too sweet for him (we should have swapped!) However the crepe was a bit bland but a nice sweet treat if you're in the mood for it. A relaxed, deli style cafe, with indoor seating and some outdoor seating on the main road.

THE BEST VEGAN FOOD IN SPLIT - Edit
Being vegan in Split is not easy, but after having tried the majority of the options here this was BY FAR the best meal I’ve had here. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating even tho I got there with not long to go before closing time, but that wasn’t even the best thing about the place. The portion sizes were HUGE, like a proper, delicious heaped plate of stuff, clearly all homemade with such care, the flavours were a DELIGHT for the palate (for like 80 kunas!!!!!!) . I know I am overusing caps and exclamation marks but trust me, this is where I wish I had gone for every meal here, can’t rave about it enough!!!
