This little café is located in Viman Nagar, behind Phoenix Market City. This place is great for a hang out and has a cozy ambience. They have a separate menu for the vegan items and those are some of the most unique dishes I’ve seen in any restaurant in Pune. This café makes its own cheese sauces using nuts like almonds & cashews. Needless to say, those are completely vegan. Their specialties are vegan crab cakes prepared using chickpeas (!) and their vegan lasagna. I also adore their nachos and tacos!
