Moving to Cairns just for this place - Edit
Popped in for a quick lunch with my Carnivore friend and partner and was in vegan heaven! The potato salad was just like I remember from childhood, and the burrito was delicious. If you’re after rich, cheesy, vegan comfort food this is the ultimate 100% plant based cafe in NQ. They also do lighter, super fresh options if you’re after that. The staff were so friendly and accomodating, will definitely be back!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had - Edit
I decided to go for the mighty wise hot dog, as it also comes with creamy potato salad. The portion was HUGE, and so delicious I had to finish it all. Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The flavours just complemented each other so well. It’s a bit pricey, but I mean it’s worth it, it could also easily be a shared meal for 2 people. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I had a delicious loaded hot dog with avo, cheeze and nooch; very big portions, filling, and delicious! They also have cupcakes and a good juice selection. Would recommend!

This is hands down the best food we have had in Cairns and there are some pretty great options. We ordered the Mush-Fu and the Brekky Boat and were both impressed and satisfied with the meal. Unique and delicious tastes and impeccable presentation. Highly recommend

most amazing vegan food - Edit
We had the New Yorker and the black bean burrito today and they were both delicious and satisfying! The kids shared the pancake stack and we struggled to finish it all. The serves were very generous. Lovely staff were really accommodating to my dietary requirements. I'll definitely be going back.

Excellent food, but not fast - Edit
It is all vegan, food is really good. We went there twice during our stay in Cairns.
Read moreThe food is fresh, flavours were great and the portions were very generous.
I would have given them 5/5 if it was not for the very slow service. Once you have ordered and paid, they inform you that your food will take at least 20 minutes to be prepared. It seems very slow for food that is either raw or would have to be pre-prepared.
Pros: Food is delicious, All vegan, Large portions
Cons: Slow service, The decor & setting is "hippie"/non-mainstream

THE BEST - Edit
This place is my go to all the time. I can't get enough of the Mighty Wise and breakky boats. The sauce is to die for and you really get a massive meal that keeps you full ALL day. The peanut butter wolf is my favourite smoothie. If you can't fit it all in make sure you ask for a take away dish.
Read morePros: The best, My favourite , DELICIOUS
Cons: It can take a while for food to be made

Delicious vegan food - Edit
We have eaten here several times. Often we get the hotdogs which are huge and very filling. Have also tried pizzas and toasties. Vegan cakes and slices also available. Lovely quite shopping centre to eat at. Parking at the Pier can be difficult to get sometimes, but its worth the walk if we have to park far away.
