Fast, good, healthy - Edit
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.

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 - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Lovely place, Well situated
Cons: Common food
Eight-TheHealthLounge
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.

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 - Edit
Lots of food variety, and fully vegan, so always a plus.
Read morePlenty 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!

Plant based, not vegan - Edit
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.
Read morePros: 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.
Read moreAnd 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

Central coffe in Lisbon - Edit
A place with lots of vegan options.
Read moreThe 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.

Gorgeous food, gorgeous space - Edit
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! - Edit
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).

Too hipster-healthy - Edit
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.
