Hands down the best vegetarian/vegan food in Mt Dora - Edit
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!

Fabulous Vegan Restaurant - Edit
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! - Edit
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. 😉

A Vegan Gem in Mount Dora Center - Edit
Home made everything, tasty and healthy.
Read moreI’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 - Edit
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.

Super friendly and great food! - Edit
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.
