Decent Vegan Options - Edit
A bit so-so experience, the food is decent and there are quite a few vegan options. Not the best tasting food.

Not bad, better food options elsewhere. The juices are amazing though! - Edit
There’s an ant infestation that made it super uncomfortable to be able to relax. But that seemed to chill after the first few visits. The juices are fresh and refreshing! Worth it for the fresh juice and their many combinations.
Read morePros: Fresh juice , Views , Traveller vibe
Cons: Ants!! Ants!! Big red ones!!

Bland fast food - Edit
I was happy to see a full vegan menu with items like pizza, pad Thai, some Indian and Chinese food as well as burgers, tacos and breakfast. However our food was just not good - the tofu pad Thai was served with completely unseasoned silken tofu and I can bet you anything that the dish wasn’t prepared fresh - it came out 5 minutes after I ordered it! We also ordered the vegan burrito and it was just meh, although definitely better than the pad Thai... I also ordered orange juice and expected freshly squeezed juice (as they wrote on the menu it would be just juice, no sugar or water added), alas I received juice made of blended oranges. I’m still baffled. Service was robot-like, zero smiles or even talking or acknowledging us - just dropped the plates on the table and left. Improvement required.

Got served cutlets as vegan sausage - Edit
Happened to ordered a vegan fry in the morning and i got served fried cutlets in the name of a sausages, on being asked if there were infact what they wanted to serve, they asked me if they were circular, i said no, they were cigar shaped. There you go the owner said ' That's what a vegan sausage is'.

Impressive Vegan Pizza - Edit
Coffee Temple is one of the few restaurants on the cliff side that is always packed of customers so had to stop by check the menu to see what te fuss was about. I was immediately drawn to the vegan pizza on the menu, a little pricey compared to local food prices but what can you say when your in a touristic location. Staff friendly even though they dont speak great english and food came quicker then expected. My partner and I ordered the vegan pizza, nachos and seitan salad. Nachos and salad basic but felt good to eat something different other then the local curry haha.. pizza came out and was pretty impressed. Not the best vegan pizza ive had but for a find in India I have two thumbs up. Pizza brings the marks up in my eyes other then that everything else average.

Great options, small portions - Edit
There are loads of vegan options at this location! They offer oat milk as well but unfortunately I was unable to receive any both of the times I was there. They have three kinds of vegan ice cream, I tried the coconut which was to die for but I also tried the matcha and it was warm.... not at all ice cream. The vegan tacos were very small... But the hummus and bruschetta was very delicious. The staff are incredible and very accommodating. I do recommend, especially if you are travelling with others who are not pure veg.

Good food, nice music and ambiance - Edit
Vegan tacos and nachos, and pizza. Hard to come by in India. So for that alone it is worth it.
Read morePortions are small, and the taste leaves room for improvement. Some of the wait staff doesn't speak the best English. So asking specific food questions can get tricky. But the owner is a very cool english man and can always help.
Good for food and smoothies. Although it is called coffee temple, the coffee tasted very bitter.
Pros: Full vegan menu available.
Cons: Staff a bit tricky to communicate with. , Small portions.

Food was fine but a little expensive - Edit
We ordered Tofu tacos and the vegan Chicken Burger. The Tacos came first in the non-vegan version but when we finally got the right food we enjoyed it - especially the "cheese" sauce was very good. To be honest for us the portions were not that big. However the owner seems like a nice guy and there is free water refill and quite good vibes. Next time we would may go for the vegan Pizza.
Read morePros: cheeeeese sauce!
Cons: quite expensive, take care, that you get the vegan option!

Vegan surprise! - Edit
Walked past this restaurant and noticed their fully vegan menu. Lots of choice and options. On our first visit we had tofu tacos and wraps with vegan cheese nachos and refried beans all really delicious and tasty. Second visit we had Buddha bowls to take away which were also very nice. Clearly labels gluten free options too and offers cashew/almond/soy/oat milk for drinks. Lots of seating although WiFi isn’t too great. Worth a visit though!
