    Lovely, cozy and friendly vegan/vegetarian restaurant. The restaurant also offers chicken dishes to meat eaters. Fairly good portion compares to the price. Fast and friendly services.

    Such a cute little vegetarian place (well they serve chicken as well). The 30€ combo, especially, was an amazing deal and I was positively surprised by the size of the portions! Halloumi sticks were the best part as there was a lot of them and the tasted amazing. I would also recommend the avocado pasta. I was only disappointed that they were out of a few of our first choices (like tofu and parmesan potatoes) but we did go there 1,5h before closing on a Saturday so it is understandable. But our second choices tasted great as well. Will definitely go again.

    Mahtava paikka aamupalalle, mahtavia annoksia ja täyttäviä. Ei kannata ottaa puuroa ja scrambled eggsia samalla minkä virheen ite tein. Todella hyviä mutta liian täyttäviä 😁

    Excellent healthy dishes - many of them gluten-free! Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. I can highly recommend the yogurt with granola and berries as well as the pancakes with Nutella. Ok, this last one perhaps it not really that healthy, but at least gluten free :-). We will come back...

    We enjoyed this place! If you are into healthy food, this place has everything you need - from smoothie bowls to avocado toasts. We went there for a breakfast and it was delicious. This place is gluten-free friendly; actually I think almost everything was gluten-free. Prices are also totally reasonable.

    Tried the avocado pasta for the first time. It was a new experience and I liked it. If you're a fan of salty and spicy food, this dish might be too bland for you. Portion was plentiful. I added extra chicken to these dishes (extra 2€) which was nice and tender.

    Great place! Will definitely visit again when I am on the area. Vegan and non-vegan options available. Non-vegan meals can also be ordered as vegan if requested. Take-away possible. Please do look at the menu on the website in advance if you feel like it! :) Was quite busy during my visit (Monday, lunch hours), but me and my friend were able to get ourselves a table. The portioning of the glass noodle salad was a little too much for me personally, but the meal was super delicious, filling, and overall nicely presented. I also didn't have to wait too long after ordering. I love the amount of veggies you get.

    We came to this place for the first time to have dinner. The place is quite easy to find. They have a spacious room inside the building and a terrace on the square outside. Inside the interior is quite simple but cozy, outside - tables under umbrellas. The menu is not long but sufficient. We ordered three starters: halloumi sticks, potatoes with Parmesan sand beans, also a main dish - chicken bowl with black rice. We sat outside at the terrace. Overall, it was comfortable to sit, we only lacked salt and pepper on the tables. We waited for food for quite some time, at least 30 minutes. The food when arrived was tasty, we liked everything. We paid around 40 euro for the order. All in all this is a nice place mostly because of the cuisine: tasty and fresh food with a unique touch.

    Ei mikään ihmeellinen paikka ja sisustus vähän kolkko. Siisti. Tarjoilijat olivat ystävällisiä, mutta palvelu oli vähän sekavaa. Ensiksi olivat sekoittaneet tilaukseni ja sitten toivat pöytään ylimääräisen jälkiruuan ja sen jälkeen tulivat kyselemään, että onko meillä kaikki kun olivat sekoilleet. Plussana oli tuossa tuo ylimääräinen vahinko ja ilmainen jälkkäri. Itse söin Kale Bowl - Kale, halloumi, poached egg, almonds, yogurt sauce ateria oli ihan maukas ja ystäväni söi Chicken - Don’t Chicken Out (G, N*) Black rice, marinated chicken, broccoli, scallions, peanut butter sauce.

    Casual eats place. Little cheaper than the restaurants around the city. Easy on the wallet and yummy on the tummy! Halloumi was so damn good. Nice to pay at the register first and find a table. Feels good to be able to up and leave without having to wait for a check. Enjoy!

    So good we came and ate here twice! Once for lunch, once for dinner. Service was fast and friendly - you order at the counter and then wait at your table for food. The kale bowl with poached eggs and halloumi was amazing. There are coffee and wine deals with meals. The best thing we ate here was the blueberry crumble dessert - so delicious, it might even be the best thing we ate in Helsinki.

    Simple, healthy Vegan menu that is equally delicious. Must try- Buddha bowl, Black rice bowl and Kale bowl.

  • 5/5 Gary B. 8 months ago on Google
    Both the Buddha bowl 14.50€ [quinoa, sweet potato, cauliflower purée, beetroot hummus, red cabbage, carrot, soybean avocado, chili & coriander with "Nirvana" sauce (chili, lime, ginger)] and the melon salad (melon mix, vegan feta and puffed glass noodle 7€) we ate were delicious as well as being healthy. You order and pay at the counter. They bring the food to you. You can help yourself to free sparkling (or still) water. The clientele are young Finns, mostly female, slim and healthy looking.

    Perfect breakfast spot in Helsinki, but be aware of long waiting times on Sunday if you don’t come early since there is no possibility for reservations. But overall really good breakfast!

  • 4/5 Stella K. 10 months ago on Google
    Ruoka oli hyvää, suosittelen käymään. Tofu bowlia piti odottaa aika kauan mutta muuten oli hyvä. The food was good, I recommend going. We had to wait pretty long for the tofu bowl but it was good.

  • 5/5 Susie C. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely place with vegan options. I got the Buddha bowl with Tofu and it was really tasty. They had some vegan dessert options too.

  • 5/5 Ron C. 1 year ago on Google
    Not what I was expecting but great nonetheless. I thought this was a fine dining experience or at least a place with table service. I had to order and pay before they could bring my food to me. Don’t get me wrong: service was fantastic and friendly! The place had such a nice vibe and the food was outstanding! The house wine paired with my food beautifully and I am sorry to say that it is rather difficult to find a decent house wine nowadays Great place!!!

  • 5/5 Luciana C. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely place, great atmoshere and food. I had a kale salad, I really enjoyed it, the size was way too big for me. Its a great place for working too. Coffee was average from my perspective.

  • 4/5 Sam 1 year ago on Google
    Went for an easy and casual brunch last week on a Sunday and it was everything! From the yummy food to the free flow of coffee, it was nothing short of a good brunch place. We ordered the Buddha bowl and the avocado pasta— thoroughly enjoyed the different flavours and bites in the Buddha bowl! Avocado pasta was delicious, but it got a little surfeiting nearer to the end. We also got the blueberry crumble— tasted like a flapjack and I would recommend trying their other desserts instead.

    We had brunch here on our cruise trip to helsinki and I loved the place! The atmosphere was very cozy and the food was so delicious! I like my eggs in a certain way and the woman at the cashier was very nice and understanding. I got my eggs in the exact same way that I like! Thus I really enjoyed my food. Thank you very much nice lady at the register ❤️

  • 5/5 Yiran 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious scrambled eggs on toast. Friend also enjoyed the avocado and poached egg on toast. One downside is the breakfast menu is very limited for hot food.

  • 5/5 Ksenia B. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here twice to have late breakfast. The food was nice and the prices were relatively small for Finnish standards. The staff was kind. Very tasty scrambled eggs!

  • 5/5 Afet M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had porridge with berries and filter coffee on the side. It was really good. I felt so full couldn’t even finish it. Tasty and cheap. Definitely recommend this place. Best place for breakfast in Helsinki.

  • 5/5 sil_aros 2 years ago on Google
    Coffee is average… but the pancakes.. Lord have mercy !! The Vegan banana pancakes with maple syrup are soooo delicious! Returned there a few times for them 😋

  • 5/5 Gloria F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great brunch place, especially Sundays! Super nice employees, delicious food - careful: come hungry! 😋

  • 5/5 Dina N. 2 years ago on Google
    I have only visited the place once. I had a delicious, filling bowl of avocado pasta and a berry smoothie there. The portion size was on the bigger side and I had to ask for my partner's help to finish it. He also enjoyed it! We met up with friends there and had to move the tables and chairs a bit to make space for everyone and the staff was very understanding and friendly. I was very content with the entire experience.

  • 5/5 Aneta K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for a breakfast in the centre of Helsinki. It was completely full inside so I took the table outside. Ate scrumbled eggs with ham that normally comes with bread. I asked to keep it without so the waiter suggested to compensate it with avocado - it was very tasty and more than enough for breakfast!

  • 5/5 Felicitas V. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is great. Eventhough there are not to many options on the menu there is something for everybody. I had the noodle salad and would absolutely recommend it. Dessert looked great but I was to full to anything else. The atmosphere was also really. We were there on a Friday evening. There were some people but it was not too crowded. I will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Adrian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good Sunday brunch. Be prepared to queue and you might need to sit outside but well worth it. Really relaxed and friendly environment, food was all fantastic and cooked to order so super fresh.

😐 Not exactly gourmet lunch but the free salad was fine. Service compensated for quality. As can be seen in the picture, it's some sort of Dutch national meal probably. The food took as much preparation as this review.
