Amazing repeat visit!

Was in the area for dental work and decided to cheer myself up with a treat! Delicious pancakes 🥞 and had the iced chai this time!

Excellent “omelette”

When I visit Sydney I usually come to this cafe. We came twice this time. We had an egg and bacon bagel and this morning we sat in for breakfast. I had the omelette which I really enjoyed. Added some tofu to it as well. My partner enjoyed the pancakes and added ice cream.
The only thing I found disappointing was the coffee. I had a soy flat white take away and it was a bit weak for my tastes. Today I had a long black and it wasn’t the best.
Nice staff and 100% vegan with groceries.

Original review
I ordered a coffee, oj and the egg and bacon bagel. There were some seats outside but also along the bench which was great because I was by myself. The bagel had a great flavour. I really enjoyed it and recommend it. They also had cakes for sale and groceries for sale. I recommend it

Good Breakfast

Breakfast was good. The service was friendly and the food was ready quickly. One of the few completely vegan options we found.

Everything was Solid!

Cute little place with a refrigerated section and small seating area inside. Loved the chikun sandwich and partners vegan lamb wrap was delicious! I tried a piece and loved it. We shared a protein shake (chocolate pb) and it was really nice as well. Was worth the stop and would be keen to go back. Service was quick and chill.

Ok Breakfast

Wanted to love this place. The staff were nice and the menu was extensive. I had the big breakfast. Was a bit bland and underwhelming.

Pros: Staff, Range

Cons: Lack of flavour

Coffee, breakfast/ brunch items - everything was incredible! We walked from downtown (not bad) to get here because of the reviews and was totally worth it.

Yum!

We quickly dropped in before our trip back to Darwin and regretted it immediately. This place made us want to miss our plane and eat pancakes there all day. Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely ambience and items to bring back home!!!

Wanted to like it more

The vibes were great on the inside and service was friendly. We got a carrot cake and the bagel breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon. Since this place advertises itself as a deli, we thought the bacon would be the star but we only got one small piece on our bagel which could only be tasted if eaten separately from the sandwich. The overpowering taste was unfortunately barbecue sauce which didn't seem to fit. The carrot cake was a bit dry and not too memorable either.

So yum

Both green smoothie and bacon and egg bagel were perfect. Quick service too, for somewhere so popular.

Pros: Delicious , Affordable

Cons: Limited seating, may get very busy on weekends

Great little place that is 100% vegan. I ordered two sandwiches. The mushroom is definitely a must try. Would be keen to try the pancakes but would love to see more brekkie options

Pros: Location , Options , Taste

Cons: Expensive

Best lamb wrap I’ve ever had

I came on 2 separate occasions and got Reuben’s vegan brother Steve, as well as the Poke bowl and the lamb wrap (both of which I shared with my friend). All three were delicious, but the lamb wrap was by far my favorite! I also got the brownie, the carrot cake, and the caramel slice, all of which were fantastic. The lamb wrap and caramel slice probably take the cake for me!!

Also, the service here is excellent, and there’s napkins and tap water that you can get as you please.

Eat here for breakfast

I had the big breakfast and it was amazing and so filling. This is located near the central train station and has seating inside and out. The omelette is great and is made with cheese that melts. The coffee is good too!

Pros: The food , The options , The location

Great Place

I went there and it was hard to make a choice, everything on the menu sounds so good.
I took the vegan Bagel with bacon, was really tasty. And also a matcha Latte with Soymilk.
The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was great too.
A place i will return for sure

Pros: Great Bagel with vegan bacon, Nice places to sit, Cozy atmosphere

fine but a bit expensive

I would say this place is just FINE. Ordering is easy, via a QR code, and the options look good, but often come in smaller portions than the pictures on the menu.

You can customise things pretty well but it all comes with a cost, and I think $5 for one cut up sausage on the side is pretty steep. The food here was good but I've eaten in more creative and thoughtful vegan places for the same price, so I'd say it's just fine.

Small but perfectly formed

Lots of homemade items on the menu
Not huge portions but tasty food both sweet & savoury.
Was there mid morning and was very busy with both sit in and take away orders #Veganuary

Pros: Toasties always get a thumbs up from me , Banana bread
