Dry and plain tasting. Great Vegan Reesie

Had the Tofu scramble and tofu sandwich. Both were dry and plain tasting, probably try something else. Outside seating can only fit like 4-5 people. Delicious Vegan reesie

Cheap and lots of vegan options

A home style bakery which serves all kinds of vegan cafe foods. I had the grilled tofu roll, which was basic but hit the spot well. They only had one vegan dessert option on the day though

Bad food with a great view

Sat on the balcony overlooking the Ganges. I loved that the vegan options were clearly marked on the menu and the Nepali waiter was friendly and attentive. I ordered the vegan spinach and mushroom omelette and it was terrible. It was a dry pancake type dish and a dry piece of toast. Major disappointment. Hopefully their other dishes are way better than that. (They didn’t have the Nepali breakfast the day I went. That’s what I really wanted to try.)

Best tofu scramble!!

Amazing breakfast of tofu scramble with avocado and a delicious coffee afterwards. Went back again later on the same day and had delicious plain dal and roti. Highly recommend

A lot of nice vegan options & great coffee

Great restaurants with a lot of different vegan options and very nice and fast service. They have real good coffee/-specialities (real coffee made with a proper coffee machine, hard to find in India) with Soy and Coconut milk options. Nice view on the Ganga. Seating could be more comfortabl (chairs are not the good).
But all together definitely the right place for eating and coffee.

Pros: a lot of vegan options, very good coffee with soy/coconut options, nice and fast service

Cons: chairs are a little bit uncomfortable , restroom not so nice

Killer Veg Platter

They have some veggies you might really be missing in india! Avocado, broccoli, big mushies! And they have delicious tempeh and falafel and hummus. I was pleasantly surprised!
Oh and the chocolate peanut butter balls omgosh! You have to try it.
Really really good place, good prices!
Upstairs is also nice, bit of a mission though.

Pros: Vegan options , So many veggies!, Delicious

Amazing vegan banana chocolate pie

Amazing vegan banana chocolate pie!! Delicious coffee. Lovely view. Vegan brownie was delicious too, but more of a cake than a brownie. Reasonable price.

Favourite breakfast in Rishikesh

I had breakfast there almost every day for several weeks. They have great soy cappuccino , terrific eggplant-pumpkin-scrambled tofu and lots of other delicious vegan dishes. Vegan options are clearly marked in the menu. Their desserts (displayed in the front are all amazing). They have vegan chocolate-peanut butter balls and an amazing vegan banana chocolate pie.

Pros: Vegan dishes clearly marked in the menu, Friendly staff, Lots of vegan dishes

Vegan options are marked properly. Good food.
I had the vegan cheese pizza, the protein bowl, the scrambled tofu breakfast, the tofu sandwich and the Reese’s ball - all were really great.
And also - very good coffee.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Good value for money, Big portions

Good Food But Service Is Slow

I went there because they had avocado toasts, which were actually really good with a ginger lemon honey tea. The service can be slow sometimes or can bring you the order incorrectly.

Definitely worth a visit!

We heard about this place via word of mouth from a fellow vegan in town. She recommended I get the chickpea omelet and it was soo good. Served with their awesome homemade multigrain toast. Lots of vegan options on the menu!

Their coffee is also delicious and you gotta see the latte art they do here.. its amazing!

Baked goods include many vegan items that are clearly labeled. I also recommend a vegan reeces chocolate ball they make.

Our friend ordered french toast which was kind of disappointing. Toast with butter and watermelon on it. I think they should make it more "westernized" or not call it french toast but fruit toast perhaps.
We each had mochas and they were so good.

They have an upstairs as well with an amazing view of the river.

Staff is wonderful and attentive.

Definitely will be back and will update.

Pros: Chickpea omelet (no eggs!), great coffee

really bad service

Been here twice. First time the food neither service was that great, but I decided to give it another go.

They have lots of vegan options on the menu which is positive.

I ordered scrambled tofu which also comes with either soya tea or coffee. All under vegan breakfast menu. Buuuut the tea
/coffee still comes with cows milk which is mind boggling.

The service here is poor and they don’t seem to know what they are doing.

One good thing is you can eat a lot here as a vegan.
Lots of dishes are already vegan or can be veganised, but unfortunately I will not be coming back.

Pros: vegan options

Cons: bad service

Gluten Free buckwheat pancakes

They have a vegan and gluten free menu in addition to their vegetarian offerings. The mixed fruit gluten free buckwheat pancake is was very good. Be weary of the gluten free cauliflower pizza though, I didn't feel so well after eating it.

best vegan cake and brownies

Go for the vegan chocolate brownie (70 rupees for a huge slice the icing on it is sublime. Also a good selection of vegan cookies. Good view over the Ganges if you sit in. Highly recommended.
