Lovely fully vegan, zero-waste café in Tulum. - Edit
The food is delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care and intention.
Read moreWhat really stands out is their strong zero-waste philosophy — it’s not just a concept, but something you can feel in every detail. This place is about conscious choices, respect for animals, and sustainability.
We also took time to read their story, which is very inspiring. You can tell this is a values-driven project, not just a café.
Highly recommended for vegans and anyone who cares about ethical, sustainable living. We will definitely be back 🌱🐾

Owner is awful - Edit
We stopped here to eat breakfast and have coffee. Coffee was really important to me so I asked before even sitting down if they had coffee and cream. They confirmed they did.
Read moreAn hour later after being served a room temp liquid that was clearly not coffee and was given sweetened coconut creamer and told it was “cream.”
The owner then did one of the rudest things I’ve ever seen. When I asked what the “cream” was he made me try to guess. When I guessed “condensed milk” he started telling everyone in the restaurant how stupid I was for not knowing what coconut cream was.
Just terrible people.
Pros: Location was near us , Looks okay from the street , Menu looked okay
Cons: Owner is awful, Service is bad and slow, Food is beyond horrible

This review seems to come from someone who is not vegan and expected traditional dairy products.
Read moreIn a vegan, zero-waste café, “cream” will of course be plant-based. That is the whole point.
We visited recently, felt welcomed, and loved both the food and the philosophy of the place.

Pricey but tasty burrito - Edit
Great veggie burrito, but a little pricey (maybe standard everywhere in Tulum...!) - pretty cool space but noisey next to the road.

Best food on this trip - Edit
This was definitely the best food and best service we had on this trip. We got the BLT and the Tulum Bowl. Both had a lot of flavor and were fresh. The banana bread is amazing too. Wouldn’t recommend the coffee and matcha latte but overall a good experience. cute little spot and very friendly staff

TOP TIER - Edit
Our favorite vegan restaurant in Tulum! Phenomenal experience! Fem and Thomas (the owners) are such a joy! The food and vibe were wonderful!! We parked on the street;
Read morethe shade the awning provides in the restaurant makes it cool even when it’s scorching hot outside(: Thomas offered us complimentary hibiscus lemon ginger shots which were yummy! We had the:
•watermelon and pineapple popsicles— so refreshing, natural and sweet!
•chips and guacamole— super fresh and the best guac we’ve had in Tulum!
•better than a burger— perfectly balanced flavors, texture of jackfruit is 🔥, the potatoes it comes with are really good
•brownie— PERFECT!
•banana bread— strawberry sauce takes this to another level
We just kept adding onto our order🤭 Highly recommend, will be coming back!!
Pros: Flavorful options , Kind owners, Nice, calm atmosphere

Still thinking about the “bacon” - Edit
Nice little place with good vibes offering mostly junk food. The BLT bagel was super good, as well as the jackfruit burger.
Read moreSmaller portions though and it is bit on the expensive side.

Tolle Atmosphäre - Edit
Die beiden Trucks liegen an einer viel befahrenen Straße, aber es wurde wirklich gut umgesetzt. Leckeres Essen, aber eher etwas teurer.

Tasty food, good spot to people watch - Edit
Cute spot right on the road to the beach. All vegan menu and items that are gluten free, contain nuts or soy are all clearly marked. Staff was super-friendly. I had the jackfruit burger and added the rice paper bacon, which was delish and made me want to return to try the BLT. Brownie was tasty Roo, served with strawberries.
