Playful vegan cafe with adoptable cats, city views, and affordable comfort-food plates; great cause, occasional service delays and early closing times.
Vegattos delivers solid neighborhood dining with appealing vegan comfort food and memorable skyline views that justify the climb to the eighth floor. However, quality varies between visits and service lapses including missed orders and slow delivery prevent grade A-level reliability. The adoptable cats and affordable pricing create genuine charm, making it worth visiting for casual meals despite operational inconsistencies.
Finding the entrance feels like a secret—buzz up to the eighth floor and step into a sunlit room where cats roam calmly and volunteers offer toys to help you make furry friends. Diners talk about the unexpected skyline outlook toward landmarks and staff who are warm and helpful, though waits can stretch when it gets busy. One visitor summed it up simply: "City views, friendly cats, and vegan treats—worth the climb." The cooking leans plant-based comfort over flash: tacos al pastor with seitan, quesabirria with broth, and hot cakes for breakfast, all priced kindly for the neighborhood. It is homey and satisfying rather than experimental, which suits casual lunches and daytime dates. A few guests found seasoning swings or slow tickets, but most praised the flavors and the mission to fund adoptions. For families, it is an easy yes. Kids gravitate to pancakes and fries, simple burgers, and sweet treats like house ice cream. Note the early closing hours—this is more lunch-and-snack than late dinner—and cats are part of the space, so allergy-sensitive visitors should plan accordingly.
