Las Vegan is a lovely small cafe/bakery. They have a big menu with obviously plenty to choose from for vegans. The staff is friendly, their dishes are very affordable. I've had a great vegan fish 'n chips there. I would really recommend this place if you visit Melbourne. They also have a lot of interestion reading material, and cupcakes!
Pros: Affordable, Excellent food, Friendly staffI tried a burrito and a muffin - both very delicious. The staff was very friendly and i will eat here again. Check the specials before you order - they are not in the menue.
Pros: Very delicious food, Friendly staff, Big portionHad a wonderful meal tonight as Las Vegan. We ordered the Sloppy Pete (yummy mince over chips) and nachos. Both were really good. Feel the need to rave about the nachos - they were awesome! The cakes were delectable too. This is a place I'll definitely want to come back to next time I'm in Melbourne.
Pros: delicious, great staff, great atmosphereIt wasn't really a bakery as I know it. I was expecting a variety of baked treats and such, but they only had brownies, muffins and some cupcakes. The muffin was quite good and I'm disappointed I wasn't able to get a brownie because I was too full. I wouldn't classify it as bakery, it's more of a cafe.
The food was really good, however they were out of some of the things I wanted to try.
The hours are a little strange and if you don't write them down you might end up at the door when it's closed. So double check the hours before you go.
All in all a good place and I will definitely go back when I return to Melbourne next month.
Pros: Nice Staff, Brownies!, good priceWe were nervous about heading over to Las Vegan since the new owners took over, but made the hike anyway.
With trepidation we sat outside, wanting to keep away from watchful eyes in case we were disappointed.
As soon as one of the owner's popped out, all smiles and warmth we knew we were in luck.
The new owners are lovely, the food is brilliant, and they've played around with specials that make me want to move closer so I could sneak off for my lunch breaks and devour calzones and raw cashew cream!!
Love it there.
well pretty mcuh sums it up in my title, there's not much bad to say about this place. The meal sizes are HUGE and i always take an extra long lunch break just so i can chill out there. I hope soon they can do take away meals :)
vegans forget mains just go straight for the muffins. we have found it hard to find a good vegan cake in australia until we came here, nice moist and light.
Pros: muffins, muffins, muffinsLoved that this little place was so friendly and cheerful and the food lovely and fresh. Enjoyed fresh juice and tasty burgers. Yes, definelty vegan heaven in vegan land (Smith Street). Had to walk and return to have the cupcakes!
Pros: Friendly, Fresh, RelaxedI'm lucky that this is my local! Great for vegans and non vegans alike, dishes are around $10 for a good feed, plus the cakes are delicious. Chai is on tap with free refills too! Service can be slow (which sucks when you're on a 45 minute lunch break) but the food is worth the wait.
Pros: Delicious food, Good value, Friendly staffA cosy little vegan nirvana. The menu is largely made up of calzones, burgers and salads, all of which are good, fresh and tasty.
The tofu and tempeh chip salad is a favourite of mine, and it's nice to see chunks of tempeh put to good flavoursome use. Of all the burgers, the faux chicken shnitzel burger warrants a special mention for it's amazing texture - worth trying for that alone. And the chips are delicious if you're hungry - chunky and with the skins still on.
A main with side salad or chips will come to around the $10 mark, but make sure you save room for sweets, as the muffins and vanilla slice are awesome. There's also all you can drink chai (with Bonsoy soy milk) for $3.50.
Nice laid back, homely atmosphere. I always find it nearly impossible to pass up Las Vegan when I'm in the neighbourhood and, if it weren't for the short opening hours, I probably wouldn't eat anywhere else.
Pros: Good value, Everything on the menu is greatNice little place - all veg and tasty. My husband and I love coming to this side of town...also Trippy Taco a few doors down, also a great Ethiopian restaurant close-by too that have veg options. Great vegan cakes made on the premises. All up a great place for veg food.
Pros: friendly staff, excellent foodWe stopped in for lunch while on vacation in Nov 2009. We showed up just before the lunch rush and the little place got quite full. We ordered the potato and TVP calzones to start. They seemed more like baked pierogies to us, but they were quite tasty. We shared a faux chicken schnitzel burger with a gourmet salad (which was quite gourmet indeed!). I washed it all down with a large glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Yum! We took the sour cherry and banana muffins to go. Definitely check the place out!
Pros: tasty and freshYUM YUM YUM YUM YUM. This is now one of my favourite places in Melbourne. Absolutely scrumptious - with great baked goods, and yummy eat in options as well. I had their Thai mock chicken burger and it was fantastic, with good texture and sauce. Their fries are some of the best I've had anywhere - fresh cut with big chunks. And their muffins are amongst the best I've had in the world. The Sour cherry is to die for. This place just rocks!
Pros: EverythingI love Las Vegan, I love it...it is my favourite vegan haunt in Melbourne, I am regular partaker in the rice balls and the tempeh/tofu salad.
Fresh, fresh, fresh...that's the best way to describe the tasty treats on offer at this place.
It is famous for it's baked delights also. I always have a muffin, at the least to take away, for munching on the following day.
For vegans visiting Melbourne it's a must visit place. Especially now that they are open late on Thursday and Friday nights.
Pros: Fresh, Healthy, RelaxedGood news for anyone who can't get away at lunch time to eat at Las Vegan, they are now open from 11am to 9pm on Thursday's and Friday's. This is an amazing place, not just for Vegans, but for anyone who places importance on eating the best food that money can buy. Nothing processed here, plenty of organic ingredients (they are the only restaurant in town that serves non-frozen, hand cut organic chips, and they are awesome) and everything (even the organic soup stock) is made from scratch in Las Vegan's own kitchen, except of course for the obvious items such as tofu, tempeh and chicken schnitzels. This place is Melbourne's best known secret, so go there before the hoards discover it, and try one of their amazing Calzone (only $6.00) or Indonesian style Rice Balls with authentic satay sauce ($9.00). Their lentil burgers are melt in the mouth delicious and their salads have more than just salad mix with either too much or a just dribble of dressing. Just one thing, all meals are made to order, so sometimes when the place is rocking you might have to wait a bit longer than you would at your local fast food dive. As they say, good food takes time. So sit back, relax, enjoy the friendly ambiance and prepare for something addictive and unforgettable.
Pros: excellent food, good value, totally veganOnly open few hours but worth the visit, mostly ogranic and all vegan! Great salads, lovely tofu- tvp burgers, rice dishes, pies and calzones. Also really nice hot chips! Chai tea for cheap with soy milk. Speciality of the shop is muffins made in the kitchen, really tasty. Gluten free options, sadly not for the muffins as of yet. Meals around $7-10 for a big serve
Pros: All vegan, small business, variety

oooh I didn't know they did vanilla slice...hmmm will check that out next time!
Sorry for getting your hopes up but, sadly, vanilla slice is no longer available at Las Vegan. A few months after I posted this review, their supplier stopped making them (unlike the muffins, the vanilla slices weren't made in-house by Las Vegan). They've recently changed management though, so maybe the vanilla slice will make a comeback...
Somewhere that you can *occasionally* get vegan vanilla slice is La Panella Bakery in Preston. I've only seen it there a few times though, so you may want to call ahead.
