My daughter and I have recently gone Vegan so checking out what Cairns has to offer.
Read moreCheeky Tam was our first venture out and it was the best tasting, healthy delicious food and drink we have ever had. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledable. The latte made with soy milk was delicious and my daughter had the Peanut butter smoothie ( devine). They also have Vegan treats so a few were taken home. Thank you Cheeky Yam

One of the best vegan meals I've had! - Edit
I had a vegan bratwurst, first option on the menu. The portion was huge and the meal was just so amazing and tasty. Everything on the menu is vegan and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back!

Delicious - Edit
This might have been our best meal in Australia, just something about the flavors and wholesomeness of the two dishes we ordered (can't remember what the were but both from the front of the regular menu which is fairly small). The food court of the mall was open to other happenings, not too scenic but interesting people to watch across from a dance school and a Himalayan shop.

Sensational! - Edit
The most delicious meal I've eaten in many months. Not your average wraps pizzas and hot dogs that's for sure! Every bite was a taste sensation, they have amazing desserts too like raw vegan cheesecakes. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

mighty wise! - Edit
Omg this place is amazing! there aren't many vegan places in Cairns but Cheeky Yam rivals some of the best places in Australia. get the mighty wise hotdog for a big portion with great ingredients (lots of avocado). the grilled cheese is really nice as well! they take a little while to cook the food (about 15 minutes) but it is worth it because the taste and presentation is amazing.

If you're in Cairns, check out Cheeky Yam!!! - Edit
Cute little cafe in the Pier with amazing smoothies, friendly staff, and tons of delicious healthy vegan options. The chia pudding bowl was worth every penny and came with so much fresh local fruit. Give this place a try and you won't regret it!!
