Loving Hut

Sandwiches and wraps pre-made and lying in counter from morning, even from the day before (discounted). This doesn't instill confidence, freshly prepared is better.

Bear in mind that it's a tiny place with hardly any place to eat, and it's only fast food albeit vegan.

I have just had a sandwich but it was a really good one. I regret not to try a piece of cake also. The staff was really nice and indicated me others vegan-friendly place to find things to bring for a dinner on the plane.

Lovely friendly staff, well priced meal. I had a sandwich and a banana shake, for around €5
Really nice warm atmosphere.

The staff are very friendly and always smiling.The food is really nice and there are many choices.I recommend this place !

Such lovely welcoming staff, wide variety of inexpensive but tasty, experimental dishes.

Another great addition to a fantastic chain.

Loving Hut is a vegan restaurant with many options: soup, wraps, sand, pizza, quiches and variety of desserts.
We were there twice, and both of the times the food and the staff was very nice.

Easy to find, close to the centre, nice staff, quite cheap. I liked the fact that you can get cold pizza slices! The vegetable one was really good!

The Loving Hut has a good selection of quiche, sandwiches/wraps, raw desserts, a few soups and dips. I got the carrot ginger soup (it was delicious- they made it fresh and extra spicy on my request) with a veggie quiche warmed up, followed by a frozen ice cream and the chocolate pudding for takeaway. Everything was delicious. I stayed in to eat, but it's small and great for getting takeout. Definitely a place I could return to.

Besides the food that was really good (Pizza, quiche, muffin and chocolate mousse), I was shocked by how much the guy working there was friendly ! Loving hut sells vegan cheeses and he open some of the boxes to give us a taste. I wish a had a loving hut like this one in Paris...

The first thing you see when you come into the Loving Hut is the staff smiling at you. They are so nice and so friendly it's hard not to like the place. We tried some wraps (very good!) and some sandwiches (a little bit too much bread and a bit dry, but OK), but the thing we liked the most were their chocolate muffins. They were so, so, so good! And they tasted really fresh, just like the ones I make at home. Definitely recommend!

I love the quiche here. I periodically buy a whole one. ^^ I've tried some of the rest of the things, and I love most. I wish this place were closer, so I could go more often!

I agree with another reviewer about the plastic, but unfortunately plastic is still very much a thing here. BG has a long way to go in this regard. Alternatives are either non-existant or too expensive. My hope is that things will gradually get better.

Located close to one of the most touristic places in the city this small place offers great variety of vegan and raw foods and fresh drinks. Raw soups, smoothies, tea, sweets, sandwiches, meatballs and many more.
Make sure to step by for lunch!You will be very pleased.
Very friendly staff!

I'd love to get behind this place -- after all, it's vegan in Sofia, and is part of a good chain, if there's such a thing as a good chain: the Loving Hut.

And overall, it's really nice having it as an option. If I lived in Sofia, I'm sure I would make an occasional visit.

My experiences were mixed, however. One sandwich I had was good -- croquette with vegan cheese, and definitely tasty (though I have to admit it had not been heated all the way through). Other items I had on a separate visit -- some sort of veg & potato pie, and a cupcake -- were not super great. Especially the cupcake. And I think the main problem is that it's a 'reheat' place -- the food sits in the display case and is heated up for you (though I had to ask one time). This approach is ok in some cases, like a very busy deli. But the place is not really that kind of place, and the food is sitting around a long time, I think.

The other thing that surprised me in a bad way is that there didn't seem to be a whole lot of eco effort -- for example, the small platters to eat in were plastic. Sofia has a long way to go with recycling, so there is about a 99.9% chance those things are going in a landfill (in any case, the plastic was uncoded). Why not use something compostable?

I am feeling charitable enough to give them 4 stars, particularly since I would definitely return on occasion for a quick sandwich if I were a Sofia resident. I just wish it could be better!

Very tasty, friendly and small place ;)
They speak English, helpful and real vegan enthusiasts ;)
Wish to find something like this in Toronto ;)

The best Loving Hut so far! My boyfriend and I visited Sofia a couple weeks ago and went to Loving Hut twice in one day! The food is delicious, but the staff is what makes the place really shine! Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness! Keep on the good work! Greetings from Slovenia! :)

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Sofia.
It is not really a restaurant, it is a "fast food" type of place but very pleasant. If you are on the go, you can grab a delicious sandwich or a muffin.
The prices are a bit high compared to similar non-vegan places but if you are vegan, it is worth it :)

Small cozy restaurant, friendly staff, they don't speak much English but have an English menu. Have a good variety of options including desserts, food was delicious.

The above review is pretty spot on. The place is small and was busy when we visited (on a Sunday). The service was very friendly but not very fast. The food was great. We had a couple of sandwiches, a wrap, quiche and some sort of dessert balls. The bread the sandwich rolls were on was delicious. They had a few options. While they were "meat" it's not fake meat in the processed sense, more some sort of burger they're making themselves. We enjoyed everything we ate and would eat here again.
