Delicious little hideaway in the busy city

This adorable little nook down one of Melbourne's lovely alleyways features an entirely vegan jaffle menu with options including jackfruit, beyond burger, baked beans and even sweet options including melted kresho and vegetables bars! I tried everything on the menu and kept going back for more, the guys who run this place are wonderful and the food is even better! If you can snag one of the lamingtons definitely do it because it's worth it!

Pros: Fully vegan, amazing yet simple food

Loved it

Incredible place! We had the best soy milk coffee of our lives their today! And the jaffles are out of this world - we had the mexi bean and the mushroom and mozzerella (the mozzerella was so creamy, it was amazing!). Very reasonable prices - $5 for a large coffee and around $9 per jaffle. Plus very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Great feed, reasonable price

I had the Beyond Burger toasted sandwich. $12, seriously tasty. Of note that it was the most expensive one there, because it contained the beyond burger. Most others around the $8 price point.

My partner had the vego chocolate toasted sandwich which was nice as well. Highly recommend dropping by.

Pros: Diverse options for toasted sandwiches , Friendly service , Reasonably priced

Cons: Small seating area (but expected- it is a kiosk)

It’s alright.

I went for the vegan beef and it was okay. Came out piping hot. This was also their spicy offering on the menu. It’s a decent quick stop. I would like to try another option on the menu next time

Pros: All vegan , Polite staff

A tiny little kiosk down the lane. Jaffles are good and authentic. Some good options for fillings. Enjoyed and will go again.

Delicious!

So so tasty! The cheese they use is really nice and melty. The staff are always super nice. I really like the bbq "chicken" and pineapppe one! They change their menu every once in a while too so there's usually something new.

Pros: Delicious, All vegan

Cons: A bit expensive

100% YES

What a place. This is the type of vegan cafe you go out of your way to visit when in Melbourne. Walking tours that go down this alley stop for ages whilst everyone takes a picture of one of the smallest cafes to probably exist! I've visited many a time and tried every standard jaffle as well as a few specials. My faves are the bbq veg ch*ckn, the mushroom and the chipotle and shepherd pie specials they do. Staff are always friendly, and happy to take phone orders if you have a short lunch break in the city. Their hot chocolate with coconut milk is next level too - remember to take your own cup and takeaway container if not eating in!

Pros: All vegan, Unique Experience, All fresh, So Delicious, Great prices

Cons: If I had to come up with one..., Would be nice to offer 10c off if BYO container, 5 seats, not for those wanting a leisurely meal

Jaffles are the best!

Had the Beyond burger jaffle, which tasted exactly like a Big Mac but way better. Wish I lived here to try them all. Awesome place!

Bloody love this place!

Little hole in the wall in one of the iconic alleyways in Melbourne, this place does smashing toasties with always changing specials. Seating is limited, not that that’s a deal breaker as the food is totally worth it and the staff are always ready with a smile. 10/10 would recommend. I go here every visit to Melbs.

Love love love

This fantastic little hole-in-the-wall is such good value. The coffee and sweets and jaffles are on-point! My favourites are the lamington and the Beyond Meat Jaffle. Also, the staff are so lovely and welcoming! If you hang around the kiosk for 10 mins, you will see that they have a loyal following and a little community around them. Recommend!

Pros: Central Location, All Vegan and delicious, The little bit of salt they sprinkle on the jaffle

Cons: I, love, them

cheesy and cheerful

Always a lovely experience. The staff here are super friendly. A little out of my way for a quick lunch and they’re often busy so with one person on the jaffle iron, you could wait up to 20 minutes for your toasty - I have. But I’ve always found it worth the walk and the wait. The “chicken” options are jackfruit which is a win for me but maybe not for everyone. The baked potato and cheese hits the spot on a cold day while the bbq jackfruit with pineapple is always a favourite of mine. Tried the homemade baked beans and cheese one morning and it was a the perfect breakfast. They had a “chicken tikka masala” special for a while which was delicious - masala jackfruit, cheese, and coconut raita, from memory. I love the chocolate peanut butter sandwich cookie too - tastes like a bigger, better, vegan Kingston. Only thing I haven’t really enjoyed is their coffee - a bit mild and sweet for me.

Quality Jaffels

If you're in the Melbourne CBD an absolute must, for breakfast, brunch and lunch! The beyond jaffel is life-changing!

Pros: Awesome options, everything is an absolute winner!

Cons: Slightly long wait time as it is very small. , But worth it!
