One of my sister's and my favorite stops on our trip to Europe! First of all, love that everything is plant-based. The food is not only healthy, it's also tasty and beautiful! The mother daughter duo behind the counter were super sweet and friendly as well. I wish I could have enjoyed their food more than twice while visiting Cinque Terre! I tried the hummus toast (a trio of flavorful hummus's topped with cucumber, carrot, sun-dried tomato, olives, dried oregano, and a sprig of basil), avocado toast (drizzled with balsamic reduction and sprinkled with pretty sprouts), and a green fruit smoothie.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone, vegan or not, looking for a delicious meal in...

The food tastes like home, and you don’t have to be vegetarian to enjoy it fully like we did. I got a little sick day before we arrived to Riomaggiore, and was surprised by being offered a customized off menu drink to boost immune system (which helped a lot).
We stayed only for 2 days but ended up visiting 3 times for drinks and sandwiches with beetroot hummus (seriously, it was the best hummus, even compared to high-end restaurants I dined at)
Expect to wait in line, it gets busy during peak hours. However, this is rare case when...
