homey falafel wrap - Edit
came here for lunch with two other friends. i ordered a falafel wrap with some sweet potato fries and enjoyed a nice time and meal with them. my food was flavourful and hearty, and i really enjoyed the sauce in the wrap (which of course they make themselves).
Read morethe place itself is also very cute. it’s not too visually crowded while still having a lot of little details and decor to look at and set the mood.
one thing keeping me from giving it five stars is that there was not any ambience music, which i can understand, but is a little unnerving to me.

Delicious food - Edit
Quaint little place with delicious, freshly cooked food. Had the falafel wrap with a side of sweet fries, which were amazing, and my partner had the soul of the day (pumpkin and spinach) with one of the burgers. It is cash only.

Super friendly service - Edit
I arrived shortly before closing time with my toddler, and the service couldn't have been friendlier.
Read moreThe lady brought books and pencils for his entertainment and even managed to put a special dessert together because he's allergic to cashews and pistachios.
I was too exhausted to actually study the menu, and was very grateful for the effort she put into making us feel comfortable.
Thanks a million! 💚
Pros: The friendly service, Tasty food, Toddler entertainment and cute decorations

Como en casa - Edit
No podía ser más acogedor y agradable el sitio. Terracita a la fresca y plato del día (en nuestro caso curry rojo) exquisito. También probamos un wrap, que aunque pueda parecer lo mismo de siempre, estaba especialmente rico. Una tarta de algarroba e higos increíble. Un acierto

Friendly place - Edit
Nice menu with all vegan options. Very good service. Only thing to improve is the spice of the food, everything was fresh but tasted “earthy”.

Vegan cafe - Edit
Small place with a good atmosphere. We sat at one of the few outdoor tables in the square. We had the house lemonade and a soy-based mocha latte , and the lemon cake and carrot cake which was excellent. There was only one member of staff (the owner?) doing everything so don't come if you are in a hurry.

Lovely little cafe in Faro - Edit
Very relaxed cafe visited for lunch. We enjoyed the felafel rap, the felafel couscous salad, and finished off with some freshly baked carrot cake. It was great to sit outside and there was plenty of inside seating. The cafe is fully vegan.

Elegant cafe - Edit
Laid back place, with a menu that changes by the day. Today’s offer was a lentil stew and a Mexican wrap. I chose the latter.
Read moreFirst bite - the black beans with rice was very promising! The babaganoush (or equivalent) was another win! The wrap with tofu was another wow factor.
Great food, hospitable people who run the place. What more could one want.

Yummy and fresh with a great ambiance. - Edit
I’ve been trying to get to this place for ages and finally did! The food was generous and delicious. The almond cake with Gila was to die for!!! I will definitely be coming back for more. The place itself is super relaxed with plenty of outdoor seating and the interior is welcoming and quirky. Really good food and lovely staff too. Highly recommend.

Average food - Edit
As a Portuguese, I felt that tourists were treated differently (better somehow)... So I didn't like that. Also I found the food to be just fine, nothing special and the menu very small. It's a pity because the place itself has potential.
