Delicious and wide mix of foods. - Edit
Cute cafe in the back of a health food store that has a wide range of foods. Russian and Guatemalan in the same place is a great combo I didn't know I needed in my life.
Read moreThe pupusas were top notch and the coffee was solid. We also stockpiled on some specialty vegan stuff in the store.
Pros: Wide range within the menu, Attached to health food store, Beautiful seating area.

Lavka, Guatemala City - Edit
Wow, what a pearl in the middle of the big city!
Read moreLavka offers so many DELICIOUS vegan, healthy options - from Asian food, to American food, to local options and everything is made with such passion, precision and love you can feel in every bite!
I was there 3 times, each time I ordered something different as the menu is so varied and the food is so good that I wanted to order everything to try!
The Sushi - is just amazing, I tried both rolls and loved them both. They go so well with the salad served on top of them, addicting!
I also tried the Pulled "Pork" sandwich that was just delicious made with Ostra Rey mushrooms and served with fries on the side and a special home-made ketchup.
The BLT sandwich that is made of Temphe - loved the taste and the texture.
The Philly Burger made with mushrooms and cheese was to die for.
The owner, Olga, is so nice and sweet and she puts her whole heart into this business for the costumers to have the best culinary experiance there is.
They also have Vegan-Gluten free desserts that are just AMAZING - creamy delicious cheescake, a superb chocolate cake - so good you wouldnt believe these cakes are vegan.
They also offer Cookies, Brownies and so much more for everyone to enjoy - Vegans, Vegetarians and None-Vegans at once!
Its not just a business - its a passion, its an experiance, its compassion preformed in its best culinary way and it suits E V E R Y O N E to enjoy.
Do yourselves a favor - DONT miss out on this place when you are in Guatemala city. Believe me - you wont regret it!

Nice food, small portions - Edit
Hubby and I were travelling in Guatemala for a couple of weeks. We went to Lavka for lunch one day. The food was delicious, however the portions were tiny. For the price, we were expecting to feel satisfied with our mains. We were left hungry.

Good spot in the city - Edit
This space offered many vegan options in an attempt to cater to different food interests (Asian, American, Guatemalan) I personality enjoyed their ramen the most. I appreciated the fresh food and variety in their menu.

No es la primera vez que vengo y siempre es perfecto todo. El ambiente del lugar es muy agradable, tiene pequeño jardín con varias planas, música relajante. Atención al 100%, todos muy atentos y listos para ayudar con cualquier cosa. La comida existía. Hoy probé su nuevo plato, arepa reina y es delicioso, todo lo que he probado hasta ahora es existió, incluyendo pastelería. Seguro que voy a volver otra vez 😋

Always a treat to find an all vegan restaurant - Edit
As someone who has lived in Central America for almost a decade, I’m always thrilled to support all vegan businesses (it’s not easy to survive here!)
Read moreThere was so much to choose from! I ended up going for the pupusas, which were tasty, maybe lacking a little flavor, but generally pupusas are like that. I was so full i didn’t have space for the blueberry cheesecake that looked to die for.
Id definitely come back when I return to Guatemala City!

Amazing Vegan Food! - Edit
I’d say the best bang for your buck you can get in the city, the portions are big/fair and the food is absolutely amazing, every single thing on the menu is worth trying.
Read morePros: Taste (Trying dishes with tempeh here is a must), Attention, Variety
Cons: Small place (but cozy nonetheless)

Great bowl - okay burger - Edit
You have to enter through a supermarket to get to the restaurant, and there's meat right when you walk in which wasn't the best greeting.
Read moreIt seemed like there was only one person working there which created some waiting time. She also didn't seem very knowledgeable when we asked questions about the menu (in Spanish). The bowl with tofu was super tasty, but the burger and airfried sweet potatoes were just average.
Pros: Delicious bowl, Menu looked great
Cons: Even ordering water posed an issue, Burger/fries were just okay, A bit pricey for the portion size

A varied menu and good eats - Edit
There's a little bit of everything on the menu, with predominantly American and Asian influences. With lots to choose from, it is worth a return visit. We ordered the hot dog in a charcoal bun and a burger. Both were quite flavorful. The food took quite a long time to come out, so perhaps don't go too hungry!

Fresh and Healthy! - Edit
I'm so glad I found this hidden gem. The fix was prepared fresh and hot, and used primo ingredients. The rice was cooked light and fluffy and Everton was seasoned very well. This was a great place to eat!

Relajante y sabroso - Edit
Restaurante acogedor con comida sabrosa y porciones generosas. Está al fondo de un pequeño mercado, no se entra por la fachada exterior.
Read moreLa ensalada Zen gigante y muy sabrosa; la hamburguesa Laika sabrosa, pero el pan mejorable. El zumo un tanto diluido, y la galleta rica.
Ojo en el 2021 habrá una nueva carta. Llevan 2 años y planean abrir en Antigua...... me apunto!!
Pros: Sabrosura y cantidad

Great vegan food! - Edit
My husband and I had this small garden restaurant to ourselves for lunch. We ordered the “pulled pork” sandwich made from shredded mushrooms and the fettuccine with sriracha glazed tempeh and a cashew cream sauce. Both were excellent! I look forward to returning and trying more dishes.
