Super sweet - Edit
I have been going here for years, even when it was still in the mini mall. It’s changed over the years, but it still has its OG premise. The menu is large and overall pretty good. The coffee is reallllly good, and the cinnamon buns rule. The only things I don’t like are the wait time for food, I’ve waited almost an hour for food on several occasions and the staff are a bit up themselves, so I always get a friend to order for me.

Pros: Dope Mexican menu, Heaps of options, Excellent cakes and coffee
Cons: Subpar wheelchair access, Bit speno

Use to be better - Edit
I use to eat here every payday. Now last time I was there I saw the coffee maker using COW milk! Hello that’s not vegan! So how can I trust that the sweets are vegan?
Read moreBut anyway- the bacon cheese burger is amazing (obviously it’s plant based)
This place had good memories.
Pros: Good food , Variety
Cons: They serve cow milk , No parking , Snobby staff

Hipster central if you like that kind of thing - Edit
Admittedly I went in with high expectations which perhaps made a difference and a lot of these are just personal preferences on food.
Read moreThe food was fairly bland and tended towards the raw and expensive side. Nothing wrong with raw food but I don't think vegetarian necessarily equates to uncooked; I prefer my meals warmer especially with the costs involved.
I had some kind of breakfast mix that had cold mushroom mix with 'coconut bacon' which were really just desiccated coconut flakes. There was also some bread, but the toppings didn't have enough taste...
The service seemed disinterested and keen to get us out because of how busy it was. I was happy to oblige.
Pros: All vegan food, hipster vibe
Cons: Bland, cold, hipster vibe

Really satisfying - Edit
The food here is really great- I had the breakfast burger and it was so satisfying. I’ll definitely head back. Only weird thing was if you ask for plant milk with your coffee they charge extra like a normal cafe- they’re a completely vegan restaurant so I’m not sure why it’s extra no matter what milk you use? Is regular milk an option at all?
Read morePros: Really good flavours, Entirely vegan menu
Cons: Bit weird but they charge extra for plant milk?, Bit expensive

Favourite Vegan Cafe - Edit
So many favourites at Sweet Bones, everything on their menu is wholesome and delicious. My favourite are the TLT sandwich (tempeh lettuce tomato) and the nachos and the Oreo cheesecake!!
Read moreTheir smoothies are amazing and super healthy! And last but not least, their desserts are both beautiful and tasty, and they make stunning cakes for birthdays, weddings, or any other cake related occasion.
It does get busy there so sometimes it’s a struggle to get an indoors table, but that’s only because the food is so damn good that everyone wants to go there

No happy faces here - Edit
Miserable staff member let it down. I got a bowl with the the bare minimum. Asked for avo! Got charged for it! But didn’t get it!! Too hard basket to try and claim it.
Read moreCool atmosphere. I’d say it’s most certainly overpriced for what you get.
Maybe I should just go for the sweet baked goods. I suppose that is what they are prob best at doing. Still grateful for a vegan cafe.
Pros: Vegan
Cons: Expensive , Lacking taste

Cute aesthetic - Edit
The food is great but can be a little bit overpriced. The staff are good at their jobs but don't go out of their way to help you. It is always busy here and they don't take reservations. Good coffee! We love their pancakes and the tofu scramble.

Fabulous! - Edit
Smoothies, soft coconut ice cream and sundaes, baked treats, full breakfasts served all day, Tex-Mex themed dishes, sandwiches, bowls, burgers and more. I had the Soul Bowl, $17.50: avo, sauerkraut, roast pumpkin, spinach, brown rice (cold), and I chose the cashew tamari dressing. I took away a roasted pumpkin-‘ricotta’ roll (nice flaky pastry) and a big chocolate-chip cookie. WiFi available. Next visit, I had the Big Breakfast, $19.50: generous serving of loaded tofu scramble topped with spiced seeds, hummus, avo, coconut bacon, toasted sourdough. Filling and tasty. I took away a BBQ seitan-mac-n-cheese wrap, $17.50, which was hefty and good.

I'd like to give this place a Sweet Bone - Edit
Everything on the menu is 10/10. Can't go past the Big Brekkie or the TLT. Decadent peanut butter cups too.
Read moreAlthough it's listed as vegetarian, all food is vegan. The only dairy they use is for coffees.
Pros: The name gave me plenty of space for a pun title.
Cons: Had to visit with my girlfriend.

Food is good, but really overpriced. - Edit
For a vegan cafe, it’s a bit rich that they charge a $1 surcharge for all vegan milk except soy. With already high prices, things start to get expensive. The food is good, but I resent being gouged. Rarely go there anymore.
Read morePros: Almond brownie is nice, They have cashew milk
Cons: They will charge you extra for the cashew milk, Some staff are pretty rude, Service can be slow

Canberra vegan institution - Edit
4 words - vegan all day breakfast. Tofu scramble, coconut bacon, tomato, avocado, hummus, seeds, spinach & 2 giant slices of sourdough. Yes, yes & more yes. While its sometimes so busy seating can be at a premium, it's worth waiting for.
