Delicious Vegan Eats but Limited Options

Spanglish Review:
We came por que una recomendación de mi prima. Excelente ya que tienen conocimientos sobre veganismo y son muy amables!
El servicio fue excelente, incluso tenían kombucha, así que era fan! Lo único malo es que las opciones veganas son muy limitadas. Me encantaría ver que amplíen sus opciones veganas o que hagan un menú aparte o que hagan que la opción vegana sea the default, como para avocado toast. I would recommend to other visitors and locals alike! Their bread is their speciality!

Pros: Vegan/Plant-Based Options Available, Knowledgeable and kind personnel, Delicious Vegan Ciabatta Sandwich

Cons: Not Fully Vegan/Plant-Based, Very Limited Default Vegan Options, Bread Does Not Have a Lot of Vegan Options

Good but few vegan options

Went there for breakfast and the only real vegan dish was the bahn mi sandwich, which I ordered as well as a kale sautée side and a moka with almond milk. Moka was not great bit the sandwich was really tasty ^^ i would like to have more vegan options but it is was ok for me. No vegan pastries…

Pros: The spot is very nice and the servers too, Some sides like kale or spinach, A 100% vegan sandwich

Cons: Just 1 vegan option, They kindly ask to avoid any modifications

The Hype is Real

This is the only place in town with a constant wait list! It’s been recommended multiple times and y’all won’t stop about the banh mi! I finally squeezed in and it was divine. I don’t even like mushrooms, but this was off the charts the best sandwich I’ve ever had. I also got the water of the day: pineapple guava. Delicious! I walked next door to their bakery for a loaf of bread to take home. Def understand the hype!

Pros: Best sandwich ever, Fast service, Inexpensive

Cons: Always a line, Not many vegan options

It is THAT good

In a wonderful courtyard next to the namesake bakery. Believe the other reviews when they say the banh mi is one of the best ever, because it is. Period. First, the baguette is one of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Crispy, chewy, delicious. One of those sandwiches that gets better as you go because it soaks up the ingredients in it, and gets wonderfully soft. We also had the English muffin egg sandwich, and it was fantastic as well for non-vegans. Entire menu is great. Highly recommended.

Pros: Delicious food, Great atmosphere , Friendly staff

Cons: Few vegan options, No vegan pastries

Really, really delicious

Update: went twice, tried both sandwiches - Bahn mi is far superiors to vegetariana.

After a quick glance at pictures on here, I don’t know why but I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. Like the previous reviewer, I ordered the Bahn Mi sandwich because reviews suggest it’s the best (clarify you’re vegan) - it is soooooooooo delicious. It was like a flavour journey. They’ve put so much thought into this sandwich.

When we arrived we had to wait in a queue (seated) but it went down super fast so don’t be put off by the line. We waited like 6 mins. And food came out super fast despite the “slow food” wording at the top of the menu.

Not a lot of options, but good Banh mi

About 3 vegan options on the menu, but after checking happy cow it seemed like banh Mi was the way to go. It’s not naturally vegan, but just tell them your dietary restrictions and they’ll adjust it. Really enjoyed my food, for a good price. This place is definitely popular for a reason!

Very very good food!

Went two times there and ordered the same thing! Bahne Mi is so so so good, worth trying it! Nice atmosphere and tasty food, but they don’t have a lot of vegan options.
But, be ready for a big line. First we went there around 11 in the morning and we have to wait for at least half an hour. The second time we were there at 8:30 when they open the restaurant and it was already a line and we have to wait at least 15 min to get a table. Thats the only bad thing there.

Pros: Very tasty

Cons: You have to wait in a line

Worth it for the Bahn Mi

We turned up at 1pm and there was a huge line but we didn’t have to wait long. Great food not many vegan options worth it for the Bahn Mi.

Best Bahn Mí ever

I thought being a trendy hipster place this would have more options, but honestly the vegan bahn mi is of the best sandwiches i’ve ever had! any dish with bread in it is amazing. although they only have like 2-3 vegan options, all very tasty.

Updated from previous review on 2022-12-25

Pros: Great place, Fantastic flavour and great quality bread, offer a great selection of vegan milk

Great food and lovely atmosphere

I actually ate here twice during my stay in Oaxaca. The vegan options are good, price good and the ambiance is lovely and cosy feeling. The Bahn-mi is delicious- and that's coming from someone that doesn't like mushrooms! Highly recommend. Would be a great place to bring meat eaters as there is plenty of choice.

Pros: Good vegan options , Great portions, I left feeling very full, Good price

Went for vegan pizza…had banh mi sandwich instead

I was so looking forward to pizza for lunch. Sadly, it’s not served until after 2:00. So I ordered the Vietnamese banh mi sandwich as a back up.
It was phenomenal! I also ordered a fresh green juice. I’ll definitely return.

Pros: Cool rustic/industrial ambiance, Nice flavors , Fresh juices

Cons: Why can’t pizza be served before 2:00?

Good vegan sandwiches!

This place has a few vegan and veggie options, if you love a sandwich - hit this place up. Also, you can make some of the veggie options vegan. Get there early to put your name down as you cant reserve. It's so worth a visit!

Few options but very good!

I went for breakfast had the vegetarian sandwich made vegan twice and it was delicious. Had an almond milk hot chocolate & almond milk latte, both good too. Not many options but honestly the sandwich was SO GOOD which is why I went back. $150 for sandwich & coffee. Good wifi.

Very busy… both times I arrived at 8.30-8.45 (they open at 8.30) and the place was basically full. When I left there was queues outside waiting so prepare to wait. Also because of this it felt quite rushed pressured to leave immediately rather than enjoying the place which is a shame because it’s such a nice place. This might be different at a different time of day!

Pros: Delicious sandwich

Cons: Not many options, Very busy

Great spot!!! Loved it.

Sat at the bar as I was by myself, so glad I did. There was a line up when I got there at 10 am, about 25 minutes. The bar service was great and met two fellow travelers, we had great conversations and I even got some great tips for things to do that I had no idea about.
I had the Bahn mi sandwich, perfect portion size, amazing bread, wonderful flavor, completely vegan as is. Express was great, sadly no vegan milk, great agua de Jamaica. Good value. The one guy had the hot cakes and let me try them. They were good but too sweet for me but he loved them.

Pros: Fresh, delicious food, filling portions , Enough options, Great service and value

Cons: No vegan milk for coffee

Not many vegan options

I had the vegetarian sandwich. It was great. But unfortunately it is one of the only vegan options on the menu. Some other items can be made vegan upon request, but options are limited (especially if your Spanish isn’t great). The atmosphere is really nice and I loved the seating area. This place can get busy so plan ahead. This restaurant has great potential, but needs to revamp its menu to add more vegan choices.

I liked my food a lot

I had a big salad and a bahn mi. Both were excellent. Each cost $100 pesos. This is a great option if all the vegan restaurants are closed.

I asked what on the menu could be made vegan, and the waiter told me that both the Bahn Mi and the Vegetarian could be.

The salad was vegan by default. Best salad I’ve had since I’ve been traveling, at least that I can remember.

Great!

I only had the sandwich vegetariana (vegan option) twice and really liked it. Will try a pizza made vegan next time (but they only start making pizza at 2pm).
The atmosphere is great and the staff super nice and professional.

Cons: Not many vegan options

Bahn mi isn’t vegan

We came here wanting the bahn mi and were told it cannot be made vegan. Our server said the mushrooms are cooked in butter and the chipotle harissa isn’t vegan. We ordered the vegetarian sandwich which on the menu states it can be made vegan whereas the bahn mi doesn’t. The vegetarian was delicious! We came in about 40 min before close so perhaps that’s why they couldn’t do a vegan bahn mi

Pretty place

This place was across the street from our hotel and what a nice find. Doesn’t have a ton of vegan options but what they do have it pretty good. Got the banh mi mushroom sandwich (vegan) was a side of fries. Since we have been eating Mexican for a week it was nice for a change up. It wasn’t my favorite meal in Oaxaca but it was good and I was thankful for an option that was just a few steps out of our door.

Pros: A few vegan options , Everything is made in house , Prices are really good
