Wonderful Vegan & Vegetarian Food in Bolivia! - Edit
As Vegetrian from usa (Original Indian)
Read moreWe had a wonderful experience at Café Vida Bolivia and actually ate there twice during our trip. As vegetarians who also enjoy vegan food, it was such a pleasure to find a place with so many delicious options.
The food was fresh, flavorful, healthy, and beautifully prepared. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. Everything we tried was tasty, and the quality was consistently excellent on both visits.
What really stood out was the combination of great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. After traveling around Bolivia, finding a restaurant that understands vegetarian and vegan needs was especially appreciated.
We would highly recommend Café Vida Bolivia to anyone looking for delicious vegetarian or vegan food. We enjoyed it so much that visiting twice says everything!
Thank you, Café Vida Bolivia, for two excellent meals and a wonderful experience! 🇧🇴🌱❤️

Nourishing reward at the top of a big climb - Edit
They have a broad menu, but we had the prix fixe almuerza which started with self-serve cream of tofu soup, 3 types of hummus, fresh bread, and juice. Everything was delicious and it felt so homey to just be able to get up and serve ourselves.

Top vegan eatery in La Paz - Edit
We went for lunch with my family. The offer of dishes expresses the flavours of Bolivian ingredients to its best. We had meals à la carte, and were satisfied. They also offer a daily lunch that includes a soup (with bread, hummus & refill) and a main dish. All in all a very good value.

I really liked this place for breakfast - Edit
The sandwich was good and you can pick what you have in it - I have hummus, pickled onions, rocket & aubergine, pesto. It was delicious ! And the coffee was alright too. Staff friendly & speak English, nice atmosphere. I’d recommend for breakfast!

Awesome! - Edit
Had the lunch of the day and it was WONDERFUL! Included Quinoa soup, fresh baked breads, two different kinds of hummus, Bolivian spicy salsa, Brazilian beans and rice with plantains, plus juice and chia pudding dessert. Food was fabulous fresh and the total bill was under five dollars! The place is immaculate, there's plenty of seating in a second room, and free wifi. The staff are very kind and friendly and really help to make the meal a memorable experience. The menu changes daily, so I'm going back tomorrow!
Read morePros: 1. Healthy tasty food, 2. Pleasant atmosphere, 3. Friendly kind staff
Cons: None!

Disappointing - Edit
We had to wait 30 min before getting a drink - it was not crowded at all. The guacamole was tasty but the rest of the food was really really dry and tasteless. We had the quinoa burger which was literally mushy cooked quinoa, with a slice of tomato and avocado on dry bread. It was accompanied with loads of pickled veggies (too much, it was out of balance) The tempeh Milanesa wasn’t much better. It seems like they do not know of the concept sauce.

Not a vegan restaurant - Edit
They offer leche de vaca "cow's milk" at no extra charge but they upcharge for coconut milk and oat milk. Very disappointing. Might as well go to Starbucks. The food was mid and unremarkable.

Pretty good food, not so good coffee. Serves cow's milk. - Edit
Had breakfast here once and their sandwiches were delicious. Also ordered cappuccinos but it was far from that — more like black coffee with a dash of badly steamed milk.
Read moreCame for a 2nd visit and ordered the daily menu. It's quite pricey (42bs) but everything was nice and tasty. Included juice, bread, 2 different kind of hummus, some spicy sauce, soup, rice and curry, and a small dessert.

Super Mittagsmenü - Edit
Wir waren hier einmal mittags und einmal Abends. Das Mittagsmenü schmeckte sehr gut. Suppe, Brot und Hummus, sowie der Saft war Selbstbedienung.
Read moreAbends hatten wir den Burger und den Tempeh, beiden war gut, obwohl das Tempeh Sandwich besser war.

Not vegan. - Edit
Everything was perfect, had a great lunch until we went back in the afternoon. A customer ordered a cappuccino and the waitress asked "would you like cow milk or soy milk?". The customer said "oh yes, cow please". I couldn't believe it. When I asked for an explanation they said that they make an exemption for people who want cows milk. The restaurant claims to be vegan on every social media, on the menu and on their banners. That's false and misleading. Not going back.

Good but not a fave - Edit
Visited around 2pm and was lucky to get the last portion of the menu del día before it ran out. The hummus with bread for starter was tasty, and hummus is naturally hard to come across in Bolivia so it was good to get my fix.
Read moreThe pumpkin soup wasn’t the tastiest and was cold, that’s on me for ordering late I suppose. The main was vegetable dal with rice which was quite good. Overall though it was probably the most expensive menu del día I’ve had in Bolivia (39bs) and I’m not sure the quality and quantity matched up to the price.
The place is a little squashy and has solid wood tables made from tree trunks, which look really cool but weren’t very comfy as I couldn’t tuck my legs under the table 🥲
Pros: food was overall quite good
Cons: uncomfy seating, not the best menu del día for the price, expensive

Highly recommend - Good food and great service - Edit
Cafe Vida is a lovely little cafe close to the Witches Market, located behind the English pub. The set lunch menu is 38bs from noon to 4 pm, although this is flexible depending on when the food runs out.
Read moreWe ate here twice while in La Paz as the food is fresh and delicious. You help yourself to soup, bread, hummus, and juice, while the main meal is prepared and provided to you at the table. The menu changes depending on the produce they buy from the market.
The food is so good that we forgot to take pictures. Therefore, the pictures provided are of the meal set-up and offerings.
Pros: Food, Service, Value for money

Super tasty vegan lunch - Edit
Got the lunch menu for 35 bobs, which includes really nice hummus, bread, soup, juice and a main dish (for me was a lentil bolognese). Went the one day just to have a tea and something sweet and smelt the lunch so decided to go back the next day. Some of the best food I’ve had so far in Bolivia, so flavourful and fresh. I’ve not really had nice hummus anywhere in Latin America in my travels but this place the hummus was great. Also had a chocolate chip cookie which was nice too. All of their food and sweet treats are vegan I think. Maybe a little more expensive than some other lunch menus but worth it as it’s not so much more.
Read morePros: Vegan lunch, Sweet treats, Kind staff

Good vegan lunch - Edit
For 35 bols per person, we enjoyed juice, soup, bread and hummus, and a main dish.
Read moreWe loved that the juice, soup, hummus, and bread was self-serving! Our main menu of the day was a chickpea curry with rice.
It was a solid lunch menu! I think if there was a little desert or if the main dish had more flare, then the whole lunch menu would be more elevated.
But all in all a solid vegan place!

Go to Vegan spot in La Paz - Edit
This is the kind of place I’m excited to eat at again! They offer a menu of the day which was delicious and so filling. For me it was bread and hummuses, soup, and soft tacos with soy meat and veggies. I also had a peanut butter shake which was delicious. I ate it before I could take a photo - so good.
Read moreI have to edit this review now I’ve eaten here twice more 😅 smoothie bowls are delicious! I had the lunch deal again and this time there was a kind of tomato stir fry for the main meal. I preferred the pumpkin soup today over the veggie soup but also preferred the soft tacos of the other day. The staff are friendly and there’s great WiFi too. Again I barely remembered to take photos, the food was good and I ate it quickly.
A quick note is that, if you order a coffee, you should specify that you want soy or coconut milk because I think they do have cow milk there too.

Pros: Cheap menu del día , Affordable , Cute cafe vibes
Cons: Specify the milk you want in coffee (just incase)
