Nice breakfast and coffee - Edit
Huge range of vegan options, mostly delicious. I tried a few over the week I staued there. The loaded banasna toast was fantastic, and the muffins are great too. The vibe of the place is really cool too. If I lived in Canberra I would be here every morning.

The perfect pit stop - Edit
We stopped here during a road trip, and it was perfect! We sat out the front with our little dog and enjoyed coffees, Reuben sandwich and banana bread. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend

Lovely & Deliscious - Edit
I couldn't have loved this place more- the decor was adorable and the food was great. Loads of options, my husband and I decided to try a bit of quite a few items since we had a full day of flying ahead of us.
Read moreI had the Fun-Guy burger - a but messy but good! My husband had a daily special breakfast burrito with quinoa and veggies - Very Good! We also tried a pumpkin pastry/roll special that was superub, I had the carrot cupcake (loved it) and he had a funfetti cupcake that was gone in a few seconds.
Highly recommend this place!

I just love this place - Edit
This is everything you want a vegan cafe to be (except cheap). The food is great and accessible to non-vegans as well. I wish I lived in Canberra so I could eat here more often. I just wish the venue were twice as big to accommodate all the people who want to eat there. Even though it's crowded, for some reason I loved this place enough to go out of my way to make a second trip during my one week stay for work. This is probably one of my top 5 favorite vegan cafes I've been to. Please go and support this awesome cafe!

super expensive - Edit
I'm not sure why this has the $ sign as it is more like $$$. The dishes and drinks are really expensive. It is also very difficult to get a seat and dairy milk is default in coffee unless you ask otherwise.
Read moreThat said, they do a number of good vegan dishes and it's great to have choice as Canberra doesn't have too much else like it. But it's not much for the price and not very inventive.

Awesome - Edit
I didn't know this place existed until a few days ago and I am so glad I checked it out quickly, I'll definitely be going back regularly.
Read moreEverything is 100% vegan but drinks come default with cow's milk (which I thought was slightly weird but it isn't difficult to ask for an alternative).
The breakfast burrito had a tofu scramble, beans, corn salsa, cheez and brown rice with a side of kale salad. It was super filling and great value for money (only $15).
The chocolate almond brownie was rich, moist and one of the best brownies I've ever had - vegan or not. If you gave it to someone without telling them it was vegan, they would never be able to guess.
Also tried the 'coco whip' which was a coconut milk based version of a soft-serve. There were a handful of different topping options to choose from and we chose "peanut caramel crunch" which was peanuts, cacao nibs and a date-based caramel sauce. The texture of the coco whip itself was a little bit weird but it is a solid dairy-free alternative for a frozen dessert and was really refreshing.
Pros: Great value, Awesome decor and relaxed atmosphere, Friendly staff
Cons: Small - not many tables

I was pleased to find this full vegan place. I had the 'bacon and cheez' buger with a cashew smoothie. It was tasty and the portion was generous. Highly recommended.

All Vegan Except For Cow Milk For Coffee And Tea - Edit
Food was mediocre. We had the Ruben, the nachos and the chicken noodle soup. They were all ok. Nothing special. Something I'd expect from an omnivore who doesn't really know how to cook vegan food.

Excellent Canberra Vegan Lunch Spot! - Edit
I enjoyed an excellent vegan lunch at Sweet Bones on October 20, during a short visit from the United States to Canberra, with an American friend who is based there for three years. My friend (normally an omnivore) had the "Fun Guy Burger" with Portabella mushroom, hummus, roasted red peppers, sprouts, and carrots with cashew tamarin dressing on a Turkish roll. I had the Wildwood Salad with mixed greens, roasted red peppers, carrots, beetroot, sprouts, and spiced seeds in tahini dressing. Both our meals were super fresh and tasty. The fun, attractive, and colorful restaurant space added to the overall very positive experience for my friend and me.

Authenticity compromised - Edit
The cafe says VEGAN cafe from the outside but when I ordered a rooibos latte they served it to me with dairy milk. I was shocked after tasting this revolting cows milk based beverage. When I asked staff they were apologetic but I questioned them by stating 'but this is a vegan cafe'. They made no attempts to explain themselves. It seems that this cafe says they are vegan but use dairy milk as a default for beverages. This is extremely misleading and doesn't give me much confidence in what they may be adding to their baked goods and pancakes, etc. We tried several meals. They all sounded great in writing but all were very dry and little content. The big breakfast was tiny and consistent predominantly of two massive slices of dry rye bread, there were hardly any vegetables in the scramble which was accompanied by three thin slices of raw tomato, about a third of an avocado, a tablespoon of hommos and that's it! This is far from a BIG breakfast and it cost me $20. The smoothies are also terrible, don't bother. It seems that they have a great marketing team who know how to write but they don't know how to deliver on some of their dishes. 80% of what we ate was disappointing or misleading but the 20% that wasn't was delicious.
Read morePros: atmosphere, location, variety
Cons: lack of authenticity/misleading, food that should be warm is cold, costly for what you get
