So tasty I went back twice in a day - Edit
Was recommended by two vegan friends for their cakes…but I began with the truffle oil pasta with artichokes. It was beyond delicious! A friend with he got Taiwanese sesame paste cold noodle - their comment was “Very healthy and healthy tasty snack”. Went back later the same day with two friends and had the berry crepe cake, which I’ve seen made plenty of times on YouTube but never made myself…was great to try, fresh and creamy. Friends got (1) brew chai with almond milk and maple syrup and said “Good proper brew chai”, (2) a Sesame iced latte - which was “Refreshing and perfect” and (3) a Lemon macaron, which they said “It delightfully tasted of nuttelex”. Good time had by all and I love the best coffee cups!!

Super tasty! To-die-for chicken - Edit
The chicken and waffles were A M A Z I N G. I've been vegan for 25 years and it was the best veg chicken I've ever eaten. We also went to Rude Boy (who specialise in chicken) for dinner, and the Little Poet chicken was better. The vibes here were super cute, the coffee was lovely, and the desserts were amazing. The only thing we didn't like was the vegan egg (we ordered it on the side) — it was so vile I could barely swallow it. Still, everything else was amazing and I would 100% come again.

Cool vibe, cute mugs - Edit
I had a big breakfast and the Taiwanese pancake both of which were nice with the Taiwanese pancake being the star (make sure to ask for vegan and add extras if you want). To echo others, I was keen to try the cakes but seemed expensive for what they were. Overall I really liked it but found the menu a bit confusing, like when something was or wasn't vegan but still a great option in Hobart!

There once was a boy from Nantucket - Edit
Righto. So the space is kinda nice. Coffee range was good, and they cared about specifying between vegan and egg or milk options.
Read moreHowever, the food is exactly what you could make in 5 minutes given access to Coles veg section and a sandwich press. That's not terrible if you're travelling and miss the comfort of a home cooked toastie or a V2 schnitzel with a bag of 4 leaf lettuce. But the price sure stings given you're probably familiar with all the ingredients.
In the end it was exactly fine, not bad but not excellent. If they had longer opening hours I might bump it to 4 stars for convenience, but for now it'll stay a basic 3.
Oh also the matcha cookie was horrible.
Cons: Matcha Cookie

Wow! - Edit
This place is just beautiful. I tried the special - French toast, which I’ve not had since going vegan 13 years ago, and it was next level! The coffee was great too. The decor was lovely and the staff were really nice as well. I’ll be back for sure! #Veganuary

Amazing dishes, you can veganize almost anything - Edit
The menu might seem confusing, since they highlight vegan alternatives and other descriptions just say "egg" or "cheese". You can order almost anything vegan, and I'd definitely go for the matcha macaroon at any time. The lunch dishes are creative, but this place work best as a breakfast or brunch spot in my opinion. I loved the nuanced flavors, and technique seems crucial here, because I'm pretty sure I tried the same or similar products in Sydney and didn't like them as much as here. If you do order the ham and egg bagel, ask without ketchup/tomato sauce, and it will probably blow your mind.

Nice Place But Horrible Bun - Edit
The Kim chi burger was the worst I have had. The bun was not fresh nor good quality. Even the non chicken filling was too chewy.

A local gem - Edit
We visited this place based on Happy Cow reviews and it didn’t disappoint! In fact, I’ve loved it so much I want to keep going there to try as much as I can on the menu while we’re staying in Hobart. Yesterday I tried the Taiwanese sesame paste cold noodles (with homemade truffle sauce) and had prana chai with soy milk and maple syrup. Both were exactly what I was in the mood for and truly delicious! My husband had the Buddha bowl - he says it was fab, had great textures and was plenty to eat. Today we tried their big brekkie and had the chai again. Once more, the meal was excellent - great combination of flavours, fresh and filling. Surprisingly for a place with such yummy food, it wasn’t too busy and the staff are lovely & attentive without hovering.
