Great restaurant!

We ate here for breakfast. I had the big brekkie, my husband has the avocado with toast with tofu scramble. All delicious! I would highly recommend.

Airy and bright

Went here at 1pm, when both the breakfast and lunch menus were in effect.
Ordered the Mee Goreng, which was nicely cooked with tofu and crunchy beans. The sauce seemed to have a slight satay flavour, which I don't like and wasn't expecting, otherwise it was very good.
I'd been to the Richmond location when it was still open, and enjoyed the okonomiyaki, which they also have on the St Kilda menu.
The male staff member was very friendly, and I liked the airy bright aesthetic. It's in a great location and I would come back.

Amazing food

Finding this place after Luna Park was the best that could have happened to my friend and I. The food was amazing and it's so nice to have so many options to choose from. Even my friend who is not veggie loved it.

Unpleasant, rude customer service and overpriced

It was an unpleasant experience.
One waitress seemed very snooty &judgy. Overall they just didn't seem accommodating. My gf is relatively new to being veggo and also her tastes are quite bland so she essentially she wanted a chik'n burger without the sauces, corriander, chilli and onion & was told it was not possible even though it's not like it was mixed in. I asked for her to just check it this was possible and I saw her laughing with other staff at the counter and one of the staff looked over at us which is absolutely disgusting. My gf was told in a judgy tone she couldn't have a satay burger without the satay sauce. But it's not like there was other burgers to choose from and other choices like tofu and jackfruit are very unfamiliar for her and she's not really a salad person. She likes tvp but not with the flavours they had. She then settled for chips. Admittedly because the chips came out first I ate some because I was hungry. As it wasn't a large bowl of chips she attempted to order another small bowl and was told they were now limiting chips to only side serves. I asked if she could have a side serve considering we had ordered 2 main meals and was told no. So my partner had eaten not even a full small bowl of chips. By this stage I was so uncomfortable with the way the waitress treated my gf, we left early without finishing my meal or ordering dessert.
Plenty of people don't like coriander, onion, chilli's or various sauces and wiat staff should be accommodating of different tastes and be flexible to extract something that can easily be removed so that someone can have a decent meal.
We went elsewhere to a nearby vegan cafe so that my gf could eat and both the food and customer service was so much better!!
We definitely won't be going back to Sister of Soul again.
2 stars is the minimal stars I could leave, I would leave zero stars if I could.

Cons: Customer service, Overpriced food and drinks and small serves, Unable to accommodate different tastes

Love this place!

Sister of Soul is a go-to. Amazing food & coffee, great location and lovely staff! SOS have a large variety of dishes - something for everyone!
My personal fav’s are the tofu scramble, satay tempeh bowl & polenta chips! 😍

Very nice breakfast spot

Wonderful tasty breakfast. The big breakfast was great as well as the mushroom toasties, the fritters and the umami french toast. The food was so good we went there twice to try more of the menu!
Visiting from Sydney and went here on our first day. After a 6am flight it was the perfect refuel!

Pros: Big breakfast, Umami french toast, Much room toastie

Cons: The waiter on our second trip seemed very grumpy

Açai Bowl

Was craving an açai bowl and they delivered. Menu has so many good plant based options. Would give a 5 star but they added eggs onto their menu sometime last year which I find ridiculous and disappointing.

Nice Spot

Second time here was better than first one and the food was fab! Loved the smashed avo and the açai was very good as well.

Had a lovely time here. The scrambled tofu tasted a bit watery though..

Fantastic!

We absolutely loved this place in St Kilda. The food is delicious and great to share. The Japanese pancake is definitely a recommendation as well as the panna cotta. The staff is very friendly, and made us feel right at home.

lively location

their polenta and cocktails were divine. however, i found their “mildly spicy” meals to be quite spicy so be careful if u have low spice tolerance.

Delicious food+drinks

On our table, we tried the vegan chai, the LSD dandelion latte, and the magic mushroom drink. They were all so tasty! The LSD one being a real highlight!

I ate the big brekkie, which was very tasty. The rostis in particular were delicious!

Pros: Delicious vegan drinks, Large portion size, Tasty rostis

Ok - not plantbased

I had tofu scramble on toast which was okay. Bit bland and dry though. Bit weird that they advertise plantbased diet and sell vegan accessories such as tote bags and then serve eggs. Confusing.

Pros: Nice atmosphere

Cons: Serve eggs but advertise plantbased diet

Bad vibes

The manager is rude and sassy to staff and customers. The food was okay but the vibe was horrible. I’d recommend you go elsewhere

Cool but spenny

So many great reviews so we thought we'd give it a shot.
Upon arrival the server was a bit rude and unfriendly so not a great start, but the other servers were all very nice and the service was quick.
The food was tasty, but rather small portions for the price of the dishes.
We were then charged an extra 20% surcharge which we were not expecting as we were not told this when ordering. We understand 10% but maybe they could mention the 20% upon arrival.
A busy place with a cool atmosphere.

Brunch spot

Has breakfast until 3pm. Found the big breakfast to be tasty. Not exceptional and a bit expensive but it was a public holiday. The service was friendly and quick. Husband had the French toast which he didn’t really like but seemed to be more my style. I thought that was delicious. I ended up with a slice of that. #Veganuary

Fantastic Vegan Food in St Kilda

Essentially whole menu is vegan, some dishes can be modified to be vegetarian. Okonomiyaki and Mee Goreng were a highlight for sure!

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Reasonably priced!, Vegan Whiskey Sour was fantastic

Cons: Very busy area. Though no wait & good seating

not worth the hype

they fit us in despite it being busy which was nice, although we did call multiple times to secure a booking with no answer. the serving size was quite small and we had to ask for more lettuce with the spring rolls. the food was good but not amazing, and quite expensive for what it was. there was also quite a long wait but it was relatively busy.

Nice hearty lunch

We dropped in for lunch and had a lovely experience. I found many things on the menu that were in my interest but not everyone was In the same boat.

Pros: Good drink menu selection , Decent range of gluten free, Great service

Cons: Cool menu, but not for everyone?
