Awesome spot for vegan burgers

Awesome vegan burgers, I had the mocking burger which was delicious and just what I felt like. My Omni friend had the French onion burger and also really enjoyed it. But even nicer than the burger were the pad Thai loaded fries which were amaaazing!

Impressive selection of beers and nice atmosphere too. Also really great service.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Beer selection , Decent prices

Okay

The good thing is that all is vegan, but the quality of the food was mediocre; overcooked dumplings, salad covered in vinegar, dessert incredibly sugary.
Service was "very casual".

Pros: All vegan, nice atmosphere

Cons: Mediocre food and poor service

Awesome food and service

My 3 year old daughter's favourite cafe in the world! The staff always remember her and treat her amazingly.
Daughter LOVES the curly fries and berry smoothie. Everything I've had from here has been exceptional except the fish burger....but that's my own fault because I know I don't like banana blossom! Their chicken seitan is amazing as is their coffee. Great atmosphere too

Good atmosphere & ok vegan fast food

Nearly the whole menu is vegan and the place has a good atmosphere. Also good drinks including some craft beers. Burgers are pretty average

Satisfying vegan burger meal

I had a cod burger for dinner in Mockingbird tonight. This was my third time eating there an it seems that there are always large groups there, which is great as many people then go a night without meat! But it is also a bit noisy for other guests. My burger was good, the fish very realistic, with even a herb stem fooling me into feeling a fishbone in my "fish". Good and fast service.

BTW still as good in July 2021! I definitely eat here at least once every time I stay in Wellington!

Should be better

This place is cool, and great that it’s all vegan. But, the Buffalo Bowl just was pretty paltry for the price. Just not much food and not much skill in the prep. Similarly, the beers were expensive. I also had the Oreo cake jar, and it was both pretty poorly executed (just fat and sugar, with little flavor) and overpriced.

Pros: Entirely (?) vegan or close to it, Cool space

Cons: Expensive for what you get, Mediocre recipes and execution

Not open at 10am.

Wanted to grab some breakfast before exploring the city but saw that they open at 11am during the week. Hence I cant rate food.

Needs improvement

Menu sounds great but we were disappointed by the dishes. Burgers were just white soft buns with some dry patty, no fresh vegetables and a tiny bit of sauce. Loaded fries were covered in rather thick sticky vegemite sauce than something I’d call “cheese”. It’s nice to have a vegan option in the CBD but food could definitely be improved with fresh ingredients.

Insanely good burgers

Can’t beat the burgers here- a great range of choices. The puddings are to die for and portion sizes are amazing.

Pros: So much choice, Decent prices for Wellington, Drinks are labelled as vegan or non-vegan

Awesome vegan burgers

Good atmosphere, cafe/bar casual dining. Nearly everything vegan, what isn’t is clearly labeled that it has egg. I had the loaded fries and Hulu Hulu burger and it was sleazy and delicious! Will definitely be going here again!

Pros: Almost all vegan, Has vegan deserts , Options options options

Vegan Haven

Such an awesome place to have in the central city. 99% vegan menu with awesome bowls and burgers. I think the Buffalo bowl is my favourite - buffalo cauliflower, avocado, slaw, greens, pan fried chickpeas, tahini etc, and the burgers are so good!

Pros: Excellent food and drinks , Great staff, Rooftop bar

Overpriced for what you get

Yummy food and so cool to see another almost fully vegan cafe open up in Wellington! Everything on the menu is vegan or can be made vegan. Lots and burgers, bowls, and desserts! A touch overpriced for what you get - particularly for the burgers. Nevertheless, yummy and will be back to enjoy other things on their menu!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Vegan desserts, Good location

Cons: A bit over priced

Disappointing.

Had the vegan version of the chicken burger. Wrapped with wilted and tiny pieces of lettuce that were supposed to be a bun substitute. Overall, a disappointment due to poor quality and no attention to detail. Not worth it.

Cons: Poor food presentation., Poor service.

Modern decor, delicious food!

Had the Wholefood Bowl and the ‘Wake Me Up’ smoothie. I can 100% recommend the Wholefood Bowl - the tempeh was the star, and all the other flavours worked really well.
The waiter who served me was lovely. I can imagine this place would be perfect for dinner and drinks.
Great experience!

AMAZING

So many amazing burgers, Buddha bowls, loaded fries, smoothies, good coffee and all vegan, with lots of plant milk options too. Basically the entire menu is vegan aside from eggs on a brunch bowl. Then there’s the rooftop bar too, with vegan craft beers, wines, sangria jugs, cocktails etc. Never want to leave!

Pros: Almost all vegan, Lovely decor, Rooftop bar
