Time for a new 'new menu' - Edit
November 2025
Read moreReturning after over a year to try the 'new menu' under the new ownership made for a somewhat disappointing lunch. The Asian noodle salad came without a noodle in sight and tasted almost identical to the peanut curry I chose from the specials board (this dish has been available for years). The chips were good and the drinks okay.
August 2024
We enjoyed a very good meal on our first visit after almost 5 years.
Middle Eastern shawarma - very tasty but could have done with some chips on the side
Sweet potato/lentil curry special - very good. Came with rice, flat bread and a little bit of rocket on the side.
A decent chai & dirty chai (off menu) for drinks.
Also bought a chocolate /strawberry muffin to go (no photo) - also good.
December 2019
The mac n cheese burger was not good; impossible to eat as a burger without wearing some of it and lacking in flavour. The nachos were good although I would prefer less cheese. The 'new' menu really only features a couple of new items when you take breakfast out of the equation, and when lunch is so limited, perhaps they should make breakfast available all day.
November (2) 2019
Had the Rainbow wrap and the tomato and pesto toastie. Both were reasonable although the wrap was a bit dry and could have used mayo. The peanut butter latte was interesting and the chocolate beetroot muffin, rich and moist
November (1) 2019
Both today's specials (Pumpkin soup and peanut curry) were enjoyable however the serving sizes were on the small size and probably not the best value.
October 2019
Tried the scrambled tofu today and it's probably one of the better ones out there. The roast vegetable Turkish was quite enjoyable but got a bit oily by the end. Also ordered a very good mocha and snickers latte. Looking forward to returning when the Spring menu is introduced.
May 2019
Well prepared and skillfully presented meals. The tofu satay bowl could have used more dressing as it became a little dry towards the end, but otherwise it was wholesome and tasty. We also enjoyed a very good nachos; I would have preferred less cheese but for most people it would have been just right.

Food so nice I visited twice! - Edit
One visit wasn’t enough for us on my holiday in Rye, my husband and I decided to go back for lunch a second day. Everything is incredibly tasty, and the staff are lovely. You must try their signature snickers latte!

This feels like 2017 vegan food when there was a lot of vegan places to choose from.

Didn't live up to the hype - Edit
I felt a bit underwhelmed by Hunter after all of the positive reviews and recommendations.
Read moreThe snickers latte was more akin to an ok hot chocolate with a hint of caramel (couldn't even taste the PB, perhaps the faintest hint), but the mug was cute.
The açaí smoothie was fine, but the açaí flavour wasn't very strong and felt a bit overshadowed by the other ingredients.
For food I ordered the cheezeburger, which tasted alright, the sauce on it was really nice. The patty however was very squishy, and all the filings were sticking quite far out so trying to eat it was difficult as it was just spilling and falling everywhere. The buns were a bit dry. I found it surprising that they used iceberg lettuce inside the burger (with a handful of rocket placed on the top of the burger) given the $18~ price point, which does not include any sides, just the burger.
The menu is quite limited, but it's nice that it's all vegan. Glad to support a local vegan business, but I'll skip it if I'm ever in the area again.
Pros: All vegan
Cons: Small menu

Hit and miss - Edit
Been there several times - nice place near rye back beach - some dishes are pretty good and others not so . Can’t understand why they just throw a handful of sad looking rocket on the side of dishes with no dressing or anything - why not just add a simple tasty ‘dressed’ side-salad that’s actually edible !
Read morePros: Nice setting , Nice staff , Fully vegan
Cons: No proper side salad , No Gluten free wraps

Delicious option for the Mornington Peninsula - Edit
This place is conveniently located only a few minutes from the Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs, where we were planning to spend our day.
Read moreWe arrived at 1145, which ended up being a great time as they allowed us to order off both the breakfast menu (stops at 12) and lunch menu (starts at 12).
The schwarma bowl was absolutely delicious, fresh and aesthetically pleasing. The tzatziki was the best tasting one I've had, and the pickled zucchini? cucumber? was SO good. Everything just tasted so good together.
The pesto scramble tofu was very good too, slightly oily, but tasty from the semi-dried tomatoes and pesto. The coconut bacon didn't do much for me, it was just like coconut flakes, but my partner enjoyed it.
I also ordered the pizza bite from their food cabinet, it wasn't great, I wasn't really getting a pizza flavour.
The only annoying thing is that there is no online menu available on their social media.
Pros: delish schwarma bowl, friendly staff
Cons: no online menu available

Best scramble ever! - Edit
This place is fantastic! Had the tofu scramble and it was amazing. The OG banana and the Uber chocolate smoothies were so thick and tasty! Great vibe here and I also bought a dress from the second hand clothing rack. 🥰 Fully vegan which is always great. You must go here if in the area!

Don’t add feta - Edit
Cute cafe and the shawarma I ordered was yum. The mock meat inside was delicious, as was the wrap.
Read moreDon’t waste $4 by adding vegan feta. I did and when I couldn’t find any I asked a staff member if it had been forgotten. The kitchen staff insisted that it had been added and the staff member told me that the liquid white sauce (looked like tzatziki to me) was the feta. $4 is a lot of money to add a sauce. Especially disappointing as they were selling YAY! vegan feta in jars at the front, a delicious and textured feta that would have been worth $4 to add.
