Where Healthy Meets Heavenly

Tasted: Annie Eatery & Sweetery

Living the green life gets a decadent twist at ANNIE eatery & sweetery, where plant-based dishes with bold flavours make you forget this is just “healthy” food.

Driven by her passion for crafting vegan and gluten-free desserts for her loved ones, vegan pastry chef and owner Anna, with more then 15 years of experience, has built a successful café and pastry chain with four locations on the island – Lamai, Central Festival Samui, Fisherman Village, and Thong Krut Pier. Nowadays, ANNIE eatery & sweetery focuses on a healthy and vegan menu for daily meals.

On our visit, we chose the conveniently located Central Festival Samui café, where a breezy Bali bungalow-style design matches dishes zinging with fresh produce – truly sunshine on a plate. While 90% of the menu features 100% plant-based delights, the other 10% showcases several delectable dishes with fresh fish and eggs – options that will delight even the pickiest of healthy food lovers. It’s the perfect spot for friends with different dietary preferences to gather.

As sweet-toothed foodies on a mission, we dove spoon-first into a tall glass of Chunky Monkey – a dreamy blend of frozen bananas, coconut milk, chocolate sauce, and homemade peanut butter. Crowned with a cloud of coconut whipped cream, this treat walks a delicious line between drink and dessert.

If smoothie bowls are your passion, the Love Strawberry Bowl will make you swoon. The sunny mix of strawberries and bananas topped with crunchy signature granola, chia seeds, almond flakes, and banana and strawberry slices tantalises with smooth and crunchy textures in every bite.

For those craving a hearty, savoury start to their day, the Brekkie Vegan Plate delivers in sumptuous style. Think scrambled tofu, baked potatoes, pan-charred mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, fresh greens, and toasted sourdough bread, all tied together with a drizzle of herbaceous pesto sauce.

Or the Magic Shrooms Wrap, which comes loaded with mushrooms, vegan cheese, carrot, beetroot, and fresh greens – perfect for anyone craving a meaty texture minus the animal products. Pair the wrap with a bowl of Creamy Pumpkin Soup, rich with the velverty sweetness of pumpkin and coconut milk, for a comforting combo.

For a sweeter breakfast treat, the Gluten-Free Pancakes Cuties Bi Bi offer a recipe for guilt-free indulgence with fluffy chickpea pancakes topped with tangy strawberry jam.

Looking for the perfect blend of health and hedonism on Samui? Head to one of ANNIE eatery & sweetery’s cafés and discover how vibrant, bold, and satisfying vegan cuisine can be!
