Needs work

Place was a bit of a hole in the wall with a few outdoor tables.
Food wasn’t very exciting and really lacked a level of creativity and freshness.
Deserts looked promising but didn’t try them

Pros: Location

Cons: Creativity and spark lacking

Great

Friendly staff, delicious food, and a view! Simple, fast food, vegan style. It's a great meal to dine in or take away

Closest I could get to Milky Lane

I’ve been on holiday in ZA for 3-weeks and craving a Milky Lane waffle. This was the only place on our route that had what I was looking for. It was nice to be able to have a menu where I didn’t have to query the ingredients and allergens.

The waffle was fine. The ice cream wasn’t for me. I’ve been spoilt with Swedish Glacé in England.

The poor lady serving seemed to be doing it all by herself. She was clearly struggling, but she did everything with a smile.

I’d recommend to any vegan in the area. Respite amongst a sea of carnivorous South African hospitality.

Pros: Variety, Everything Vegan, Waffles

Cons: Seating - a bit hard for big bums, I’ve-cream - Could be better

Great food and friendly staff

A good selection of burgers, wraps, salads and seitan chick’n. We had the sharing platter for two so had a selection of seitan chick’n, fish and ribs.

The peanut butter bomb smoothie was lovely. Save room for a waffle for dessert!

Pros: The smoothie, Seitan choices, Waffle desserts

Cons: Wear an extra layer on a windy day , Check the address - my phone sent me the wrong way

Junk food fix

If you're ever craving good old fashioned junk food (fish&chips, fried chicken, saucy burgers, milkshakes), pop in to the Vegan Chef. Alternatively, if you feel like a healthy Buddha bowl, pop in to the Vegan Chef.

Pros: All vegan menu, Nice location, Healthy options and junk food

Delicious vegan food

Very affordable vegan comfort food shop in the heart of umhlanga. Must go for vegans and non vegans alike. Also great to see a 100% vegan establishment.

Pros: Whole menu is vegan , Very affordable prices , Delicious milkshakes

Cons: Seating area isn't great , Bit quiet
