CLOSED DOWN 8th July 2023

It’s sad this day has come. Due to rising costs, this wonderful vegan cafe has officially closed down as of Saturday 8th July 2023.

The owners are looking into a market food truck but haven’t yet set an open date or locations of operation.

Pros: Lovely food, Lovely people, Lovely atmosphere

Amazing food! Fully vegan

Lovely food with so many great choices! I had the Mac and cheese, Kitchari and the pumpkins and avocado salad, all were amazing! You choose the size of your plate and then get to choose a few different options, was still very hard to make a decision! The portions are big as well!

Pros: Great options, Not expensive , Big portions

Fully vegan.

The app says it’s a vegetarian restaurant but it is fully vegan! It’s a buffet style lunch menu with pasta and rice dishes and salads etc. Food was really great, especially the Mac and cheese! They also have a range of smoothies and juices as well as milk alternative coffees and cakes.

Pros: Fully vegan, Quick and healthy food, Friendly staff

Sweet & Savoury

Cute spot near the beach that's fully vegan. The staff are friendly and there's plenty of seating outside or takeaway is also available. Plenty of paid parking and there are some funky op shops to visit afterwards too.

Pros: 100% vegan, Plenty of parking and seats, Bain marie for easily grabbing takeaway

All vegan food

I chose the 3 options. Today they had moussaka, potatoes and a kitchari. All of the dishes were really tasty with the kitchari being particularly good. We also had a chocolate mousse cake that was really nice. You sit outside the cafe and it’s nice. Friendly service too.

Homey little gem

What a great spot! My partner & I shared a large lunch plate of deliciously rich, creamy & nourishing whole food & felt very satisfied 😌 We managed to resist buying banoffee & other sweet treats from the cabinet this time but only by agreeing we'll be back to try more another day!

Updated from previous review on 2021-05-23

Pros: Both hot & cold cabinets were full of vegan food, Different price/size options, Range of complementary flavours & textures

Good when open

They aren’t reliably open, although when they are the cafe has a good eating area out of the direct sun, with a fair selection of prepared foods, for a reasonable cost.

Great to pick up something quick

Easy parking, central. The lentil moussaka shepherds pie is amazing! Kids love the Mac cheese and potato bake. Sago puddings are yummy.

Delivery Order - Fantastic!

Ordered uber eats to my work place, got a curry, salads, a coffee and cookies for the office. My coffee was split on the was over, but even with uber eats refunding me, Giri Kana still contacted me and offered me a free coffee when I come in next! (I'm not going to take them up on it as I feel bad it wasn't their fault but the kindness and customer service is astonishing!) The cookies are a workplace favourite of ours! And the curry and salads were absolutely delicious! I will have to go into their store one time soon 💖 10/10 love this place!

Pros: Great customer service, THE COOKIES, Great non-junky delivery options. Healthy + tasty

Lovely cafe in a central location. Staff were really nice and the food was delicious, I had the scrambled tofu and have grabbed myself a wicked looking sweet for morning tea ($20.50 total).. Definately worth the visit..😋

Terrible customer service

The only bad experience my bf and I had on the gc was here. The girl who initially served us was extremely rude and made us feel like we were being an inconvenience. We walked up to the counter and waited to be served. She was making a coffee so we just waited which wasn't an issue but some time passed and she still didn't bother to engage us at all not even a polite "I'll be with you in a moment" kind of thing. When she began taking our order she acted like she was very unhappy to be there, she mumbled and avoided giving us her full attention. We ordered the big breakfast and apparently they were out of potatoes which is whatever, but instead of just telling us that she'd go and check if they still had any she turns away from us, yells towards some other worker asking if they are out and then turns back and mumbles something about replacing it with something else. She used a word which we weren't familiar with so we had to ask her what it was because she assumed we would just know. The way she acted was like she was an unhappy entitled teenager who was forced into doing something they didn't want to do. We also ordered the acai bowl which was the worst one I've had. The big breakfast wasn't too bad but the poor customer service made it hard to enjoy the food.

The lady who bought out the food seemed quite pleasant so it's a shame the other girl ruined the place for us. At the end we bought up our plates and asked a different girl if they had a toilet. Apparently they had a key on the hook next to the counter. The hook was less than a meter from her but instead of just showing us she gave us some vague instructions to find it (for context the place wasn't busy). Spoiler alert it wasn't there so we were searching for it even though it wasn't there. After us looking confused for ages she finally has a look and tells us someone must be using it. We walked over to the toilets and waited. Before we knew it the girl from the beginning comes out with the (customers?) key and we managed to get it off her (she didn't say a word to us). After that another worker comes out with a different key which we believe was supposed to be the staff key.

One thing that also upset my boyfriend was that the staff were acting very friendly towards some of the other customers. Not sure what was going on but it definitely dampened our last day on the gold Coast. I wouldn't recommend this place and I regret spending my money here.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Extremely poor customer service , Food was average

Excellent!

Very casual setting with take away and tables. The food here is consistently beautiful both salads and hot dishes. They also do breakfast and good coffee. Their deserts, especially the rhubarb sponge cake and apple crumble with cashew cream are wonderful. Great service and value for money.

Pros: Delicious, Setting, Value for money

Cons: Not open Sunday

Chilled and friendly vegan hangout

Another great find on the Gold Coast. Regular all day breakfast - live music events in a cool shady spot. Lots of mainly vegan choices...we tried a fair few and all were delicious, especially the big brekkie and chocolate brownie cake. Friendly and helpful staff allowed us to sit all morning and do admin using their wifi. If we lived here this would deginitely be a regular spot to hang.

Pros: healthy varied options
