Coraje's croissants are laminated daily with vegan butter, producing layers that crack when you bite in. The dough is tender and just slightly crispy on the outside. Each croissant is a small architectural marvel — a point of pride for the bakery. Perfect with a coffee.
Tips from diners
Arrive before 1pm — the croissants sell out by mid-afternoon.
Warm, tender cinnamon buns made with vegan butter and swirled generously with cinnamon sugar. A light glaze finishes the top. They're still warm when you order them in the afternoon. These are a comforting treat and a reliable afternoon indulgence.
Tips from diners
Ask if they just came out of the oven — eating them warm is the whole point.
A savory pastry roll swirled with vibrant pesto, filled with roasted vegetables and a rich sauce. The exterior is crispy, the interior soft and flavorful. This is a lunch-time favorite — filling, satisfying, and portable.
Tips from diners
Pair with a fresh juice — Coraje makes excellent cold-pressed juices to complement the richness of the pastries.
Coraje's house sourdough is toasted until golden, then topped with scrambled tofu that's seasoned and flavored like scrambled eggs, fresh avocado, and a scatter of fresh herbs. A satisfying savory breakfast or lunch that doesn't feel like a compromise.
Tips from diners
Add a squeeze of fresh lime over the avocado — it brightens the whole plate.
A silky eggplant emulsion made with roasted eggplant and plant-based cream. Served with perfectly ripe avocado, sautéed mushrooms, and slices of Coraje's house bread. The combination of textures and flavors is complex and satisfying. A popular light lunch.
Tips from diners
This is communal-style — perfect for slowing down and enjoying the flavors over 45 minutes.
Coraje is a fully vegan restaurant and bakery located inside a pedestrian food market in El Poblado. The tiny space features both indoor and cozy outdoor seating.

The staff is super friendly and will happily chat about their ingredients and preparation methods.
