Vegan Asian food - Edit
Cute little restaurant. Had bao buns which were huge and had a nice filling. As well as a banh mi which I'm always a fan of. They have cool events where they make dishes from different regions. Would like to attend one day.

Good but pricy - Edit
Great little spot with a nice quiet vibe. Ordered the tofu larb which was yummy and a little spicy. Serving size and not too bad. Also had a matcha latte. All in all, food was good but $33 for food and drink.

Fully vegan and fully tasty - Edit
This place has improved in leaps and bounds since it first opened. The place looks great, I love the plants and the aesthetic. Cindy is always a delight and recognises people which I appreciate. Food is vibrant, tasty and pretty healthy. Mostly has great depth of flavour and the freshness/vibrancy you expect from Vietnamese. Great food ideas and a menu that is always changing with the seasons, the crepes are a standout. They have special themed menu nights and are now licensed. The food can be a little bit inconsistent, I've noticed when the owners are not there, the food is not as nice and the presentation slips. Like everything else, the prices have become high - up to $29 (just for food) is steep, especially for lunch. I dislike the bench seating as it doesn't have back support and feels too low. Have not tried the menu since the new chef has come in. The chilli is ridiculously hot, like you would expect for a Vietnamese place - great for congested noses and if you are feeling cold. if you don't pick up a moon cake on the way out, your are missing out!

Solid - Edit
Place looks great and staff are super nice. Food was decent, but not convinced the value was there, a little pricey for food was that good, but not excellent.

I can’t wait to go back! - Edit
Another trip to Goodwood to feast on the best tofu scramble I’ve ever had in my life! How do they do it? I also had a piece of pistachio love tart which was so creamy and smooth, of course I had to take another piece home with me.

Cozy Vietnamese Spot - Edit
I loved the vibe as soon as I stepped in.
Read moreMy husband and I tried their botanical lattes!
I had beetroot chai with their metta blend and hubby had a green grassy latte. I Don’t remember the name but it was the last one in their drinks menu! Both were delicious.
Food-wise we had the mushroom omelette with the sourdough baguette and the pho with the dumpling. The omelette was a bit more satisfying as it was very full of flavor. The pho was a bit more delicate but delicious anyway! We will be back for sure!

Spicy and delicious - Edit
First time leaving a review because the food was that delicious. Warning: chilli paste is super spicy and tasty! We had pho and red lantern stew, would recommend both.

Tasty, friendly, quiet - Edit
We had brunch here and got two meals and a coldpressed juice. The juice was expensive for the small size but tasty. Meals (metta roll and avo scramble) were both delicious.

An interesting Vietnamese-Western fusion - Edit
A really interesting and unique take on Vietnamese-Western fusion! Definitely unlike any other vegan place in Adelaide.
Read moreThe lay out of the shop is very beautiful and makes for a good date location.
The food is unique and I found tasty, but it may not be up to everyone's liking.
One con is that it is sure expensive for what you get. Attached picture shows $60 worth of food.
Pros: Unique taste
Cons: Price

Love Metta Sol - Edit
Totally vegan, and everything I’ve eaten from here has been top notch. Mains, desserts and take home house made condiments available.
Read moreThey also have juices, teas, and a range of milks for coffee.
Has a small amount of outdoor seating and small indoor space. The staff are so lovely and the whole space has such a calming energy.

My husband and I popped in one day after hearing so many good things. We waddled out. Pho, mushroom pate doughnuts, Metta Rolls. So many choices to pick from, all as equally as delicious as each other. Will be back as soon as I can. Which happens to be tomorrow. Lucky me!!

Delicious quirky eats! - Edit
My husband Mark is obsessed with this place. I too really enjoy it when I’m in the mood for Thai. There aren’t a ton of options for my palette on the menu as honestly I can be a little less daring with tastes but I REALLY love the scrambled tofu vegan croissant. It’s absolutely special and delicious. My kids sometimes struggle to find something more plain to eat here so Mark and I often go when our kids are in school. The space is really lovely, the food high quality and the staff DIVINE.
Read morePros: Creative Thai cooking! , Great location , Insanely good breakfast croissant option
Cons: Not many plainer options for kids

I dont like to be critical because i want to be supportive of the vegan movement. This place is very easy on the eye in every way from the layout to the food presentation.
Read moreWe had the sourdough roll which was tasty but a little too much bread and not enough filling.
We also got the pho with the lot. Unfortunately it just tasted so bland and it was the size of a very small bowl which was so disappointing. And to top it off, no fresh sprouts, chillies were $1 extra and hoi sin was $2 extra (which we refused to pay for). Ive eaten thousands of pho in my life and ive never ever felt so offended to have to pay extra for what is never extra!!
Im happy to pay for quality if its worth it but $24 for a pho with the lot and those extras is ridiculous for a cafe.
To top it off, for only a couple of others in the cafe, the service was quite slow.
Sorry guys. I want to support vegan businesses but the prices put me off from wanting to come back and be a frequent customer.
Pros: Nice decor and presentation
Cons: Very expensive for what you get, Slow service

i wish the food was better - Edit
had the $20 pho and coconut iced coffee, they were okay, unfortunately we had to pay extra for chilli and hoisin, and even with them in the soup it lacked a lot of flavour. my omni friend paid around $10 for 4 small dumplings, plus $2 for chilli paste to eat them with. it just doesnt feel worth the money :-/
Read morePros: vegan options, vietnamese drinks are veganised
Cons: have to pay extra for sauces, small portions for what you pay, lacks flavour

Yum! - Edit
Cafe styled eatery. The inside is comfortably styled with many windows offering lots of light. Would make a good place to chill and drink a coffee.
Read moreSpeaking of which, the coffee tastes nice. The flat whites are made exactly how I like them; minimal froth.
The food is Vietnamese styled yumness. I ordered a noodle dish complete with fresh veggies, tofu, and seasoning. The veggies were fresh, with superb crunch. The tofu was lightly cooked with a mild outer crunch; this complemented the crunch of the veggies. Finally, the seasoning had a good kick to it.
In conclusion, I'll definitely be eating here more often!
