Amazing breakfast! - Edit
The sun is out again so I wanted to treat myself to a Mahalo breakfast. I love their outside terrace, great location, you can easily sit there for hours. I chose the Berry Smoothie Bowl (amazing!!), iced Matcha latte (delicioussss) and Snickers Bar as 'dessert' (wow!). Best experience I had at Mahalo so far😄10/10

Heerlijke plek - Edit
Lekker buiten, met zicht op het park een drankje gedaan hier. Binnen is het kneuterig, maar wel modern. Erg leuk gedaan. Genoeg lekkers op de kaart of voor een drankje in het zonnetje.

Highly recommended - Edit
Netter kleiner Laden an einer eher ruhigen Nebenstraße. Mehrere Tische draußen, im ersten Stock weitere Tische. Unser Essen war reichhaltig und sehr lecker.
Read moreWir hatten den Italiaanse tosti, den Spicy avocado tosty und den Seizoenssalade (Salat d Saison üppig, lecker, nussig).
Der Service dauert ein wenig, dafür ist alles frisch und wir sind ja im Urlaub😉
Die Mate war ok, nicht ganz so, wie wir sie aus Lateinamerika kennen. Heißes Wasser bekommt Mensch aber gratis nachgefüllt.
Pros: Frisches Essen, Reichhaltig und lecker, Entspannte Location

The staff were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our smoothies. It is on the pricier side and the cardamom bun was pretty dry, but delicious nonetheless! Definitely coming back😄

Cute place but not very exciting - Edit
Mahalo was the first fully vegan restaurant in Groningen and is still very much celebrated. Its a nice place to visit when you visit Groningen for the first time, but in my opinion its a bit overrated. The menu is very small and hasnt changed in years, so unfortunately I hardly go here. Last week I met with a friend for breakfast and they do have tasty pancakes 😊 but I think it has a lot of unfulfilled potential.

Fully vegan, perfect for picknick - Edit
Mahalo serves delicious and healthy vegan food. In summer time they also offer pick nick boxes which I have yet to try. When the sun is out, there is usually a queue but that’s because it’s great to grab and go sit in the park.
Read moreEdit: the lunch is also great and quite affordable considering the prices in the west.

Lovely venue - Edit
All vegan! Very nice location also. When they first opened (different owner) the pies were delicious. I think a girl from out of town, denise, made them. That arrangement with her stopped and all pies ever since are okay, but not on Denise her level.

Nice spot near park, could have more options - Edit
Nice location, cosy interior. Cardamon bun was very tasty, not too sweet. Could have been bigger. Avocado toast was tasty and a generous size. There could have been more options for breakfast, and it’s a shame that you can’t order from the lunch menu until midday.

Nice location - Edit
Friendly staff, nice location close to the parc. The apple juice was quite nice. Tables, decorations etc. very nice and cosy. Unfortunately I didn’t really like my food. The soup was missing a lot of flavour, the salad came with chocolate (?) dressing and chocolate drops what didnt meet my personal taste. Unfortunately there were no signs (declarations on the menu) about this. Overall a nice place and I would clearly come back for coffee, tea or other drinks.
Read morePros: Nice Location , Friendly staff , Cosy place
Cons: Chocolate drops in the salad, Soup with a lack of flavour (salt etc.)
