Great breakfast place! - Edit
A cosy, comfortable, and friendly little place! Nicely decorated and good music. A bit pricey, but very priceworthy.
We've had the 'Big vegan breakfast' (good and filling), the rice porridge (different but very nice!), and the tofu/mushroom/hummus sandwich (delicious and well-balanced). Pictures are in the gallery. The teapot (we tried ginger and mint, both terrific) for 10,000 kip is a must! Lasts forever.
The Wifi password is greatpizza.
Pros: Cosy and comfortable, priceworthy, no-smoke
Cons: Leather furniture

good project, good food, bus less vegan options... - Edit
Good project which helps the local people.
They support the locals in Luang Namtha try the reduce garbage (they use straws from bamboo and textile issues).
They don't have so much vegan options. We tried the vegan burger and it was quite good. In the afternoon they make also pizza in a wood oven.
Pros: good project, eco-friendly, delicious
Cons: expensive, less vegan options

Nice place - Edit
There was a decent selection of veg/vegan food here, including salads, sandwiches, pasta and pizza (one had no cheese). The portions were not too big and the price was relatively expensive (typical tourist pricing). The place was nice though, with couches to relax on and the best wifi in the city. It is a nice place to get a pizza or drink and hang out with friends or check your emails. If this type of place is what your looking for, they have some good menu options.
Pros: Ambiance, Food, Location
Cons: Price, Selection

Great food, but isn't local. - Edit
This place is a veggie haven. I only wish it could provide local cuisine to the quality of it's western dishes. Something Lao is lacking in general outside Vientiane and Luang Prabang.
Pros: Good options, Great food, Nice people
Cons: Expensive, Western food
