Avocado On Toast

There were two vegan options that I noticed. A vegan sausage roll and smashed avocado on toast. The avocado on toast was delicious. We also ordered a berry smoothie which the kaimahi (staff) made vegan for us. Thank you. A relaxing spot to sit and my toddler is enjoying the playground next to the cafe.

Pros: Avocado on toast, My toddler was pleased with all the tomato sauce

Hidden surprise

We each got the vegan sausage sandwich and split the smashed avocado toast. The best smashed avocado toast I've had! Cashier was knowledgeable about vegan options.

Good place for lunch

A few vegan options, including cookies. Clearly labelled on the menu. It's generally hard to find a regular cafe with vegan options here so it made my day! Thought it was a bit expensive at first until I saw the size of my wrap! Massive and tasty.

Pros: Vegan options clearly labelled, More than one vegan option, Tasty food

Vegan options close to the beach

Accidentally I saw the put-up hinge that promotes the “vegan tofu wrap”. When I ordered the owner gave me the vegan menu, so be sure to ask for that. The beachside terrace is much more pleasant than the one at the street access side. Friendly and helpful owner! A bit pricey but the location close to Tahunanui Beach is convenient.

Pros: Vegan menu, Vegan desserts, Close to beach

Cons: a bit pricey, not very comfortable
