😠 Do not come here. How this place has so many good reviews is beyond me. Had an ice tea to start and just tasted like pure stevia completely gross. Told staff who then asked to switch it for a new one and chose the same drink as my girlfriend (horchata with coconut milk). My horchata was flavorless...

    Do not come here. How this place has so many good reviews is beyond me. Had an ice tea to start and just tasted like pure stevia completely gross. Told staff who then asked to switch it for a new one and chose the same drink as my girlfriend (horchata with coconut milk). My horchata was flavorless water, nothing compares to the other one on the table. Told the staff and asked them to taste it to see if we were lying and they refused. Then had 2 crunch bowls. All of the lettuce which is pictured is raw, yellow, and rotting black. Completely disgusting. When we got the bill they had the ice tea and 2 horchatas included with the 2 crunch bowls. The staff started screaming at us when we didn't want to pay for the first awful drink, let alone the horchata that was pure water and the rotten vegetables they gave us. Actually started screaming at us. Extremely unprofessional staff, rotten food, and overcharged for everything. Been vegan for 8 years and have never been treated with so much disrespect and awful food from a vegan establishment. Embarrassing.

    Lovely place for non-vegan eaters like myself. I enjoyed their food tremendously. Ordered their mushroom bowl and Berry Mango drink. Both were delicious! The mushroom bowl is something I can eat over and over again. Yes, it's that good!

    I was quite pleased with the selection here. The tacos had great flavor, texture and were not overwhelming. The molette was delicious and the perfect portion. We got some fresh juice from across the street at the market which I would suggest. We were able to find free street parking.

    The cutest, softest dog greeted me like a long lost friend as soon as I walked in - I knew I was in the best place in Merida! EVERYTHING is vegan 😍 Staff are really friendly and helpful with suggestions. Really nice decor, I felt very welcome and relaxed. I got a local kombucha which is up there with one of the best kombuchas I've ever had. I also got the protein cookie dough smoothie bowl and have not stopped dreaming of it since!

    Besides the best vegan sweets in the city, Jajajana also had the only healthy vegan options out of all the vegan cafes in the city. It's the only place I can get a great bowl full of protein. Great smoothies and protein drinks and the best Molletes I've ever had.

    This place is awesome. If you have a sweet tooth you are in luck, their Avo toast was incredible and the overall vibe of the staff was amazing. Definitely recommend this place.

    Wow wow wow!! Best smoothie bowl of my life and I’ve had a fair few. The nutty cookie dough bowl was insane. So good we went back the next day for another one. I would also recommend the avocado toast which was delicious. Super lovely staff too.

    I’m allergic to cow’s milk and gluten so this place was a wonderful find. I ordered the chai oat waffles with vegan whipped cream and strawberries as well as a chai latte with oat milk. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and they had the cutest pup greeting at the door. The prices weren’t bad either. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the options.

    Absolutely wonderful cafe, English and Spanish menus and baristas available. Very friendly and welcoming with delicious frappes, iced and hot coffees, and smoothies. Highly recommend. Great for relaxing inside and there is a very nearby park you could sit with to go orders.

    Perfect experience through and through. Amazing food at reasonable prices, and their drinks are stellar. Bilingual service was great (my Spanish is definitely not there yet) and everyone was very friendly. Don't miss this.

    5 fleas just for the yummiest pastries, don’t pretend to have and actual service interaction cuz there’s none of it, but besides that the place’s okay and they tried to make the experience better but didn’t feel quite genuine🤡, but really that’s aside, I mean it’s the best town bakery by far 🙌🍪🥮🍰🍓

    We were only in Merida for two days and we came here both mornings we were so impressed. The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious for vegans and non vegans alike. Would highly recommend the Cafecito smoothie and the Mollete.

    Best breakfast I’ve had in Mexico! Great service, the three girls working all helped us find more places to eat for dinner

    Got in In Monday and the plan was to try a cafe a day. Well, plans change! Love this little cafe that caters to vegans, but don’t let that fool you - the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. For those of you that like strong coffee this is your place, but if you don’t just ask them to tweak - will be worth it to your pállate… :)) I missed having Mexican pastries - try one - goes great with their coffee. I also had the Mollete Sourdough.

    A refreshing spot ✨ Their smoothies and bowls are amazing. They have the best banana bread (there’s a gluten free no sugar option)! Highly recommend 💛

    We came here even twice! First time we got a great matcha latte with coconut milk and were admiring the cookies, cup cakes, brownies, banana bread and other delicious sweets! We do love peanut butter and oreos and they had it in their little treats. We came back the other day for the peanut butter nice cream bowl and it was finger lickin good. The chai spice is home made and the owner is a friendly young women with a really helpful and great team! They are also serving vegan/veggie interpretation of Mexican food e.g. vegan chorizo - looked great as well!

    A small cozy Café where you can start your day. Offering lots of vegan sweets. Plant based milk option also available. We tried the vegan bownies, which were delicious. Various coffee options in hot and iced. Friendly and quick service. We really enjoyed our time there!

    We took away 2 bagels, a sandwich and 2 cookies. It was a good choice as we had long drive ahead. While we were waiting for the food we could spend some time with Furby🐕 kind service, I recommend the place.

    We had a great lunch here, including mushroom tacos and a crunch bowl. The bowl was huge and could easily have been shared by two people. Service was great and Wifi available too.

    Lovely place and lovely people who were working there. You can place your order at the bar and they will bring it to you. It's a small, but lovely café with some great breakfast and brunch options and great prices.
