You know those weekend days where you spend hours on your phone, scrolling through feeds… Before you know it, your precious day off has gone by before you even realized it! Of course, you can use the weekends to catch up on some sleep but it’s also a great opportunity for going out to explore your own town. We’ll promise you you’ll feel more refreshed if you step outside and do something offline. That’s why we share weekly offline experiences and hotspots to discover. Isn’t that fun to do on your free Sundays?
This week we’d like to share five of our favorite vegan hotspots in Amsterdam, all in honor of The Conscious Club going completely vegan. Check it out.
1. SLA
If you’ve recently been to Amsterdam, you probably stumbled across one of the SLA locations. This organic salad bar opened back in 2013 and offers a fresh and vegan meal consisting of so much more than lettuce! Here you’ll find delicious soups, bowls, juices or roasted and steamed vegetables.

2. Benji’s
Located in Amsterdam-Oost, you’ll find this urban oasis called Benji’s. Filled with beautiful greens (you know we like that!) and a large menu suitable for breakfast, brunch, & lunch including very diverse dishes from different cuisines. With so many vegan options! Expect acaï bowls, smashed avocado buns, falafel wraps and more.

3. Vegan Junk Food Bar & Kebabi
What, vegan Kebab? Yes! At Kebabi at the Overtoom, you can explore various vegan döners but also baklava, waffle fries or the classic ‘kapsalon’. Café Kebabi is open from 15:00 pm until 01:00 am. If you’re looking for more snack bars with a vegan menu, the Vegan Junk Food Bars are always a great option! Both share the same owner, so we’re sure you will enjoy them.

4. Meatless District
Another chain in Amsterdam, which every vegan should’ve checked out at least once, is Meatless District. Gorgeous summer rolls, delicious burgers filled with grilled eggplant and pickles, fries and even vegan wine will salute you here. Whether it’s for lunch, breakfast, dinner or drinks, the Meatless District will help you out with its 100% vegan menu.

5. Mr. & Mrs. Watson
Is vegan food boring? Nah-uh. At Mr. & Mrs. Watson you’ll be proven wrong if you thought that a vegan diet consists out of salads and avocado. This hotspot will show you that vegan food is comfort food as well. Vegan cheesecake? Check! BLTS with seaweed instead of bacon? Check! Cashew Fondue? Also, check! Make sure you’ll give them a go.

Its aroma is irresistible. So many people cannot imagine starting a day without it. Is coffee flawless in its perfection? Like a modern-day beverage of the Gods... or should we consume it mindfully?
