Yummy big breakfast

Couple options to choose from. I went with the big breakfast with an option to have scrambled tofu instead of eggs. It was huge and super tasty. Especially the crispy hash brown and chickpeas and the perfectly cooked mushroom.

Pros: Tasty food, Few vegan items

NO LONGER SERVES VEGAN WAFFLES

Visited recently and discovered that the vegan choices have been heavily reduced to just the vegan breakfast. When asked, the server said that the waffles are no longer vegan and cannot be veganised either. Super disappointing.

Great location, good juice and coffee

Several vegan options including vegan shnitty.
The juice and coffee were good, and my niece enjoyed a big bowl of chips.

I ate bacon and chicken! Yuck

We ordered a vegan wrap from the vegetarian menu, I haven't eaten meat for 38 years! I don't know what it tastes like, I don't really know what it looks like. I ate 1/4 of the wrap and handed it to my wife, who said, "this is meat!". Yep!
They fed me bacon and chicken and I feel sick! I would remove them entirely from happy cow!
Disappointed is an understatement. They gave me back $12!!! I am sad and angry and appalled that a place we found on happy cow could do this!!

Pros: None

Cons: They gave me meat!

Quiet cafe amidst the hustle of one of Newcastle's busiest

I was surprised by a cafe that i'd otherwise overlooked.

The budda bowl was "really great vegan food on Darby St. I'd come back"

The chorizo hot pot was offered to me with vegan sausage and no egg and it was both delicious and great value.

Toped off by lovely customer service and coffee from Jessie the barista in spite of a hectic influx of lunchtime traffic.
The specific long black bean blend "ascension" was strong yet a little fruity.

My girl friend was suggested the "really great" vegan bowl by a young lady "elyssa" who was on her first day. She was helped with menu knowledge by Jessie. I was impressed again by her customer service as she was seamlessly learning a new job.

The walnut schnitzel burger with vegan aioli and sweet chilli was awesome, definitely no excuse to eat animal meat with this as an alternative.

Damn boi. 🥰

Local and i'll come back

The Vegan Options are Good!

Sanctum has a few Vegan options scattered about the menu, but all are well thought out and delicious. You aren’t getting a subpar meal just for choosing vegan.

Highly recommend the Vegan Schnitzel Wrap, so yummy!

Pros: Food options

Cons: A bit expensive

Incredible Food. Incredible Service

Staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating to Vegan/Vegetarian. Close to half the menu is Vegan or Veg option. Central to Newcastle’s highlights, the food is always tasty and satisfying for a vegan all-day breakfast or lunch, frequent here often as it is close to the uni, 10/10 would recommend!

An Experience

- Super lovely and welcoming staff
- Very understanding and aware of dietary requirements
- Changeable, flexible menu (GF, V & VE)
- Massive menu with lots of options
- Fast service
- Also serves meat for those who are uncomfortable with that
- Venue isn't super stylish but it hits top marks where it really counts in terms of a great dining experience
