Alright

A mixed experience. Salad bowl was the highlight, punchy flavours and priced in line with other establishments. Mediocre coffee and service balanced this out. My wife ordered the vuna, to later be told this was out of stock (fine) but then the order wasn’t adjusted to reflect the fact she had to order a cheaper dish (less fine). Limited options (and experience) hold back from rating higher.

Breakfast

Lovely little cafe for breakfast. Unfortunately no vegan pastry options but a couple of vegan options on the menu. I had the 'vegan toast'. It sounds random and looks like it's a ridiculous amount of cheese but it was really good and the cheese wasn't too 'vegan cheesy' so worked well. Would go again but quite a bit more expensive than other little cafes around for some reason.

Just a salad

We had there a vegan salad and it looked great but we felt very soon hungry. The proteins were missing.

Chaos!

Absolutely chaos. Service is so random that drinks took 30 minutes and I was given a flat white instead of a latte and not sure it was oat milk, food an extra 30 minutes on top. People served before us who arrived a long time after us, others arrived before us still waiting to be served after us. And worse, there's hardly any vegan options. I was about to walk out when they finally brought the food. I had the vegan toast which came with vegan cheese (which isn't even melted). Far too expensive, lack of choice, and they have no idea what they're doing. Avoid!

Pros: The young server with goatee was nice

Cons: Very slow, chaotic service, Few vegan choices , Far too expensive for the food and quality

Nowhere near enough option

I decided not to order as the options weren’t substantial - in my opinion they aren’t complete meals and won’t fill you up. Choice is severely lacking and it’s overpriced for what it is.

Cons: Severely lacking in choice

Very tasty vegan Options for breakfast!

I took the vegan Avocado toast and it was one of the most delicious vegan breakfast i ever ate. It contained dyed tomatoes, mushrooms, Avocado, cheese, Rucola and walnuts. I am a small Person and was Not full Up with food. In My opinion price was little too high.

Pros: Great taste of the vegan toast, Plant based milk available

Cons: The Portion could be bigger, Prices comparingly high

Good breakfast options

Couple of vegan breakfast options.
The vegan toast was amazing and the smoothie bowl was good too.
But Oat milk for 1€ extra is extremely expensive.

Cons: 1€ for oat milk for a cappuccino is just too much

Oat milk extortion

I ordered had a coffee that was €3.50. I wouldn’t have objected to that in itself but when I paid I saw that the coffee was only €2.50 and the oat milk was €1 on top! ONE WHOLE EURO for something like 5% of a carton. Absolutely outrageous.

When paying and waiting for the machine to ask me which currency to use (as it’s not in my bank’s country), the employee took it out of my hand and chose for me without asking. That’s totally unacceptable as it the customer’s choice she does not affect what the business gets in any way.

Cons: World’s most expensive oat milk , Staff impinging on my banking choices

Vegan Options and Great Coffee!

Tasty vegan options on the breakfast /brunch menu. Dairy alternatives for milks, we enjoyed a lovely Iced Oat Milk Latte.

Overrated

Nice coffee, but not made very well. Hot coffee is too hot and iced coffee is still warm.

Vegan toast is just… weird? Unpleasant textures, slightly warm, was just okay. Bland and uninventive.

Very unwelcoming staff too. Stood at the door waiting while people who were stood behind us were seated before us. Staff didn’t greet us, seat us, and all interactions were just… odd.

Pros: Soya milk, Decent coffee

Cons: Boring and bland vegan food, Unpleasant staff

Overpriced tourist bait

This has the potential to be a cool brunch spot but the last few times I went there it was very disappointing. I had the vegan toast. It took a really long time and arrived cold and bland. Very overpriced for what it was and a total tourist bait spot because it's right in the city centre and there aren't many alternatives around this area.

Pros: Has a few vegan options , City centre

Cons: Overpriced , Tourist bait , Slow service

Not my cup of tea

Es ist der klägliche Versuch ein „Third Wave Coffee/Specialty Coffee”-Laden in Faro anzubieten. Leider gelingt dieses nicht.
Der V60 schmeckt bitter und sauer. Einfach nicht ausgewogen.
Auch die angebotene Speisen sind nicht vergleichbar mit denen der hippen Specialty-Coffee-Shops. Aber vielleicht reicht es dem Durchschnitts-Touristen ja.
Zudem wird die Bezahlung mit Visa per Aufkleber angeboten, dann aber nur Cash akzeptiert. Ganz zufällig- wie fast überall hier - ist der bargeldlose Service gerade kaputt.

Nice spot for brunch

It was nice to have a place with vegan options for brunch. We ordered the vegan toast which was okay but could have been more flavorful. And two smoothie bowls, the açaí (without granola as it contains honey) and the detox bowl, although they don't have the vegan sign the waitress was really nice and told me they are actually vegan as long as you order without granola, they were both really tasty and fresh.

The coffee is quite expensive and not that great. I got charged 2€ to have soy milk in a small latte.

Vegan options available

There are some vegan options. Soy milk coffee is nice, the toast is not so tasty. The cheese is very bad. The nugget wrap is nice. The service can be better, but okay. Appreciate the vegan options.

Coffee only review

Small cup of expensive coffee and expensive plant milk. Took ages to find a seat as very popular and ages to be served and thought it would be worth it but no it wasn't. Wouldn't go back. No sweet treats either.

Pros: Let us eat our own vegan cookie with our coffee

Cons: Expensive coffee , €1.00 for tiny serving of plant milk, No vegan sweet treats
