Need to visit again! - Edit
Just got the carrot cake for a quick bite - friendly staff, cozy seats outside in the middle of the city and a fudgy, refreshing cake. Perfect.

Very friendly - Edit
We popped in for breakfast. The options were very tasty albeit a little small for the money. It was quiet and relaxed. Staff were incredibly chatty and friendly

Great toast & juice - Edit
Had the carrot 'lox' toast and the green Hulk juice. Both tasted great! The juice was not too sweet, which I love!

Good menu - Edit
They have delicious breakfast and lunch options, and it was hard to choose from. Their coffee is delicious. The bean burger was a bit small for the price, and without any extras.

Great menu, nice atmosphere - Edit
We've been here a couple of times now. The menu is varied, the drinks are great (I recommend the lavender matcha!) and, at least when we've been, it's been a good place to spend a bit of time.

Good coffee and a great variety of options for everyone (think junk food or roasted veggie sandwich). Cosy vibes and child friendly.

Fully plantbased fast dining - Edit
I liked the interior design, Very industrial looking. The place was quiet but it didn't feel empty. Staff was friendly. Food not special and a bit expensive.

All day plant based restaurant in the city center - Edit
A very relaxed and informal all day (note that it closes rather early) restaurant with good, plant based food for a reasonable price (not cheap). They have a lot of creative dishes on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also offers many choices to just have a coffee or a drink. It has an urban interior, which you have to love. It can be quite crowded and then it does get a little noisy, also because of the the not-so-great acoustics. Friendly and casual service.
Read morePros: Lots of choices, All day restaurant
Cons: When crowded bad accoustics

So Good! - Edit
I was looking for a vegan only place to eat in Rotterdam and found Backyard. That place didn’t disappoint. Breakfast options are very good (there will be more than your avocado toast and oatmeal). Loved the kimichi toast and the Korean loaded fries.
Read moreIt was so delicious.
If I come back to Rotterdam definitely will go there again.

Vegan paradijs - Edit
Zo fijn dat alles op de kaart plantaardig is. We hadden brood met kroket, de tosti en broodje gegrilde groenten. Was alle 3 erg lekker. Leuke toevoeging; op de schommel eten. Erg leuk als je met kinderen bent.
Read morePros: Volledig plantaardig , Lekker eten , Goeie sfeer

Nice lunch spot - Edit
The food is plantbased 🌱 and beside of very nice lunch dishes they also have options for breakfast and dinner. The prices for the breakfast are good, but for lunch and dinner, it's getting a bit more expensive (I'm saying that because the app showed only one dollar sign). Also, I love the sitting area inside. It's also quite big!
Read morePros: The inside area, Many dishes

Brilliant - Edit
Great food and good coffee and when you add that to the really friendly staff you have a great place. What a good idea offering cows milk on request, let’s make accessing good vegan food as easy as possible for those not vegan

Great vegan cafe/restaurant - Edit
We ate here twice while staying in Rotterdam recently and really enjoyed both meals. The waiting staff are super friendly and polite, the food was delicious, and there is great choice. All the food is vegan, we had burgers, soup, and a mediterranen salad, all very tasty. Would defonreturn if we are very in Rotterdam again.

Lovely breakfast - Edit
Had a really nice breakfast here (Smoked non-salmon toast) and really enjoyed it. The menu options aren't the most innovative (kimchi or avocado toast is the go-to vegan option nowadays in non-vegan lunch places), but it was well done. Coffee was really good in my opinion.
Read morePros: Quality ingredients, Made from scratch (it seems, didn't check), Great oat cappuccino
Cons: Options were a bit predictable (within the Nether)

Great food, great price - Edit
Food was fantastic, service was friendly as always. Menu is in English and most staff only speak English. Price is unbeatable for the location and quality! Ambiance is also very cozy
Read moreOnly tip I have: If you take a coffee latte, use soy or oat milk. The almond milk is too watery to actually enjoy the coffee. Also, if you ask a syrup for the coffee, they often put too much in it.
Pros: Great price, Kind staff, Good vegan food
Cons: Almond milk too watery, Too much syrup added

Nice lunch, but not for breakfast - Edit
It is marked as vegan restaurant but they serve cow milk upon request, a bit disappointed to see it from a plant based restaurant. There are many options to choose for breakfast and lunch! Personally I do not find the breakfast options quite nice, as they might be a bit overpriced for a simple bread/sandwich; however I liked the lunch menu. Especially the asian bowl, with spice level, sauce, and fried spring rolls was delicious. The location is super close to the city center and the metro. The place itself has a really authentic atmosphere. The seating area is quite big, good for working as well with a cup of coffe or so. Would like to come back several times to check the other food as well.
