Tasty and great service !

J'ai pris les croquettes au soja avec une petite sauce tartare et c'était délicieux ! La serveuse était aux petits soins ! Endroit soigné et chaleureux ! 🙂

Pros: Tout vegan, le rêve !

Cosy place with the most caring staff

Cute café. They have a choice of four meals - burger, salad with mini burgers, lasagna and couscous bowl. There were also some brownies and place balls during my visit.

I had the burger, as I always do😄Unfortunately it's not served with fries, only chips - seems I'm never gonna find a burger with fries on Fuerteventura, so far I only got nachos, chips or potatoes! The white bean patty definitely needs some improvement as in was quite tasteless, however the grilled aubergine, courgette and caramelised onion were just perfect.

Coffee was just average. The staff are English speaking and super nice. Don't rely much on the supplies from the shop as they stock just a few items.

Pros: Lots of seating, including outside, Staff

Cons: The shop does not stock too many things

Soul food

Eating at Happy Cactus you would think you are in Barcelone, NY or Milan.
Instead you can taste their creative vegan cuisine in this lovely island in the Atlantic.
The friendliness of the waitress is outstanding.
She's extra attentive to families with children and customers with special needs.
Don't miss the expierience.

Comida vegana y muy sabrosa

El happy cactus está situado en un lugar maravilloso de Fuerteventura. Un local muy acogedor, con terraza donde es muy agradable comer. Tienen platos diarios que elaboran con productos locales y bio. Comimos hamburguesa de tofu y boniato, estofado de judías y croquetas. Un placer comer aquí. Ah, y el personal súper amable.

Pros: Comida de calidad

A gem of a place

Visited after a long bumpy drive to watch the sun set. Cafe that doubles up as mini shop.
We had burger and Happy Salad and smoothies. Friendly service, yummy food.

Pros: 100% vegan, Pasta straws with drinks

Cons: Cash only payment option

Thank you for your review.
Only one note: our guests has the possibility to pay with card. Maybe, unfortunately, you came last week, the day after the sands storm and all around the village the connection needed to pay by card wasn't available.

Very friendly service and great food

The vegan burger was very well seasoned and stacked with grilled veggies and fresh lettuce and tomato. The vegan weap was simply filled with grilled vegs and hummus but tasted delicious. The smoothie came with pasta sraws.

Friendly with fantastic food.

Have been here many times in the past but only for smoothies and cake. Which are fantastic by the way. Their new location is great much more open to passing trade. Anyway we were on the island for Christmas and went here for Christmas Day. We had the Christmas menu which was the courses. N n it your typical Christmas food out but healthy and very tasty. The two sisters that own it are very friendly and helpful. Great food and now open until 21:00 hrs.

Pros: Friendly owners, Very healthy tasty food, Great fresh smoothies

Vegan cafe and shop

Fully vegan with an ever changing menu. The food was good if a little expensive. There is seating available inside and out and they also have a little shop selling vegan products. Well worth a visit.

Pros: All vegan , Rotating menu

Cons: A little bit expensive

Outstanding

Happy Cactus is a fantastic, cute and well organized place. The food is outstandig and it is amazing that they only have vegan and organic products. 🤩 We really appreciated the combination of a restaurant and a shop. The food was mind blowing and the staff very friendly. We are hoping to be back soon.

Pros: Amazing taste

Outstandingly fresh

We probably went there the worst day for their business- the power was out all over the town- but we had the best service and the salad, which was the only option available because they couldn't cook, was outstanding. Satisfying and so so fresh

10/10!

Cada día hay 3 platos a elegir de distintos precios, depende de los productos del día. Yo elegí una arepa de aguacate y queso vegano riquísima, el refresco estaba incluído, todo 10€.
La chica es encantadora y el local acogedor.
Está situado justo al lado de la playa del Cotillo.

Good food, cute place

I went here twice because I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the place. It is conveniently located right by the seaside in El Cotillo.

However, both times I went fairly late (once at 15:00 and once at 17:00) and the 'best' option (of two mains) was already taken, so I did not really have a choice. I did not mind, as the meals were both delicious, but my boyfriend was not too happy to be stuck with salad the second time we came.

We had dessert both times and these, too, were really nice. Good prices and portions.

Pros: Good location by the beach, Cute tables, Tasty and affordable food

Cons: Runs out of the best meal options quickly, Limited opening times

Supergott!!

Helt fantastiskt ställe. Jag provade deras burgare, som hade allt!! Allt ekologiskt och hemlagat. Man kunde även handla lite produkter över disk. Trevlig och inbjudande personal som beskrev produkterna väl. Talar bra engelska.
Deras meny ändras från dag till dag beroende på sortiment.
Också ett bra utbud - både varmrätter, enkla smårätter, samt disk med goda sötsaker.

Väl värt en omväg!

Pros: Allt är veganskt, Närodlat och ekologiskt

Cons: Ok pris , Bemötande personal , Bra sortiment
