Adorable cafe!

Great menu, all vegan friendly, and adorable cafe with a calm aesthetic. Tables had call buttons, service was fast, food was delicious. Parking is only available on the street, bathrooms are decent.

Pros: Amazing vegan choices, Great cafe deco, Good service

Buono, ci vorrebbe più attenzione

Ristorante completamente vegano, bella atmosfera

Mi ritrovo a dover modificare la mia recensione avendo mangiato nuovamente nello stesso posso.

Purtroppo non abbiamo mangiato bene: riso era completamente scotto, fritto unto, paste sfoglie secche. (Se ci andate vi consiglierei di evitate l'asporto)

Curry con fungo fritto e riso molto buono

Great place

I loved all the vegan versions of local dishes. I wish I could have tried them all. I also really liked the cakes and croissants.
The place seems popular with tourists in general - who don't always realize it is fully vegan. I saw multiple people trying to order meat, but they ended up trying the vegan versions and seemed to enjoy them which I always love to see.

Delicious vegan Indonesian dishes

Most of their Indonesian dishes that I’ve tried were really good. The ones that I like the most are the rawon and the vegan soto. Their lumpia were ok; they’re overpriced considering the amount and tastes. Their breakfast scrambled tofu was also really good. They also have some Western and Japanese dishes.

The place was quite nice and the service was generally ok.

Lots of options

Bit further out from centre of town but easy in a cab. Nice vibes. Lovely rice dishes . Also a cheesy garlic bread

Good restaurant to try Indonesian food

The Black Forest Cafe gave me the opportunity to try some typical Indonesian dishes for vegetarians. The food is tasty, and the waiters are nice. I recommend you this place.

This is THE place to go as a vegan

This is THE place to go as a vegan in Yogyakarta. The atmosphere is great and the food is amazing. Wish I had the time to try everything on the menu. But I would highly recommend the burger and rendang! The milkshakes are also amazing. And they have bitterballen as a starter!!! I went here three days in a row. Not only for dinner, but also for their amazing mixed berry smoothie bowl for breakfast. One day, they even went as far as to come in earlier to make it for me as I was heading out around the time they would open. And when I went there for the final time, before I could leave they gave me a special gift which I have never experienced at a restaurant while traveling. The people that work there are just amazing!

Pros: Amazing food and menu, Smoothie bowl for breakfast, Amazing staff

Lovely totally vegan place with all Javan classics

Love this place! Nice music, great affordable food which includes all the traditional Indonesian dishes veganised. We also had breakfast here with excellent smoothie bowls and pancakes. They have delicious cafe and kombucha too. We only didn’t like the Soto soup

Wonderful find

A really nice place with an amazing menu and super affordable. Big variety all freshly prepared whole foods. I really loved their vegan soto (a traditional indonesian chicken soup cooked with fresh turmeric- hence the very yellow color- and instead of chicken they used oyster mushrooms). Super yummy and all in all amazing 🤩

Pros: Super tasty, big selection, No artificial flavors and mock meats, Very cheap

Great menu, kind humans

After walking 10k through the city, Black Forest Cafe was a refreshing retreat. We came mostly seeking hydration, but upon seeing the compelling menu we ordered a few bites as well. The mushroom satay was excellent - as good as it gets. The chocolate croissant was a treat, though it could’ve used a bit more chocolate inside. The Thai tea was good, and best of all they serve it unsweetened (with a shot glass of sugar syrup on the side, which we didn’t use). There’s nice kombucha as well.

The only disappointment was the “carrot cake,” which was a dense and dry bready affair with flecks of carrot, plain frosting, and no particular flavor. We’d kindly suggest to the proprietors to take a second look at that recipe.

The young folks behind the counter were very warm and helpful.

We’d love to return to try more of the menu.

Enjoy!

Can’t recommend this place enough

Everything we tried was fantastic. The beef rendang was delicious and came with the most perfect tofu and tempeh and aubergine as well. It was all so delicious and will definitely be coming back

Best vegan place in Yogya for sure!!

Amazing food, fast service, normal drinks (coke zero) and great selection of both Indonesian and western food. The broccoli bites were amazing, and the curry fried rice with vegan rendang was probably the best vegan rendang I've had in Indonesia. Super tasty. Free water too. We came here multiple times. It was worth the travel (taxi from our hotel was less than £0.50p - deffo worth it!)

Tasty food

I had unfortunately had a touch of Bali belly prior to finding this place. So we ate here 3 days in a row 😂 It was good quality and I felt safe that there were no hidden animal products! The staff were also lovely.

Pros: Big menu, All vegan
