Five stars if it was fully vegan - Edit
We had the doner, the dumplings (Geröstete Knödel, which I did not see in their online menu); and the Topfentorte as dessert.
Everything was delicious. Special mention to the dumplings.
The staff was friendly, and the place had a nice vibe too.
We found out that they offer cow's milk as an option for the coffee. So, unfortunately, the cafe is not 100% vegan.
What a bummer! How difficult is not to serve cow's milk for coffee, when all your eating/dessert menu is vegan?
Hopefully they'll reconsider. :)
Pros: yummy food, friendly staff, nice vibe
Cons: not all vegan

Get the tofu grilled sandwich - Edit
I love the Harvest I've eaten here a couple of times - I got the tofu grilled sandwich a number of times and loved it really tasty, the lentil dahl is a good dish as well.
I'd like to point out how cute this little restaurant is, there's such a homely feeling to the place the layout is fabulous really nice seating. During the summer they have outdoor seating which for me is a plus.
Pros: Cute Seating/Layout, Outdoor seating, Friendly staff
Cons: Pricey

great brunch! - Edit
I went to the brunch on sunday at 1 o‘clock and every table was taken. So, if you want to go there for brunch, call in advance for reservation. The food was great! I nearly tried everything and everything was delicious. I loved it so much that I even ate to much and got a little belly ache :D. In the first place I thought that 16,60€ for brunch (without even one drink) is quite expensive but it was totally worth it! :)

Buffet and best soup ever - Edit
There were many things in the buffet, lots of tofu etc. On that day, they had chestnut soup and it was really delicious and creamy. We took hummus for take-away, it was good in the beginning but the more we ate, the more salty it was. Tho it depends on each persons taste.
Price was a bith higher and portions of dishes on the menu were too small - definetely not enough to make you full. Another disadvantage is that you can take only one plate or bowl. If you want to eat more, you would have to pay for buffet again.

Fantastic with a great brunch - Edit
We came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and were really surprised with the variety and quality of all the dishes on offer. Options range from breakfast foods (bread with various spreads, muesli, yogurt etc...) to several international savory dishes (samosas, rice, spinach, hummus, soup etc...).
It costs around €16 per person, so not the cheapest option, but Vienna isn't the cheapest city, and you can eat as much as you like.
The atmosphere was great and the staff are very friendly, helpful, and speak perfect English.
Would definitely come again if I found myself in Vienna again.
Pros: Delicious food, Lovely staff, Great atmosphere

Amazing food! - Edit
This place was a short distance from our hotel & what a find! The decor was cozy & eclectic, the menu was extensive with an international influence, the server spoke fluent English & the food was friggin' AWESOME! I had lentils with smoked tofu (the tofu tasted like bacon) , salad, and hummus with bread. Yum! Prices not bad.
Pros: Decor was cozy, Menu was extensive & not too expensive, Server spoke English & was very friendly
Cons: Lighting a bit too dim

Great! - Edit
Nice cozy cafe/restaurant. Lunch buffet was delicious. A bit pricey if you just want a snack but if you are really hungry, that's a very good deal. Stuff is friendly and helpful, speaks English. They take cards but don't accept Visa though, so prepare cash.
Cons: Expensive

Good option if you're in the area - Edit
Harvest Cafe Bistrot offers a homey cafe atmosphere and tasty eats, with a focus on regional comfort food. There were several appealing vegan options, including snacks, meals, and desserts.
I only wish they offered fresh-squeezed juices.
Service was warm and helpful.

brunch - Edit
You should be hungry if you go to the brunch, it costs 16.60 euro. I got a green tea which was not included, so I ended up paying north of 20 euro for a small plate of food and a bowl of fruit/vegan yogurt along with the tea. I also perceived the food (as is usually the case in buffet layouts, even vegan ones) to be not particularly healthy or tasty. That said, it's a vegan buffet and is probably a bargain if you're really hungry.

The buffet! - Edit
We had the weekend brunch buffet. Lots of delicious choices - vegan buffets are always a treat! I wasn't sure what I was eating, some of the time, but it was great knowing I didn't need to check ingredients, and everything was delicious. Make sure you book, as it's VERY popular!
Pros: Good range of dishes, Nice local wine, Pretty decor
Cons: Very busy, so a tad cramped and rushed.

Divine Food - Edit
Very Hippy Relaxed Vibe. Food was delicious!! We tried hummus with homemade bread, goulash, lentil soup, and cheese burger as well as the tiramisu, banana cake and carrot cake. The Tiramisu is the best I've ever had. I was with two omnivores and they loved the food!!
Pros: Goulash, Cheeseburger, Tiramisu
Cons: Only one waitress so be prepared to wait, I didn't really like the carrot cake but I thi

super cozy with comfy food - Edit
Alternative interior mixed with good music and laid back atmosphere. On weekdays you can choose from the buffet (pay per plate / bowl) or from the limited menu. The food was good and well seasoned. Service was friendly.

So good - Edit
I went there for brunch on a Saturday, and I have to admit it was absolutely amazing ! For 17€, you have access to an all you can eat buffet of a selection of sweet and savory food, which I think is pretty good value. This is the kind of place you can go to with a meat eater, as they are bound to find something they will like out of all the options. The atmosphere is also pretty cozy I side, which is a plus. Would definitely recommend !

eat for hours without time limit - Edit
Visited Vienna for the second time and my friend reserved for the vegan brunch. As stated before, you can eat for hours without time limit! I loved trying everything! Sweet, sour, warm, cold.
Chai latté with soymilk was also great.
Staff was friendly as well.
Pros: Eat without timelimit, Alot of options
Cons: Small tables but not a real problem

worth trying! - Edit
I had a Punschcake which was amazing. It was baked by Nomnom bakery. The brunch looked very tasty but I was not hungry enough to try. The price for the brunch is 16,80 euros which is not cheap.
The place itself is very comfy and nice to sit down.
Pros: good variation for brunch
Cons: a bit expensive

Vegan brunch, yay! - Edit
This cute vegan find was a great experience - helpful service and delicious food. The weekend all vegan brunch was fantastic and had so many options to choose from (sweet and savoury). Love it is also dog friendly. Good location near the city centre!
Pros: Tasty food (and generous amounts), Dog friendly, Location and staff

Meh - Edit
No problem with the waiters and waitresses, however the food was quite unmemorable: some vegetable ghee with I don't remember what as a starter, a very standard veg stir-fry as a main course, and a pannacotta that could have been made by a 15-year-old... much like the rest of my food. All in all, ok but expensive for what you get. At least they don't call themselves a restaurant.

Staff is dog-friendly but not human-friendly - Edit
The food (Brunch) was good, even though a bit overpriced vor Vienna standards.
BUT: It's only for people who REALLY REALLY REALLY love dogs. If you're afraid of them, or allergic, or if you just prefer food without dog hair, you should definitely avoid harvest. You should also avoid it if you don't like being yelled at by waitresses.
When we were there, the waitress' dog was running around everywhere – at the buffet, between our legs, ... When we asked the waitress about it, she only said "This is a dog-friendly place" (it didn't say so anywhere – like they do at the cat café, for example). Since we already had our food at the time, we decided to leave it at that and not let it ruin our brunch. When the dog started prowling around our legs the next time, we just quietly said "Go away" – and suddenly the waitress was standing next to us, yelling at us and calling us "crazy".
We tried to talk to her boss later, before leaving, and told her that the waitress' tone was absolutely inappropriate and that it also might be a good idea to just put a sign up somewhere (they have lots of stuff written all over the windows anyway) – that way potential customers would know what to expect, and Harvest would get the dog-loving customers they want and not people who might be afraid of or allergic to dogs. The boss didn't seem to understand our points.
Pros: Food is alright
Cons: Overpriced, Dog running around everywhere, leaving its hair ev, Waitress extremely unfriendly, yelling at customer
