Classy organics

4 Posted on 03 / 03 / 2012

Pure Wholefoods has a really lovely, classy feel to it. My mother ordered the salad roll - very simple but with fresh, homemade bread and ingredients and plenty of avocado. I ordered the pumpkin risotto. It was very hearty, made with brown rice and came drizzled in a tahini sauce. For dessert, we shared the GF orange-almond cake, which was tasty. While I was waiting for my meal, I had a browse around the grocer area in the back - I spied tempting-looking coconut yoghurt and ice cream, as well as Sydney's own vegan Funky Pies. A great spot for lunch on a sunny day :)

Pros: Organic, Wholesome, Cafe AND grocery
Cons: Expensive grocery items, Not actually veg - some fish

Hip organic place close to beach

Best food we had in Sydney so far. Love the Chai latte with soja milk and honey. Beetroot carrot salad is heavenly fresh. Also had rice balls. Loved the pancakes with fresh fruit.

Little warning, this place is very hip. If you are not hip, you will feel hip when leaving here.

There is also a shop in the back with mouth watering organic food.

When we where here they had a lovely raw lemon pie.

Can be very busy with good weather. Close to the beach and the wharf.

Pure Wholefoods

Being a Northern Beaches local I was very happy to discover Pure Wholefoods & Organics 2 years ago.

With seating inside and out you can choose to take a seat and eat or take away their vegetarian & vegan food.

They have a display at the front of the store with the food available for the day plus a menu on the wall of food made to order. In the display are vegan tofu patties, rice balls, veggie lentil patties, curry tirangles, sushi rolls, cakes, salads, fresh & roasted veggies.

Food on the menu inclues breakfast items such as scrambled eggs or tofu, vegan buckwheat pancakes, tofu burgers, soups & wraps.

There is also a produce section including fruit & veg, their own dips, breads, pasta, cereals, canned goods, soy/rice milks & snacks.

They also make a really good cup of coffee, I love to go in and get a rice milk latte occasionally treat myself to the pancakes served with stewed fruit & maple syrup, yum!.

All the food in the display and on the menu lists the free from ingredients including dairy, nuts, wheat and whether it is vegan or not.

It is often busy but the staff are always friendly and the food is definitely worth it.

Pros: Vegan, Vegetarian, Organic
Cons: Busy, Not just vegan
