Sweet Bones

I was there around 11am on a weekday and it was busy! So good to see a vegan place thriving. You can order at the counter or via QR at the table but I'd recommend heading up to the counter so you can see all the baked goods in the cabinet. I had the smashed avo, cinnamon bun, and iced soy latte which were all great.

I don't know how to rate this place

The food was nice but the waiting time was absolutely ridiculous.

Great Little Bakery

My husband was in charge of finding somewhere for breakfast and he chose Sweet Bones Bakery because use he thought it would have some vegan friendly options for me. I was absolutely delighted to see the menu and the food did not disappoint. I loved every bite and the cafe is super cute. I cannot wait to go back to Canberra so I can have a pit stop there.

Super cute cafe

Got some takeaway and it was all incredible! I ordered the tofu scramble muffin and it was the best tofu scramble I've ever had! I also had a cinnamon scroll which was huge and delish. It was so hard to choose what to order, I'll definitely come back next time I visit canberra!

Never not thinking about the cinnamon scrolls

I like the variety in their menu, and nothing beats the cinnamon scrolls.

Tasty sweets include GF

I don't usually get many sweet vegan and GF sweets, so took advantage of the Berry almond tart, tasty and filling. Even though not GF , my hubby had a yummy Banana and blueberry muffin. Thankyou Sweet Bones for these tasty treats.

Nice

Got the big ol’ Brekky. The tofu scramble was nice, the rest was a bit hit and miss. The coconut bacon is actually just coconut flakes so I’m not sure why they refer to it as bacon. They also had gluten free food with the wrong label so be careful if you are coeliac. And the man before us who ordered the same as me, received a portion that was about twice the size of mine so that was a bit disappointing, would’ve been nice to have more tofu and beans.

Pros: Good food

Cons: No coconut bacon , Poor labelling of allergies , Inconsistent portion sizes

Mostly Vegan but Serves Dairy

A diverse menu with some fan favourites, and some more unique options. I got the pancakes and they were really good, and reasonably priced.

There is signage advertising this cafe as a vegan cafe, however they serve cow's milk for drinks. I was disappointed that dairy was the default and there is a surcharge for plant milks.

The venue is accessible and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Pros: Wheelchair and pram accessible

Cons: Serves dairy milk

Love this place!

This place is fantastic! I love their pancakes, their burgers and their cupcakes.... Actually I love all their food! The people are friendly, it's in a lovely spot and has a great atmosphere.

Went to update my original review (from 2016) in July 2024, but nothing to change. It’s still awesome!!!

Yum!

Delicious options at Sweet Bones bakery. Happy Cow says it's vegetarian, but the sign on the front of the cafe says vegan. Anyway, I had the big breakky and my husband had the pancakes, and we both had a soy latte each. Everything was demolished. So good and highly recommend. Bonus cute little swan decal on the coffees.

Big boned

It’s just like the Braddon store except bigger. This is massive praise. If this one is closer go here.

The special Reuben is great! But the spicy Jack burger is still my favourite

Why milk?

I’m glad that Happy Cow has this properly listed as a vegetarian and not vegan establishment. The business promotes itself as “vegan” on its own signage and there was a sticker on their register that read, hypocritically, “post milk generation.” I say hypocritically since they strangely offer cow’s milk “just for coffee” as their employee told me. That makes no sense whatsoever for a business that is otherwise all vegan. The food was very good and the the baked goods were also great. I just wish they would lose the gross milk or change their own messaging to use “plant-based” and not vegan.

Pros: Great breakfast options, Great selection of baked goods

Cons: They serve cow’s milk.

Great Food, Excellent Cupcakes!!

I love dining at this place. Parking isn't easy to find but it is well worth the wait. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic. I seem to be completely incapable of leaving the store without at least three cupcakes! They've even made tempeh taste delicious (try the TLT)! I wish they'd run a cooking class for the cupcakes, I could eat them all day!

Pros: Cupcakes, Their support for a local animal sanctuary, Great vibe

Not worth the hype

The food was okay but not worth the hype all around. The deserts and the drinks were particularly bad. We ordered the below:

Kids pancacke - Good
Mcmuffin - Very good
Brownie - Nahhh tastes like piece of mud
Orange cupcake - Good
Mocha - Noo, it was better a latte nor a mocha but something in between
Hot Chocolate - Strict No (kids review)

Pros: Food Options

Cons: Ambience, Food Quality, Price

Cold nachos?

I know we vegans don’t have much in the way of cheese to melt but cold nachos? These had all the making of a very yum dish (disclaimer: the coconut taste is pretty pronounced) but they were cold! Would still recommend but be warned

Pros: All vegan
