SPROUTING SEEDS CAFE & BAKERY, Kalaw

Our favorite spot in Kalaw! Words don't capture it. We are so lucky to have found Sprouting Seeds; great wifi, lovely, healthy food, perfect lazy hangout, beautiful yoga shala. Don't forget to check out the ice cream! It's amazing. What makes this place so incredible...is the people and its mission; the cafe is a social enterprise supporting training for communities in the area in sustainability and natural building. Jim and his family who run the cafe are lovely. Jim went out of his way to help my husband and I; we were unsure of our travels around Shan and Jim offered us advice on our routes, connected us with communities that could help us along our travels, and even rented out high quality mountain bikes we used on our journey. We can't wait to go back! Thank you Sprouting Seeds!More

Lovely garden and warm cafe in the middle of Kalaw

So lovely to have a plant based meal in the middle of our travels. Sprouting seeds is a lovely, warm cafe perfect for a lazy lunch. We loved the food! Jim also rented out these amazing mountain bikes for us (disc breaks, front suspension, the...works) and helped us plot out a really lovely day in the mountains. Loved our visit and hope to return!More

Great food for a good cause

Whilst there is plenty of yummy Shan food to be have in Kalaw, stopping by Sprouting Seeds becomes necessary after a little while when you are craving some fresh salads, delicious veggie dishes and last but not least killer ice cream! Mostly sorbet type, so...refreshing, packed with fresh ingredients. The breakfast is also a particular highlights - the raisin rolls are great, and so is the granola. We had a big group there and everyone loved it! Jim and his team are really doing great work there, feeding the belly and the soul. A great project to support.More

Very friendly and helpful!

We had breakfast at Sprouting Seeds Cafe. The food was really good, especially the ice cream was delicious! After breakfast we rented two mountain bikes to do a half day trip. The bikes were almost new and in really good condition! Jim, the friendly owner...of the place showed as a nice trail and explained us the route in great detail. We highly recommend the place and think it is a great project to help young local people grow!More
