Pretty good but no longer a vegetarian cafe

This cafe has changed owners recently and is no longer vegetarian, however they do offer vegan options.
There are very few options in this small town, for breakfast especially, so was grateful they still had vegan options.
I had Avocado on sourdough with dukkah which was tasty but on the small side.
My omni friends liked what they ordered.
Non dairy options for coffee is oat or almond- no soy or coconut available.
Nice little courtyard out the back and seats at the front for doggies

Worth it!

Spent the night in Coromandel, been struggling a little bit to find vegan food in Auckland and was pleasantly surprised to find this place after driving 2.5 hours!!! Friendly staff, considerate of dietary choices (asked about honey etc.) and delicious food!
I’m sad to only be able to try the breakfast food because the lunch menu looks amazing too. Way more options than I thought I would have.

Pros: Amazing food - lots of option, Friendly/helpful staff, Great coffee

Cons: Can’t take the food home to Australia with me

Awesome!

Truly delicious coffee. Cold press with soy milk was divine but they nailed the hot drinks we had there too. Almond chai latte, almond ginger latte and soy decaf latte were all excellent. Vegan options indicated on the menu and sound great although we didn't quite make in for lunch.
Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful too.

Pros: Coffee/Barista made beverages, Vegan options indicated on menu, Great team

Cons: Small space for such a busy, popular cafe

yummy healthy food

Ask for the separate vegan menu. The staff is very friendly, food is yummy. They have a toilet in the backyard and free wifi.

actually not bad for vegan options!

Visited today and although the main menu was fairly heavily cheese-based, there were 2 vegan options on there. When I asked staff about vegan options they actually had another menu behind the bar of a further 6 - 7 strictly vegan meals that they do.

Had a really good meal and the restaurant was super nice, but there were no vegan desserts. However I was told that a new menu begins tomorrow which has vegan desserts. I suspect if I had visited tomorrow then I would have given this place 5 stars

Pros: good food, nice staff, lovely decor!

Cons: no vegan desserts (for now)

An entirely cheese based menu

So don't bother if you're vegan.

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Just soup for vegans, No vegan dessert
