Delicious Lunch Spot! - Edit
When your food arrives and you instantly decide that you want to come back…that’s when you know it’s a goodie! The Chickpea salad was so tasty - with pickled beetroot that was scrumptious. My husband had the bean burrito and it was delicious - fresh tasting, with guac and hummus on top, and a generous portion.
Read morePros: Chickpea Salad, Bean Burrito , Generous portions

Great breakfast - Edit
Awesome to find a place with some many options (all items can be made vegan if they aren't already), and with a kids menu! Between us we had the pancakes, BLT, burrito bowl and Avo smash - all were great!

Great option - Edit
Rock up here knowing you can rely on a decent breakfast and lunch menu with a variety of vegan options. Ok, it may not blow you away with the taste - we had the sourdough stack and the falafel wrap - but the food is definitely solid and that's OK. That being said, the banana bread with coconut cream and Nutellex vegan butter was particularly tasty. Bright interior and welcoming service.

Virtually everything on the menu is vegan/vegetarian or can be adjusted to suit the needs of vegans/vegetarians. The ‘Aussie Pipe’ juice was amazing!

Good variety of vegan food - too bad it’s boring and over-priced - Edit
This cafe has a good variety of vegan food and most items can be veganised, but saying that the menu and food is:
Read more- home-styled cooking
- but very average home cooking
- over-priced.
- food from 10-15 years ago; burgers, nachos, wraps etc.
So 2.5 stars for the food.
The service is good.
Coffee is good.
Dog-friendly
Quaint with a great log heater, perfect on a cold winter’s day.
Great to have this veg cafe but their food needs work. Don’t have high expectations and you will be fine.
Pros: Dog friendly out the front, Good coffee, Most things can be veganised
Cons: Over-priced for the quality of the food , Boring menu - same old

Good variety of options. - Edit
They had many vegan options which was fantastic. Unfortunately the service was lacking in areas, we waited quite a long time for our breakfast, people who walked in 15 minutes after we ordered, received their meals before we did. This aside, the acai bowl and mango smoothie bowls were pretty good.

Wonderful to find a vegan friendly restaurant - Edit
Accidently found this place when searching for a coffee and saw they had vegan cake which was wonderful. I then sat down and realised it was a vegetarian café with vegan options. I took 2 vegan friends there this week and we had the tofu burger and vegan burger in a bun and my friend had the wraps. all wonderful! disappointed to find just a oat slice was vegan so we didn't have a cake. Vegan cakes are so easy to make and everyone can eat them so please lets have more choice. We all had a fresh juice as well. brilliant place and will be back very soon so please more vegan ideas chef.
Read moreSince writing this review the owners are having more and more vegan options. Lots of cakes now to choose from and new ideas for savouries. Brilliant!

Great satay tofu burger - Edit
Stopped here for lunch on a drive from Sydney to Jervis Bay. I had the satay tofu burger which was great and a juice. My partner had a juice too and a falafel wrap - he asked for no tomato although it looks like they were premade and had tomato. They also had soy milkshakes but none of the staff could confirm if the flavours were vegan. The food service was a little slow but overall a nice meal. Sit upstairs at the bar and people watch!

A gem driving south - Edit
After Cronulla heading south from Sydney we found it quite hard to find places catering for vegans but were pleased and pleasantly surprised to find this cute place on the main street through Gerringong. The delicious big breakfast was exactly what we needed and with gluten free bread too we were in our element. We didn't try the cakes but there were 2 vegan options and both looked yummy. The coffee with almond milk was pretty good too. Lovely outdoor seating on the main street watching the world go about its business. Friendly but sleepy staff.
Read morePros: Big brekkie
Cons: Limited vegan options
