Delicious food and kind staff - Edit
Judging by the mixed reviews perhaps it depends on what you order. We booked for lunch but it was very quiet. It is a good sized restaurant.
Read moreI ordered the farmhouse favourite as I can’t pass anything up that comes with gravy. It was a “chicken” schnitzel with mashed potato, greens and gravy. It was a good sized meal and I really enjoyed it. The “chicken” was nicely flavoured and cooked. I also had a sparkling hibiscus which was refreshing on a hot day.
My partner had the nachos which he enjoyed.
Service was prompt and friendly and the staff checked to see if there was anything they could do for us and that our meals were ok.
Really tasty. I would have loved a dessert but I was just too full.

Best CFC burger! - Edit
We go strictly for the CFC burger, $20 and so much food. It’s the best vegan crispy chicken burger you will find in Brisbane. Service is always lovely too!

Very average - Edit
I really wanted to support this place and would have loved to have a good local vegan cafe, but the food just isn't very good. A 'junk food' vegan restaurant needs to do junk food really well, because vegan junk food is no longer novel or inaccessible. This place doesn't, and it ends up just being expensive, freezer-mock meats with very unexciting sides (e.g. under-seasoned coleslaw). The food was cold and very bland.

Yum - Edit
Get the spicy cauliflower starter! So yum. I had the eggplant steak gnocchi for a main which was pretty good, maybe a 3.75/5. The creamy sauce was thick but not quite there in terms of taste. I heard the farmhouse favourite was good as well. Apparently the flatbread was a bit plain and supposed to be garlicky but you couldn’t taste it.
Read moreSo sad this place is closing down!
Pros: Fully vegan
Cons: Some dishes can be hit-and-miss

Once upon a time, this was my favourite restaurant - Edit
I used to come here allll the time for every special occasion. The quality is just downhill since the owner changeover, and no longer feels like a nice good quality restaurant.
Read moreMy pics are a comparison of their nachos before and after the changeover; while still charging almost $30… was beans, tomato, and some greasy corn chips and a light drizzle of some kind of sauce. I had also extra cheese sauce on the phone and they said it already came with heaps. I sent them a message about this and they did not reply.
Pros: All vegan, Some nice meals
Cons: Lowered quality with changeover, Expensive

Yavanna? Yeah I do. - Edit
How could I miss a review for Yavanna? This resto is one of the pillars that makes SEQ the Vegan Culinary Capital of Australia and amongst the freshest and tastiest in the world. Everything they do, is the way I like it. Mind readers.
Read moreI enjoyed my meal so much, I would have been more than happy to have a second one the same day or the next, or everyday if practical. Hope this place runs a hundred years.

Excellent - Edit
We live in Bundaberg and needed to be in Brisbane for 5 days, and being Vegan found great reviews on Google and Happy Cow for this vegan restaurant. It surpassed our expectations, so much in fact, that we booked for dinner for a second time. Reasonable prices, for excellent tasting food and great service.

You can’t make mediocre junk food with poor service and charge top dollar.

Underwhelmed and disappointed 🙁 - Edit
I’ve been meaning to try Yavanna for a long time after hearing nothing but raving reviews about it. . . but after visiting today, I won’t be returning.
Read moreFirstly, the staff were amazing and attentive and I definitely couldn’t fault their service. They are the reason I awarded Yavanna the two stars!
The food we had (Spicy Cauli wings and chicken parmigiana) were very underwhelming and disappointing to say the least. The cauli wings didn’t taste like cauliflower at all, instead tasted rubbery, chewy and deep fried. The parmigiana was bland and served on top of soggy undercooked chips, masked with a huge amount of cheese sauce.
Due to Covid and staffing problems I was informed upon arrival that the menu was limited (It definitely was!) and that it would be served on paper plates. Was the chef missing in action today too? Who knows.
My friend and I left without saying anything (Good, bad or otherwise) about our meal but in hind sight I feel I should have mentioned this when leaving as this was a very expensive fast food. I’m sure the amount of food left behind was a dead giveaway.
Pros: Friendly, attentive staff, Clear Covid checkin guidelines
Cons: Pricy , Small menu, Served on paper plates

Delicious all vegan restaurant - Edit
Friendly staff, great food
Read moreI tried the CFC (chicken) burger which was great, it came with chips and gravy which I was very excited about.
The people I was with got the salt and pepper ‘squid’ which were mushrooms and tasted ok, but a little boring tbh, but I appreciate the option.
I also tried the buffalo cauliflower wings which were delicious also 🙌🏼
And then we shared an Oreo donut which was amazing.
Overall a great place to go, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. #Veganuary
