Alles vegan und günstig - Edit
Das Café ist eher alternativ, jung und sehr gemütlich. Alles was an Speisen und Getränken angeboten wird ist vegan und fast halb so teuer wie in normalen Cafés in der Stadt. Der Kaffee und die Zimtschnecken haben uns sehr gut geschmeckt.

Great vegan cafe in Aarhus - Edit
There is a handful of vegan restaurants in Denmark outside of Copenhagen. Vast majority on Happy Cow have vegan options and these are fairly limited and not great. Cafe Mellemfolk is definitely worth visiting. We liked both burgers, sandwiches and drinks inc Caramel Latte and Tiramisu Latte. If we were living in Aarhus or nearby we would be frequent visitors.

Incredibly slow service - Edit
The food is vegan and tastes ok, but the service there is so slow because it is run on voulenteering. Even if you only order coffee it takes a while. But the money goes to a good purpose and they have loads of boardgames

Delicious food in a relaxed and cosy atmosphere - Edit
We went there for lunch and were lucky to still get a table as the place was busy. We ordered the Falafel salad and the Ish & Chips. Unfortunately, the cake of the day was gone already - must’ve been good. Our food was really nice and very reasonably priced for Danish standards. Despite the place being busy the atmosphere was cosy. Overall, we had a very nice experience.

Great atmosphere, very nice food - Edit
Must visit when in Aarhus!
Read moreWe enjoyed everything about Café Mellemfolk and we are so happy we found this place (thanks to happy cow)! It’s an alternative, welcoming, calm and safe space. The people who work there are very friendly and the food is all vegan and great! We went there two times because we loved it so much.
Once we had two burgers and loaded nachos which were very nice and the second time we had a salad, cinnamon buns and coffee - everything was very tasty.

Mixed feelings - Edit
I love the idea of the place, unfortunately the food just isn’t that nice. Furthermore, we have had to wait a long time for our food the times we have been there, and once they just forgot about our drinks completely.
Read moreWe have had cold burnt burgers and an inedible seasonal salad. My friends have had dry cookies, lemonade that tasted like they had put too much syrup in it and lacked acidity, and ice coffee that just tasted like milk.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and location, Great if you want to play board games, Good cause
Cons: Quality just isn’t what it should be at the price
