The perfect place to eat in samara!

Definately eat here if you are in Samara! Celia is an absolute bundle of joy and we always leave with a smile on our faces! There is one vegan option a day that changes, (you can have it as a burrito or a plate) and every time we've had it, is has been amazing. The pura vida chocolate cake is honestly one of the best cakes I've ever tried, and they use homemade coconut flour, coconut milk and cacao. Great food and vegan options everytime, I would definitely recommend.

Pros: Delicious food , Great vegan options , Amazing cake

AWESOME cute little place

Would not let me rate 5 stars or I would! Super cute little place to grab the vegan lunch special, a vegan latte or cappuccino, or to peruse the selection of vegan cakes. Celia herself was SUPER nice and amiable, and the conversation we easily struck up was the best part! Love little gems like this, will definitely be coming again

What a beaut!

Small food truck with a couple vegan cake options.

The vanilla was not the best, but the chocolate was delicious.

The cold mocha lattes were very strong - it was more like drinking black coffee than a latte, but she had this cool coconut foam/marshmallowy stuff on top which was nice.

The vegan burritos were homemade and flavourful.



Celia and her staff are beautiful and I am grateful to have a place with vegan options. It’s always so nice to try something new.

Very friendly owners, enjoyed the talking, it was very interesting

Pros: Taste, Sympatic owners, Many vegan options

So much energy!

Celia is such a beautiful human, she has so much energy and love to give and it shows in her products. We came here twice, the first for lunch where I had a delicious pineapple curry and a mellow yellow cake. Our second visit was for the chocolate divine which was as described - divine!

Pros: Wonderful service, Delicious food

Cons: The cakes ran out quick!

Nice little place with a special energy

The owner has such a special energy and makes the place come alive thanks for that and for creating a space with vegan treats when there are so few options i town🙏☺️
Got a nice hot chocolate and a lemon/cinnamon cake. Personally I enjoy my lemon cake a little more lemony but that is preference and it was all over very nice. One of the few places in town that has vegan cheese on the menu, didn't get to try any of it though.

Yum!

Celia is an absolute treasure! What a friendly, wonderful person. I just felt great after ordering. Ok, so the food. I tried all three vegan cakes that were out that day, and they were all delicious. Not overly sweet and with a great texture. The gluten free cake also had a great texture, which I consider somewhat of an achievement. Definitely a good option for sweet treats.

Pros: Really friendly staff, Good prices

Had apple ginger curry with coleslaw. Both were light and flavorful. Tropical cake for desert - vegan and gluten free. It was superb, moist and delicious. Will definitely be back. Celia is a charmer. #Veganuary

A Gem in Sámara

Came back to Sámara after two years to find our favourite “LOVE BURGER” vegan restaurant is no longer since Covid.
Was delighted to find Sweeties by Celia! Mostly she has baked goods with vegan and GF options, vegan ice creams, juices and a limited food menu. Daily there is a meat dish and a vegan dish and they can come as either a burrito or as a dinner with rice and salad. The main dish for both the veg and the meat change daily. We had a vegan Tikka Masala and the salad was a flavourful coleslaw that complemented it nicely. They were both very enjoyable and tasty. They were accommodating of swapping the rice for extra salad for me. A small kitchen and food is cooked in advance so customizations would be a challenge.
My dining companion had the vegan GF chocolate cake and said it was very good too.
Celia, the chef and staff are all very attentive and fast. The setting and ambience are casual, trendy and comfortable.
I plan to go again.

Pros: Excellent price, Charming and kind owner, Delicious

Only one vegan option. We had vegan apple ginger curry and wrap with the same curry inside. Curry was good. We also had vegan GF chocolate cake, which was good. The owner was knowledgeable and kind. The service was fast.

Great people, great food and super good vibes

As vegans we only had one menu to choose from. But this one menu was super delicious and it was made with love. We had a pumpkin spinach curry. Give it a try and we can assure you that you won’t be dissappointed. They also had two vegan cakes (chocolate and lemon) which were absolutely delicious.

Pros: Vegan options, Homemade

Cons: Not many options

Must stop if in the area

Great little spot with changing menu every 2 days, vegan desserts, and non dairy milks. Celia is so sweet as well as everyone else who works there. Chocolate cake is the best and I ate it everyday for a week. Very affordable prices too.

Great people, great food!

Its been our experience that if the people at a restaurant are kind then the food is always an enjoyable experience. The kindness spills over into the food! It’s a small place with a few vegan options, but what she had was very good.
