Baobab House - Cape Coast

I was in Baobab Guest House for 3 nights and ate breakfast and lunch here most days. The menu is completely vegetarian and offers a variety of vegan options. Would highly recommend the vegan pancakes with brown sugar and cinnamon, so delicious! It has a beautiful atmosphere, and both areas of the restaurant (one inside the hostel) have a view of the sea.

Baobab is set in the heart of idyllic Cape Coast, with outdoor seating on a shaded patio to give you a view while you eat. The food is good quality, with quite a variety of Ghanaian and international dishes (though some weren't available when I went--this is West Africa, after all! . There's a heavy emphasis on moringa, which they claim to have 7 times the Vitamin C of oranges and high in protein. Most of the items are vegan, and they told me that if I wanted an item that wasn't listed as vegan, they'd usually be able to make it vegan. Be careful with the bill--they overcharged me, but I think it was an honest mistake. I uploaded pics of the menu so you can see some of the creative dishes they have (and some dishes that you wouldn't normally find outside of West Africa . I definitely recommend!

Baobab House is the vegan friendly alternative to Asasse Pa in Cape Coast, although it also has vegetarian items. They offer a variety of appetizers such as tofu and wheat kebabs (with moringa sprinkled on top if you are gluten free, the tofu kebabs tend to be sold out after Monday), yam balls, mini pizzas slices(a bit pricey for the size), battered eggplant fillets (a bit oily by itself but good on a sandwich), and a mixture of vegan and vegetarian deserts. The main menu is mostly vegetarian, but if you request, some of the items can be made vegan. They also have a shop where you can buy some of the art crafts made by the children of their not for profit trade school. Although they have German volunteers working, you may at times be served by children from their not for profit trade school (for the purpose of them gaining business experience not child labor). The location is conveniently located by Melcoms (one of Ghana 's major shopping stores), quite a few banks, the art strip, bus station, and the Cape Coast dungeon.

The restaurant, which is part of a children's foundation, serves vegetarian and vegan cuisine on a small terrace. Their fresh fruit juices, many of which include Moringa, and their cakes, such as banana cakes and coconut rolls, are delicious. The quality and originality of the main dishes can vary. Guests can mix and match side dishes like yam or rice balls with vegetables, tofu, and classic Ghanaian dishes like red red or peanut soup. The selection of vegetables is somewhat limited, mostly consisting of cabbage and carrots, and some dishes are intermittently unavailable. The young staff is still in training and may come across as shy at times. The restaurant also has a shop that sells fair trade clothing, bags, cosmetics, and food items.

Baobab Vegetarian Moringa Restaurant in Cape Coast is a unique dining spot that caters to both vegetarians and vegans. While there are some restaurants in the area that can accommodate vegan travelers, Baobab is the go-to spot for delicious vegan dishes. Located near the historic castle in Cape Coast, it is a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Previous reviewers have praised the restaurant for its tasty vegan options, confirming that the food lives up to its reputation.
