first time but not the last - Edit
Staff very friendly. Service was fast. The burgers were amazing. The bread melted in your mouth and it was hard to believe they were actually vegan. Very tasty and the chips were hand cut and crunchy. Yum

Beautiful setting and tasty food; fast efficient and friendly service - Edit
Great selection of meat-like, meat-free burgers and sides, 3 of which have gluten free alternatives too. Sweet, friendly staff and lovely setting with pretty grounds and tables on verandah as well as inside with aircon. Delicious looking selection of desserts which we will sample next time but this time we were too full. Also samples of various flavours of plant based jerky to try at entrance.

I wish I lived closer!! - Edit
We were greeted with a little chalkboard that quoted "animals are here with us and not for us" so already I knew I'd nade the right choice on picking a place to eat. Gorgeous interior, very relaxed atmosphere. The milkshakes were all delicious, especially the caramel and the halloween chocolate mint! The wait for the food wasn't long at all, considering the place was packed. I ordered the perri perri chick'n burger and I've been fantasising about eating it again ever since. Even better, my vegan boyfriend's non vegan family all ate every scrap on their plates! No complaints at all. Can't wait until we can go back here!
Pros: Vegan heaven
Cons: (( I don't live close enough ))

BONTA VERA IS LIFE - Edit
Best vegan burgers and treats around! The 'big mock' tastes better than a real Big Mac, and it's VEGAN aghh

Fantastic Food! - Edit
Bonta Vera is to my knowledge the 1st and only completely vegan cafe in Newcastle. I love the feeling of being able to order anything off of the menu. The staff are great and the location is really convenient (on the way back home from uni for me). The menu is mainly burgers which is great because I love burgers, but I think there is an opportunity for them to expand their menu and offer a bit more variety.
Pros: All vegan menu, Nice selection, Wifi
Cons: Menu consists of mainly burgers.

Excellent cafe in peaceful area - Edit
Looks like a converted house in the country, but it is tastefully decorated and has a good menu. I had a vegetable salad with sweet potato fries which were delicious. Would go back again.
Pros: Everything vegan, good value for money

One star. - Edit
Beautiful venue and garden but staff aren't very pleasant and the burgers were flavourless and chewy. Certainly wouldn't recommend or go again.
Pros: Garden
Cons: Expensive, Rude Staff, Flavourless Food

best place in newcastle - Edit
suggest the double cheeseburger. it was great and in my opinion the double is the perfect amount of meat. the flavours of the sauces remind me of a McDonald's cheeseburger but the actual burger in the bun tastes better. nice and open area and great seating. only real flaw is the staff didn't really smile and the location is a bit odd but i will definitely go again.
Pros: great food, good seating and atmosphere
Cons: weird location, staff weren't that energetic

Lovely Breakfast - Edit
Took my wife out to breakfast this morning. The setting was very nice in an old courthouse. The pancake stack and the Big Veg Breakfast were both very nice. Prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended.
Pros: Good service, Vegan
Cons: Would have been nice if the pancakes and the bread
