Proposte vegan non proprio vegan - Edit
La torta di carote, che di carote nemmeno l’ombra, aveva un forte gusto di uovo. Sono poco convinta che anche i pancake e la mayo vegan fossero effettivamente vegan. Molto delusa, sconsiglio

Delusione totale - Edit
Ci siamo seduti, abbiamo aspettato e abbiamo scoperto che i pancakes erano fatti con uova. Ci hanno dato ancora "tempo per sceglie" ma dopo 15' non è tornato nessuno ci siamo alzati e siamo andati, senza che qualcuno se ne accorgesse.

Nice vegan breakfast choices - Edit
We had the pancakes with maple syrup & fruit which was tastier than it looks!! We also had the vegan veggie club sandwich which was nice, crispy and delicious. I got the barley coffee- first time I’ve ever had it, & it was great! Wonder why it’s not popular in the States. They also have a vegan avocado toast & vegan muffin
Read morePros: Tasty food!
Cons: A little pricey

Definitely go! - Edit
I absolutely loved it here. Staff were so so friendly, food was gorgeous and the decor (all pink) was so pretty. Food was a little on the expensive side but that didn’t bother me too much. It’s only 5 minutes from the lake too so in a perfect location. Menu was clearly labelled too, lots of vegan dishes
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Great location , Nice food
Cons: On the expensive side?

Good vegan food, a little expensive - Edit
The food is on the expensive side but this restaurant has some good vegan options - the club sandwich in particular is delicious. The staff are lovely. Only a five minute walk from the waterfront in Como. Would recommend for brunch or a light bite!

A cozy Easter brunch - Edit
I went to Babi for an Easter brunch and was delighted. I am vegan and gluten-intolerant, so I preferred to inform them in advance about my visit.
Read moreI was delighted by the offer: almond cappuccino, pancakes with peanut butter, avocado toast and toast with hummus.
And the atmosphere is just like being at home. The owner and coworkers are all so friendly and make it easy to socialize also with people sitting at other tables.
Plus.. it's in the very center of Como!
Pros: Many vegan options , Friendly atmosphere , Delicious food and drinks

I had the pancake w maple syrup and added banana and oreos. it was really tasty but pancakes were cold.
service was pretty quick and staff were friendly.
outdoor seating also looks lovely, but decent space inside to sit😄
would come back!

Vegan pancakes - Edit
Their pancakes are vegan and there are a few other vegan options on the menu. The food was good, however the service was very slow.

Ok for one time, not sure for a second - Edit
My friends chose this place to have a late breakfast, I was happy with their choice because I was curious, but I don't think I would come back again. The place is nice but only if you like instagram-friendly places, everything is pink and trendy. The menu offers only a few vegan choices: a salad, avocado toast (which you can top with hummus or vegetable), pancakes and a vegan carrot muffin. I had pancakes (also pink!) with peanut butter and blueberries, and a soy latte. The food is ok, but not unforgettable, price quite high to me

Amazing! - Edit
We went here two times. First time service was very slow so We left. Second time they had more staff and everything was perfect. I had the pink pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries 11€ and a cafe latte with oat milk 3.5€. The pancakes were really big and tasted good! Would recommend.

They took 1 and a half hours to bring out some avocado toast… it probably took them 2 minutes to make but theyre so unorganized and slow

Not worth it - Edit
We didn’t get a menu, and they didn’t tell us we had to use a QR code with our phone, and furthermore it took a long time for the waiter to get to us. We got our drinks after we finished our food. The smoothies tasted like water and was more like a badly blended juice. The potions of the food was really small as well, especially compared to the price. The food tasted good, and the places looked nice. We complained about the smoothies, and they gave us them for free, which was really nice

Pros: A nice place, The food tasted fine

Fresh and delicious - Edit
Some vegan options available, and they are very accommodating. Made me a vegan toast which was not on the menu. Plenty of milk alternatives available. Very warm and cozy cafe.

gutes aber teures Essen - Edit
Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Man kann sehr gemütlich draußen sitzen. Es hat lange gedauert bis wir bestellen konnten und bis wir das Essen erhalten haben. Es gibt viele verschiedene tolle Gerichte.

Meh - Edit
Had breakfast in the lovely courtyard outside, but we weren’t that impressed by the food. The cappuccino was nice, but I had an avocado toast with vegetables that was way overpriced and not really special at all. The bread itself was very bland and soft, I’m not even sure if it was toasted. We may go back to try some other things at the menu, but honestly we’ve had better food in Como for the same price or even less. It seems people have had good experiences here, so maybe we need to give it another shot!
Read moreUpdate: went here another time because options in Como are so limited and the oat cappuccino was really nice after all. Tried a bowl with quinoa and seitan, which was okay but still not very impressive. I still think the food is quite overpriced and not all that special, but given that there's not much else in Como this is a good option if you crave some vegan food.

Very cute place in a courtyard. - Edit
Be aware that the location on Happy Cow is 31 seconds away on the same street. The owner is a sweetheart. The place isn’t ‘Lake Como’ vibes but more of a ‘live, laugh, love’ vibe. Great coffee! Didn’t try the food but it looks amazing too!
Read morePros: ‘Cute’ vibe, Sweet owner

Amazing cake - Edit
We went to Instant Coffee to have some vegan cake and we ordered the chocolate cake and fruit cake. The fruit cake was good but the trophy was won by the amazing chocolate cake that was fresh, delicious and powerful.
Read moreThe place itself has a good vibe and Barbara the owner and her crew are friendly and fun to chat with. If you are in Como take some time and visit this place.
