I love this place!!! - Edit
I have been here several times and have always found the service wonderful and the food delicious. Today I had the Avocado Stack (a generous portion of avocado on top of two large hasbrowns) with a side of Garlic Mushrooms. I also bought some biscoffi buns and Blackforest buns to take away. They are AMAZING!!

OMG - the Living wage breakfast - Edit
My husband (carnivore) and I (vegan) shared the living wage breakfast and we both loved it so much. The tomatoes and the mushrooms, oh my god the mushrooms. Wow

There’s a dining room at the back! Plenty of seats. It’s not obvious at the front, but the staff pointed me the right way.

Til I'm lost and found - Edit
A welcoming ethical place with quite a banging brunch menu in central Wellington on the corner of Cuba. We had the Living Wage Breakfast at $23.65 (Hash browns, sausages, Not Fried Eggs, roasted cherry tomatoes, smashed avocado and garlic mushrooms) and the Sausage and Egg on hash-browns which was $12. Nothing that would persuade me to return but a most satisfying and unique brunch especially their take on eggs which is like a small round pancake with a yolk of yellow scrambled tofu on top.

vegan food for junk food cravings! - Edit
These guys do great snacks, deserts and meals too! If you want a milk shake and some cookies this is your place! Some of the cakes are super super sweet but if you got a sweet tooth you will love it!

Fantastic! - Edit
[Review is from 2020 - apologies for tardiness!!]
Read moreWe popped in for lunch (our first ever visit) and were looked after really well by Simone, who was absolutely fantastic! She was really friendly, helpful and happily answered my (many) queries about their food :)
This is an awesome vegan cafe with yummo food. They also have (had?) a 'Pay it forward' system where you can buy a voucher for someone else to use for a meal, which is a really nice service to see in these difficult times.
We'll definitely be back next time we're in Wellington!! Oh, and with veganism on the rise (yay), it'd be great to see them open another cafe in Christchurch!!! Fingers crossed :)
Pros: Great food, Great staff, Cosy cafe
Cons: A long way from Christchurch :(

I wasn't a huge fan of the eggs and meat substitutes but I think if I had tried something else I would probably have liked it. Definitely worth checking out

Loved the living wage breakfast. Really interesting “fried egg”. Bright and happy ambience. Portion sizes were a bit big, resulting in food waste #Veganuary

Always go back for more! - Edit
I've been here a few times now, it's just amazing to have a place where you can have delicious donuts and tofu burgers when you don't feel like veganising a recipe to make it yourself. Beautiful food, cute little place.

Not for me - Edit
Not into the pushing of hyper left propaganda, stories about autoimmune diseases on the wall yet selling *only* junk food. Not impressed by the menu, staff or location. So not for everybody.
Read moreMenu was disappointing, not really food, everything was deep fried. Had the brownie which was okay, but decided to eat somewhere else.

Brunch Sorted! - Edit
We stumbled upon Sweet Release and were so excited when we realised what this cafe stands for. Vegan, gf and allergen friendly as much possible, and a cafe that pays their workers a liveable wage- yes please! The food was basic brunch fair, but all cooked well and presented beautifully. Their Iced Brown Sugar Lattes are our top recommendation!
