Nice lunch place

Had a hummus toast and a falafel wrap with the added salad bowl. Both sandwiches were delicious and the salad bowl is a fantastic vegan meal in itself!

Pros: Friendly service , Great food, Nice location with outdoor seating

The bowls are also very delicious.

Desperately seeking service

Was looking forward to trying this all vegan place. The menu is decent but not a huge selection either but just right for lunch. We ordered a soup and avocado toast, and some pancakes. We also ordered coffees and our coffees were long drank before there was any sign of our food. The wait time was very unimpressive when our order was very basic. I think perhaps people that had ordered before us maybe had more extravagant orders but I think this is something they could work on streamlining as it would put me off coming here again.

Best vegan place i’ve tried in Leuven

It’s a quite small place and it was very busy when we arrived just before noon. So it was already a sign that this place is very much liked and that it will not dissapoint. We had English breakfast and spelt pancakes. All very tasty. Recommend this place!

Amazing food for the soul

The best plant based place in Leuven to have a delicious breakfast and/or lunch!
On Saturday I went here with a friend of mine and it was super busy at 1pm. We decided to come back at 2 when there was space again. The patience was worth it! The people who runs the place are lovely and the food is great! Definitely worth a visit! #Veganuary

Sehr empfehlenswert

Das Frühstück ist die Wucht. Bei keinem der Leckereien auf dem Teller gibt es etwas auszusetzen. Die Fünf Sterne sind absolut gerechtfertigt,

Lovely vegan bar!

Excellent full vegan place in Leuven!

It's a nice place, nice location and very lovely staff.

The food is all vegan, so it's nice you do not have to worry about that.

The food and lovely desserts tasted awesome.

We always have a good time there and excellent place for vegan brunch / lunch in Leuven!

Many delicious dishes

We had four dishes: the falafel wrap, the tomato soup and salad, burger, and full breakfast. All were good, and if I were to recommend one, it would be the breakfast. It's a pleasant space. Thoroughly recommend.

Life bar

Local pequeño y personal majo. La hamburguesa me gustó de sabor, pero me decepcionó un poco el pan (estaba seco y se deshacía…).

nice

we did the deal combo to get a bowl drink dessert and it was all very good. we got a falafel salad bowl, sushi buddha bowl, green and red juices, and then raw chocolate caramel slice and raw tiramisu. the only thing i’d maybe say is that the desserts were perhaps still a bit too frozen but not that bad and they were delicious! i also thought it was quite cute how they give a date with the coffee.
i would be keen to return to try their breakfast options since they sound really good! definitely a nice lunch spot though

Nice light lunch

Visit in July 2023. Sunday lunch. The small place was really packed, and then it is really full. Bit damp atmosphere inside (very rainy day) and also loud.
Nice lunch. Falafel wrap 12,50€, no-egg scrambled 13€ tofu, small salad 3€, courgette soup 6€.
Coffee 3€ and caramel chocolate slice 5,5€
---------
Was here for lunch at the end of 2019 and then again in July 2021. Nice lunch.
Had the soup, carrot toast (very 'smoked' taste) and scrambled tofu. Dutch weedburger was sold out unfortunately.

--------------------
previous Nov 2018
We had the Dutch Weedburger and leek soup. Lovely lunch.

Cosy little place. Clean. Reserved but friendly service.
Seems newly renovated. Terrace out front.

Is on ground level. Accessible (small curve to get in). No accessible toilet though.

Delicious & healthy

Great spot for a health boost!

We ate there with the team and everyone loved it. The others tried the carrot lox sandwich, the Buddha bowl and the hummus sandwich.
I had the salad of the weak which was tasty. Though next time I think I'll ask for some more greens instead of bread.

Also the green juice and coconut smoothie were very tasty.

Staff was friendly and we got our vibrantly fresh meals very fast. We were having a meeting there all day and regardless of the limited sitting area, staff was friendly. We could even stay till they cleaned up, 45min after closing time.

Bad experience

Unfortunately the staff was not friendly during our visit; the size of the portions are too small; the cakes are not baked by them. There are much better vegan places in Leuven than Life Bar.

Nice vegan breakfast and lunch

Always nice to visit an all vegan place with attention for healthy food, not just the usual pancakes and whatnot. Lunch here has always been tasty and it's cosy to sit inside.

Might be a bit cramped to bring a stroller inside or something, and the terrace seating is also limited. But that's rather nitpicking.

Pros: All vegan and healthy, Small and cosy

Cons: Not the cheapest place, but a fair price, Small terrace

My favorite when in Leuven

Life is my favorite breakfast and lunch bar when in Leuven. Their smoothies, juices, salads, Buddha bowls are so fresh, tasty and colourful.
Their food is nourishing, just the way I like it.
You’ll get good portions. Cosy setting and friendly owners.
They also offer menus where you can try a bit of everything which is very nice when you do not know what to order.
I really like it here!

Pros: 100% Vegan , Cosy setting, Fresh foods
