OK food, uninterested staff - Edit
I ate the burger with cheese and the tempeh. Both tasted flat, nothing special. My wife ate the lasagna which tasted superb. The staff was more interested in her smartphone than her customers.

Very nice place - Edit
We shared the vegan burger and soba noodle salad with my sister, and they were okay. Burger had too much sauces in it and was quite small to my opinion but the noodle salad was nice surprise even though there was too much dressing in it too. The atmosphere is perfect and the owner is sweet. Many healthy options. Maybe still would not go there again because the food wasn't so good.
Pros: Nice place, Healthy options
Cons: Not so tasty food

Great calm atmosphere, healthy food - Edit
A quiet place to relax and enjoy the good food. They have a great range of food on offer. Also some really healthy options. Service was goody but didn't speak English well. Free WiFi and water. Good prices, I paid about 100 bath for a meal. It's organic food, so I think it's cheap.
Pros: many options, healthy, organic

would NOT recommend - Edit
Came here at 10:00am for some breakfast, couldn't find anyone, after a couple minutes we heard someone and shouted to ask if they were open, to which they said yes. We waited around for a few minutes for someone to come and give a menu, or say something while we could here the staff making noise at the back. One staff member came out just as we were leaving.
The staff here seem to think it's more important to stock the glasses for their empty restaurant rather than tend to their first customers.
I'm not fussy or hard to please, but this is common courtesy to make your customers feel welcome. I sure as hell wouldn't want my food made by people here, I wouldn't enjoy it coming from someone who has no interested invested in their work.
First impressions are everything. Maybe if we came on a different day we would have loved it, but unfortunately not impressed.
I have a vegan cafe myself, and would never allow myself or my staff to lower their standards like I was shown today. Disappointing.
Cons: horrible service

very tasty - Edit
It had such a good atmosphere and was so tasty! I had the biggest vegan burger I've ever seen and it was only 150 bath, so $5 Canadian
Cons: I did ask for no mayo and they put it on anyways, no napkins or cutlery at the table

Relaxed and charming - Edit
A small space with an outdoor veranda and indoor living room style setting. All open air, no a/c that I could see. Food was simple but delicious and nutritious. Staff were warm and welcoming. The owner's toddler boy came round to play with everyone. The overall experience was reminiscent of similar places in CM like Bodhi Tree or Pink House - relaxed and peaceful, like being in some local familiy's living room. Would go again.
Pros: Peaceful , Good deal
Cons: Hot on a hot day

The food was good, nothing too special, and the portions were quite small.
I did enjoy the tempeh though!
My friend had the burger but was quite underwhelmed :)
Their asian style dishes are the best!

Cons: Very hot, Small portions

Fresh and tasty food - Edit
We were pleasantly surprised how fresh the ingredients tastes! It's a mix between western and Thai food, definitely would recommend it.
Pros: all vegan, fresh ingredients , tasty
Cons: hippy look and feel of the restaurant , water was given in tiny glasses (it's annoying whe, seats were low and quite uncomfortable

not great anymore - Edit
Amrita Garden used to be one of my favourite places, I was there at least once or twice a week. But oh gosh it changed so much. Staff is so rude and inattentive. They let me pay before receiving food and drink, so therefore I only gave a small tip and she got so mad at me. Staff in general speaks really little English, so make sure evything you get is really vegan (like drinks that are also made with milk).
Food that used to be great is now below average and was also cold! Not worth the high price!
Pros: nice place with music and a great garden, "hippie place", free water
Cons: really rude staff, food below average, cold, high price

My favorite restaurant in Chiang Mai! - Edit
I LOVED the food there! We ordered the soba noodles, vegan pasta, tempeh ribs, and Thai green soy milk tea. Everything was amazing! We went there twice when we were in Chiang Mai.
One thing that I think can be improve is that the banner outside of the restaurant says "vegan" but some desserts actually contain milk or honey. It would be great if the banner said "vegetarian" so people wouldn't walk in there thinking it was vegan.
Pros: Amazing food, Nice vibe, Friendly staff
Cons: No AC, Says vegan but is actually vegetarian

Incredibile esperienza - Edit
Il locale mi e' piaciuto moltissimo, l'atmosfera e' incredibile. Il menu e' così ricco di scelta, che si vorrebbe provare davvero tutto. Io ho preso un lunch set con riso al Ginger, un caffè di fagioli rossi, un trancio di torta vegana alle carote e semi. Assolutamente fantastico!

Such a charming place! - Edit
An absolutely lovely little gem. Good food, mostly vegan, great service and to little dogs. The main attraction of this place is the feeling it exudes: relaxed, friendly, humble and kind. Def check it out.
Pros: Atmosphere , Two small cute dogs, You take your shoes off at the door

Boring - Edit
Sorry to not agree with everyone's gushing reviews, but three of us are there last night and we all thought the food was completely lacking in flavour. Sure it might be healthy, but healthy does not need to be boring.
They didn't have the vegan burger, so perhaps that's why we lucked out.
Pros: Lovely staff
Cons: Boring food, Over the top menu
