Potpourri Vegetarian Cafe

I had the mushroom burger. It was essentially just a medium sized flat mushroom with salad on a bun. However it tasted really good, I believe it was the salad dressing and the chapatti bun, the mushroom was almost superfluous. There were lots of other tasty looking options and cakes.

If you are looking for delicious, healthy food in a cosy, friendly atmosphere, you don't need to look further than Potpourri Vegetarian Cafe. We ate the pizza and lasagna with salad. Both were really tasty, fresh, and healthy. We also had the gluten-free date scone and the birdseed slice. Yum!!!
The staff are delightfully friendly, the range of food is excellent & the prices are reasonable. 10/10.

The vegan fruit scone and vegan savoury pie were delicious

Had hot apple pie on my mind. Not here. No fruit pies. They had some slices though but didn't feel like a slice. Nothing that could be confirmed to not have onion and garlic so walked over to Countdown.

My partner and I came here for lunch. Selection was mostly lacto-ovo vegetarian with only a few vegan options. Even the vegan ones were not very inviting. The salad selection was boring as well and dairy/egg-heavy. I got the veggie pie with three salads (shredded carrots, cabbage slaw, and soy wheatberries). They were just OK, passable for a first-timer but I probably wouldn't order them again if given the chance. The lack of vegan protein was a bit mind-boggling. No tofu, no beans, nada. Only saving grace was the date scones.

Good simple food. And nice people.

I went there for breakfast and there were only 1 falafel sandwich, that contains only 1 falafel.
The other sandwiches contained egg, cheese or butter. Lots of salads.
The overall atmosphere is nice. Price are a a bit expensive.

BUT vegan dates scones are amazing: for one of those it is worth going there.

Owned and operated by meat eaters and located on the tourist promenade that leads from Dunedin's "wedding cake" railway station to the Octagon, this cafe/restaraunt is definitely one I would recommend visiting after considering the other options that are available in town.

The food is a homely blend of salads, egg, cheese and butter saturated baking (excluding the vegan date scone). You can also choose from a selection of main dishes (priced between 8$ - 14$), although, a lot of the mains taste very similar, they have a good mexican bean pie at times.

The cafe has a pleasant atmosphere, expensive coffee, environmentally unfriendly take-away utensiles and packaging. Sometimes, it closes around 3 pm.

I came here in February, when the new owners had re-opened, and had a really good experience. Their muffins (vegan) were some of the best I'd ever had, and most of the mains hit the spot as well. Really nice sandwiches and falafel, and most things available vegan. Everyone very friendly, nice surroundings, and good service. I was very impressed and would visit again.

Had a coffee and snack in Dec 2009 and loved it. The Date Scones where out of this world yummy, coffee was good and all other food on offer looked very appetizing. Very friendly atmosphere and good service.

This cafe has changed hands at least twice in the last few years. It has been refurbished, and looks much more like a conventional cafe than it used to. It is still a vegetarian cafe, but unfortunately, the friendly and relaxed atmosphere seems to have gone. I visited in late 2008, and had very abrupt service from someone I assumed must be a staff member. I found out later that it was the owner.
