Tasty Bowls and Mac & Cheese

Flora Vegan Cafe shines with its mac and cheese and hearty bowls — really satisfying! The bagels, though, are more like thick bread and didn’t quite hit the mark.

Delicious, thoughtful and fun vegan food

I had the french toast and it was so delicious I especially loved the passion fruit sauce on it. It was a surprising and tasty addition. I also had the dragon fruit smoothie which I am still thinking about.

Pros: The woman who served us was super cool and helpful, There were lots of gluten free options, That dragon fruit smoothie was AMAZING

DO NOT MISS THIS SPOT!!!

The service is impeccable. The food is to die for. And the social benefits just for taking your meal here make it worth it. And Wendy is da bomb.

Pros: The menu and food quality. HOWLER MONKEY SMOOTHIE, It's in a great little spot, The service is stupendous

The most delicious vegan food

I’ve been staying at the hotel next to this place and have eaten every meal at Flora for the past three days. Every item on the menu tastes amazing. I’ve been vegan for 12 years, and it’s very hard to find places like this.

Updated from previous review on 2025-12-11

Pros: El tico, Portobello sandvich, Curry

Cons: None

Delicious vegan food! Funky decor

Great vegan restaurant with lots of delicious options. We discovered it our first night in Tamarindo and ended up going back.

I tried the Chori-pan (chorizo sandwich) & then the French toast.

Everything was so good and staff was so lovely.

Highly recommend

Pros: All vegan food , Great varied options , Right by the beach, cool stuff for sale there

Not as expected

We just went for coffee, we asked for latte we were not asked if hot or cold and we got served cold coffee. We ordered a Cheesecake that took 10 minutes to arrive and was frozen and did not taste amazing and it is $11. Not worth your money. Also for a business to call themselves a “Cafe” having two lousy dessert options, not really a good Cafe. The chair I sat down in was full of dust. The waitress did not speak much english nor spanish, this place needs to make improvements or it might not survive the competition around, which is unfortunate because I want to support local vegan places.

Not great

Honestly, this was a so disappointing after seeing the almost perfect score. And it needs to be pretty bad for me to give a completely vegan place less than 4*. Food was meh.
How does this place have so many 5 Star reviews?

Hits the spot!

I was super happy to see a vegan place within walking distance. Had the chorizo sandwich which is actually a Beyond Italian Sausage, the veggies and bread was very fresh. Also tried the mac n cheez, it was decent. Service was excellent.

Delicious bites

We are staying in Tamarindo for a week and have eaten at Flora Vegan Cafe twice. The food is excellent. The salads are fresh. The bowls are delicious. The Chori Pan was delicious as well. We also enjoyed their smoothies. The staff is friendly. It is located right across from the ocean, so easy access from the main road.

Good coffee

Located across the street from the beach, this plant based Cafe has a lot of options for drinks and some snacks. We had a cold brew with milk (they seem to only serve oat) and it was quick to order and tasty.

Pros: Easy access off the beach

Excellent!

I came here each morning of my trip for breakfast.

I tried the Portobello Sandwich, Tico Breakfast, and the Breakfast Burrito.

All very nice. I would suggest the tico breakfast above all as it seemed among the healthiest, and most unique-to-the-region of all the options. Corn tortilla > flour tortilla (the imposter) in my opinion!

You can try their lovely spicy homemade hot sauce with your food.

*cute lil vegan cafe w/so many options!*

This place is adorable- you can see the beach and there is shade and fans to escape the heat then walk across the street to the beach! I had the flora smoothie and the power salad and they were perfect light beach food. Might even come back during this trip.

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Variety of options , Open air and fans to escape the heat of CR

Perfecto

This place is beyond adorable, but more than that - you can taste the care put into the food. Everything was freshly made and served with a smile. We went for breakfast our last day in Tamarindo and wish we had gone sooner! Ordered lattes, French toast, and tico tacos. Also got salads and cookies to-go: they were perfect for a long travel day.

Pros: Fresh and tasty, Healthy, Friendly

Cons: NADA

A delicious vegan meal!

We were excited to find that there was an all vegan restaurant just a couple of blocks from our hotel and had to try it out. We started with smoothies and they were all delicious! Next we got the tofu nuggets for the kids, the yucca croquettes (so crispy, fluffy and good!!), the cauliflower tacos, and the curry bowl. We all really enjoyed our meal and came back the next day for more. So grateful to find a vegan place in Tamarindo!

Pros: Friendly service, All vegan

Made Us So Happy!

As you may well be aware it can be so comforting to, on occasion, talk with someone who feels animals shouldn't be killed for food. So, a happy bond is formed - and then she shares with me her pie recommendation.
Persimmon, guava(?), cheese cake. Mmmm
Banana bread and cookies so delicious too!
