Pleasant - Edit
Pleasant experience but wouldn’t go back in a hurry. The scrambled tofu was ok, but I thought the addition of celery was odd as I can think of many other vegetables that would’ve paired better with it. The toast came without vegan butter to spread on which was odd. For what I paid I reckon it wasn’t worth it. The coffee (soy flat white) was ok but the milk was a bit bubbly and I’ve had better. It’s alright but probably won’t be back sorry.

Poor quality - Edit
The chocolate cake was likely the most stale thing I have been served in years, if not ever. It was hard as a rock as though it had been sitting out for a week. I chipped off one bite (no exaggeration; it was hard as a rock), ate it, and took it back. They offered to refund my money or take something else, and I opted to try the carrot cake, which thankfully wasn’t as stale but by no means would I call it good. Perhaps the most disappointing thing is that they didn’t seem concerned about the chocolate cake and seemed to have every intention of serving the rest. I cannot in good conscience recommend going here.

Cosy - Edit
I don't really remember much of this place besides it looking and feeling cosy - it is on the second floor of a building and if you sit by the window, you can see out onto the street. It was cool.
Read moreI had a berry smoothie or juice and a tofu burger. Both items were fine - nothing that memorable though.

Cute cafe, nice vibes - Edit
The staff are nice and understand the vegan requirements well. Offer almond or soy milk for coffees. It’s hidden upstairs, look out for the sign at the front. A nice view of Vulcan Lane from the window seats. Food was tasty and lots of options. Also options in the cabinet for a few vegan desserts.

Cons: Might be hard to spot if you haven’t been before

Amazing sandwiches - Edit
This place makes really good sandwiches. They are decent portions and quite flavourful. The fresh juices are also great. I miss when their sandwiches came with an amazing sweet and tangy green looking sauce though.

Full of flavour - Edit
Really wasn't expecting their sandwiches to be so delicious! The ingredients are humble but the tofu especially is marinated with so much flavour. Very good portion sizes for the price as well. Definitely recommend for grabbing a quick lunch here.

Good - Edit
I had the falafel plate, it was quite tasty. The fresh fruit juice was very good. Also the veggie cakes were nice to eat. Very friendly staff. The place was spacious and when I visited only a few people were still eating so it was very peaceful.

Amazing!! - Edit
Wow really yummy recipes all vegetarian food should taste this good!! Great location overlooking Vulcan lane & nice decor. Menu slightly dated circa 1990s (think carb heavy, spirulina drinks etc). Service can be patchy obviously is just a business not a passion for the new owners. Still a must check out for vege heads! :)

Nice big breakfasts - Edit
Not sure if I'd call their food all 'healthy' (and it's certainly not raw). Went here twice for breakfast and had a big plate of scrambled tofu and juice of the day. Great juiices and quite decent food.
Read moreThey also have a big salad bar which looked quite good. Service is a bit uninterested but passable.
Only downside is that the non-vegan breakfast is about twice as big for only a few $ more. Is it that hard to find a vegan sausage and potato to make a big kiwi vegan breakfast?
Pros: Nice food
Cons: Vegetarians have more options and larger plates

Hidden yummy healthy options - Edit
This place is great, there are some vegan options mostly bread, tofu and avocado.
Read moreThey have a good juice selection and the staff is super friendly.
Do also grab a self service salad bowl if you can.
A bit on the expensive side.
The entrance is next to the bar, going up the stairs.
Pros: Great food, Great staff
Cons: Hidden, A bit expensive

Nice food! - Edit
It was not very noticeable from the street as the stairs that lead up to the cafe ware between two other busy cafes. Food was really tasty! We had the big veggie breakfast, baked potato and a vegetable pie. Everything was delicious and the staff were also friendly. Recommend it!

Tasty food but a bit overpriced - Edit
Came here during my trip to Auckland. The food was great however for how basic my meal was I was a little shocked at the price. Maybe it's an Auckland thing?
Read moreHeaps of Vegan friendly options and my vegetarian friend loved it too.
Great views to enjoy whilst you're eating.
I'll definitely be heading back here next time I visit!

A cute breakfast/lunch spot - Edit
I visit this place every time I go to Auckland and love it. It has a view over Vulcan Lane so if you sit by the window you can people watch while you eat.
Read moreTheir cooked food is very good and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. I love their salad dressing, it's very unique and tangy. They marinate their tofu well and it's very flavorful. Desserts are also very nice here and worth trying.
I do think it is a bit overpriced though, and sometimes the juice is half froth from juicing (even though you pay for the full glass).
Updated from previous review on 2018-01-12
Pros: Nice cooked meals, food tastes very fresh, filling
Cons: A tad pricey, glass of juice is half froth from juicing, busy around lunch so waiting time may be long

Big brekkie fix - Edit
I like going there for breakfast, it's quite quiet, and I like sitting at the window watching the movement on Vulcain lane underneath. Scrambled tofu is my go-to dish (but if you hate celery you might want to choose something else!).

love the pita pocket - Edit
I stopped here several times and love the vegan pita pocket. Savory and sweet. It is a different falafel filling, but very tasty. The Elvis juice was food. the new kale smoothie, not so much. the oreo looking cookie was not good, but the chocolate cake was amazing. friendly staff and free wifi.

Garish and disappointing - Edit
This cafe reminds me of a generic small town cafe taking advantage of a lack of competitors to get away with being generally bad. Only it's in central Auckland!
Read moreThe atmosphere of the place was awful, with bright orange and dark navy blue walls. If it was cosy or kitschy I could have forgiven that, but it wasn't.
They had a fairly generic selection of vegan or could-be-vegan food items (most of which involved cooked things, clashing wildly with the suggestion in their name that it would be raw.) Both what I and my friend ordered were boring and bland, things I could have easily thrown together in my kitchen with little thought or effort. The juice I got was fine, although it was humorously the same colour as the wall.
I won't be going back.
Pros: lots of options
Cons: boring and even bad food, terrible atmosphere
