Hands down the best vegetarian/vegan food in Mt Dora

We just had lunch here and the food was fantastic. It starts with friendly service. The portions are huge and everything tasted fantastic. Lots of wonderful special details like spiralized beets in the salad. A total five-star experience!

Pros: Service , Food quality , You can eat inside or outside

Cons: There are no cons with this restaurant

Really great find!

The menu had so many wonderful options that it was hard to choose. All five people in our party loved their food (and I was the only vegan.)

Pros: Menu options, Quality of food , Central location

Cons: It’s a little hidden away off the street

Wide range of vegan offerings

I had a corn empanada, which was delicious. The carrot cake unfortunately didn’t live up to my expectations : soggy with a baking powder aftertaste.

Pros: Very warm welcome, Delicious empenada, Outside seating

Cons: Soggy carrot cake

Fabulous Vegan Restaurant

Very sweet little eatery with wholesome homemade vegan dishes. Carlos and Rosanna are very sweet. We had the yucca appetizer, a meatless empanada, an Impossible burger with roasted potatoes and a jackfruit quesadilla. Everything was delicious. We will definitely go back! #Veganuary

A surprise treat!

So pleased to have found Dark and Light Cafe. Delicious vegan and vegetarian food and super friendly Argentinian-warm service! Lots of indoor (cool) and plant-surrounded outdoor seating. We ate a black-bean quinoa quesadilla, avocado toast, and a cinnamon roll - all amazing. Highly recommend- just don't make it too crowded for us to return. 😉

Pros: Delicious Food, Great Service , Variety Seating

Cons: A bit hidden away

A must try if in the Mt. Dora area

The vegan empanadas are delicious and affordable. The vegan Alfajor is THE best dessert I've had in a long time. Worth the hour drive I take just for that and the coffee. The owners are very nice and accommodating.

Pros: Lots of vegan options., Small business with great service., Worth your money

A Vegan Gem in Mount Dora Center

Home made everything, tasty and healthy.
I’m so glad I found this cafe when visiting Mount Dora. They open only 2 months ago and the Menu is mostly vegan. Only a few dish are vegetarian. We had avocado toast, spinach and eggplants empenadas, a huge vegan salad with delicious avocado homemade salsa
De-li-cious
Great service
Thank You
We will be back

Todo hecho en casa, sabroso y saludable.

Me alegro mucho de haber encontrado este café cuando visité el Monte Dora. Abren hace solo 2 meses y el menú es en su mayoría vegano. Solo unos pocos platos son vegetarianos.
Comimos tostadas de aguacate, espinacas y empenadas de berenjenas, una enorme ensalada vegana con deliciosa salsa de aguacate hecho en casa!

De-li-cioso

Gran servicio
Gracias por su cocina
Nos vemos pronto

Vegan food with love

Finally a fully vegan spot in Mt. Dora! We happened to stumble upon this on Happy Cow. We were always so disappointed that Mt. Dora doesn’t have great vegan options… until now! The chef and staff are incredibly welcoming. The food is fresh and made with vegan love. My boyfriend and I were so happy to eat here. We can’t wait to go back.

Pros: All vegan, Creative menu, Fresh

Super friendly and great food!

Lots of vegan options for breakfast or lunch. We chose a jackfruit auesadilla and an eggplant panini. Both were delicious and I got one each of the empanadas to take home because we couldn’t even eat all our meals, but wanted to try those too. We also tried a caramel dessert that I can’t recall the name of, but it was also tasty.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great variety , Very friendly

Delicious vegan desserts

I've had a generous slice of banana cake with caramelised walnuts and a raisin oatmeal cookie - both were very tasty, moist, and not too sugary.

Plenty of other options on their menu!


The staff was helpful and pleasant too!

Delicious Vegan Spot in Downtown

Was pleasantly surprised with how amazing the food was. Full of flavor and it was nice to have a vegan place to eat located in the heart of downtown Mt. Dora. The staff was so kind and helpful in me deciding what to try.
