What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ikaro Cafe is highly praised for its extensive and delicious vegetarian and vegan offerings, artisanal coffee, and vibrant, bohemian atmosphere. Diners rave about the fresh, locally sourced ingredients, generous portions, and the unique fusion cuisine. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a minor note mentioned a potentially uncomfortable dog in one instance and a reviewer found the Pad Thai slightly too sour.
"Lots of healthy food options here! The pad Thai we tried was a bit too sour for our taste, but the shawarma was really good. We sat outside on a busy street — perfect spot for people-watching while enjoying your meal.

"Good ice Bailey's coffee and paired with Lava cake serve warm. Great for a quick stop after a hot afternoon walk from the beach side. Interior is good very relax love the settings were costumers can pick a seating area by the street or inside the table or next to the window. Love the old coffee machine that was converted into table. Wish I could visit this place again in the future. For tourist they only accept local money and if paying by credit card there is a minimum purchase amount of 30,000 Colombian money."

"This is THE place you want to go if you're vegetarian, vegan or if you want to discover new flavors. I went there with my family for dinner and it was so so good we returned next day for lunch. We all loved it, even the non-vegetarian ones. Everything I tried was delicious, but my favorite was the dragon burger and the cauliflower steak. I would go back 1000 times if I had my way. They also sell packs of whole bean specialty coffee, nut butter and cacao beans. I absolutely loved this place, super recommended ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
