great place!

A really great vegan buffet! delicious food.
The lasagna for example is amazing.
and as beggining we got a nice bread with a dip!
Just a little too greasy, and also the food in the lunch box on top of each other, which is less fun ..

Quick, filling, tasty

Went to Alhambra cafe for dinner and got their buffet style pay by weight dinner. There was a nice variance of flavors— I got some chickpeas, samosa, rice, greens, bell peppers, carrots, pumpkin, and green beans. You tell them what you want, they heat it up on a paper plate in an oven, and then serve it on another plate. I was super hungry so it was nice to have some filling food, but it was a little bit oily and I’m personally not a huge fan of the whole reheating food thing in Milan, but it was still pretty tasty. The guy working there was so sweet and helpful!

Really really good vegan food

I’ve been here a couple times while waiting for trains and planes, I actually try to arrange enough time between plane transfers (about 4 hours). Pay by weight, huge variety, and really great desserts. It’s listed twice on the app, the actual opening time on weekdays is noon.

Pros: Great desserts, Huge variety

Cake was amazing

We came here on Friday afternoon to get some cake. It was delicious! We wished we bought two pieces. We came in Saturday night but didn’t have a reservation. We couldn’t see any cakes anyway so we weren’t bothered. Then we had lunch on our last day in Milan, again really hoping for cakes. The lunch was ok, one of those buffet things (not really a buffet because they have to warm it up for you) where you pay by weight. Again ok, not fabulous. No cakes (they did have tiramisu). I asked if they were getting cakes today and they said yes. So we dropped back about an hour before they closed. No cakes.

Pros: The cakes when available

Cons: The pay by weight thing. It’s just a bit tedious

Cozy place, clean food, fast service

Stumbled upon this place while visiting Milan and it was the perfect healthy dinner after a long day of travel and jet lag setting in. Just what my body needed!

Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff, Great location

Delicious food + amazing tirumusu

I really enjoyed having lunch here, food is home made and delicious!

They have a huge selection in a buffet and you pay by weight. Lots of high protein options, beans and legumes plus greens.

Also the tiramisu is to die for. Not too much coffee but enough to leave a hint and really creamy. I will come back next time I am in Milan!

Pros: Fully vegan, Amazing Tiramusu, Lots of choice

Great tiramisu

I arrived at around 9pm, the place was quite full but I got a spot. The variety and quality of foods was really good! They make the kind of lasagne that definitely does not look, feel or taste vegan. Tiramisu was creamy, thick and tasty.

Pros: Variety of foods , Tiramisu, Lasagne

Vegan tiramisu!!

Came here for the vegan tiramisu, which was delicious and creamy and fluffy. They have a lot of different options for both lunch and dinner, buffet/pay per weight style. Everything looked good, but I can only speak for the tiramisu. Definitely recommend coming here for that though, it was also rather cheap in my opinion (3€ for a large piece). You can sit outside and eat in the sunshine! Staff is super friendly :)

Pros: vegan tiramisu, friendly staff, fair prices

Weird vibe, good tiramisu

I came in to an empty and quiet cafe, where the only person in there seemed to be the business owner, doing business calls.

I got a nice coffee and a huge piece of tiramisu.

Buenísimo

Es una cafetería pequeñita pero muy acogedora, es el primer sitio que fuimos en Milán.
Perfecto para meriendas, tienen varias tartas y tarifas veganas y también tienen algo de salado por si lo prefieres.
El chico que nos atendió fue muy amable.
Por lo visto tienen la cafetería y a pocos metros el restaurante vegano pero al restaurante fuimos solo a por el postre antes de volver al hotel.
El precio está bastante económico dando por hecho que la comida vegana suele ser más cara y la tarta de oreo estaba deliciosa, creo que de los postres veganos que más me han gustado.
Totalmente recomendable para una buena merienda.

Pros: Tartas veganas deliciosas, Precio asequible, Buen trato

Cons: Ninguno

So far I have only tried their decadent cakes, and they were all absolutely scrumptious (pistachio; triple chocolate; Oreo).

Pros: Decadent vegan cakes, Friendly staff

Wonderful!

No air conditioning, but otherwise great. The vegan cakes are great (the chocolate cake is a bit dry for me but still great), especially the creams!!! The staff is nice and friendly and helped me get the WiFi password. Let me stay as long as I wanted!

Pros: Great creams, Good WiFi, Friendly staff

Cons: Chocolate cake a tad dry, No air conditioning

Best service ever and food is delicious!

The food at this place is just so phenomenal! The service is absolutely incredible! Jon was such a great host, he makes delicious cakes and dessert! The value for the food it's just ridiculous, 3 people ate abundantly and had dessert, water and tea, and only been charged €21 in total! We had to leave a big tip as that wasn't acceptable for how amazing the food and service was

Pros: lots of food to choose from, they let you taste fo

Cons: too bad it's only in one town!

Everyone we asked, recommended it!

We arrived quite late to Milano, so by the time we wanted to have lunch, all restaurants were closing, but not this one. This place is divided in 2 areas, the restaurant (Alhambra Gastronomía Naturale) and the café (Alhambra Cafe), were they served us the remains of the day were you could choose in between some options (not so many as it was late).
The young lad who served us was so lovely, he put us Spanish music as soon as he found out we were from Spain.
There is free tea and the best Tiramisu you will ever try!!!

Pros: Cheap, They gift us with a dessert, Best vegan Tiramisu ever!!!!!!
