Top place to eat

A vegan only place in Bonn, nice location and very delicious food. Not very expensive for students. We had a soup and a lasagna, followed by really great cake. The food changes everyday, but the Cappuccino is quite good.

Poor flavour combinations - too fussy

All three of us found the food poorly thought out with incompatible flavour profiles. Poor value and largely disinterested staff. Maybe the simple food is ok but the taster menu was not. Two vegans and one vegetarian and none of us ate our main plate of food. Very disappointed as the reviews suggested it would be amazing.

Pros: Looked pretty

Cons: Poor flavour choices , Overly complicated , Small

To-Go

Der vegane Salami-Käse Bagel zum mitnehmen war mega. Super nettes und hilfsbereites Personal, Pfandbecher und nette, gemütliche Bistroatmosphäre

Pros: Pfandbecher/Becher selbst mitbringen, Vegane Frühstücksalternativen

Cons: Öffnungszeiten

Excellent Vegan Restaurant

The food here is done to perfection. So much so that my non-vegan husband likes to eat here - he says the food is delicious. Definitely worth a breakfast or lunch stop (no dinner service) if you're in Bonn.

Charming lunchtime place with great food

I picked up lunch during lockdown and wow! It was super yummy, served in a reusable takeaway glas and tasted amazing! The owners were super charming and helpful and the queueu was worth the wait! The vegetables in my curry were on point, crisp and not cooked to death. The curry was full of flavours, not too spicy and the portion (I went with the larger one) more than enough, I even only finished the next day.
Definitely a great stop for a delicious, healthy vegan lunch if you are in the area! Next up I will try their breakfast offering and hopefully the seating area will be availabl again soon.

Pros: Tasty and fresh food, Re-usable togo glasses, Convenient location

Cons: Long queues, Only open for lunch, dinner would be great!

Super lecker und viel Auswahl😍

Total leckere Speisen, gute Angebote und viel Auswahl an Kaffee und der Pflanzenmilch. Angeboten werden: Hafer, Soja, Mandel, Chashew, Haselnuss und Kokos.
Super finde ich auch das Mehrweg-Pfandsystem für To-Go.

Pros: 6 verschiedene Optionen für Pflanzenmilch, Frühstück und Mittagsgerichte

Cons: Relativ teuer

Gemütliches schönes Bistro

Ich habe inzwischen schon ein paar mal die Esskalation besucht und kann es nur empfehlen.

Die Karte ändert sich wöchentlich und bietet so eine super Abwechslung. Das Bistro an sich ist gemütlich und überschaubar eingerichtet.
Im Sommer findet man sogar Plätze um draußen zu sitzen.

Bei meinem letzten Besuch gab es Overnight Oats mit eine Latte Macchiato.
Dieser wird nicht mein letzter gewesen sein!

Pros: Veganes Bistro , Gute Erreichbarkeit mit Bus und Bahn

Lunch lohnt!

Sehr leckeres Essen. Wir haben auf den Lunch gewartet und es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Die Portionen waren angemessen. Der Kaffee war sehr lecker. Das gesamte Ambiente lädt auch zum verweilen ein. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Awesome

Great food and friendly staff. It’s a bit pricey like most vegan cafés but it’s worth the money. I’ll come again.

Bestes Café in Bonn

Meiner Meinung nach handelt es sich hierbei um das beste vegane Café in Bonn!!! 😍 Die Öffnungszeiten (Mo-Fr von 8:00-16:00 Uhr) könnten gerne verbessert werden. Ein Tag am Wochenende wäre ganz toll. Dann könnte ich viel öfter hierhin kommen.

Pros: Ausschließlich vegan 💚🌿

Cons: Öffnungszeiten nur Montag bis Freitag (8:00-16:00)

Really great coffee

This place is great, really nice atmosphere and awesome coffee. Everything here is vegan the only reason it’s listed as vegetarian is because they still serve cows milk on request. They did say that they would be removing this as an option in 2020 so it’s worth checking.

Pros: Tones of vegan options, Gluten free cakes, Great coffee

Cons: Still serves dairy milk last time I checked

Hello Douglas, I'm Tom, the chef of the "ESSKALATION" in Bonn. Thank you for your review. I just saw your recent update in 2020. Good news: Since January 1, 2020, we do not offer any dairy anymore. So we are 100% vegan now - without exceptions.

Yummy food and super friendly atmosphere

Go visit this place!
I visited this new café on a cloudy day and it made my day sunny😄

Food was super really yummy, good seasoned. I had the daily dish, minestrone, and a gluten free Blondie as a dessert, they were both fresh cooked/baked and delicious. With the daily dish you have the choice between big and small, so you can adapt it depending on your appetite. If you want to take the food To go, they put it in a glass container, which is great for people caring even more about the environment and packaging issues.

The owners that are making the food and service themselves are really nice people with good vibes and I would definitely come back there the next time I’m in Bonn!!!
