Friendly staff reasonable food - Edit
Early-ish opening cafe with friendly staff. Limited vegan options but staff were knowledgeable. Tofu cost extra for the meal I had but overall it was reasonable.

A few vegan options now - Edit
There are now a few vegan options on the menu as well as some vegan drinks. I had a vegan smoothie (made with coconut milk) which I thought was delicious. The cafe was very crowded when I visited in the early afternoon on a weekday.
Read morePros: Delicious smoothie , Friendly service , Smoothie was ready very quickly
Cons: Could still have more vegan and vegetarian options

One vegan thing on menu - Edit
There’s only one vegan thing (a big breakfast) labelled on the menu now and a couple of things in the cabinet. I had the quinoa tart, which was nice but pretty pricy at $14. I’d like to see more and better options here

Vegan options not on menu - Edit
Vegan big breakfast is the only vegan option listed on the menu. Serving staff weren’t aware of what the other vegan dishes were. Kitchen staff had to be called out to discuss what could be veganized. None of the cabinet food marked as vegan.
Read moreFood was average. Some serving staff unmasked.
Pros: Good central location
Cons: Menu poorly label for dietary requirements

Lovely breakfast - Edit
Chilled cafe inside the library. Does a mean vegan breakfast and has a good selection in the chiller cabinet. Quite expensive but for the location I guess it’s reasonable.

Lovely breakfast - Edit
The blueberry hotcakes (for non-kiwis, these are thick American style pancakes) were delicious and came with vegan icecream.
Read moreThe cabinet choices on the day we visited were limited but we purchased a vegan ‘bounty’ slice and vegan chocolate cake. Both were huge portions and well worth the money.
Cons: Limited vegan options
