Quick, cheap but not great

Ordered the bgan breakfast.. Menu doesn't specify you have to chose one of the 4 items on the vegan list we thought you would get all.
We chose weiner sausage.. You get two sausages, 2 slices of bread and some salad. Not very impressive

I guess if you were vegetarian it would be better because you have the option of adding eggs and cheese to your breakfast.

Would be nice if they got some tofu eggs going on for us vegans

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Boring food not much vegan option

Cheap and quick

If you're in a hurry, you can get a big portion of cheap food here. That's the only reason why I'd come here. It's almost always edible (although once I had the worst falafel of my life here, literally dry like sawdust) and they always have seats available. However, if you're already near the main square, there are so many other options available (like Krowarzywa) that nowadays I avoid this place.

Pros: Cheap, Big portions

Cons: Not very good

Don't go for the salad

Very disappointed. I ordered a salad with humus. Every ingredients were good but; A tiny spoon of humus. Some (suppose to be) soft bread absolutly crispy. A LOT of green salad -it was 85% of the plate. A bit of tomatoes, some black olives. And damn. So much, too much oil! And that's it. At the end of the meal, i went To eat To an other place. I was still hungry.
But the food from other people looks better. So maybe try something else than the salad.

Kitchen needs a better cook!

Ordered vegan burger, got half burned bread with knife removals of the totally coaled parts. The inside of the burger looked even worse: sampled veg and tons of sauce. My wife ordered indian dish that has no similarity to indian flavors & scents... all in all I appreciate there’s another vegan option around town, But come on!! Give the food some respect!!!

Basic cafe

My friend ordered the eggs and vegetable sausage and when we went up to the counter to collect it there weren’t any eggs, and were told it didn’t work that way, it was eggs or vege sausages! Very strange that we couldn’t order and pay for both. The two items I ordered from the menu on the counter weren’t available, so I didn’t eat as there weren’t any vegan options available. Very basic service and it appears a very basic menu. Staff were friendly, but pretty unhelpful. Food quality so-so, decor great and great quality coffee and tea.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan & GF, Great decor

Cons: Nothing I ordered was available , Staff weren’t very helpful

Drink Stop

A great place to pop into after a long walk on a hot day and before/after visiting the Jozef Mehoffer House (right next door). I had a orange & grapefruit juice and my dad had a soy milk coffee. All was amazing- great drink stop!

Cheap and quick, but good only for a moment

It's probably best place if you need to eat something and have not much money to spend in Krakow.
Major con is that there's not much diversity in meals, almost every daily and seasonal dish taste the same.

Pros: handful of vegan options, quick served, really cheap

Cons: boring taste after some time

Cheap place with big portions

The place is nice and there are a lot of cheap and good options. We had vegetables with curry sauce and a lentil burger, both were delicious. But for breakfast I asked a vegan option and they put butter in my plate, and when I asked If the butter was vegan, she said It wasn't. So you need to be careful when you eat here.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Stuff isn't friendly, The place isn't too careful with vegan people.

Decent food for the price you pay.

The price to food ratio for this place is nice, I ordered the Vege Burger as I wanted something light and quick. They do have an English menu with items clearly labelled that are suitable for Vegans.

It has a fast turnaround of customers as the food is ready so quick so if you're in a rush this is the place to be. Equally it has a comfortable vibe for you to just sit and relax. The only confusion for me was the orders aren't numbered and because you collect your food from the counter after taking a seat it can get confusing. Two other customers ordered the same burger as me and I got up twice for the wrong order! Not a deal breaker, but just a heads up!

Big plate of mixed veg stuff

Dish of the day was a mild veg curry, served with buckwheat, salad and sauerkraut. Unusual mix but very good, also generous portions. Many other attractive options.

Cheap and quick

I used to be a huge fan of this place. It's located in the city centre so it's convenient for students to drop in here for lunch. Unfortunately, in the past year or two my opinion of this bar has dropped significantly.
As someone mentioned before, Green Way seems more like a cantine than a restaurant. A huge pro is that the portions are big and the dishes are quite cheap. There's a lot of sitting place available. If you're dropping in for lunch & in a hurry, food is usually served quickly so that's an upside too.
However, I feel like that in case of this place you get what you pay for-- or even less. I understand that everyone has worse day, but everytime I visited this place the staff wasn't too friendly, sometimes I didn't even get a simple 'Hello' when I ordered. When you order curry or other stew-like dishes they're served straight out of huge pots, not even completely reheated. Several times I got curry that was cold. The food doesn't feel fresh at all.
I understand that the very idea of Green Way is a cantine-like, cheap and quick place, but I feel like this only worked back when there weren't too many veg*an places in Cracow. Nowadays if you're looking for a cheap vegan bite you may as well go somewhere like Krowarzywa, where you'll be served fresher food for pretty much the same price as in Green Way. And if you're looking for good and fresh vegetarian pierogi/dumplings or other traditional dishes, well... you may find more luck in a restaurant that serves meat too.

Pros: low prices, big portions, good location

Cons: unfriendly staff, food isn't fresh

Meh. ...

More like a canteen than a restaurant. Food is dished up although there does seem to be plenty of it. All the dishes are up on the wall but they are written in polish (naturally) however there is an English menu on the counter. You order and they shout out the name of the dish and your collect it. If you don't speak polish it can be a bit confusing. I had the veggie burger which was very tasty and the endless succession of dishes put on the counter looked very nice. And very filling. I also had a cafe latte which wasn't great - a cup of lukewarm foam. So give the coffee a miss if you visit. All in all though I would probably go back and try some of the other stuff.

Pros: inexpensive, huge portions

Cons: staff aren't that friendly , confusing if you can't speak polish

You don't have smaller coins than 5zł????

I used to be a regular customer here.

You could probably experience better service in a 1980's milk-bar than you can expect at Greenday -- at least the poor women at the milk-bar are not snobs!

The Krupnicza street area is in need of a new Vege restaurant which is cheap, friendly, and actually has fresh food. Pod Norenami is a nearby restaurant which I would recommend to all -- however it's a bit more expensive (15-25zł.

Pros: cheapest place for students, generous portions

Cons: unfriendly staff, rehashed (tasteless) food, better options

Very new, modern and tidy restaurant. The staff is friendly and the prices are great!! I had the hummus breakfast with a fresh mixed juice and tea. It all tasted very good. And they do have a big variety of meals.

Pros: Great prices

Good

Good food, fastly served, big portions, vast menu- both vegan&vegetarian options, good prices. I can reccomend a vegan burger (9zl)
Location is also perfect.
Remember that it is more like a bar not a sophisticated restaurant.
Will visit another day.

Pros: location, fast and yummy food, prices & portions

Nutritious food, super fast

Ate a very good, quick dinner here. I ate the Bengali curry with buckwheat which came on a really large plate with a heap of shredded carrot, red cabbage/beetroot and cabbage salad. My partner had the pierogi (Polish dumplings) filled with courgette and mushroom; they were baked, tasted delicious, but unfortunately didn't come with any salads, although you do get 8 of them.

Would definitely recommend for healthy, safe, quick veggie food. It also caters for vegans and gluten free.

It feels a bit over decorated, very fancy wallpaper, fresh turquoise colours and bright whites.

Pros: Excellent large plate of curry, Healthy options, Served quickly

Cons: Over done decor, No salads with the pierogi
