Outstanding vegan Cafe in KK

It surprised us that KK had a vegan cafe with a Westernized menu. The food was good, however a bit pricey.
Also the menu was quite small. Mainly just a burger (which was delish) and some nourish bowls (lovely toppings, but also a lot of brown rice). It is lovely to eat here for once, but not twice due to the small menu and the higher price than local food.
A dish with brown rice and veg will be at the local veg places maybe around 3 times cheaper.

Pros: Only vegan Cafe in KK with proper western options., Staff is super lovely and friendly.

Cons: No options for vegetarians if you really crave for, egg or dairy or so. , I was missing some smoothies or juices on the menu

taste like heaven

mushroom burger great but the skinny fries make it better. made my own bowl and i can not complain. get the water add on because no free water. out of stock on many things because of Chinese new year recently. the best in Borneo. Go vegan forever, it gives you purpose and makes lives better and longer

A vegan oasis

This place ranks as a haven for those seeking 100% vegan cuisine.

The staff are fully aware of how far vegan ethics extend.

Though Kota Kinabalu does offer many vegetarian options, this is to date the only fully vegan restaurant in town.

We tried the tempeh burger and mushroom pizza. The burger was one of the best we've ever had, the pizza was very innovative.

I wouldn't consider their prices to be extortionate, simply because they are offering something unique to the area and I personally am more than happy to pay for that.

The bowls, including a build your own option, looked delicious. As for the desserts, we'll have to return to sample them, as they had just had a mad rush before lunch and had subsequently sold out.

Pros: Original, Ethical, Varied

❤️

Little cafe in a warehouse. Totally vegan, nice food choices & cakes. Delicious flavoured water. Nasi lemak was lovely & healthier than usual with more veg 👍🏼 Portion size was just right for me, but if you have a big appetite you may want to order more (lucky you). Catch a grab or walk there (it’s not far!) Staff friendly & helpful. Not overpriced. Also sells soy milk & vegan mayo.

Pros: All vegan, Nice food , Friendly staff

Great vegan restaurant in KK

A bit far away from the city centre but totally worth it to get a grab and pay a visit (or two) if you're in KK.
Great selection of dishes and fresh ingredients. Vegan cakes and juices a must-try!

Cons: A bit pricey

Vegan cafe

Awesome cake in an all vegan cafe just outside of Kota Kinabalu. Must visit while you are in town as it's the only 100% vegan place I've found in Borneo so far😄
I got the 15 myr cake deal with a free pot of tea😄

Pros: All vegan, Big slice of cake

Cons: Pricey for Malaysia food

Amazing vegan cafe

Should be listed as Vegan and not Other as they serve main meals now as well, almost missed this place as assumed it was just a store! Really nice place a little out of town but well worth the grab there (ours cost 12 RM). Varied menu with lots of western and a few Malay and other Asian dishes such as Nasi Lemak. We had a pizza, nasi lemak, chocolate and banana smoothies, a burger and some cake. All was delicious but the nasi lemak, burger and cake stood out in particular. The nasi lemak was so flavourful but quite spicy so be careful if you’re not keen on spice! Reasonably priced, around 13 - 22 for mains. We will be back for sure!

Pros: Only fully vegan place in KK, Delicious cakes

Vegan Cafe with an AWESOME Mission!

This cozy cafe serves all vegan foods and drinks including delicious desserts! We went there two days straight for dinner when we were in Kota Kinabalu (it was quite challenging finding vegan food there!) and our tummies were happy!

We really like their mission in making this planet a better place using only fresh ingredients while protecting and advocating for the animals and our Mother Earth!

We had pepper burger and pizza on the first night then Cesar salad and Mac & cheese. You can tell they are wholesome and healthy with great taste. But the star of the dish is actually the Matcha cake!!! Wow to die for! We devoured within minutes!

The staff were extremely friendly. I was eager to taste the Kimchi and willing to pay for it but did not want to get the whole dish. The staff gave me a big generous portion to taste! Best kimchi ever! Spicy and flavorful.

Thank you for being the first vegan cafe in KK!

Pros: Great missions for all beings!, Tasty and clean food!, Awesome ambiance and friendly staff!

Cons: Just a little distant from town but easy with Grab

VEGAN kk! Good mission and decent food. Matcha cake!

ALL VEGAN! Nice atmosphere a bit out of the downtown. We had nice chocolate paradise shake, lovely pepper burger and rich pizza. Left us satisfied with some western style food but they also have Malay dishes. We love their vision for the planet. They also run a wood shop and furniture making place at same locale. The only all vegan in Borneo we found. Worth the GRAB out there. Ate here another night and had yummy Caesar, mac n cheese and the best matcha cake ever. Moist and intense. Loved kimchi too!

Pros: Great vision , Nice atmosphere , Ok food but amazing cakes!

Cons: A bit further than downtown kk, A bit rich food
