    Vegetarian and vegan restaurant with great concept (organic, local, fair and coffee from own farm). Friendly service, which is however very slow. We waited very long for our drinks and for the food. The food was very tasty, especially the pasta "Primavera." The atmosphere is very nice and cozy.

    This is a must place for people that are vegan. The restaurant has many options from breakfast to dinner. I came here three times in the past 4 days. the first time I tried their brownie (they didn’t have ice cream both times I came) it was delicious. I tried their Tom Ka Gai and it was a good sour taste and very flavorful. Nothing comes with it so I ordered a side of rice. The second time I had one of the falafel wraps and the third time I had their Ikaro salad. Customer service is nice, although, it does take a little bit for drinks and the food. The food is fresh and the ambiance is great for spending time with friends and digital nomads. Plug ins are offered along the walls and more on one side then the other. They also have outside seating. The music is not too loud. Overall I definitely recommend this place for any part of The day!

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately I did not like the experience in the place. All very dirty and careless. I tried to read a book and it was completely dusty. The cleaning issue is quite poor. The stained mattresses. You can have recycled objects but in good condition and clean. It is a shame because they had told me very well about the place but I could not stand so much dirt and I had to leave, we just asked for a lemonade and a coffee and when they passed the bill they put us on the bill with the pen tip, a lack of respect. I do not recommend it, a restaurant that does not have tables with a minimum of cleaning is not recommended. I can not imagine the kitchen. 3 stars for promoting healthy eating. (Original) Desafortunadamente no me gustó la experiencia en el lugar. Todo muy sucio y descuidado. Traté de leer un libro y estaba completamente lleno de polvo. El tema de limpieza es bastante deficiente. Los colchones manchados. Se pueden tener objetos reciclados pero en buen estado y limpios. Es una pena pues me habían hablado muy bien del lugar pero no soporté tanta suciedad y me tuve que ir, apenas pedimos una limonada y un café y cuando nos pasaron la cuenta nos pusieron sobre la factura con lapicero la propina, una falta de respeto. No lo recomiendo, un restaurante que no tiene las mesas con un mínimo de limpieza, no es recomendable. No me imagino la cocina. 3 estrellas por promover la alimentación saludable.

    Ikaro is overwhelming! One of the best cakes I ever had! Also the other dishes are pure organic love. For this are the prices reasonable.

    Very cute little café with a great variety of cakes/savory food and drinks (coffee, juices, frappes). One of the only organic/homemade/vegan places I encountered in Colombia. The coffee itself is intense and fruity, I recommend drinking an espresso to get most of the flavor. Lava cake is good too. The orange infused cold brew did not hit everyone’s taste, but exactly tastes what one would expect from this drink.

    I like it here. It is a wide room, nicely decorated, and best of all... great dessert options, and good coffee. One of my favorite places in Santa Marta. The new chocolate with strawberry cake is great!!!

  • 5/5 Katrina S. 2 years ago on Google
    This may be my favorite restaurant ever. The food and drinks are like nothing I've ever had before - very creative and absolutely delicious! The service is slow, but the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing to wait in.

  • 5/5 Maria G. 2 years ago on Google
    What not to like about this place ? I think it’s great with tasty and very healthy food , big portions , creative dishes and friendly service. I had avocado pistachio smoothie and rainbow salad and both were great. Prices not cheap , but totally fair and below similar places at other destinations

  • 5/5 Ivan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious coffee with great ambience and excellent desserts. Pricier than normal for Santa Marta but still very cheap compared to anything you'll find in the States. Highly recommend the chocolate brownie or the pistachio croissant, but make sure they serve it warm!

    We had the portabelo Burger and falafel. Both were super delicious!! The place is beautifully decorated and they are making everything themselves from fresh ingredients. Enjoyed it very much. Definitely eat here.

  • 5/5 Iris v. 4 years ago on Google
    Good vegan options but a bit pricey for Colombia.

  • 4/5 Andrine E. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic main dishes! I had the African stew, and was very pleased. Downside was the dessert. The brownie was very old and dry, and the nuts inside tasted old. God a bit of a stomach pain after eating it. When I told them about the brownie they did not say/do much, so a minus for the service also.

  • 5/5 Guga G. 1 year ago on Google
    I passed by this place by chance and decided to give it a try due to being so hot outside and in need of some food and drink . I had no plans to visit during my vacation in Santa Marta due to the negative reviews about service quality. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The Service was great ! The server was quick and prompt, polite . The food was delicious. Best croissant I ever had was at this place . But again , service was very good .

  • 5/5 Chad S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an unexpected gem in Santa Marta! This veg/vegan restaurant is a refreshing delicious place for breakfast / brunch. We stopped by there for juice and ended going back for breakfast the next day. Unassuming front entrance leads into a breakfast paradise. Live vines growing on the wall, smell of fresh bread and coffee in the air. Breakfast portions were large and delicious, and the fresh juice was bright and amazing! Strongly recommend!

  • 5/5 Tony E. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing breakfast. Homemade chocolate croissants and banana pancakes. Yum!!!!!

  • 5/5 Philipp M. 1 year ago on Google
    The best coffee shop I could find in Santa Marta. Preparing coffee is rather slow.

  • 5/5 Michelle N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good! Healthy place to get breakfast! We got the avocado toast with hummus and egg. I liked that it came with spinach, onions, and seeds that have a fresh taste. I also got the Thai coconut latte which they make the coconut condensed milk in house. It was a unique spin to coffee and breakfast.

  • 5/5 Samuel V. 1 year ago on Google
    Ikaro Café is by the far the best place to eat in Santa Marta. The quality of the food is far higher than any of the other restaurants. I asked the chef, everything is prepared fresh, including the croissant dough which is made on site, the limonada de Coco is made from fresh coconuts. It seems a well organised team and the waiting staff are attentive and helpful. The decor is light and natural with colours throughout. The whole building is powered by solar power, this place is so unique and seems to be trying to do everything the right way. Toilets are clean! There’s a fish pond :) The food is really tasty, I eat at Ikaro every time I am in Santa Marta. ¡Ve!

  • 5/5 Emma G. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee here is excellent. So good we went back here everyday during our time in Santa Marta ! Food was amazing and nutritious too. Only downside is there's lots of mosquitos flapping around so spray up before heading in ✌️

  • 5/5 Santiago Diaz Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place, we didn’t try coffee as i had just had 2 before. but we had lunch, the rice paper rolls, very tasty and nice. The vibes of the place are really nice, and it’s quite the gem for the tourists.

  • 5/5 Nathanya K. 4 months ago on Google
    The food is super delicious and a great alternative to most of the local food that is deep fried. Loads of choice for Vegans and Vegetarians. The restaurant is in the middle of the historic center and although crazy partying has happening outside while we were in the restaurant, inside the atmosphere was more chill - really nice to enjoy your meal. There are different seating possibilities which are inviting to stay longer. I will definitely return!

  • 5/5 Daniela G. 3 months ago on Google New
    DECEMBER 2023 • IG : SPICEPINKIE1 It is located in the middle of the city. If you blink you miss it. If you are VEGAN, you cannot go wrong with this place! The food was very tasty and everything was perfect. You also have gluten free options. The service wasn't slow as many people claims and the restaurant had a lot of people. There are beds to relax if you want Definitely a YES!

  • 5/5 M J. 4 months ago on Google
    Came here a few times as they had lots of vegetarian options. Really loved the cauiflower steak! Big serving size. Bring mosquito spray as there's a pond in there that must attract them, otherwise its a nice place to sit.

  • 5/5 E Q. 8 months ago on Google
    This is THE BEST PLACE FOR COFFEE. This place has a lovely and relaxing setting in a busy hustle & bustle of Santa Marta. The staff are multilingual & friendly. I loved this place so much that I came here for almost every meal while vacationing. Their breads & desserts are made fresh daily. Personally I am not a vegetarian. However, I do like good food so the meat was never missed with these dishes. I enjoyed a lot , the shakshuka, eggplant dish, rice paper rolls, croissants & the breakfast bowl to name a few. The only thing hard was trying to choose which smoothie to try.

  • 5/5 Angela D. 4 months ago on Google
    Came here with friends for dinner and really appreciate the vibe. Great food, friendly service, a wealth of good options for all dinners. I had the Ikaro salad, watermelon minty juice and finished with the chocolate brownie. Felt nourishing, loving and delicious.

  • 5/5 Erika L. 6 months ago on Google
    Best vegan/vegetarian spot in Santa Marta! If you love a bohemian / hippie style cafe that used fresh, natural, intentional ingredients to make vibrant and flavorful meals this will be your favorite place too! They have fresh coffees, matcha, teas, juices, and smoothies (as well as a selection of wines). For breakfast, I highly recommend their shakshuka (be aware breakfast is only until 11:30am). They also have a lunch and dinner menu. In addition they have pastries, fresh nut butters, bread, and desserts. The staff here is extremely nice, and don’t be frightened by their friendly black pup who comes up to you looking for some scratches (and maybe a snack). Prices here are pretty decent because meals are filling and made with plant-based ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed their Vietnamese Rolls that were robust with flavor even though it was just veggies. And their Pad Thai is also reallyyy good! Overall highly recommend for the food and the vibes. Feel free to come here to get some work done on your laptop or check out their community board for local events, yoga classes, and more. Love this place! I tried their cappuccino with macadamia milk and it was great coffee but the macadamia milk was a bit bitter however a little bit of sugar helped with that.

    A restful oasis in the middle of the historic district, their vegetarian selections are quite good and the atmosphere is quite relaxing. Definitely not to miss out . Sorry. I didn't take pictures. Their smoothies are quite good.

  • 5/5 Brad F. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great place to eat. Cool room with a growing wall. I think they are making a bar area out back which will be great. Perfect food and the juices were delicious.

    What a Perfect Cafe/Restaurant. It has everything we need and more. Healthy, Delicious, actually skilled and talented, coffee Is obviously exceptional, being Organic, high grade Colombian Coffee, and the options and Variety of coffee and other hot beverages is incredible and creative. Im so Happy we found this place. Once we found it, we came here just about every day. Love the staff too. Staff are very good English speakers, Friendly, and Enthusiastic. Makes you want to come back just to see them. I can't sing the praises of Ikaro Highly Enough. In my View, A Top 5 Cafe in the World.

  • 3/5 Andrew M. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything seemed ok with the place and the vibe.....menu is fine and it appears they are going to save the world with a nice graphic that shows all the good that is done along the way to make sure everything is fair and paid for proper and done with sustainability, etc. In all of this the one thing that was forgotten is that at the end of the day its a restaurant and the ball was dropped when it came to service and execution. Have the most sustainable coffee you want but if you cant complete the order, prep, and delivery portion......what does the coffee really matter. Ive spoke with others since and they love it, but this was my experience.

  • 5/5 Patrick C. 5 years ago on Google

    Great coffee, best frapp that I tried in Colombia. Delicious raw avocado chocolate cake. They don’t use disposable cups and straws which is awesome. But pretty pricey.

  • 5/5 Chef Menajem P. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a cook place, really a break from the crazy nice of the street. Excellent de cord and an vives, really perfect for a bit, a tea/coffee maybe read a book. The service is nice and the menu has a bit for each test, I loved the Turkish Coffee with the touch of Cardamon. A place not to miss as you walk in the old Santa Marta

    ¡Nice and cozy place! I didn’t expect got a lot of options based in plants here; so I got it and I’ve been here already two times. Vegan and vegetarian plates! Delicious coffee even desserts and ice cream! Yummy time 🍨😃🌱

  • 1/5 Emi S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We ate an armed breakfast that came with very bad flavor yogurt, I ordered a tea where there was no sugar, some fried eggs that I had to ask to change because they were all bursting and we were on the shore, my husband ordered a brownie with ice cream, the ice cream with ice inside and the very hard brownie like bread, lousy experience, the concept that vegetarian or vegan do not eat anything like sugar and more transversal things, with respect to the affection they put into their preparations was very poor, I really do not recommend it. (Original) Comimos un desayuno armado que venía con yogurt muuy malo de sabor, pedí un té donde no había azúcar, unos huevos fritos que tuve que pedir que lo cambiaran xq estaban todos reventados y quedamos en la orilla, mi esposo pidió un brownie con helado, el helado con hielo al interior y el brownie durisimo al igual que el pan, pésima experiencia, esta mal el concepto de que vegetariano o vegan no comen nada como azúcar y cosas más transversales, con respecto al cariño que le ponen a sus preparaciones fue paupérrimo, de verdad no lo recomiendo.
