Great option in Dromana

We aren't locals but drove specially to Dromana to try it. I had the nachos and wombat smoothie and my partner had the banana pancakes. I thought both were great. The nachos were huge! The menu is a little limited but will be perfect for us as we are only in the area occasionally.

Chill vegan spot in Dromana, Mornington Peninsula

Fully vegan cafe that does amazing plant-powered brekkie on the Mornington Peninsula. They make pretty bomb vegan smoothies as well.

Tasty vegan food

Nice vegan brunch spot with all the usual brunch options (avo on toast etc), a vegan burger, assorted sandwiches, cakes and rotating specials including daal. The chai was delicious. Prices were reasonable and consistent with other brunch spots.
Bonus: they stock Dilectio cheeses for retail sale (try the blue if you haven’t already).

Great place for brunch or casual lunch

We had the breakie burger and the big breakie plate, both of which were well presented, tasty, and very filling. My gingerbread latte was delicious and the perfect accompaniment to the meal.
My friends had the pancakes and they loved it.

The café also had a great selection of cakes. We tried the passion fruit cheesecake slice, which was lovely — fresh, tangy, and nicely balanced — as well as the Biscoff cake, which was also very enjoyable. Definitely worth saving a bit of room for dessert!

Great options, a little pricey

Pastries, cakes, pies, brunch, smoothies etc for a lovely range of food. I felt the food was a little pricey for what it was but happy to pay given the range of what they had. I had the avo smash - they didn’t have any broccolini but I could sub with scrambled tofu. I also tried the pepper steak pie which was indeed peppery!

Nowhere near as good as it used to be

Updated Feb 26: Note photo is from 2018. We used to absolutely love this cafe but visited in February 2026, to find the business has been sold by the original owner. In many ways it looks the same, but the food is missing something. Possibly cost savings by leaving out exotic ingredients. We got 2 different types of burrito but they were both mostly filled with rice. We didn't even order any dessert since they looked like plain old cakes, just made with vegan margarine, rather than the exciting things they used to sell, that were jam-packed with wholesome ingredients. It's OK if you're in the area due to the lack of other vegan options nearby, but I would no longer make a special trip.

New owners (again)

July 2025
First visit since this eatery has again changed hands and we wanted to show some support as they have remained fully vegan. The menu remains a little unexciting with all the usual suspects and while I quite enjoyed my selection (pancakes) there were certainly a few oddities. My partner ordered the gozleme with dips, off the specials board. It came out served with a tiny bowl of rather solid tahini...odd. I ordered a mocha and out came a latte. The server asked if I was sure it wasn't a mocha...the owner then came out and asked me if I had wanted more cocoa in my mocha...she took it away and returned with a weak mocha but I guess it at least could be called a mocha this time.

There are no prices on any of the cabinet items which always annoys me. Not everyone can afford to order without knowing the cost. Hmmm won't rush back.

March 2024
First visit since the cafe changed hands. We ordered the 'not chicken roll' and the burrito from the cabinet as the chalkboard menu featured all the standard fare: nachos, scrambled tofu, pancakes etc, as well as a hot dog which was sold out. The not chicken roll was quite good and full of chunks of mock chicken which made it quite filling, served with a generous smear of chipotle mayo ( hummus might have been a better choice as the roll was already moist and full of flavour). The burrito was very spicy but less tasty and also came with the mayo smear. The drinks, iced chocolate and Raja chai were very good, although the iced chocolate was more ice than anything else; served in a smallish glass, it didn't last long.

I think it may be a while before we make the journey back. Despite having new owners, the menu doesn't feel fresh or exciting.

October 2019
Good value and refreshing salad bowl, a pretty bad Asian soup which neither of us ate much of, and a very good lumberjack cake. The gingerbread latte and mocha were both enjoyable although could have done with more liquid and less froth. The prices have risen considerably since our last visit.

August 2018
We have visited this cafe twice now; not long after it opened two years ago and for the second time last weekend.

The first visit was a little underwhelming and this time I'd have to say not too much has changed. The drinks were quite good but the sausage roll was pretty bad (crumbly tofu stuffed into pastry). The sandwich we ordered was okay but the flavours didn't mix well; possibly melted cheese wasn't needed.

Yum food and fast service

Great selection of smoothies and specials in this little all-vegan cafe. I went on a weekend and it was super busy but the service was still really quick. I had the satay bowl special which was yum!

Very welcoming staff, the lady that served us was so sweet. Cute vibe, lovely mural and plenty of vegan propaganda around to convince my non vegan friends to make the switch 😍😍

Hit the spot 👌🏽

After years of hearing about Wombat cafe I finally got to dine in here. It was a Tuesday and the vibe was buzzing but there were still plenty of tables.

There was a specials board with 4 items in addition to the standard menu. The food in the cabinet allowed for some menu items to be previewed before being heated which can help with decision making. There was also a hot pie/sausage roll unit next to the counter.

Some of the items are on display in ready to take home option.

I didn’t have to wait to order and the food came out fairly quickly.

I ordered the Not Chicken Roll with mock chicken, slaw, spinach and relish with a very generous side of chipotle mayo.

It was toasted to perfection with crispy outer, full of flavour and a decent amount of mock chicken filling.

For dessert I had the berry crumble slice. The slice tasted a little on the dry side but was still enjoyable.

Pros: 100% plant based, Quick friendly service , Indoor and outdoor seating

Breakfast treat

While on holiday from Perth, I looked up local vegan cafes that were off the highway traveling back to Melbourne from Mornington Peninsula. My expectations for vegan meals is low when I eat out as I'm often disappointed. I don't know what I did right in a past life but I found this gem of a café.

The scrambled tofu is the best I have ever tasted. It smelled and tasted like eggs but without the guilt of any animals being harmed making this dish. Presentation was added to the experience. The pancakes were so yummy. Took me back to my childhood eating my father's pancakes. Those are still the people's champion's of pancakes but this comes a close second. Strawberries and coconut vanilla ice cream are the perfect topping for the stack of pancakes.

The ladies that run this café are so lovely. The service was first rate and I felt at home enjoy this feast and a flat white. I wish that there was a café like this in Perth. They even gave me tips on making scrambled tofu like this at the home.

Pros: Great portion size = Value for money, Delicious meals, Great service

Solitary Sausage Seeks Fry Friend

As tasty as this hotdog was, it did look very lonely on the plate. Could've used a few chips for company.

Pros: 100% vegan

All vegan, all tasty

100% plant based cafe, if heading down the Peninsula for the day drive out the back of Dromana for breakfast or lunch. Meals, smoothies and takeaway sandwiches & snacks (protein balls, ‘snickers’ bars etc). Menu is on a board on the wall as meals and ingredients change with what’s fresh/available. We both enjoyed our meals, the rainbow veggie fritters and poké bowl.

Pros: 100% plant based , Tasty meals, lots of colour on the plates , Friendly staff

Cons: GF options, but not marked, this would be handy

Tasty and fabulous

This cafe is a terrific enclave in the middle of an unassuming shopping centre. The food was original with the scrambled tofu sensational. You can also buy vegan cheeses and other foods. A great place
