    Place looks nice but is very overpriced. One piece of bread was only half and 2 pieces made 1 piece. Literally cut in two. Very meagerly topped. Portions were very small and the coffee was disgusting. Prices were so out of balance, they should review it. This was more expensive than lunch in the centre of Amsterdam or London. Wasted my money here.

    Absolutely amazing. The staff is very friendly and the venue is beautiful, cozy and cute. A lovely place to have your meal. And maybe this is the best part. The menu is great. Lot of tasty options. I had the avo vegan burger and it was simply gorgeous. Congratulations to the team. It’s already my favorite restaurant in Braga and I’m not even vegan. Strongly recommended.

    Worst hummus ever, it was literally liquid. So runny it wouldn’t stay on the carrot. Also, the menu said the hummus was gf and when it came with bread I asked if it was gf they said, no and there was no gf option. The best part was that when I complained about the hummus the waitress said that she hasn’t made it (so smart to point that out 🙄) and that it was like that at that place. I had to show her what hummus looks like in Google so she could understand that you cannot call hummus a liquid.. Also, the chocolate for the pancakes was some kind of water with a little bit of cacao, what a way to ruin pancakes.

    We really liked the place and returned there several times during our stay in Braga. The food is simple and healthy, without anything processed or extra sugar. It was refreshing to enjoy pancakes without extra sugar as most places usually serve them extra-sweet. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff are very helpful and polite. If you like slow, healthy food I absolutely recommend the place.

    Very tasty food. We were so happy to eat there vegan salads and drink healthy juices. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The stuff is super friendly. Highly recommend.

    Tourist trap !!!! No wonder it was empty on a Saturday afternoon.... Can’t believe I payed 5 euros for such a tiny salad...it looked good because veggies are shredded and fluffy but I was done with it in 20 seconds: this is the reason people don’t like vegan places. Come on owners, cabbage and beets are not that expensive.... and like what 5 pumpkin seeds ?..... feels like I’ve been cheated ... and what a teaspoon of hummus thinly spread on the plate ? It’s ridiculous really ... and on top of that they don’t take cards if it’s under 5 euros and my salad was 4.90 ... I complained about the size of the salad which is like 5 teaspoons of veggies and the girl just replied it’s our portion ..... sort of ruined my mood for the day out in Braga ...

    It's not easy to find some good vegetarian places but this one is a little gem. Lovely veggies and carbs during my bike ride!

    if you want to eat a meal and not a concept, hard pass. there are other sustainable places to eat that will actually be a both a good experience tastewise, fullness wise and texture wise. a toast (7€..) will not make you full. the bread is so hard your mouth will bleed (mine did). genuinely sad. staff is sweet though.

    Nice interior, nice concept of vegan food but that's it. Terrible coffee (at least that mine was very bad. I ordered cappuccino with extra shot.. normally it's Flat White) and the food itself.. for 9,5€ vegan burger which was from the bigger part just dry bun (pastry) nah..

    Young staff, knew English. If I lived nearby I'd always be eating here. Very good food, perfect for vegetarians

    Place is very cozy, staff was very friendly. We ordered hamburger and loved the bread. Natural juice was very nice too.

    Lovely staff, informing you about everything you can try and answering all your questions. Cozy interior design, tasty and healthy food, prepared right there, right now! Worth trying all dishes, can't wait to go for more. Menu is great for power charging lunch and brunch.

    Lovely cafe just off from Braga Old , funky, vibrant interior. We went there for breakfast , and food was OK....unfortunately dessert was bit of disappointment . Panna cotta like dessert had way too much setting agent ( maybe agar agar). It was a nice vanilla flavour but maybe the recipe has to be improved when it comes to the texture

    Delicious healthy food near the city center. The buffet option is great to eat what to you like. I paid €9.50 and it included tea and soup. Eat and drink as much as you like.

    Very nice slice of cheesecake but I wouldn’t come back here again for coffee. We ordered a Cappuccino and it was as pictured. No foam and more like a coffee with milk which was quite bitter although we were still charged for a cappuccino. Maybe our server was new at making coffee but I would recommend getting a juice or tea instead if you visit here as that is what they seem to specialise in.

    I took the buffet lunch. Really delicious! Beautiful interior and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!

    Lovely place, very friendly staff, but the food was very bland and simple. No imagination and no taste. Will not go again😟

    We LOVED this charming plant based cafe in former horse stalls. The outdoor seating area is welcoming, but the cool weather made us choose to dine inside the wonderful space. So much personality and ambiance and an interesting vegan menu. The tea and kombucha is self-serve. We enjoyed fresh made smoothies, Jasmin and Daisy, and the Mushrooms on Caramel Toast, which was incredibly tasty, and the oatmeal with fresh fruit, which was filling and warming on a cool morning. The vibe was incredibly relaxed and soothing. Good service. We plan to return to this place right outside of the historic center. 4.8 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
