Bustling spot in Lindfield

We chose this café because, unlike most others in the area, it was open later in the day—which suited our schedule. I wouldn’t have picked it otherwise.
The menus are the kind that use a little ‘V’ to mark vegetarian dishes, but with no key or legend anywhere to explain it—you’re left to decode it yourself, like a dietary cryptographer. When I see that, it usually signals that very little thought or care has gone into the plant-based options. It sets the tone: you’re already positioned as a bit of a hindrance before you’ve even ordered.
You have to ask what can be made vegan, of course, and then comes that slightly uncertain moment—a pause, maybe a glance at the menu—just long enough to wonder if you’re about to be told that removing the animal products might somehow destabilise the entire dish. Not all the servers seemed completely confident, but to be fair, most were friendly and willing to make it work.
They offered to adapt the smashed avocado—removing the animal products and adding mushrooms on the side. The dish itself was one solitary piece of toast topped with avocado, peas (a pleasant surprise), and tomatoes. The mushrooms were great—flavourful and well-cooked—but the tomatoes tasted like they’d been sitting in the fridge in dressing for a few days, hoping someone might notice them.
With a pot of tea, the whole thing came to just over $30—which felt ambitious for toast with personality.
As we were paying/leaving, we noticed a clearly labeled vegan caramel slice in the cake cabinet—funny, given the rest of the menu required low-level sleuthing to uncover any plant-based options. A little inconsistent, but hey—at least a dessert had its act together.
Overall, I’d come back here if they added more vegan options, got serious about labelling, and gave their tomatoes a little more TLC. For now, it’s a tentative thumbs-up.
