Good options

Came for lunch and enjoyed the varied options. I had just some toast with avocado and added the cashew feta which was yummy. My daughter had the avocado smash and they accommodated her gluten free changes with a smile. I love the fact that they do vegan substitutions rather than just remove items from the dish. The chips were great too.

Pros: Vegan substitutions

Delish and substantial!

Amazing coffee, and some solid vegan options on the menu😄I got the Wonder Vegan which was really yum, and my friend got the vegan burrito which they loved!

Legit brunch for vegans

Edit: From 3 stars to 4 due to many vegan options and me personally altering the way I rate...

Properly labelled vegan items plus if you get the vegan option of a dish they swap out the non vegan ingredients for vegan! Why doesn't every place do this? I'm tired of paying for ingredients I never get. Anyway I've been twice and had the wonder vegan and the big vegan breakfast. Both were honestly divine. I recommend this place for vegans that live nearby. Also had the jackfruit sausage roll which was great too.

Pros: Clearly lists vegan items, vegan options and subs

Cons: Serves meat and dairy, Full by 11am Sunday, waited a while

Would give 5 stars if I could.

Food was amazing well seasoned generous and fresh. They’ll veganise most dishes at no extra cost and also actually replace items with vegan ones. Friendly staff too

Pros: Vegan options, Good menu

Cons: None

Extremely accommodating

I love this place! They are so accommodating for vegans and other dietary requirements. More than half the menu can be made vegan and offer different substitutions. I got the soulful breakfast (swapped eggs for jackfruit) and it was HUGE! Definitely worth the money. The hotchoc is also great.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Best smashed avocado in Melbourne!

I have tried all the Vegan options. The smashed avocado on pumpkin bread is a standout! The hash browns are also delicious. Highly recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed!

This place is a model of how to do vegan options

Large, excellent range of vegan optional food, where the vegan option is not an afterthought. The scrambled tofu is great.

Pros: This is how you do it, Scrambled tofu

Cons: What's with the decor?

Delicious range

I’ve been to this cafe twice. Both times I’ve ordered dishes that have a vegan option. First salad the feta was replaced with macadamia feta and the second salad the haloumi swapped with tofu and the fetas swapped again. Both times I have left full and happy.

Very friendly service.

Pros: Many vegan options for food and drinks

Delicious food

About the food: first I tried the "wonder vegan": garlic thyme mushrooms, kale, avocado and olives on sourdough with Persian macadamia feta, beetroot hummus, almonds and super seed. On a second occasion the "smashed pumpkin": this came with soudough, mushrooms, crispy kale, super seeds and was optionally vegan where they replaced the eggs with jackfruit and feta for macadamia cheese.

Everything is incredibly delicious. The wonder vegan comes with an huge half a hass avocado. All the ingredients were fesh and of good quality. The only problem (for some) is that everything is fairly oily.

About the delivery: I ordered using Uber eats. It took about half an hour including delivery, on a Saturday morning., which is pretty great. They didn't provide cutlery which wasn't an issue for me but could have been. The beetroot hummus was served on the side in a little sauce cup.

Eating in: the staff were nice and has a nice atmosphere.

Overall, I was quite happy.
