Raw Vegan Curry Bowl is lit - Edit
Flavorful and spiced very well. Their lentil soup which was the vegan option of the day was a great protein hit. Their dessert menu is next level but was too stuffed to try.

😋 Walnut Burger - Edit
So I was suspect of the Walnut Burger because it looked somewhat dry in the images. It’s is 💯 not dry. It is moist and has a tasty texture. I ate the whole thing with a side of Carrot Slaw.

Lunch stop - Edit
Nice little restaurant with an attached small organic store. We received a soup stated that was yummy lentil soup. We were joined by our omni friends. We shared the walnut burger and avocado toast. Both were very good. I would definitely come back for the toast, and add a little red pepper to it.

Raw vegan 🌱 - Edit
After so many years of coming to Melbourne/cocoa, I was surprised never to have seen this place. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Their market is well stocked with top quality items like glaser organic farm ice cream, nut butters and snacks. The restaurant was great too. We had the stuffed avocado, raw vegan sushi, vegan walnut burger and they made my son vegan tacos with their walnut meat which was delicious. To finish we had the carrot cake and it was perfect! Very happy to find another place with quality raw vegan food.

Nice grocery/restaurant - Edit
I went in to check out the store and ended up ordering soup to go. The store has organic products - some fresh items too. They have a really nice line of essential oils. Elaine was there running the store. The essential oils are her brand. She was very nice and knowledgeable.
Read moreThe restaurant is not 100% vegan but they did have some vegan options. I ordered their lentil soup to go. It was good.

Very Good - Edit
I had the lentil soup (very good), the eggplant sandwich with avocado ( good but a touch oily), garbanzo bean salad (very good) and a piece of raw chocolate coconut cake (very good). Service is great (our waitress was vegan) and atmosphere is very laid back. Recommend giving it a try, glad we went.

Raw. Vegan. Chocolate. - Edit

Great service - Edit
We had a fantastic time despite my many food intolerances. The very kind waitress took my list of foods, asked questions, went to the kitchen and came back with a couple entre choices. I really appreciated that as often people get frustrated with my SIBO list since I am also a vegetarian (former vegan).

Cons: Serve carnivores, Played some country music

Good Food but Over Priced - Edit
We were looking for an organic cafe and happened into The Jungle. The small cafe looked inviting. We went for lunch and were seated quickly. They brought out samples of soup and we chose one. It was a little salty but still tasty. We ordered sandwiches. The pictures on the menu and descriptions mislead because they are written in such a way that the sandwich will be large and filling. These were small and like a regular home made on very small bread. The price did not reflect the size. Way over priced for what we got. The taste was okay. I will not be back to The Jungle for lunch or dinner. I will however shop in their store for organic goods.

Everything is Excellent! - Edit
The only thing this place needs is its own chunk of real estate, I would be willing to bet many people have driven by this place without seeing the sign let alone what lies behind it's drab facade. They did a marvelous job decorating the inside. After entering, the name Jungle begins to make sense, not overbearing though. No loud animal noises either, only the sounds of the waterfall and the playing of nice music. The Staff was great, our server was great, and the place has a small grocery store adjacent to it where they sell micro beer and quite a selection of wine. This place had a lot of time and effort put into it and I wish them the best.

Cute Little Resturant! - Edit
What a nice resturant in a small seaside town! Although they didn't have vegan options on the menu, as soon as I said I was vegan the waiter quickly pointed out how a few of the dishes could be modified.
Read moreI had the bean burrito without the cheese. The ingredients tasted really fresh and the menu said that everything was organic, which is always a plus.
The resturant is part of a nice little health food store where you can find many things to take home. I enjoyed a soy "ice cream" after my meal.
The atmosphere was very cool and relaxing. We sat next to a water fall. I would certainly reccomend a visit if you are in the area.
Pros: Fresh organic food., Very accomadating., Friendly staff.
Cons: No vegan options on menu., Small selection.

Scrumptious Food/Outrageous Prices - Edit
First time trying The Jungle, we paid $60 for breakfast (two adults and two young children who had kids meals). Normally, at nearby conventional restaurants, we pay $30-35 for a comparable breakfast. Granted, organic is pricey. And, I would not have minded paying $40-45 for our meal. But, $60 (before tip) was outrageous.
Read moreThat said, the food was nothing short of amazing! They do need more vegan options.
Pros: Amazing food, Very themed decor
Cons: Price! Price! Price!, Not many vegan choices

Soups, Salads, and service - Edit
since the recent menu changed, that is about all this vegan goes to the jungle to get. You can almost daily count on a vegan soup, and if its not everyday its at least 4 days a week. Salads are always great choices too for the vegan customer...Its a great place, local, easy to get to! Keep up the good work! If you havent seen it, check the place out!
