Not masses of choice, but food is immaculate!

The vegan options are quite limited but my god, the sandwich I had was on another level! The sweet potato fries are the best i’ve ever had in my life.

Pros: Helpful staff, Nice vibe

Cons: Not loads of choice

Expensive but good

I came here when I was specifically craving a breakfast and the build your own breakfast option fulfilled that craving. I spent 50 MYR on the breakfast and a drink. Not the best but good for a little treat

Not many options

Whilst the cafe is lovely, the only vegan option wasn’t available. We were able to build our own breakfast which worked absolutely fine. The mocha was amazing! Bit expensive.

Few vegan options but tasty

all vegan options were unfortunately sold out. Unfortunately, the yoghurt bowl could not be made into a smoothie bowl. I therefore ordered the granola and smoothie separately. that was possible. It was definitely delicious, but unfortunately there weren't that many vegan options.

Pros: yummy, some vegan options, cozy

Cons: vegan options were unfortunately sold out.

Craved Western food 🤷‍♀️

Was told I'd need to wait for a seat as they were so busy, then was seated straight away anyway. The coffee cup size is half of a western "medium". I thought the vegan sandwich was missing the grilled tempeh, but then staff confirmed they blend the tempeh and hummus together. The sandwich had only a tablespoon on it so they brought me more. Disappointing sandwich overall. Very loud restaurant, had to listen to music.

Pros: Soy milk available , Helpful staff , Good location

Cons: Don't understand vegan food, Very small coffee

missing ingredients

a number of options which could be made vegan but not too extensive. ordered the vegan sandwich was was supposed to come with tempeh and onions which it had neither of so was essentially a lettuce and guacamole sandwich with three bits of bread which was fine but not exactly what was expected and it wasn’t too cheap so felt like it wasnt really worth the money. it was very busy when we went though so maybe that had an effect.

Great vibe and service !

I got here around lunch time and there was a slight queue to get in. This was managed really well by the FoH staff who assigned me a number and I waited under ten minutes to be seated. There are plant milk options for coffee and my soy cappuccino was excellent. The vegan sandwich is a generous portion - I only made it through half and the sweet potato fries were delicious. Excellent service and energy!

Great Veg & Omni Options

This cafe has amazing food!! Western cafe food with a range of options for vegetarians, vegan and omni.
The almond milk latte was delicious. There were Vegan Nachos on the menu as well as a big Vegan Sandwich and other options which could be made vegan.
The ordering process and service was easy, quick, and efficient. Staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed but social.
Others at my table ordered the vegetarian Yogurt Bowl (pictured) for RM15.90 and the lunch set with a meat dish, drink and dessert for RM27.
The drinks were a bit expensive and overall the food was more pricey than local food, but the quality and healthiness of the menu was definitely worth it and felt like the chef put a lot of effort into the presentation and flavours of each meal.

Vegan menu on back page

Wheelers has a clear Vegan menu on back of their printed menu, service was attentive and friendly, vegan items were assuredly vegan. The vegan sandwich was generously portioned and delicious with a home made mayonnaise. Sweet potato fries were light and tasty, the almond cappuccino was really delicious and served at the right temperature.

Great atmosphere, light and bright and very clean. Excellent hard working, friendly staff.

Pros: Vegan menu, Well portioned

Amazing Pastas and Coffee

Amazing coffee, soy milk available. I had the Basil Pesto Penne which was tasty and delicious. Good amount of varied Veggie options on the menu, reasonably priced, 17MYR for good size pasta portion. Great free wifi, modern restaurant and friendly staff. Will definitely return again.

One vegan option

I asked what the vegan options were and was pointed to the sandwich. Was told to have without chili flakes as this contained fish. The portion was a really good size. 2 sandwiches and also chips. I was really hungry but if you’re not so hungry this dish could be shared. Generous helping of avocado In the sandwich as well. Bit pricier to what I’m used to paying but it was western food in a tourist area.

Pros: Convenient , Tasty

Cons: Lack of options

Good range of vegan options

We came here for a family breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by the range of vegan options on offer. My daughter and I each ordered the vegan sandwiches and were surprised that each plate came with two whole sandwiches, so would recommend to share if you’re not starving. The food was excellent as was the coffee and service.

Pros: Good range of vegan options, Nice atmosphere , Good coffee

Cons: A little pricey for Malaysia but quality to match

Coffee was delicious but issues with staff

I asked if it would be possible for the veggie panini to be made without cheese, the waitress said yes. Once the sandwich came it had a lot of cheese inside. I told the staff I couldn’t eat it because I’m allergic to dairy and they made me another sandwich l, but I had to pay for the sandwich they made with cheese. The coffee is really good and the vegan sandwich was great.

Soy & Almond Milk + Vegan & Vegetarian Food

[26 July 2018] Popped in for a quick coffee and opted for a cappuccino, which was delicious! Strong, not too sweet and not overly milky. They use V-Soy Original Soya Bean Milk. (They had, unfortunately, run out of almond milk but do offer this too.)

Didn't eat but had a quick glance through the menu - great selection of vegetarian and vegan options - some which are labelled. Have added a few pages from the vast menu to the images. Will definitely be back to treat the tastebuds...

[27 July 2018] Returned for an early lunch and had the 'I'm Vegan' sandwich + another more'ish cappuccino.

The sandwich includes toasted sourdough bread, homemade pesto sauce, hummus, fresh tomato, cucumber, onion, rocket, avocado & sweet potato fries. Plus, some salt + pepper and a little bit of chilli, already on the sandwich.

Super satisfying and incredibly filling!

Notes for next time:
1. Word of caution - The sandwich may be a bit spicy if you're not a keen on a bit of kick - perhaps ask for the chilli spice either on the side or left off. I enjoyed it...
2. For the 'Zero Wasters' - request that you don't need the toothpick with the logo sticker stuck into the meal.
3. Bring your own container for a takeaway if you're a small eater - this is a massive meal.
