Liefs Tulum - Plant-Based Café

Liefs Tulum is a four-time Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award-winning plant-based café located on Avenida Coba. Founded in 2019 by Thomas and Fem Massink, the business operates out of two repurposed green-and-white VW vans and a lush terrace, serving as a hub for conscious comfort cuisine. The menu features high-protein, flavorful dishes designed to convert skeptics, including their signature Cafe Espuma (coconut milk foam coffee), the Buff Burrito, and the Sourdough BLT. Beyond the food, Liefs is deeply committed to a zero-waste philosophy, composting all scraps and using 100% biodegradable packaging. The founders also run Rancho Verde, a nearby zero-waste jungle sanctuary offering Airbnb stays and realignment retreats, extending their mission of creating a kinder world one meal at a time.
