Had the shepards pie with salad and the scrambled tofu. The meals looked and tasted amazing. Very colourful and fresh. Also very unique tastes – I’ve had several different vegan scrambled tofus before and this one had a light curry taste to it which made it even better! The only downside was the seating was covered with bird poo. I know that this is outdoor seating so of course birds wander in, and I love birds, however when I’m eating it’s slightly off-putting and not really hygienic. I recommend getting chairs that aren’t made of plant material/flax type of material that stuff can get stuck in and be hard to clean.
Had a really pleasant brunch here, it is slightly pricey compared to places nearby but has such a varied tasty looking menu I found it difficult to choose! I went for the eggs/mushrooms/spinach/hummus on sourdough and my bf went for the berry pancakes. Mine was tasty, but could have done with a bit more caramelised onion to give a punch of flavour. The berry pancakes were amazing though – layers of berries in between the pancakes!
Favorite cafe at Vic markets because the coffee is good and the food even more so. It’s a hard decision between their amazing smoothie options but be warned, the green smoothie is filling. I’ve tried nearly everything on the menu I think, all tasty nutritious food. It may be vegetarian but give it a go, you’ll like the variety of flavours.
Waste of money and time. We ordered a cake which took more than half an hour to come and it wasn’t even baked properly. For the rest of the food we had to wait almost an hour and it was definitely not worth the wait (cold, too salty…) even though it was well presented. If you have time and money to waste and are only interested in taking good instagram pictures, this place if for you. If not, find somewhere else!
The service was terrible and the food not so great. We ordered coffees and it was cold but well presented with some coffee art. We also ordered banana bread which took literally 40mins to arrive while it was just standing there in the bar. This banana bread was so dry and not well cooked at all, not edible at all. Also, the waiters were just terribly organised and doing nothing at times. But I guess the worst is that we had to wait 55 for a sauted mushroom which was sour and did not worth the time at all. Will never come back there.
This is a very good caf that offers healthy and delicious food. The portions served are sensible and the food is of good quality.
Coffee and juices are also great.
There are only a couple of things that I think this caf needs changing/improving:
1: Customer service can be quite cold sometimes. Staff should genuinely be happy that people have chosen to spend their money at their business.
2: The food on the menu can be the same texture and you notice this if you eat there regularly. They need to offer different textured food as it can all be too soft, easy to chew and swallow. It would be good to experience some crunch that’s associated with healthy vegetarian/vegan food. The menu needs more veggies that are robust and main star of the meal, not a medley of vegetables combined together to create a soft textured burger or pie filling etc.
3: The beetroot burger is way too salty and feels like you are eating velvet, and not in a pleasant way. Imagine trying to chew and swallow velvet needing a glass of water to help you swallow it down. Only to find it also sits in your chest.
4: Tables need to be cleared regularly as cups and plates can be left out on the tables for a very long time. When customers walk by an outdoor caf that has stuff all over the tables, it can deter people from wanting to dine there.
As a whole, it’s not my most favourite place in the world but my friend recommended it because she is vegan, so she had some options. She had the Scrambled Tofu, which looked amazing. I’m not even a tofu fan and would consider getting this. I just had scrambled eggs, which comes with grilled tomato and mushrooms ($14.50). My coffee was good too.
