Relaxed vibe with healthy food

Right in the centre of Castlemaine, and very near the station, is this cafe with unfussy decor, friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. We've had coffee and cake in the morning (vegan tarts and muffins), lunch - where you choose a size (bowl or takeaway) and select from the range of dishes. We're now Thursday night regulars with our own three-tier tiffin tin to collect a tasty vegetarian meal (and I've seen other regulars asking for the vegan option). The cafe is a social enterprise with profits supporting the Growing Abundance Project which harvests and shares food in the Castlemaine area, and runs the local school canteen - introducing students to healthier food, including vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Pros: Delicious seasonal food, Great variety, Social enterprise

Cons: Not all vegetarian, Not open at the weekend - except for catering
