Went for a late breakfast and this is one of the yummiest vegan places I have been to. The food is flavored so beautifully and the blends of tastes are amazing. We ordered the picadillo y plátanos and the picadillo empanadas with mole mayo and hibiscus tea, with a cinnamon roll for dessert and I highly recommend this place and the food. There are also many different types of places to sit and eat. Very nice vibes!

A gusty waterfront belies a friendly experience with astonishing variety. The most important thing to know is to take a quick left to visit the vegan bakery; the shops most exceptional feature and a prized emerald. I met Andrea there who shared lore about the local and house made all vegan culinary creations that I could take. This is a superb place to pick out a gift. Get two though because the first may not make it home. Otherwise the audio is decently done despite the reflective environment. Full upbeat rhythms without being overbearing because its not distorted. So someone thoughtfully engineered the experience. The bottomline is that most people will feel warmed here and likely take something special home with them.

This place is a VIBE ✨ Wanted some good vegan food/coffee while exploring Brooklyn and stumbled upon this place. Super cute, beautifully decorated & loaded with plants- this place was wonderful. Loved the fun color aesthetic! Staff was super welcoming & kind. What I got: Iced latte- strong coffee with oat milk. Was delicious Egg/cheese breakfast empanada- wow! Soooo good! Deliciously warm & crispy. Loaded on the inside. Came with dipping sauce that was bomb. Donut- I don’t remember the name of the donut but it was amazing. It was massive. Like sooooo big. Delicious vegan cream cheese “frosting” with a sweet jam on the inside 🥹 This place was a wonderful surprise & I am so glad I stopped in! They also have a nice selection of vegan goodies to go!

There’s multiple businesses together here. There’s a market, and then right at the entrance is Guevera’s where you can buy pastries and drinks. It’s all vegan and the selection is amazing. I got the breakfast bomba, the churro pop tart and the scallion pancake danish. The breakfast bomba was basically a whole meal, it’s a bun filled with like a breakfast scramble. The pop tart was so delicious and the texture was just the right amount of crisp without being dry. I want to try more pop tart flavors from them in the future! I loved the croissant pastry for the scallion pancake danish, and I thought the flavor was unique. There was like a savory vegan cream cheese filling. For sandwiches and other entrees, you walk to the back and there’s a bar/diner called Mekelburgs. They have vegan items from Guevera’s and also their own menu options that aren’t all vegan. I was told I could order pastries from this diner too if I just wanted to make a single transaction. I got the breakfast torta, which was hefty and delicious. All the staff was also friendly and helpful!

Super fun pink vibes at this grab n go location! There is seating but it mostly a spot for takeout coffee and vegan treats! Staff are very kind and friendly too. Most pastries are sweet but they have a bacon egg and cheese croissant for $9. It’s a great café to grab a quick coffee and snack and then head to Domino Park to enjoy it. Staff are always very kind and friendly too.

Truly delicious specialty lattes, the Salted Maple and Cookie Butter lattes were incredible. The Vegan BEC croissant was so savory and salty, it was a much needed breakfast treat! The interior is so bright and fun, and filled with amazing smelling candles, pet treats and vegan specialty grocery items.

I was missing the pastries from the baker who was previously at Terms of Endearment and was pleasantly surprised to find she is here now!! My new go to spot as I missed her various types of croissants so much (I had the pistachio one and it was incredible) and the staff working were so nice and helpful. yay!

Great to have a lively spot with tons of vegan options! Loved the skinny fries. Wished there was a protein in the pozole but it tasted great. Service was awesome and trivia night a blast! Cool that it's Guevara's/mekelburgs combo experience.

This woman & trans owned cafe/plant shop/grocery store is 100% vegan with cute vibes. 🥪 Torta milanesa: crispy eggplant, refried black beans, purple cabbage slaw, avocado, cherry peppers and guac - omg this is the best vegan sandwich I’ve had in NYC! Its loaded, every flavor is distinct and the bread is soft. Yes it’s messy but that’s why you eat at home when no one is watching 😅 I would love to try their breakfast torta next time. Definitely a cool spot worth checking out in the area. 😍

Such great vegan food. Love the hip and trendy vibe as well. Had the breakfast sandwich and looking forward to trying other items. The leche donut was amazing. If they’re on DeliverZero I’ll def order all the time!!

Came here w/friends last night for the first time. Cool vibe and lovely people staffing this place. Great cocktails. I got the guacamole w/plantain chips ($16). The serving size of the guacamole was maybe 4 tablespoons (no more than one small avocado). I almost sent it back thinking maybe they made a mistake. Plantain Chips were tasty. The Jalepeno popper had a good spicy sauce, albeit two bite sized portions ($14). I would not pay those kinds of prices for such small food portions again. You can buy a generous meal for $30. This is a good spot for cocktails.

Went to Guevara’s to try out their much praised vegan Torta Milanesa (Mexican sandwich) which is loaded with black beans, purple cabbage, tomato, avocado, peppers and breaded eggplant. It definitely was a satisfying sandwich (not cheap though at $14 plus tax & tip) but I found the bread to be a bit stale. It’s a great addition to the vegan cafe scene in Brooklyn and I’ll definitely be back to try their sweet pastries (donuts, croissants) and empanadas. Also want to add that the decor of the shop is beautiful - in addition to food & coffee, you can buy plants and a few other things here. Great outdoor space during the warmer months.

Cute place - yummy vegan eggplant Torta! Had high expectations for the guava & “cheese” empanada but wasn’t impressed. Would def go back! Plants looked healthy but I forgot to do a price check!

Had the breakfast torta and the BEC sandwiches! They were pretty good but could use a little seasoning. Their chocolate babka is amazing and would highly recommend! The service is great, would recommend visiting!

Small spot for vegan pastries and drinks! Limited space but you can sit at the bar that is connected with. Slightly pricy in general. Im not vegan but their pastries were good surprisingly. Coffee menu was outstanding and creative as well. 🧁✨Gingerbread coffee muffin was delicious than my expectations! It was moist in the middle and crunchy on the top. The flavor was good and no oily smell. Croffle was a little bit oily for me, but the texture was good. Drinks were good as well, coffee from Oslo with their special flavors. A little bit pricy tho.

My hubby and I were looking for something vegan to eat late night and came upon this spot. Guevara's is in the heart of Williamsburgs Southside, which has definitely come a long way. The place is super cute, and the vibe is super chill! The staff and owner are very friendly and it's easy to see why this place is so popular. Atmosphere, location and service were top notch, but the vegan food sad to say, not so good! The cauliflower wings and chili cheese baked potato looked like slop. The Tortas melanesa was kind of all over the place, stacked very high, and was very messy. The flavors were overpowering and all over the place. I would rethink the menu. Sorry to say, the food was not worth the price!

Second time there. It’s such a beautiful place! Love the plants and love the vibe. The staff is super friendly and everything it nicely kept up. Got the torta Milanesa, BEC, and also a dish called “plantain Picadillo” Would recommend going there for pastries, coffee drinks, the plants and ambience. But the food was lacking in flavor from the first time I went a few months ago. The BEC and torta were okay. The most disappointing was the plantain dish, the plantain was hard and sooo over cooked that it turned into rubber unable to eat really. yucca chips with the black bean spread was good but wasn’t worth the price. Overall 3.5 stars

I really liked this place. The decor was nice, there was cool merchandise & the food was really good! I would say, however, that the place was not very hygienic. I could see the cooks touching their faces/mouth with their gloves when they were cooking. Leaning over the prep workspace and resting their heads on their gloves. Not a good practice when handling food.

Sent me tostadas without avocado, not sure how they could have forgotten the most important part of the dish

This review is for the coffee shop in there. $8.42 for the worst ice latte I've ever had. Terrible. They do not know how to use an espresso machine. And way overpriced.
