Beautiful location

Several clearly labelled options on the menu, and not just the standard default vegan fare - actual unique and delicious options.

I got the vegan loaded bagel and would 100% get it again - on the pricier side for $28 but it was delicious and incredibly filling so worth the money in the end. Coffee was decent too.

I went just before lunchtime on a Saturday and there was quite a bit of a wait (both to get in and once we’d ordered), and the line stretched out for ages behind us - I recommend getting in early if you want to be in and out in under an hour.

The staff were so lovely and the building is gorgeous. A surprising gem in the heart of Lilydale.

Pros: Good variety to choose from , Lovely staff, Beautiful location

Cons: A little pricey, Long wait

Reasonably priced, great service

The price is reasonable for the decorations, maintenance of the historical building and great service. The food and drinks are excellent. Love that staff checked in frequently. Ordered sticky chai and vegan chili scramble. The scramble tasted like scrambled eggs! And it's very filling for $16.

Rich food rich atmosphere

I had a lovely lunch here with my omni parents. They both had Nutella Berry pancakes. I had the loaded croissant, which is on their specials menu. Really delicious, super rich though, my little belly couldn't handle it.

Pros: Gorgeous building , Great service

Incredible vegan options

I’ve been here three times now! The vegan options are delicious and plentiful. I love getting the vegan friend eggs and adding extras like the vegan bacon. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Pros: Range of options, Delicious food

Gorgeous spot for brunch

Had the loaded vegan croissant and it was delicious. Lots of vegan dishes to choose from. Room home vegan pistachio cake for later. Staff are really friendly. Will be back.

No idea why there aren’t more reviews for this place!!!!

Went for Mothers Day and had their vegan breakfast - it was so delicious I can’t stop thinking about it weeks later.
There was a slice of toast and a thick hashbrown underneath a phenomenal tofu scramble with pickles and mushrooms. Never had anything like it!

Pros: Tofu scramble, The hashbrown , Kids area for kids to run around and play

Cons: Not a dislike but looks like a crazy busy place, Very much out of the way but apart of its charm, Not cheap

Beautiful spot

Lovely little converted church. Food was really well presented, and tasted good. I had the loaded croissant and my husband had the loaded nachos. The croissant tasted sweet which didn’t really go with the filling. There was so much going on in that croissant (fried vegan egg, sausage, bacon, hollandaise), I wish it had have been made a big simpler- maybe just bacon, avocado and hollandaise (but that’s probably just my preference- and it was still delicious). The tacos were nice. The potato was a nice addition to them - but I didn’t think that the jackfruit tasted like much. Presentation was lovely. I also had a vegan wagon wheel which was Yummo. It’s a great spot and I will definitely go again! I think I’m just being extra picky because I’ve been wanting to go there for a long time - so you know. Expectations were super high. It was really lovely. A very pretty place with excellent vegan options.

Pros: Beautiful cafe, A good range of vegan options , Food looks beautiful and tastes good

Cons: On the expensive side

Delicious cookies and excellent service

This restaurant is in a converted church and is so beautiful. There were lots of vegan options and they looked very instagram ready, but didn't live up to the aesthetic.
We ordered the loaded croissant, and the big breaky. Both were very saucy (I really don't like too much sauce, as I want to be able to taste what's underneath).
The big breaky had delicious very fat potato rostis, and very good tofu scramble (not too spicy). The sliced pickles were a little unusual and I don't think complements the dish. I really kept wishing there wasn't so much mayo tasting sauce on it (menu says creamy gherkin mustard cream).
The loaded croissant came with a delicious nicely cooked sausage, but again just far too much hollandaise on it.
We got a couple of biscoff & white choc cookies, which were AMAZING, not overly sweet. It surprisingly had a bit of a muesli/oaty flavour (which tastes SO much better than it sounds). It was cookie doughy in texture, and we crisped it up in the air fryer. It was definitely the highlight.
The service was amazing and so lovely and friendly.

Pros: delicious biscoff & white choc cookies, friendly service

Cons: too much sauce
