“ Hands down one of the best vegan/vegetarian cafés in France. With a lovely setting under an old plane tree, the friendliest waiters and exquisite freshly prepared food, it was love from first sight (and bite). The lunch & dessert menu changes every week and the chef’s creativity really shines through these original meals. Pretty much everything either is or can be made vegan. The vegan pancakes from the breakfast menu (this one is permanent) are an absolute must try! ”
“ Vegetarian restaurant with a ton of delicious vegan options. We stayed in Aix en Provence for a couple of days and we first came here for dinner. Mushroom burger was delicious and flavorful. Service was excellent. Very nice staff. We came back the next morning for breakfast. I ordered vegan pancakes and let me tell you they were better than any pancake I’ve ever had. Fluffy, delicious, I still think about those pancakes. They have nice vegan desserts too. 10/10 ”
“ Delicious breakfast and super tasty Cappuccino. Really great! We got recommendation for this place from the guys who are working in Mana cafe (cappuccino also great there). They use beans from Mana cafe. Good luck ”
“ Café du temps is a vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurant/café. It was a lucky day for me because most of the dishes on the menu were vegan including desserts. Looks like the menu keeps changing. I ordered the galette libanaise along with a citronnade (lemon). I must say that the falafels in my main course were not too oily as served in other food joints. I loved the fries served with the dish. They were the true version of French fries with potato skin, cooked perfectly. The lemonade was just perfect, not too sweet. For desserts, I had the mousse and it was extremely light. I loved the texture and the taste. It was a bit sweeter for my taste; however, I am not complaining because I had a wholesome meal there, on a Sunday afternoon, without reservation. I paid about €31 for the drink , main dish and the dessert. The café has an outdoor seating for those who came to eat lunch. You might have to sit inside if you are there just for a cup of coffee. I am not sure, guess it depends on the rush. ”
“ A classic French café with a large outdoor seating area. They serve food all day and we had a small breakfast of potato rostis and a cinnamon bun (vegan) which both tasted amazing but we could have easily just sat there all day. Service was quick and friendly ”
“ Café de Temps is a beautiful place, especially with its seating under the old chestnut trees in the old town. The team was really friendly. The cappuccino wasn’t the best I ever had, but it was good. Coffee aficionados would surely appreciate having hand-brew filter coffee in addition to the machine options. Later in the day the choice of food was limited to a few sweets, but the breakfast selection looked very appealing (even though I didn’t try it this time). Would love to come back to try that :) ”
“ Hearty, yummy, fresh-tasting food here! We loved it so much that we ate here twice in 3 days. You can tell the folks put in heart and effort into curating the seasonal menus would definitely come back the next time! ”
“ We came as a group from England and had delicious food! The staff were super friendly and the food was paradise - the tastes were exceptional - and to top it off, vegan! I look forward to coming back again next trip. ”
