Ibiza: Passion Café, seaside plant-power

Passion Café have a must-visit chain of plant-based cafés across Ibiza.

The focus is on vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic and raw cuisine. We tried a couple of their cafés, but our favourite by far was the one in Santa Eulalia.  Why? The location by the sea made it very special and it was quieter and more tranquil than the one we checked out by the marina. In fact the setting was so magical we visited two days in a row.



The setting

Wrapped round by sea views, palm trees and a cool Mediterranean breeze. Passion Café is a gem of a Glowcation.

Inside it is bright and spacious with whitewashed wooden walls and benches with pretty leafy patterned cushions. There are flowers dotted on the marble tables. The large outside terrace has rattan chairs and wooden tables. The vibe is relaxed and holiday like.

The little things

Passion source locally grown and organic produce as much as possible.

The green juice test

Passion are known for their freshly made juices and their best selling green is Super Detox a blend of cucumber, celery, spinach, lemon, apple and ginger. They also offer Protein Shakes, Superfood Smoothies and Bliss Smoothies! We couldn’t resist the Superfood Protein Shake – a mix of banana, maca, chai, mango, goji berries, bee pollen, hemp, raw protein powder and almond milk. Topped off with coconut shavings, berries, nuts and honey.

What else?

They have six locations on the island. Plus they have a  Passion Pantry-a bio shop and a Passion Juicery.

What we ate

We had a Spiritual Quinoa Bowl with added egg- a mix of quinoa, rice, avocado, broccoli and pumpkin. Then a  Buddha Bowl featuring pumpkin, avocado, cabbage, rice, broccoli, almonds and marinated tempeh and tofu.

To finish we had a Turkish Delight Latte made with beetroot powder, agave, rose water and almond milk and a Back To Black Latte – charcoal, cashew milk and agave. Delicious!
