Sooo many vegan options!

Lovely cafe in a courtyard. You can get sandwich’s, wraps, bagels and then build them with what you want. Lots of vegan options (tofu/tempeh plus things like mushrooms etc).
We travelled all day so this was perfect for us! Even got a dessert smoothie afterwards.
They had some vegan treats (muffin and cookies) and we got that take away for day trip tomorrow! Such a good find

Best Cafe/Food in Xela

The menu is clearly labeled Vegan and Gluten Free. I ordered the salad with tempeh, soy and garlic with a cilantro, avocado and lime dressing along with whole wheat bread. It was so delicious and even filling. I would eat here every day if I could!

Pros: Very chill atmosphere , Great service , Delicious/filling meals

Cons: Closes at 6pm

Das Beste vegane Essen in Xela!

Im Mandarina gibt es eine große vegane Auswahl. Wir hatten Tacos mit Austernpilzen und ein Hummus Wrap. Als Vorspeise hatten wir Tomaten und Karottensuppe und als Nachtisch Tee Brownie und Bananenbrot.
Es war alles richtig lecker.
Das Personal war sehr nett und sie hatten auch ein Kinderstuhl!

Good Food in a friendly ambiente

I ate the tomate soup with avocado broad as a starter and a wrap as a main. For the dessert I ordered a Brownie. All of it was very good, I especially liked the possibility to choose from a variety of vegan/vegetarian options for the wraps.

Pros: Wrap with Chickpea and sweet chilly, Tomato Soup, Brownie

Five stars/place to meet and be in Xela

By far the best you can find in Xela! I was there every day. Fair prices. Huge and healthy salads. The baked goods are awesome too - especially the banana bread (supposed to be gluten and sugar free!). Nice ambience and polite and fast staff!

Nice tomato soup

The tomato soup was really tasty, the carrot soup was decent. Large bowl too. Unfortunately the half bagel served with it was burnt. Nothing special but nice to see some vegan options

Cons: All outside (cold)

Lots of vegan options

A chill place serving salads, sandwiches and tacos with many vegan options - tofu, vegan cheese, sautered mushrooms, tempeh etc. I took the stir fried tempeh on top of my salad. Dishes are big! As well there's a gluten free bread option. Would highly recommend visiting there's if you're around!

Pros: Huge salads, Many vegan options such as tempeh , Quick service

Delicious!

The salad with mustard sauce is amazing!! As is the chocolate banana smoothie and the chocolate orange cupcake. I wish I could be more days in Xela to be able to try the rest of the food at Mandarina.

Best find in Xela!

We came here 3 times in one week, bc the food is so yummy, they have many vegan options and the owners and staff are just lovely. They make the tofu and tempeh in house (wed and fri you can buy it to take home) and the way they prepare it is just wow, super delicious!! We also enjoyed the other parts of the dishes and also the soy cappucchino and sweets. The patio setting is nice and comfy and having some dogs around makes it even better.

Pros: Many great vegan options, Knowledgeable and very lovely staff and owners, Always offering new products and creations

Cons: Offer animal products

vegan cookies and ice cream!

Great place but they don’t always have a lot of vegan options. Their cookies are incredible though and the vegan ice cream is very nice.

Vegan cookies and Ice Cream daily

Stoked that this place has opened since I've been gone from Xela. In the two weeks I've been back, I must have visited at least 7 times so far. From what I can tell they have at least 2 vegan cookie types daily and 2 vegan-friendly ice creams.

As of August 2014 it seems like the cookie flavors were:
Oatmeal with cranberries and a chocolate + nuts type cookie

The ice cream flavors were:
Strawberries with basil and Coffee with cacao nubs.

I think one of the ladies who runs the place also owns La Esquina Asiatica.

Pros: Super friendly staff., Cookies about ~6Q each. Ice cream ~20Q., THERE IS VEGAN ICE CREAM IN XELA.
