Vegan Monarch Bakery & Café

Firstly, the warm welcome and hospitality we received made V&M an instant favorite. The food and drinks were outstanding. We had the iced coffee, green and orange juices, chocolate and cookie butter donuts, avocado toast, and breakfast burrito. The donuts were the best we have ever had. The main courses were mouth watering delicious. I would make a special trip to Winter Haven just to eat at V&M Bakery.

A rare find in any town is a vegan cafe! We visited on a Saturday late morning and enjoyed the calzone and Buddha bow and, of course, juice! Everything is made fresh as you order it so take time to relax and enjoy some juice while you wait. There are so many incredible healthy choices from dessert to entrees. You can’t go wrong. We enjoyed a more fruity juice but will definitely try others. I will be a repeat customer. The owner was so kind and very friendly. Her staff were knowledgeable and helpful. It’s a quaint place with lots of great healthy food.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My husband and I tried the donuts and cinnamon rolls. They were delicious. They were gluten free and celiac friendly. I have celiac and it was very reassuring to know that the majority of the menu is safe for me. The owner was super informative and aware of my needs. My husband who is not celiac said he couldn’t even tell the difference in the ingredients. We will definitely be back!

I had to find something to do for an hour and finally decided to head to V&M after liking all their posts on social media for the longest 😂

I ordered two beef and cheese empanadas and an Oreo and peanut butter donut with a cucumber green drink and when I say NAILEDDDD IT! I was in the car giggling like a child 😭 10/10

I will be coming back often to try everything off the menu :)
I have a birthday coming up and very excited to get my first vegan birthday cake !

Thank you so much for making my first visit wonderful!

I am so happy to see a Vegan Cafe in my old hometown. I had the chance to try it out earlier this month and I was not disappointed. So welcoming and great food. I wish I was still living in town so I could go back again and again!

Amazing find. Was here for a week visiting and she made us some awesome special treats. First time I've had gluten free vegan soft pretzels and they were amazing. Ordered lots of things ad every single item was amazing. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Florida.

I ordered fresh carrot juice, Haitian legume, and two slices of cake! All delicious. The atmosphere is work friendly. The owner is super sweet. Good quality tasty food!

Lala is amazing! She is so kind, warm and welcoming. The food was phenomenal! I had the avacado toast and an iced coffee. Highly recommend!!

My respect for this place could not be any higher. As someone with celiac, I have to have gluten-free options and this place emphasizes the safety of their food preparation. Not only are they mostly gluten-free, but also have great vegan options.

You can tell this food is cooked from the heart. The amount of comfort it provides allows you to take a deep breathe and relax while enjoying the vibes of the restaurant. The ladies here were so nice and interact so kindly with the customers. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes food.

Consistently one of the tastiest and friendliest restaurants we ever visit. Not only is there an incredible list of vegan options for meals, but there’s also some of the best desserts you’ll ever have, vegan or not. 5 stars every single time!

My husband and I had childcare for the first time in a while and came here for dinner and dessert. We found it on Google cause we need vegan and gluten free. We've been to a whole lot of vegan places around the country and I can honestly say this one was absolutely incredible, one of the best I've ever had. The taste was amazing, both the meal and dessert! Plus the atmosphere and people serving us were so kind and made us feel instantly comfortable. We will definitely be back! With the kids next time cause they'll be so excited about the dessert and baked goods. 🙂

A vegan friend comes here every time he’s in town & brought my twin and I out to eat with him. We got samples of Legume, some Thai (I think) chicken & rice and also some tea. I ended up choosing lasagna & I had lemon grass/mint tea. Everything we tasted was really good!! The lasagna tasted like regular lasagna & the Italian sausage was perfect. The staff was really welcoming & friendly and they made sure we were well taken care of. If you’re looking for really good vegan GO HERE!!💗

How awesome to have amazing restaurant food like this + a bakery!!!
Everything we tried was espetacular! Quesadilla, meat loaf and the best lasagna we ever tried. For deserts we got churros, cherrie cheesecake and my favorite; a blueberry French toast strudel.
We drove from Tampa and already can’t wait to go back and try more things!

The reviews were fantastic and they did not lie. We had the lasagna and the cabbage carrot stew .. both were so fresh and full of flavour. I wanted to lick the plate! Both had the perfect balances of spices so they didn't overpower each other, the portions were perfect and we didn't feel over full. It's a small place that you must visit to experience some of the best vegan food in Florida!

From the moment I stepped into Vegan Monarch Bakery & Cafe & Juice Bar, I was met with an explosion of tantalizing tastes and an ambiance of warmth. Each dish is a testament to the art of plant-based cuisine, brimming with creativity and full of robust flavor. Contrary to what some might assume about vegan food, there's nothing bland or boring on this menu. In fact, the depth and richness of flavors had me questioning if I was truly eating meatless dishes!

Moreover, the owner stands out not only for their culinary prowess but also for the wealth of knowledge they generously share. Engaging in a conversation with them is a delight, making the dining experience all the more memorable.

I strongly urge even the most dedicated meat-eaters to give this place a try. Vegan Monarch might just surprise you and broaden your culinary horizons. A definite must-visit!

The food is to die for. Fresh & beautifully made. & super sweet owner.

What a fantastic vegan restaurant! I loved everything I tried and the space in a cool old building in downtown Winter Garden is super neat. Mika was a kind host and wonder chef :-)

BEST VEGAN PLACE! We were absolutely shocked at how delicious everything here was. We tried the Legumes over Rice, Chik'n and Waffles, Beef Empanada, Donuts and Pizza Rolls. Every bite was amazing. Definitely coming back and HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!

The best place on earth. We came for the bakery and they had so much more! I haven't had Chicken and Waffles in so long because there is just not good food like that for vegans and vegetarians. Eating here was like not even being vegan. The service was also great! 😊

This place has delicious vegan food. I really enjoyed the quesadilla vegan meal, and the cinnamon bon was perfect. I even tried the nachos that my brother ordered and it was good! This is a family own business and the staff are friendly, upbeat, and very hardworking. For vegan lovers or foodie, I highly recommend this place!!!
