Guevara's - Reserva de mesa

This review is for the pop up Guevara's inside of Mekelburg's market by Domino Park at 319a Kent Ave, Brooklyn. We've eaten here once after they first opened and twice as take away, I think each time has gotten a little bit better for me as I figure out what I like there. The first time I went they made my vegan chilaquiles with a chicken egg because they didn't seem to have the vegan kitchen up and running yet and were cooking out of the Meckleburg kitchen. But since then I've had the B.E.C. which I liked but don't love the king trumpet bacon because it's hard to chew; the Bagel Lox which was yummy with the vegan cream cheese but didn't love the red pepper lox, and then tried the chilaquile...

Along with Clementine and Izzy Rose, Guevara’s completes the trifecta of vegan establishments all within a stone’s throw of each other in this Clinton Hill micro neighborhood. All three have a fully vegan menu, Instagram ready looks, and plenty of appealing outdoor seating (the latter being obviously critical in Covid times! . While Izzy rose is more of a bar with some food, and Clementine is more of a pastry and sandwich shop, Guevara’s is more of straight up coffee shop with some pastry and light food options. Plus the requisite selection of houseplants, appealingly curated home goods, and a smattering of vegan pantry items. Their blt type breakfast sandwich is pretty good, and just greasy...

I recently visited Guevara's to try their highly recommended vegan Torta Milanesa, a Mexican sandwich filled with black beans, purple cabbage, tomato, avocado, peppers, and breaded eggplant. The sandwich was indeed satisfying, though a bit pricey at $14 before tax and tip. I did find the bread slightly stale. The cafe is a wonderful addition to Brooklyn's vegan scene, and I look forward to returning to sample their sweet pastries (donuts, croissants) and empanadas. The shop's decor is beautiful, and in addition to food and coffee, you can also purchase plants and other items. The outdoor space is especially lovely during warmer months.

Everything I tried in this place so far is yummy! The tortas are great the eggplant sandwich is an explosion of flavors! The deserts are better than non vegan deserts and the cute pinkish purple paint and the rest of the decor are beautiful and have such a vibe also the little trinkets you can buy make it a vegan’s happy place! The plants all over made me so happy and I had to adopt one to bring home! Updated from previous review on 2022-05-27 Reserva una mesa ahora

I ordered a decaf iced coffee with half and half along with a delicious key lime donut, which was my favorite item. It was so good that sharing it was enough for me. I ended up sharing it with my parents, along with the chilaquiles we ordered. For my main dish, I tried the breakfast sandwich, which I highly recommend. My mom opted for the eggplant sandwich on the menu.

The staff is incredibly friendly, the decor is beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried! I highly recommend the dulce de leche donuts, conchas, and chocolate croissants at this restaurant.

Great decor, great ambience, all vegan. And I only tried one thing the eggplant milanesa sandwich. I thought it was very weak, definitely wouldn’t get again. But I would go back to try something else.

The vegan egg and cheese empanada is so good, they do a cocktail hour these days too but I would still go for breakfast and coffee Reserva una mesa ahora
