Loads of options

I would rate it 5 stars if I could, but apparently because its not fully veggie its a maximum of 4. Loads of vegan options (Sri Lankan and others) and a delicious aubergine katsu

Vegan chocolate cake

I’ve not tried any of the main dishes here but I really enjoyed the vegan chocolate cake. It was covered with toasted seeds and a dark chocolate sauce. It wasn’t a traditional tasting chocolate cake but still really good.

Great vegan options

Lovely setting, always busy but staff great. Food presented beautifully and ingredients freshly prepared in open kitchen. Good range of vegan options, certainly not an afterthought.
Good potions as well. Shame on our second visit someone was smoking in nearby table.. should be banned.. overall great place hence going twice!

Pros: Staff, Food, Setting

Cons: Smoking if unlucky to get a smoker next to you.

Sehr lecker

Ich war während meinem Aufenthalt in Ella mehrmals dort essen. Die veganen Pancakes sind sehr lecker. Auch das Brot mit Tofu und die Gnocchis waren sehr lecker. Es gibt viele Milchalternativen (sehr teuer, aber scheint hier überall so zu sein).

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen, Vegane Milchalternativen

Leckeres Curry und Kottu

Wir hatten zwei ausgezeichnet vegane Gerichte: Curry und Kottu. Vegane Optionen sind klar gekennzeichnet. Die Portionen waren nicht riesig, aber die zwei Gerichte waren auch deutlich günstiger als andere. Sehr schön zum sitzen. #Veganuary

Pros: klar ausgezeichnete vegane Orionen, Sehr schön eingerichtet, leckeres Curry und Kottu

Cons: Im 3. Stock sehr hell

i love this place!!

the food is amazing, and the place itself really vibe-y with couches and other seating options over four floors. the staff is nice too and parts of the proceeds of the daily vegan cake go to a local animal rescue organisation 🩷 the chocolate cake was superb. its also a good place to work at

Delicious jackfruit burger

Jackfruit burgers were very tasty and huge! Plus fun to be able to personalise your burger. In general good amount of vegan options and labelling. Friendly and attentive staff despite the busyness of the restaurant. You might need to wait 5-10 mins for a table.

Too sweet for us but lots of vegan options!

We tried the pancakes and the peanut butter smoothie bowl. Pancakes were yummy but the smoothie bowl was way too sweet for us. However overall good experience, friendly staff and loved the blue sky tea !

Pros: Atmosphere , Location , Western food

Cons: Some dishes were too sweet

Delicious and clearly labeled

I went to the rainbow cafe several times and loved the location. They offer 3 Sri Lankan dishes the rest is all rather western. From 5-6 they offer a happy hours deal - buy one, get one free.
The scrambled tofu bagel and their gnocchi were my favorites😄

Delicious and plentiful vegan options

We came here for lunch and had Tropical Feelings mocktail to drink and Tropical Thunder for main. My boyfriend also had the curry in a hurry and a coffee & banana milkshake. Sadly the milkshakes and lassies couldn’t be veganised despite alternative milks being available as they include ice cream and buffalo curd. But there were loads of other options to choose from - including MULTIPLE VEGAN DESSERTS! I highly recommend the Tropical Feelings drink. Note that portion sizes are large. I could only eat half of the delicious sago mango dessert 🥲

Pros: Choice of vegan desserts, Clearly labelled vegan drinks, Big portion sizes

Cute café in the heart of Ella with many clearly labeled vegan options ranging from typical Sri Lankan dishes (e.g., curry) to more Western food (e.g., burgers and pancakes)

Fun fact: They also have boardgames upstairs.

Pros: Clearly labeled vegan options , Cozy atmosphere
