Van Gough Cafe is one of Baltimore's newest kosher eateries, offering delicious light breakfast and lunch fare at an affordable price. We now carry an entire line of Ice Cream, Sundaes, Cones, Banana Splits, and Brownie Sundaes. Come enjoy our outdoor seating and ice cream! Van Gough Cafe is the brain child of Mindy Alezra, who purchased the 150 year old building in Historic Fells Point.
We are unique, as the first kosher, dine-in family owned restaurant in downtown Baltimore. We create a gourmet assortment of coffee drinks, and carry Baltimore's famous Goldbergs bagels, picked up fresh daily from Pikesville. See our menu for more delicious options! In addition to its classic favorites, panini's and sandwiches, we also offer traditional Jewish food like falafel and knishes.

Vegan cafe offering huge selections of delicious vegan food which is different each day. To top it off the cafe is ethically focused too! be it the no plastic packaging for takeaways, compassion to animals by the vegan food they offer and playing a role to help community being a charity cafe. Very impressive!
The food is very good ( special mention - Sticky toffee pudding) and the staff are helpful and friendly.
The place is super busy so best to reserve before visit.
Highly recommend this place!

The first time I visited this vegan restaurant, I loved their Christmas set menu so I returned to try their normal a la carte menu and was not disappointed. The ‘beef’ pie was delicious and my friend tried his first vegan burger and it was love at first bite! The sticky toffee pudding was a great way to end the meal. Staff are super friendly and made our night.

This is a cozy and community-focused vegan cafe located in a quieter part of Brixton. During my first visit I found it quite warm and welcoming thanks to the staff, who were attentive and thoughtful. The brunch menu offers a variety of breakfast classics (like Full English Breakfast and pancakes). In addition to seating on the main area when you walk in, there is upstairs and outdoor seating. All areas are decorated with plants, which adds to the down-to-earth aesthetic of the cafe.
If you’re planning on working in the cafe do be advised that patrons are permitted to work during the weekdays

Amazing cafe with great service and very ethical. Zero waste and classes are offered here too. The food is delicious - would definitely recommend the sweetcorn fritters and the banh mi. The menu changes depending on day/time so I would also recommend the sausage sarnie and the shakshuka. The interior is really cute and the courtyard is nice and peaceful, especially when there’s good weather.

Such a quaint café. The ambience is very nice. Staff is very friendly and gracious.
The cheeseboard is a must! Couldn’t tell the difference from real cheese particularly the “shamembert” and “veganzola”, and the crackers that went along with it were very tasty as well. This definitely was my favorite thing.
Achari tofu tikka was only okay to me. Personally I found the chutney rather salty and without much other flavor.
The cheesecake was very dense and chocolatey - good if you like that kind of thing. I wasn’t expecting it to be so dense though an thought it was a bit like eating

From the moment we arrived I knew we had found an absolute gem of a place. The building was attractive, the welcome instantly put us at ease and the garden terrace was charming, where we enjoyed fabulous cocktails. The staff couldn't do enough to make us feel welcom and the menu was one of the most interesting we'd seen in a long time. When the food arrived we weren't dissapointed, the aubergine taco starter was great and the chocolate brownie and ice cream was divine. We had an absolutely brilliant evening, thoroughly approve of the social enterprise ethos, the prices were very reasonable and

Absolutely mind blowing experience, from start to finish.
Starting with the venue, it's a beautiful old building with multiple floors and outdoor seating, complete with decor that you'd expect from a cafe with this name. The upstairs features an amazing seating area that is accessible by a spiral staircase reminiscent of one from an old Dutch studio.
My girlfriend and I were warmly greeted by a host of super friendly waitresses (one red haired and one brunette with braids... you know who you are:) and waiters. Immediately we were offered menus and had our drinks order taken. Even on a Friday
