Vegan breaky and lunches

Had the jackfruit tacos then came back the next day for the vegan breaky. They also had toasted vegan wraps, a vegan lentil pie and some other stuff

Some good options

A few decent options for vegetarian and fully vegan meals on the menu and in the cabinet. Coffee is great too!

Great options in a small town

Fair few vegan options on the menu and in the display case. The all day breakfast & the display options were very tasty. Very celiac aware and get change dishes around as required. Coffee was pretty good to.

Small Town Stop

Nice find in a small town. I think I was there just after lunch rush so they seemed to be out of a lot of items. I had the vegan roll which was basically a veggie burger, which had good flavor but needed more greens or a salad maybe plus a lemon custard type bar dessert that was quite good.

A surprise visit

I did not expect to find vegan options here. They had a vegan wrap and a bap and also a curry lentil hot pie. I also saw a sign for cookies that were vegan but they were sold out.

Pros: A few vegan options available , Quick service

Need for Greed

Cool place. The Greedy Breakfast has a vegan option, with mushrooms, tofu, spinach, potato, toast, and specialty baked beans. Aside from that, there's a couple of vegan options on display, like a vegan wrap, that are pretty cheap compared to similar options elsewhere in NZ.

Good vegan option and quite cheap

We were glad to see 2 vegan options. We came late so there were no more sweets in the cabinet so we don't know if they would have something vegan or not.
We had the vegan wrap which was OK, curry spices with chickpeas inside.

Pros: Prices are ok

Nice breakfast

I got an almond milk latte and the vegan Greedy Cow breakfast which is tofu, spinach, mushrooms, beans, toast, and a hash brown type square. The coffee was nice and the breakfast was pretty nice. Not amazing but pretty good. They have a lot of other vegan options so I'd probably pick one of the sandwiches or wraps next time.

Great coffee, good food

The Greedy Cow seems to be one of the only affordable options at Lake Tekapo. The coffee was good, I nabbed some freshly baked cinnamon scrolls and muffins for only $5 each and there were a couple of vegan breakfast options. Atmosphere is nice, they have large wooden tables and the place looks new and comfortable.

Pros: In house baked goods , Good coffee , Nice big tables

Cons: None

Yummy vegan wrap

Vegan wrap (with chick pea and spinach) is yummy. Served warmed. Sadly returned the next day after kitchen had closed so could not try the other vegan options on the menu. Quite a popular spot. Probably the only place in tekapo with decent vegan options which are clearly labelled.

Nice options

I was surprised to find vegan options for breakfast and lunch at this café. For a quick lunch stop the vegan ciabatta is a great option to have.

Pros: Lovely staff, Average prices

Good breakfast and lunch options

Had lots of vegan options. I had the smashed avo with edamame and mushrooms which was amazing. My friend had a sandwich from the cabinet which she said was really good too. Venue did smell of bacon but had outdoor seating. Everything is clearly labeled as vegan option available etc so very easy to navigate.

Pros: Lots of options, Reasonable price, Tasty food

Cons: Bacon smell

Delicious!

Was very happy to find this place - clearly labelled options both cabinet and menu, got the big breakfast and it did not disappoint, almost had to roll out I was so full! The potato cake was 10/10 - will head back tomorrow for sure

Pros: Plenty of options , Well priced for this area , Friendly welcoming staff

Cons: No sweet things but suspect lack of demand atm

Giant vegan breakfast

You can order the vegetarian big breakfast and ask them to replace the egg with more tofu or mushrooms. Tasty and substantial.

very vegan friendly

they had one vegan sandwich on display and two vegetarian brekki options that can be made vegan. they also sell kombuchas and juices in the fridge.
the staff was very accommodating towards our vegan requests. I had a hot and iced chai latte with almond milk and plant-based choc cookies (packaged, not made inhouse). We also ordered the avo toast with edamame and mushrooms. it was also very busy. I guess it’s the most popular cafe in this town.

Pros: friendly staff, reasonable prices
