The space welcomes you with walls alive in vibrant, handcrafted art and a warm, inviting sense of home. It’s easy to settle into the cozy chairs and feel time slow down here, giving room to savor not just the food but the company and calm around you.
The mood is gently contemplative yet unpretentious—an ideal spot whether you’re pausing for a morning coffee or lingering over a late lunch. Conversations flow easily but gently, accompanied by the subtle hum of brewing espresso and the soft clink of pottery cups. The focus on organic, fresh ingredients sourced close to home adds a layer of thoughtful care to each bite, framing the menu as an exploration of wholesome, vibrant flavors rather than a rigid culinary statement.

Amazing food and service. The burger and quesadillas were incredible. The vegan cheese was very good. The latte with sesame milk was my favorite. My friend got a large salad and it was so fresh and the dressing was delicious. 10/10 would recommend for even non vegans!

We had our last meal of our trip to the Yucatan here. We aren't vegan but we don't eat a lot of meat and we wanted something that wasn't too heavy. This place was the perfect choice! The vegan hamburger and salad were tasty and all the ingredients were fresh. I'm really glad we ignored the bad reviews! la comida es muy deliciosa!

The first thing to notice is the incredible art on the walls and then the cozy furniture. After we got our food we thought it wasn’t going to be enough (coming from an American of course) but the bread was so hearty and whole that we almost couldn’t finish it. I love how they make everything from scratch and most of it comes directly from their farm. The bread made from Ramon seeds was probably the best I’ve ever eaten. The tahini latte was very different from anything I have tried, a tiny bit of saltiness that I wasn’t expecting, but with some of their honey it was absolutely divine. My friend had the pancakes and said they were so good he couldn’t believe they were healthy. I am sad I didn’t go until my last day in Valladolid because I already want to taste the amazing bread again

Great vegetarian but also traditional food spot. At 9pm you can directly go and watch the light games aside :)

Craving a break from meat? This place hits the spot with its mouthwatering vegan dishes. We savored every last crumb – the mushroom tacos were bursting with flavor, and the salad was as fresh as it gets. Nom nom nom! Bonus: plenty of grab-and-go options and snacks to keep you fueled all day.

The chocolate cake is absolutely delicious without feeling overwhelmingly sweet. Also had a great conversation with the team. Learned a lot about their sustainable mindset and practices.

I’m from Melbourne, Australia and we have a pretty strong cafe culture - this place was so unbelievably good I almost can’t explain. We had the tacos and the tortilla. Both were exceptional. So fresh. So full of delicious vegetables. The Halva latte was amazing. I’ve never come across sesame milk before and it was like an absolute revelation. My friend had a mango and banana smoothie which was also amazing. Service top notch. Gorgeous decor. One of the best cafes I’ve ever been to. Even if you’re not vegan (which we aren’t) just go there.
