Fantastic little vegan cafe

I had a Not Chicken Sammy and Oreo Brownie and they were both delicious. Lots of yummy vegan cabinet food, I haven't checked out the menu yet, but I'm sure it's yummy too. Definitely will be visiting again.

Delicious 95% Vegan Café

Had a delicious smoothie and wellness. Staff are all friendly and lots of yummy cabinet treats. #Veganuary. Non-vegan friends were impressed.

Food is good but takeaway only

Used to really like the food and vibe there. Unfortunately, they’re doing takeaway only.

Amazing range of food and super friendly staff

Their savoury scones, slices, pies and sausage rolls are flavoury, have great texture and are a good serving size. There are plenty of gf options and their coffee is bold and smooth. All food is vegan!

Pros: Friendly staff, Good range, Tasty

Amazing vegan food

What a lovely experience to find this cafe that is completely vegan - they do sell cow’s milk but have loads of other plant based milks. We had the buckwheat hotcakes on our first visit there and they were delicious. Light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Topped with grilled bananas, berries and coconut cream and maple syrup. We also had their ‘not chicken’ sandwiches for lunch and went back the next morning for a PB & J smoothie and apple and date muffin. If you are vegan and even if you aren’t you seriously need to go and enjoy some lovely food. The staff are also really nice.

Woah the Pb jelly smoothie I had here was phenomenal, I also had the rice pudding which was exceptional and still makes my mouth water to think of. My server was super lovely and the place had a great vibe

Disappointing on multiple occasions

I’ve here multiple times, food is yum but the service part is not good! Forgotten smoothie one time, another time received a small coffee when paid for a large, and forgotten ingredient on meal (no dressing with wellness bowl, I didn’t realise they didn’t put it on I just assumed the dish was dry, only realised they had completely left it off when leaving and saw someone had a dressing with theirs). Only disappointing tasting food/drink ive had there is the passionfruit raspberry smoothie, SO tart, couldnt drink it, otherwise food is yum! I’ve given them plenty of opportunities to make up for previous service but am continually disappointed, probably not going to go any more as im not happy paying that much for food/drinks I dont receive 😞

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Yummy food

Cons: Bad service, Forgetting orders, missing ingredients

Good food - unreasonable prices

This place had a great vibe, the staff were super friendly and it was so nice to see a full vegan shop. A little disappointed by a few things. Firstly, the prices are not very reasonable. I will always support a vegan cafe regardless but this was definitely a con for me. Also, I noticed the pies in the cabinet were vegan pies that you can get from the supermarket. We ordered a toasted sandwich and it was very small with no side salad or anything, and pretty expensive.

On the plus side, the smoothie and cookie we got was fantastic. I think we just got the wrong thing. I am keen to try their brownies!

Spectacular

The Poke Bowl was one of the best meals I’ve had in NZ. Fresh ingredients and interestingly prepared (I haven’t had silken tofu pan fried so well). Borderline healthy, even! Highly recommend.

Pros: High quality , Unique foods compared to most other vegan places , Good value

Lovely surprise

We did not expect the world after we got advice from the local information office that there was a vegan café in town: The food at this pleasantly minimalistic place was heavenly. We ordered a vegan fry-up and loved it. The tofu was marinated in a smoky fashion which suited the homestyle baked beans, fresh spinach and two kinds of spread stylishly garnished at the edge of the plate: what a treat. Will return one day with great pleasure.

Pros: Pure vegan

Cons: None

Seriously the best

Such a huge fan of this place! My husband and I travel to Tauranga from Rotorua as often as possible just to come to Nourished and it is worth the trip every single time.

Amazing all day menu that includes breakfast, brunch and lunch options, savoury and sweet cabinet food and the best coffees and smoothies.

Pros: Great food, Cute and cozy vibes

The best donuts

This place is fully vegan (except of choice of dairy milk for coffee) so we really enjoyed time here. There are so many great things on menu for good prices. Meal was amazing and donuts were incredible awesome!

Worth the wait!

My husband and I had a delicious lunch at The Nourished Eatery today. We ordered the jackfruit burger and the nourish burger, cut them in half and shared. We were one of only a few tables and the others seemed to only be having coffee and cake. The burgers took a while to come out but we didn't mind as we weren't in a hurry and they were super filling and flavorsome!
We also got a choc mint brownie and choc banana loaf takeaway which we are yet to try but boy do they look incredible.
This place is a must try if you're vegan!

Pros: Burgers were delicious!, Baked goods looked INCREDIBLE and not boring "raw", Small but varied menu.

Cons: Long wait once ordering (not an issue for us)
