Super sized portions!

Love that Whitianga has a cafe dedicated to veg and vegan options. We had the spicy breakfast burritos from the cabinet, heated and eaten there. The portion was massive, and there was a good amount of heat behind the spice - paired with a long black or was a great way to start the day. We will be back!

Pros: Large portion, Good coffee, Lovely staff

Veggie with vegan options

Full veggie (and gluten-free) cafe with clearly marked vegan options. The savoury options were tasty and big portions! The cakes were small, but still good. From previous reviews/photos it looks like they haven’t changed the menu in years, but we were just happy to have options to choose from.

Generous serves

Excellent vegan and gf lunch spot. Lots of vegan baking - nice change from the single vegan snickers slice option offered elsewhere! Vegan scones would be a good addition to the menu

Gluten-free Heaven

EVERYTHING is Gluten-Free, which immediately makes this spot stand out. Options are clearly labeled—dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan—so it’s easy to navigate no matter your dietary needs.

The focus is on healthier, real food, and there’s a great mix of options. I went in thinking I’d get a salad or a smoothie, but the Turkish flatbread sandwiches completely stole my attention— and the desserts. Too hard to resist with so many good gluten-free choices.

It’s a great spot for lunch, and they also have a small in-house store with dried goods and specialty provisions, which adds a nice touch when you're on the road.

Disappointing

Had a kumara and sweet corn fritter toasty with vegan cheese on. Patty was really mushy and tasteless, the kind the squeezes out most of it out the other end every time you take a bite. Coffee was okay. Sweet little cafe with lots of vegan sweet treat options (not tried this time).

Pros: Friendly staff , Nice cafe setting , Shelter from rain

Cons: Mushy tasteless patty

Delicious and easy!

Earth store was an unexpected delight. Great for gluten free vegans! Their cabinet is full of sweet treats that are mostly vegan and also GF. I loved their GF vegan turkish rolls toasted!!

Gut für einen Snack

Wir haben ein veganes Panini gegessen. Das war ganz gut. Aber es gab jede Menge vegane Süssgebäcke, die sahen sehr gut aus. Die Auswahl für Herzhaftes war eher klein

Pros: Nettes Ambiente

Lucky find

Little cute cafe and shop which we found by accident, was surprised this was not already on happy cow.
Had a yummy panini type sandwich with a corn patty and vegan cheese from cabinet.
My friends had a yummy beetroot soup.
Very limited seated, more of a takeaway type place
