healthy and tasty - Edit
I had the lunch meal. It was a delicious carot soup followed by a tasty lentils salad. Accompanied by a juice and a tea.
The staff is very friendly and the price is low. But she did not wait for me to finish my soup before serving the salad and eating outside means sitting on the sidewalk.
Pros: fresh ingredients, friendly staff, good value
Cons: small site

Very filling lunch - Edit
Supersmall cafe where a set menu is available; today the menu was pumpkinsoup, a salad with two falafelpatties, tea and fresh juice(you can choose what kind) for CLP. 3900,-
Although it doesn't look like much, we were superstuffed. I'm not that big of an eater but my boyfriend is and even he was stuffed due to the falafel patties.
Food was fresh and tasty. Service kind.
Pros: Friendly service, Filling, Food fresh and tasty
Cons: Very small with 3 tables only

no tan bueno - Edit
La verdad es que el lugar es muy chiquito, he tenido que llevarme la comida porque no hay espacio para sentarse. La comida falta de sabor, si bien se jactan de ser comida saludable no logran satisfacer el sabor. Las porciones son algo pequeñas y los precios de algunas cosas elevados
Pros: good location
Cons: taste, tiny place, flavor

Not vegan - Edit
Not vegan despite what the menu says. It lists honey (“miel” in Spanish) on the non dairy milk page and the shop sells eggs. Furthermore, the cookies in the jar are not vegan according to the person who worked there. Breakfast was OK, not that you'll have many choice in Valpo anyway.

Nice people, inexpensive lunch, organic fruits - Edit
Vitaminica Portena is a small grocery store that offers different organic and natural products, also some organic fruits and vegetables that are really delicious.
They also offer breakfeast, a good and inexpensive lunch, fruit juices and very good vegan brownies.
The people that work there are really nice and can also provide you with some information about healthy alimentation.
Pros: Friendly people, Cheap and good lunch (menu), sells organic fruits and vegetables
Cons: sometimes not enough place

Nice Location - Edit
We've been there and had the menu of the day. Everything is vegan and it's a nice location with friendly staff.
We were not overwhelmed by the taste. Their cuisine is creative enough, it just didn't suit our taste. The almond milk which they make should go through a nutmilk filter before being served and the cookies tasted like they were from christmas. :-) (it's almost march)
However, the vegan browny was excellent!
Pros: Friendly, All Day Breakfast, Brownie
Cons: Taste, Toilets
