Great option! - Edit
The soups are amazing and all vegan gluten free. Tumeric ginger juice i had every day, super fresh and gingery. The place is not all vegan but they have plenty of options and its a nice atmosphere on the river.

Excellent food! Very fresh & large portions! - Edit
Everything was great. The coffee was excellent. All of our meals were very fresh and very large. Maybe offering a half order might be a good idea for people that don’t eat as much. The people are very friendly. The service was great. I would highly recommend this place.

Good vegan food - Edit
Between the two of us, we had a falafel bowl, spicy sweet potato soup, pakoras, and an espresso smoothie made with soy milk, and they were all fully vegan, and quite good.

disappointed - Edit
I so badly wanted to enjoy this restaurant but I think they have a false vegan front. Their menu says things are vegan when they are not. They charge you too much to make things vegan with the addition of avocado or vegan eggs for you to hardly get any. They tried to charge me an extra 5700 colones to make a breakfast quesadilla vegan when the menu said it would cost an extra 1000, and then they hardly gave me any tofu. the flavors are a bit bland and the staff isn’t welcoming on top of this. I’ve had the same experience the two times I’ve been there.

Nice little place next to the river. Some vegan options. I like their wake up smoothie with plant milk. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome too.

Delicious and fresh - Edit
Delicious and fresh! Super friendly staff and absolutely wonderful atmosphere. Generous portions and good value for money. Super delicious smoothies and vegan burrito! Everyone there is super amazing and happy to accommodate vegans and always smile on their faces (you can see the smile in people’s eyes even with their mouths covered from having masks on)! Definitely worthwhile the visit!

The best place I have ever been to - Edit
We came back so many times, the location of this restaurant is great, its right by the river and the atmosphere was also really nice. Staff was always really friendly and the food was always really delicious, they had quite many gluten free vegan options. We tried even smoothies, coffee, desserts.. And there was never a reason for complaining ☺️

Barely ok - Edit
I got the burrito and it was a bit tasteless. On the menu it's written they add more avocado and chili sauce for the vegan option but I had no sauce and just a slice of avocado? Disappointing. You can have better for better price nearby.
Read morePros: Super fast serving, Nice cold brew
Cons: Staff wasn't the most welcoming

Food was ok. - Edit
Some vegan & vegetarian options. Everything we ate was pretty average. Their vegan, gluten free (raw?) cake was tasteless. It wouldn’t be my first choice.

Peppy staff but peppery drinks - Edit
This place is gorgeous like everywhere else is Dominical, the people are wonderful and the smoothies are great. The seating is fun. The food is so fresh. If you get anything that has a heavy spice or seasoning especially the jugo (juice) then be careful they’re VERY flavorful. Also, the WiFi is not that strong there.

Great Vegan Food - Edit
Relaxing and chill place to get food. Employees are all friendly and upbeat and there vegan food is great, although they have minimal options, they do have really great ones: they have a burger, 2 burritos, salad and a yummy chili!! Oh, and let's not forget about their vegan desserts! Dont forget to ask about no honey in a few of their vegan desserts (banana bread was our favorite)

Nous sommes allés au Café Mono Congo à trois reprises et avons toujours très bien mangé! Leurs jus sont délicieux et le bol falafel nous a particulièrement plu. Les options vegan sont bien indiqués et une bonne variété de choix.

Amazing place - Edit
This is an amazing, special place. All the vegan options we’ve had were super yummy, we especially enjoyed the tico burritos, house salad, iced matcha latte, espresso and banana bread that they toast for you. So freaking yummy! Incredible food. Service is amazing, staff is super friendly, the place is beautiful, the riverside view is breathtaking. Aaand, prices are high.

Basic - Edit
There are veg options for sure, can't say I was very satisfied with mine. Ordered the mole chili tempe, in large part because it supposedly includes tempeh. It arrives, a small bowl for 2800 colones, and I cannot discern a single grain or piece of tempeh in it, nor can I say it's flavour at all resembles its description: tasted like a plain chili with lots of cumin as you might have at a food not bombs gathering. Left pretty dissatisfied.
