Delightful cafe; AMAZING vegan steak sandwich - Edit
We went there 3 days in a row for breakfast. The vegan "steak" sandwich was AMAZING. Thought about trying the eggplant, or vegan sweet or savory toast- but loved that sandwich way too much!!!

Delicious flavorful food - Edit
Most dishes were either vegan or had the option to be made vegan.
Read moreYou must try the lentil and carrot dip with pita for appetizer & a vegan steak sandwich. The (lentil stew) stuffed pepper with almond and dried cranberry rice is also really good.
Pros: Flavor , Variety, Knowledge of veganism

Delicious food! - Edit
We loved the carrot lentil dip and would have licked that dish clean if we could! My husband had the vegan steak sandwich which was amazing and made with mushrooms and onions. I had the lentil stuffed pepper with an almond cranberry pilaf and they even had vegan cheese they could put on top if requested! It was all very good food and the staff was very friendly.

Get the vegan steak sandwich! - Edit
There were two clearly labeled vegan options when I visited: the vegan steak sandwich and eggplant marinara. I tried both, and the eggplant was fine but nothing special. I’d definitely recommend the sandwich over the pasta!
Read morePro tip: go upstairs to the Mezzanine (2nd floor) or rooftop bar (3rd floor) after dinner for some drinks!
Pros: Great drinks, Chill atmosphere, Clearly labeled vegan food
Cons: Only a few options so not great for repeat visits

Plenty of options and delicious - Edit
Plenty of options that can be made vegan on the menu, and what I had was delicious - the vegan “steak” sandwich. They also have an extensive selection of fresh juices. I opted for passionfruit and also tried my husband’s soursop juice. I preferred the soursop because it was as sweet, but both were yummy. Good service. Would return.

Delicious - Edit
I was having A LOT of trouble finding vegan food due to a lot of false advertising online at many restaurants stating they have vegan food and they really don’t. I finally found this small but cute place. The server was awesome and very helpful, he made a few recommendations and I was not disappointed!

Good food and great service - Edit
We stopped to eat after wandering around Old San Juan. I liked that the menu was clearly marked and several options could also be made vegan. I got the bell pepper and it was delicious. Also had some tostones that were just about perfect (crisp on the outside and soft inside with just the right amount of seasoning).

Good place with vegan options - Edit
Friendly staff. Different juices like Acerola. I got the pepper and it was great. Fair number of vegan options and the staff knows how to make the plates vegan (most of them are vegetarian). Highly recommend it when in Puerto Rico! Would come back.

Delicious, cute spot! - Edit
Came around 6:30 on a Friday and enjoyed a delicious dinner. Got the V sandwich (waiter said that was the most recommended) but there was many different vegan options to pick from. I got mine with tostones and they were delicious, esp with the vegan chipotle mayo.
Read moreMy friend and I got the kale salad to split and I think you could forgo that one—it was fine but would have been better if dressing had been massaged into the kale!
For meat eaters, my friend got the pastelon and loved it.

Vegan options clearly marked - Edit
After a full day of traveling, the hominess of St. Germain was so welcome with its friendly staff and selections of comfort food of soups, sandwiches, and dips. Went with the eggplant marinara because it was my first real meal of the day. It was hearty and filling and what my body needed. Pro tip: cut the eggplant and mix in its garlicky goodness with the sauce. It's fried well so it'll keep its crunch and shape. It made me crave for a flat plate instead of the bowl the spaghetti came in. Managed not to splash too much tomato sauce.
Read moreHappy hour from 3 to 7pm, $5 dollar drinks and discounts on the breaded eggplant and yucca montadito (which can be made vegan). Ask for Alex; he makes a mean margarita.

Great veggie friendly place in old San Juan - Edit
Loved this place—ate here two days in a row. The V-Steak was outstanding. The veggie burger was meh—mushy. But the drinks and juices were great, service great, and not as expensive as some of the other stuff around. Also really well air conditioned, a must in the blazing heat.
Read morePros: Food was flavorful and delicious , Good vibes, Not expensive
Cons: A wait to get in even though open tables, Only one unisex bathroom stall so a line

Tasteful, beautiful, and filling vegetarian options in a relaxed setting - Edit
For context, I went here while on vacation with my two meat eating friends during Spring Break.
Read moreVenue:
Lovely relaxed atmosphere (basic wooden benches, chairs and tables, etc.). Very small inside, but very clean and pretty and was cool enough without blasting A/C. We walked, but there appeared to be street parking outside (though it would be tight as it was in most of OSJ)
One waitress seemed to have all of the tables (we went there Friday at opening). We did a bit of waiting, but the server was good and she made an excellent drink recommendation. The bartender pitched in a bit in bringing out drinks and clearing plates.
Drinks:
-Lavender Lemonade - was ok but a bit bland. Wouldn't order again.
-Caribbean Cheery Juice - VERY good and had an unexpected sweet, tropical flavor. We all really liked this. 10/10 would order again.
-St Germain - a little too spicy and sweet. We mixed it with the lemonade and it was much better. TBF the waitress said she didnt like this one, but the curiosity got us anyways.
-GuanaMash - recommended by the waitress. It was the perfect cocktail. Very light and refreshing!
The soup of the day was Broccoli Potato with microgreens, and one friend loves beets so we ordered the Beets and Goat Cheese Appetizer. I was surprised by the presentation, but it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
My friends split a Tuna Panzanella and I had the Romesco Sandwich with Tostones which I made them both try. I also tried a bit of the salad that came with their tuna and it was delightful - both the dressing and croutons seemed like the were made in house and the veggies were very fresh and flavorful. The Sandwich was surprisingly filling and flavorful - I'm used to having the vegetarian option be a lackluster afterthought. Tostones were crisp and flakey, but a little salty.
2 cocktails
2 juices
2 appetizers
2 entrees
Came to about $100 before tip. I thought this was fair considering the quality and thought put into the meal. I wouldn't want to spend this every day, but will happily pay this for a nice vacation meal with friends:) We cleaned our plates and would happily come here again.
Pros: Interesting flavor profiles, Vegetarian items seem a priority, Clean and visually appealing site
Cons: Potential wait since its a small shop

Yummy Dinner in OSJ! - Edit

Perfection - Edit
The food is amazing here. Don’t look further. It wasn’t very full but we went in anyway. We were blown away. The food was delicate, refined, the service attentive yet unobtrusive. The music was fantastic. What a gem Old San Juan. On par with the best vegan restaurant in San Juan (Aovara, Chef Jerome) and Washington DC (Oyster Oyster). Not to be missed. Don’t be fooled by the deceptive bistro fair. The dishes would not be out of place at a five star fine dining restaurant. Perhaps just needs some tablecloths and fancy flair but we are just as happy with the relaxed bohemian vibe it lovingly exudes.
