Urban Projuice

We headed to Albert Park to check out this place specially. It had a pleasant busy cafe atmosphere and a decent amount of seating, including a courtyards and an upstairs room where we sat. As ever, I looked straight for the burger, and it was a tempeh burger at $22. Recently I've been cursing when I see burgers over $20 but I'm starting to think it might be the new normal. The burger was a decent size with a huge slab of tempeh, which unfortunately was not cooked or flavoured well, relying on the other ingredients to mask its plain taste and dry texture. However, I still enjoyed the burger. My companion ordered the Fritter Deluxe, which I sampled and found delicious: more savoury than I'd expected and the tofu ricotta complemented it well. I checked the cabinet and noticed a number of vegan cakes and muffins reasonably priced.

This place is fabulous! I had vegan waffles and a soy mocha for brunch, both of which were delicious! It's a lovely location with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were great. I'm looking forward to coming again and trying the many other vegan meals they have available!

It's a shame Urban Projuice is a little out of the way or we would happily have eaten here every day of our stay in Melbourne!

Despite being really busy, all the staff were super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in this bright little café was comfortable and welcoming.

Food ranges from "lighter" breakfast options like smoothies, bowls, and granola, to heartier sweet breakfasts like pancakes with coconut ice cream, to savoury brunch options like scrambles, a tempeh burger, fritters, and salads. They also have smaller bites or takeaway options like muffins, raw treats, pies and sausages rolls, and wraps and enchiladas.

We tried the Arnold Schwarzanana smoothie (delicious and thick), tofu scramble (huge but a bit heavy on the spinach), buckwheat pancakes (gigantic stack of thick pancakes piled with fresh fruit and swimming in maple syrup, delicious but maybe a bit sweet), tempeh burger (incredible, thick juicy umami-filled tempeh patty, piles of spiralised carrot and perfectly cooked kale, just the right amount of creamy satay sauce, on a fluffy lightly toasted Turkish bun) and house granola (perfect blend of chewy and crunchy, not too sweet, served with juicy berry compote and a smear of coconut yoghurt, along with a side of non-dairy milk).

We loved everything, portions were huge - and they didn't skimp on the "fancy" ingredients - and beautifully plated. Although it looks on the pricy side, we found we were too full to eat until dinner so we got our value for money!

Only disappointment is not having been able to eat there more often!

I like that all the food is actually vegan by default and those that want cows milk or eggs have to specify/add them. Since it's more common for vegetarian places to be veggie with 'vegan options', I just wanted to acknowledge this concept - I genuinely believe more folks will try the vegan (default) options as a result - good work, urban projuice!

I've visited twice and loved both the deluxe fritters and big breakfast (with scrambled tofu) that I tried. My (omni) friends also loved the tempeh burger, buckwheat pancakes and banana chocolate muffins, so that was a big win for vegan food right there. The soy milk they use for the lattes is really nice and creamy. My only (very minor) criticism is that I found the lean green juice a bit too sweet - probably too much apple and not enough kale for my taste, so if you like your green juice to taste like vegetables I'd probably steer clear of the lean green...

I always find it difficult to find a cafe with vegan choices for brunch on a Sunday. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while. There were lots of choices for vegans, sweet and savoury breakfast. I found it difficult to choose but eventually went with the coconut crepe. It was so tasty. I loved the pulp fiction juice too. The service was efficient and friendly. They don't take bookings on weekend so we sat on a shared table. I'm planning my next visit!

Located wrong on map but just around the corner.
Very nice place, great menu and outdoor seating if your bringing your fury friend with you. The only thing was that the stuff were very rude, after being sprayed with boiling water from the coffee Machine while I was having a look at the vegan cakes (delicious) and make my order, there was no apology or anything just "oh did that get you" and after quite a few other comments from the stuff it didn't make me feel welcome or like I would want to go back in a hurry.. Unfortunately.

This place is awesome and has been classified incorrectly. Passionate and helpful staff. Amazing food and juices are WOW! Mainly vegan menu.

..along with great natural beauty products. I will be back to sample the food:)
