good place - Edit
There are two main pluses: the prices are pretty low and the portions are big. The most I liked the lentil burger. There is an underground atmosphere and very nice staff. Absolutely recommend.

Go there! - Edit
Honestly, I was there last year - but I remember the place well. They have super food for cheap prices [special lunch offer!]. Likable place with many many stickers. Friendly staff which spoke English.

Great experience! - Edit
After reading the reviews I was a little hesitant but I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the lentil burger with Idaho potatoes and everything was served fast and tasted delicious. I wanted to try the waffles but they were out, so I had a cupcake. They also have a few vegan magazines dating as far back as 2002 😂

Super slow - Edit
Great food but not worth the wait. Have options in mind because a lot of the menu is out.

Great food, very slow service - Edit
The food is great, but not all the menu options are available and sometimes you don’t find this out until you’ve already ordered. The service is also very slow. We waited about 45 mins for our mains (despite changing our order because the pizza was apparently going to take 45 mins to make) then a further 50 mins for dessert.
Read morePros: Plenty of options, Great tasting food, Delicious desserts
Cons: Very slow service, Often options aren’t available

ok but nothing more - Edit
Be prepared to get your 5th choice food ... we ordered water. There wasn't any. They offered us apple juice. There wasn't any. They offered us cherry juice. There wasn't any. They offered us orange juice. There wasn't any. We just asked them to bring as ANYTHING and in the end one of us got apple juice and the other cherry juice. We ordered pizza and a burger, there wasn't any pizza. We got the burger and a wrap. Was okay but nothing special, have eaten better food! Of course they also had no waffles left ... quite disappointing.
Read moreWe came again the next day for waffles, asked right away before even sitting down whether they had waffles ... they hadn't any left. What else had we expected?

Super slow! - Edit
Food was pretty good here, offering vegan and an English menu. But! It took 2hrs to get 1 of the 2 pizzas we ordered. Ended up forfeiting the price of the second pizza so we could leave... just couldn’t wait any longer.

Fairly Disappointed, Actually. - Edit
We went for the pizzas. It’s been a while since we had good vegan pizza. Sadly, we ordered and they were out. So we ordered falafel burgers. They were out. Then fries. Out. So we got a seitan burger and lentil burger with tofu nuggets and oyster mushrooms for apps. We were told to order dessert at the same time because it took 45 minutes. We did. Guess what came out first? Our dessert. Then our burgers. Then our apps... Everything was just average. Even the milkshake, which was coffee base with whipped cream on top and Oreos. Sadly, very average!

Worth another go - Edit
Got the seitan burger after they informed me they had run out of vegan cheese for the pizzas. It was nothing amazing, still pretty good. Also ordered the tofu nuggets which came well after I finished the burger (a nice desert?). I wasn’t blown away, but I’ll still go back to try the pizza. Service was kind of slow but super friendly! Also, they now have an English menu. And you can buy a beer at the RULE Bar nearby and bring it over.

Sehr lecker, schwer zu finden, nur Cash - Edit
Es gibt leider keine englische Karte, aber die Bedienungen geben Auskunft über die Karte, wenn man sie darum bittet :) ich hatte den Seitan Burger, der wirklich gut und sehr günstig war. Man kann allerdings nur mit Bargeld bezahlen.

Il posto non c'è più - Edit
Volevo spilluccare qualcosa dopo una lunga camminata in citta, purtroppo non ho trovato il Cafe di per se. Si vede che l'hanno chiuso perché ci sono i lavori in corso al questo indirizzo e il nome del posto è cambiato. Mah, speriamo che sarò più fortunata 🍀 col prossimo...

cheap and Great service!!!! - Edit
If you're a budget traveller this is a great place. Although the menu is not in English it's all vegan and the girls speak great English and will help you go through the menu. The food isn't the best vegan food I've had, but it's still flavoursome and decent portions. It's western food like pizza, burgers, soups wraps etc. I've been here a few times its a nice place to relax but no windows.
Read morePros: cheap, great service and portions.

good value tasty food, service is very slow.. - Edit
.. even by moscow standards. The seitan wrap and burgers are delicious and good size portions. They also have russian board games. Meals delivered in a random order at random times so make sure youre not in a rush.

Стали обсчитывать - Edit
Раньше,ходили часто,и наизусть знаем меню. Но к сожалению, больше в данное заведение не придем. Все последние 3 раза,говорили не правильную сумму счета. После третьего раза,решили бойкотировать данное место. В принципе,мы даже чаевые больше оставляли,чем обманывали в счёте. Но неприятен сам факт этого. Причем все последние 3 раза,рассчитывали разные люди. Это уже перебор.

tasty, friendly, cheap - Edit
Very cozy place but a bit hidden. The staff is very friendly. The menu resembles a huge variety of vegan foods. From burgers, soups, salads and pizzas, to wraps, waffles and cakes. Sadly the menu is only in Russian but the staff is very helpful and everything is vegan so nothing can go wrong ;)
Read moreThe prizes are very moderate especially the drinks are very cheap.
If you have the opportunity definitely check it out! It seems to be very popular amongst the young people here!

cheap and democratic - Edit
Despite its very central location it was quite a challenge to find the place. It is located in the corner of a blind alley behind another cafe. I also noted that there was a hostel just next to it. At first I wasn’t impressed by the interior which was some sort of shabby and gloomy. Actually I didn’t even expect the food to be good. The waitress told us that their specialties were pizza and vegan burgers. We opted for pizza and it was ok. The only dissapoitment was that the pizza dough contained regular yeast. We found out about that afterwards...
Read moreI also had a glass of nice hot cacao with coconut milk.
The prices are moderate. Friendly staff.

Acceptable, but old-fashioned approach to vegan food - Edit
Had the seitan burger, which unfortunately was quite rubbery and not really flavorful, on top of the burger itself being sub-standard in terms of bite, bun and toppings. There are better vegan burgers in Moscow for sure. Soft drinks were served warm as well. The service staff is really nice, but not the fastest - there was one person servicing the whole restaurant and making drinks.
Read morePros: It's vegan, which means a lot in a city like Mosco

vegan heaven in Moscow - Edit
Epic food in a cool cafe. Make sure you save room for dessert too. I had the seitan burger and wedges, shared a Hawaiian pizza (smoked tofu, pineapple and cheese) and finished with the waffles with cream and chocolate sauce. Waiter was so lovely and offered to translate for us and recommended various dishes. The guys I went with had a snickers cake (massive portion) and a chocolate brownie (big again) - so good!

Kind staff, amazing food - Edit
I chose to try the burger recommended by the staff and they made me the greatest smoothie to go with it.
Read moreI personally can't complain because the waiter himself effortly translated the whole thing, but they could have English menus and save themselves the bother. He started to explain about veganism until I told him I am fully aware and had gone on purpose. He said many Russians would go and then complain when they see there's no cruelty in their menu. So I take that as a good reason why they should indeed have English menus, if we foreigners seem to be the main target for now.
The "house" burger was amazing and the place has a friendly atmosphere. Everyone in the staff was very attentive although a bit shy given my language barrier.
The worst inconvenience is getting there on foot from anywhere beyond the closest Metro station, because it is a true pedestrian Hell.
Pros: Tasty, Friendly staff
Cons: Inaccessible on foot

Delicious - Edit
Portion sizes are big, food is good. Magazines, books, and board games everywhere in the cafe. Kind of hard to find, you have to find the Federal library, walk 100m down the street, find the black gates, go in past a hostel, barber shop, another cafe, and a vape shop to find it. No clear signs, but ask within the alleyway and they'll direct you. Staff speaks English, lots of tourists. Really friendly atmosphere, recently expanded their menu so they have a lot more desserts to offer.

Good vegan burgers - Edit
Came here on a very busy Saturday night, but the waitress was very kind and patiently explained the menu to us. Burgers and potato wedges were great pub food, group next to us had a massive and good looking pizza. It's a fun and relaxed place with board games. A little difficult to find: once you find the small street with Rolling Stones art you're in the right street, and it's the third or fourth place on the left; there isn't really a sign outside.

unpretentious and good prices - Edit
This place is cool because they don't try to be super trendy - they are like an ordinary fast food place but everything is vegan. The people are friendly and the food is very good. I like it. Kind of hard to find but just ask someone if you get close to the address on google maps and can't find it. The door to the cafe doesn't have a very obvious sign and is tucked away behind some other businesses.
