Unscheinbar aber unglaublich gut

Es gibt eine große Auswahl von Frühstück bis Abendessen. Es gibt dabei auf der Karte eine extra Kategorie für vegane Speisen und das Café hat immer verschiedene Kuchen ect. Ich hatte Sushi mit veganem Lachs was richtig gut war und auch preiswert. Dazu gab es ein veganes Snickers, auch sehr lecker.

Pros: Vegane Karte, Preiswert, Internationale Küche

Unbelievable

Many options, unreal portion sizes. The vegan sauces are top tier. Blue mango smoothie is just impeccable. Bit pricey but what can you expect just opposite the port.

Nice food, veg menu but limited options

I really liked the cafe and nice wait staff. I waited maybe 45 minutes to pay at the end because some people take forever to order and it just takes a long time, so hot tip, pay when you order. We wanted coffee but the line dissuaded us. They charge 3% to use a credit card which is a small fee, but also illegal FYI.

Good but not my cup of tea

The food was okay but not impressed by any means.
The scramble tofu was quite bad according to me.
The smoothie my friend order was marked as vegan but had Honey in it. Common on this island to think honey is vegan

Great Variety

We visited here a few times during our stay in Gili T and enjoyed our food. There are so many vegan options to choose from which is great. Slightly on the more expensive side but it’s average for what you pay for western/vegan restaurants in Asia. When we visited they unfortunately didn’t have avocado which was present in both our breakfast dishes. The smoothie bowls were delicious, just wish they were a bit thicker.

A must visit

Best jackfruit wrap I ever tasted in my life. Might even be the best of all sandwiches 😃

Pros: Loads of vegan options

Cons: Closes at 3pm so don’t be late

5* breakfast

This restaurant is a cute, little cozy place with an inside and outside seating area. You have to order in front and pay right away. The menu is full of vegan options with affordable prices. I decided to get the breakfast pan which has coffee/tea included. This meal was HUGE. One layer of different vegetables, potatoes and tempeh and on top a big portion of scrambled tofu. It comes with bread and an amazing tasting hummus. The hummus was pink so I guess it was out of beetroot. This meal left me so happy, statisfied and completely stuffed. Definitely one of the best breakfast I've had in a while.

Cute

Cute interior and exterior, sweet staff and several vegan options. They have vegan bread(bagels, baguettes etc) which is one of the things I really miss here in Indonesia - everywhere puts eggs in them. They also have several vegan baked goods. Open till 17 though

Staff unaware of what ‘vegan’ means

I had one of the special drinks which was a vanilla bean coffee milk shake, I asked the staff if they could make this vegan and they said no problem, they would use coconut milk.

I went back the following day to get it and asked them to make it vegan again and they said it was not possible as they use ice cream in the drink… I explained that they made it for me yesterday and the lady said it’s not possible for it to be vegan because of the dairy ice cream. When I told the lady about this I had no apology whatsoever and she seemed like she wanted to serve me as fast as possible so she could go back to chatting to her colleagues

Amazing!

Some good breakfast and main meal options for vegans. I had the vegan wrap with fries and for dessert myself and a friend shared a vegan chocolate fudge cake and a cookie - there’s nothing I can say to improve any of the food it was incredible! Big portions, filling and lovely flavour combinations in the wrap.

On the more expensive side but I feel worth it for the quality of food - highly recommend!

Pros: Very tasty , Big portions

Cons: More on the expensive side , Serves animal products

Ok

Lugar bonito, pero no muy organizado. Hay pocas opciones veganas. Las que hay son "ok". Nada muy rico para el precio que tienen.

Lovely little cafe

What a cute and cozy cafe! Although not an entirely vegan menu, there were clearly marked vegan items. I have the choco smoothie bowl and a fresh juice and they were both delicious. The staff are very nice and attentive. Would recommend.

Not a whole lot for a big price

The cafe is well located and has nice indoors and outdoors sittings.
The are not a whole lot of vegan options and the menu is a tad bit confusing.

Also one of the most expensive options around

Pros: Has vegan options

Cons: Expensive

Easy to find

This café/restaurant is easy to find on the main street and offers indoor and outdoor seating. People are allowed to smoke in the outdoor section, so be aware of that. I ordered the veggie wrap and it was just okay. Vegan items are not marked, so you will need to read the menu carefully.

Pros: location, various options, indoor area

Cons: smoking outdoors, mediocre wrap

great organic food cafe

Kayu is a buzzing cafe right on Gili's main strip. It had great organic juices and the felafel wrap was a particular highlight. It also has soya for coffee which i was thrilled about. It is very busy but service is usually quick. Just be aware you need to line up to order, so don't sit at your table expecting service.
