Delicious vegan food

We had delicious vegan Turkish food here. The mixed grill and stuffed zucchini were really great. Everything tasted really natural and not overly salty or fatty. The owner recommended us things that were not on the menu and even made Turkish tea especially for us, as his only guests.

Pros: Delicious dishes, Great service

Delicious food and the best cappuccino in town

It is funny that I have discovered this place just by accident. But I was craving for a cappuccino and I ordered one with oat milk and it tasted really good. Since the cappuccino was delicious I decided to try the banana bread but also different delicious home made dishes like e.g. the lasagna based on lentils with delicious tomato sauce and lots of vegetables.
The food is fresh and taste really delicious. Besides the good food the ambiance of the place is stylish and inviting with lots of green plants. And last but not least the friendly owner (who has a lot of positive energy) and his wife are very passionate in what they do.

Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, nice vibe

The owner was so nice and funny.
Big recommendation!

Hi, my dearest guests from Germany.
It has to be you, cause i know what you ate and because in the 'Pros" you used the term 'ist' ;)

I know today is your last day. You said for 3 days you will be here. And I recall you don't stay far from our store. I gave you a card for 3 drinks. Although I said we're closed tomorrow on Monday, we will be there from 13:00 on, making our orders for delivery. If you're still here and passing by, card or not, just drop by and take your drinks for on the way.
If we don't see you again, then have a save journey back and hopefully we will see you again in the future.
Sincerely, HFaH

A MUST!

One of my favourite places in Rotterdam! Its has such a cosy atmosphere and the owners are lovely. I've tried both sweet and salty foods and was never disappointed!
As a foodie I have to warn you: the "save the ocean burger" is great, their carrot cake and "cake bars" are perfectly moist and the Oreo muffins are to die for. I would literally cross town just to eat one! Also their coffee is the best in rotterdam. No joke, there's no comparison.

If you're looking for sustainable clothing, art or objects, they also sell lots of cool items. I really recommend this place for anyone who wants to be healthy or simply eat something yummy. Either way you'll get both😄

Pros: Healthy, colourful and delicious food, Cozy inside with a great playlist

Cons: They only have 1 store.. I'm hoping for more!

Urban jungle goodness

Such a nice place on so many levels. The place has a lot of different corners/seatings which makes it unique and playful, in a beautiful ‘urban jungle meets industrial’ interior. The owner has such a vibrant positive energy and is clearly very passionate about his work. He runs it together with his wife and one employee - quite impressive. I wanted a small bite to eat and was recommended the köfte, which was a great choice. Came there just before closing hours and got offered a piece of carrot cake on the house as well. The cream was perfectly smooth and the cake wasn’t too sweet, just the way I like it. Will definitely come back here to try more stuff.

Pros: 100% plant-based, delicious, beautiful interior, good atmosphere, friendly staff

Cons: none really

Best vegan café in town!

My boyfriend and I came here for pancakes and a hot chocolate and fell in love with the chill vibe and chic interior, the mouthwatering food and drinks (best hot chocolate we ever drank, we ordered two rounds) and most of all the super hospitable and kind owner! He is a genuinely caring guy and you can tell that he is super passionate about giving guests a great experience 👌🏽 we came back and will continue coming here for sure!

Pros: Food, interior, staff..basically everything!

Cons: There are no cons here 🙌🏽

Amazing and delicious!

Amazing place! The owner is incredibly hospitable and we really liked the atmosphere. We ordered pizza topped with veggies and a burger and they were delicious. Later on we tried some cakes for dessert (chunky monkey and the other one that I forgot) and it was amazing. I would drive all the way from Almere just for the cakes as it is really hard to find such good vegan desserts😄Would definitely come back and try everything else.

It’s because you said you said Almere, thats why I know who this is:). Happy Birthday again.
The other cake was the SnowFlake. Chocolate bottom layer, creamy almond/coconut cream 2nd later, topped with dried raspberry and almonds ; ).
And well, Netherlands is not so big. ALmere is just around the corner : ). See you soon...

Ben net voor sluitingstijd hier binnen gekomen. Helaas geen tijd voor een Healthy maaltijd. Maar de espresso was meer dan goed genoeg om terug te komen. Echt uitmuntend. En zo is de interieur hier ook. Uitstekend.

Echt een fijne plek om werk en lunch te combineren. Er hangt een heel fijn sfeertje en het eten was heerlijk. Ook leuk om rond te snuffelen tussen alle "goods" die ze verkopen. Dit was precies te plek die ik nodig had op een relaxte zondagmiddag!!

Mindblowing tasty

Honestly, this store be found on each corner in every city and country. The food is made with so much love and passion. All food is vegan, but a true diversity of tastyness. Now each week I’m treating myself to visit this place. It is also a very nice place to meet with friends and family. 5 stars for the service, the fair price and the great quality! It’s worth to visite the place here, because you will feel like it’s you’re home.

I loved this place / Mi ŝategis tiun ejon / J'ai adoré cet endroit /

(in Esperanto and French below)

[en]
I spent such a pleasant time in this restaurant because of: the high quality of the food (taste and health), the friendly behaviour of the staff. We had a lot of enriching exchanges. I tasted the lasagnas, the burger and a lot of sweet pastries and warm drinks. I loved them all ! This place became my comfortable room during my whole stay in Rotterdam. I will go back there absolutely when I visit Rotterdam again.

[eo]
Mi pasigis tre agrablajn momentojn en tiu restoracio pro : la altkvalito de la manĝo (guste kaj sane), la amika konduto de la deĵorantoj. Ni havis multajn riĉigajn interŝanĝojn. Mi gustumis la lazanjojn, la burgeron kaj multajn kukojn kaj varmajn trinkaĵojn. Mi ŝategis ĉion ! Tiu ejo fariĝis mia komfortigejo dum mia restado en Roterdamo. Mi nepre reiros tien kiam mi denove vizitos Roterdamon.

[fr]
J'ai passé des moments très agréables dans ce restaurant grâce à : la haute qualité de la nourriture (goût et santé), le comportement amical du personnel. Nous avons eu des échanges très enrichissants. J'ai goûté les lasagnes, le burger, de nombreuses pâtisseries et boissons chaudes. J'ai tout adoré ! Cet endroit a été mon repaire ressourçant pendant tout mon séjour à Rotterdam. J'y retournerai absolument quand je serai à nouveau de passage à Rotterdam.

Pros: Healthy, Tasty, Friendly, Nice and large place, Correct prices

Indeed we did a little bit of enriching exchanges. And after you went I did also a little bit of research on the net. Finding out that 112 years ago this new language was born by a Polish linguist. A language that was easy to learn, a politically neutral language to promote international communication. Having this world congress just a few doors beside us, was a positive surprise.
Having you all, from all different countries together inside, sitting at one big table, seeing that it fraternizes people, without any form of nationalism, was an honor.
Thanks for your visit. And like the name ‘Esperanto’ means: ‘Someone who hopes for’, I hope to see you all back here once again.
Good journey to you all.

Nochmals herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem Jubiläum und es war eine Ehre, Sie beide kennenzulernen.
Geschichten unserer Gäste sind immer schön zu hören, auch wenn sie manchmal traurig sind. Es öffnet unsere Augen. Ändern Sie die Denkweise, zeigt die anderen Wege, lässt dich anders denken.
Wenn ich an das zurückdenke, was du gesagt hast, was ich hier schreibe, verstehe ich die kluge Idee, deine Geschichten in deinen Büchern zu erzählen.

Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns wieder. Und wer weiß, wenn Sie das nächste Mal hier sind (wenn es eine englische Version gibt), lese ich vielleicht auch Max & Fine / Max & Fiona.

Excellent!

We had lunch at this place and ordered the flatbread with spinach, vegan feta and mushrooms en a plate with rice, köfte, dönner, grilled veggies and salad. The food was excellent. I like that this place has a lot of savory as well as sweet dishes, does Turkish classics made vegan and everything is freshly made. Also, the owner is a very friendly guy who is always in for a chat. Atmosphere is very relax; a good place to calm down on a Sunday afternoon. Very much recommended.

Feels like visiting family, friends or welcoming neighbours

This was a great experience, meeting the owner(s)!
So much open-ness, a fun and super accesible/easy going vibe.
The menu is more a guideline than a strict list of what you can choose from.
This also makes you feel at home.
The lunchroom looks great (it feels like a livingroom), the food taste good, is healthy and it is filling. It is a huge plus that they serve a lot of organic certified ingredients.
We haven't tasted the coffee yet, so we will come back, because it was promoted to be very good ;)
