Cozy place with good food!

Small Café with all vegan food, freshly prepared, and lots of coffee options with different plant-based milk options! The staff is very friendly and speaks English well.
It seems a little expensive, but that might be a Brussels thing.

Absolutely amazing

This place is unique. They offer a large range of stunning breakfast dishes (eg pancakes, scrambled tofu) in a cosy place.
The place closes at 15h00. I once arrived at 14:00 hoping to get lunch; the manager apologized that there was "nothing left" from the menu... and then improvised us amazing avocado toasts😄
Besides, the fact that the food gets sold out towards the end of the day shows that they have success and that they care and avoid waste.

Pros: amazing food, friendly vibe, nice neighbourhood

Cons: Don't arrive too late

Good stuff

I had some pancakes and they were really delicious! The blue latte was also really nice. My friend had the grilled cheese and loved it. The prices are a little on the higher side for the portion size though.

Nice vegan caffe, pet friendly

We tried their weekend brunch twice and the second time was even better. Good taste, nice presentation and relaxing atmosphere. Their toasts and pancakes are really tasty, as well as the desserts😄
It's a pet friendly spot too, you can bring your dog with you :)

Breakfast all-day long!

We had a couple of their toasts (tofu omelette and beetroot hummus with vegetables), as well as the pancakes and one of the cakes.

Everything was delicious!
The menu is rather light but if you get a couple of things you will be nourished!

The staff was also welcoming, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
On top of everything, they open very early during the weekdays, perfect for breakfast (and more)!

Pros: opening times, yummy, friendly staff

Nice, cosy place and delicious waffle

I liked the place a lot, very cosy. On Sunday they offer only brunch and some desserts but is not full menu. The coffee was very nice and the food as well, specially the apple cinnamon pancakes!. I would say it lacked a bit of protein like something with tofu, tempeh or beans to be a complete meal but it was really tasty.

Pros: Atmosphere , Possible to share brunch , Variety of drinks

Cons: Brunch lacks more protein and veggies , Personnel not super smiling

Nice vegan cafe in St. Gilles, a bit expensive (mostly for drinks). Good cakes and they worth the price.

Very good and friendly

I had a delicious sandwich on a table outdoor and, despite the traffic, I spent a pleasant lunch time with my friend.
I drunk a tea and the waitress proposed me to refill it by water to not waste the tea portion. Clever, logic and very friendly.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good sandwich choices, Sunny outdoor

Cons: But on a busy street corner

High price, uninventive food and freezing cold

We were very excited to find out there was another vegan coffee place in Brussels and as usual we checked it out. The pros: cozy and relax environment, banana bread and the croissant were really good. The cons: EUR 4.50 for a micro-cup of oat milk with spirulina served lukewarm (similar prices for hot chocolate), despite being full with people the room was freezing cold and even with our coats we were not comfortable, we didn't eat it but we saw the avocado toast for EUR 9 on other tables completely overpriced. Please readjust the heating, recalibrate some of the prices of your offerings or increase your hot (hot not lukewarm!) beverage portion and we will be happy to go back.

Pros: croissant

Cons: excessive price for the offerings, super cold temperature & hot beverages lukewarm, coffee not great

Brussels style

Brussel needed a vegan place like that to be taken seriously on the vegan international stage. But all of this in the Brussel Hipster style of the neighbourhood. You will feel hom but Belgian style.
Local products, original ideas, all for comfort food and nice people !

Great food, cozy but long waiting times

The food is great and they seem to care about animal rights. Some things seem quite pricey while others do not. Might be depending on what ingredients they produce themselves.
Plan a lot of time when eating there or even going for a drink (might be totally depending on day/time of day). You can easily wait up to 30min for a drink if there are a few other people who just ordered something.

It felt really cozy to just sit there. Would be great to go there and read a book or work something (a lot of other customers did that).

Pros: Everything vegan, care about animals

Cons: waiting times

Cute little vegan cafe

Relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and a great choice of coffee and vegan cakes. We had sandwiches with homemade seitan and a curried soya mix. Very fairly priced, worth a visit.

Pros: Decent food, Relaxed atmosphere, Accommodating staff

Cons: Not central
