Fast, good, healthy

Excellent selection of shots, juices, smoothies, bowls, toast, tacos and burgers. I had the tempeh burger. Not my all time fav but a solid meal. Great drinks and smoothies. Fast service. Nice staff.

Pros: All vegan, fast

Cons: Were out of a few things

So glad you loved it MaryaVeg. Thank you so much for the kind review and, of course, sorry for not being able to serve everything in the menu - the price to pay for serving everything fresh and organic, some times mother nature doesn't collaborate :)

Nice place, well located but common food

We had three different tacos and three different bowls. Nothing was bad but nothing was good neither. The ingredients are good but there are no spices or herbs to pimp they up and make you feel that you are in a restaurant and not at home... The deserts were nothing special either.

Pros: Lovely place, Well situated

Cons: Common food

Not a very positive review, but we thank you the sincerity, Geraldine - reviews like yours keep us pushing further and further, everyday. We're obviously sad for not being able to serve a food closer to your liking, but do hope you come again for a second much better food experience.

Very tasty salads

Tried the tempeh burger - was okay, but a bit too small. But the black bean salad was very delicious! Super relaxed atmosphere and extraordinary teas.

Pretty nice place

Lots of food variety, and fully vegan, so always a plus.

Plenty of seating inside, upstairs and outside. Staff are friendly!

The maca latte was pretty revolting tbh, and there was so much gritty powder in every mouthful, and the whole last inch of drink. It's a mock latte as they don't serve coffee here. Desserts looked okay but not amazing so didn't try.

Tacos were in a pancake like shell and pretty tasty. Asian wonder bowl was fresh with a simple sauce, nothing crazy but good nonetheless.

Overall it was nice but I'm not sure I'd return as it just wasn't something wow worthy.

Pros: Lots of variety, Healthy

Cons: Gritty 'latte', no coffee served here, Food a bit plain

Eight-TheHealthLounge

Thank you for the review tilde123. It makes us sad to understand that you weren't amazed by the experience- the maca is a bit of an acquired taste, specially for true coffee lovers - but hope that you do decide to come back for a second much more fulfilling round!

A little bland

There is a lot to choose from and its all healthy. My asian salad was a bit bland, but the immune booster shot was really good!

Pros: Many options with protein

Cons: Not so flavorful

Eight-TheHealthLounge

Very nice pictures, Halat!
We're sorry to hear that our Asian Salad lacked flavour - it's supposed to pack a lot of it! Hope you give it a second chance and this time feel free to ask extra dressing if that suits your taste better :)

Awesome place for a snack

Cool place to hide from the heat, have a refreshing smoothie or a nice toast and carry on with the sightseeing. The staff is super friendly. The salads are fresh and nutritious. Check it out if you are in the area.

Pros: Good location, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Limited selection, Not your place if you are really hungry

Such friendly words! thank you so much for the kindness of your review, and for the cool pic as well. And by the way, next time, if you find the salad to be small for your appetite, just ask our staff for a refill!

Plant based, not vegan

They offer a good choice of plant based dishes, but remember that the restaurant is not vegan, since they promote the use of animal based products, like wool.

Pros: Good choice of juices and smoothies, Helpful staff

Cons: A bit high-priced , They promote the use of animal based products

Eight-TheHealthLounge

Thank you for the review Stefi.
And yes, there's no secret there, our lifestyle principles are not 100% aligned with veganism: our dishes are indeed vegan, but our store does have wool based products. Cheers

Great healthy options

I visited multiple times during my Lisbon trip and tried many different menu items. My favorites were the Mexican bowl (super light and fresh) and the toast with vegan sun dried tomato cheese. I also tried a smoothie bowl and the brownie which were good as well

Pros: Healthy vegan options, Expansive menu, Delicious

Central coffe in Lisbon

A place with lots of vegan options.
The juices are very good but the food sometimes seems to lack taste.
The place has a very nice look and feel, with an alternative look and the staff is friendly.
Also a bit pricey.

Pros: Juices, The interior

Cons: Price

Yummy & Filling

Wow yummy, I ate the Super Bowl & it was huge. It was beautifully laid out on the plate, topped with a flower. I also had an Emerald Dream smoothie for dessert which came in a mason jar.

Worth the money yummy yum yum

Besides the lovely staff they also sell many bamboo & macramé items with plenty of seating upstairs, where the toilet is 😉

Pros: Value for money, No straws woohoo

Gorgeous food, gorgeous space

We visited twice during our stay in Lisbon— breakfast and lunch. We loved the toasted sandwiches (Tundra, Forest, Avocado toast). We tried several juices — the apple carrot and the pink lemonade were our favourites. The turmeric latte was fab, too. We sat upstairs with a great view of the nearby square and city bustle. Downstairs— we enjoyed the provided artsy magazines and music to chill out to. Loved the decor and earthy vibe and plants throughout. Highly recommended.

Perfect if you’re looking for fruit bowls, smoothies, and various veg on toast!

We went twice in one day because the avo toast and Backyard Super Toast (with tofu scramble) were so good. Plus, we really enjoyed the Black Diamond smoothie (activated charcoal, coconut milk, banana, and blueberries).

Fresh, beautiful looking food made with care (and fairly priced) in a casual, rustic industrial, two-story building in the super convenient city center.

Pros: Vegan, Clean, Tasty

Too hipster-healthy

Warning: they don't have real coffee, just really healthy coffee 'alternatives' with ridiculous ingredients like curcuma. Don't even taste nice if you let go of the hope that it will taste like coffee.

There is a wide range of unhealthy ingredients/drinks/dishes Eight doesn't serve and "real coffee" is indeed one of them?Thanks for the visit K Lala!
