Amazing Burger, friendly people run this place - Edit
We had an amazing Heura Burger and the best local beer. I think it was a lager. Highly recommend. We felt very welcomed by the people who run this place.

We were so happy that we got here - Edit
We had Happy Burger and Happy Nuggets with some soft drinks. All great and tasty.

Ok food - friendly staff - Edit
I love that there is a fully vegan place in El Cotillo. The staff is very friendly. I chose the happy nuggets - they came with some fries (unfortunately very muddy). The nuggets we're ok but not great.

Bueno bonito barato - Edit
Te lo preparan rápido, la mujer que me sirvió era encantadora, y la comida era deliciosa! Tienen mucha variedad y las cantidades son generosas. El local es pequeño pero acogedor, lástima que no tiene vistas y pasa mucho viento en la terraza.

Fab chilled cafe delicious food - Edit
If you’re in Corralejo it's worth a 25 min cab trip to a El Cotillo for the Happy Cactus and the glorious close by sandy beach!
Read moreThis 100% vegan spot is a bright little haven just off the harbour. The cafe is small but airy, dotted with greenery and full of natural light. There are tables outside but be aware it’s on a main (quiet) road. Staff are lovely.
We tried The Happy Burger and it lives up to the name—juicy, satisfying, and served with proper crunchy fries and homemade sauces.
Drinks-wise, there’s a rotating list of fresh juices and smoothies. The papaya-mango smoothie was lovely, and the beetroot-orange was punchy and refreshing.
The important bit - the warm brownie with ice cream is kind of a rite of passage here. Gooey, rich, and big enough for two (but you won’t want to share)!

Großartig! - Edit
Die Beschreibung der Hauptspeisen auf der Karte klang für uns zuerst etwas „basic“, aber die Gerichte (wir haben Tofu und Seitan gegessen) waren ganz toll gewürzt und angerichtet, es gab dazu sehr leckere Dips und auch der Salat und die Pommes waren wirklich lecker. Vom Essen waren wir begeistert. Die Lage an der Straße ist nicht ganz so schön, aber das Restaurant selbst ist sehr nett eingerichtet. Auch der Service war toll.

Love this place! - Edit
I was soooooo excited to accidently come across this place! I had the lentil soup with focaccia - it was unbelievably good! I had to get the rest of the family who aren't vegan to try a bit and they were amazed. I also then treated myself to the warm brownie with coconut ice cream. Good value and tasty food, a little haven in a place with fewer vegan options than I'm used to.

Pros: Multiple options and nice staff, Huge portion sizes, Array of smoothies and protein smoothies
Cons: Weird you can't buy chips on their own?

Sehr freundliches Personal - Edit
Das Restaurant bietet Sitzplätze draußen im Schatten sowie im Innenbereich.
Read moreDas Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, auch was glutenfreie Ernährung betrifft.
Säfte und Smoothies sind frisch und sehr lecker, der Preis liegt bei jeweils 6 Euro.
Ich habe mich für einen Rote Bete- und Orangensaft entschieden, da dieser durch das enthaltene Vitamin C die Aufnahme von bsp. Zink und Eisen fördern kann.
Das Essen hat gut geschmeckt, teilweise ist es fettig.
Wir waren zweimal in dem Restaurant essen und haben auch Essen zum mitnehmen bestellt.
Für zwei Personen haben wir uns eine Vorspeise (Tacco mit veganem Käse) so wie je ein Hauptgericht bestellt.
Die Portionen sind ausreichend groß, wir waren satt und zufrieden.  #Veganuary
