Great selection, very tasty - Edit
Not fully vegan but their vegan selection is so wide, a lot of vegan and gluten free too. So far as a friendship group we have collectively tried the granola bowl, raw ginger slice, carrot cake, falafel wrap, soup and fritters and all have been 10/10

I keep coming back - Edit
Been coming here for coffee and food for many Queenstown trips. Now, as a vegan there are multiple tasty options to choose from. Be prepared to sit outside or wait for a table at busy times

Good food in organised chaos - Edit
Had the pancakes and the miso hash, both were very tasty - they also have daily vegan specials in the cabinet.
Read moreThe place is small & busy but well run, usually a small wait for a table, they turnover pretty quickly & they'll bring drinks to spot where you wait.

Hidden but Busy Yum Spot - Edit
Went twice! Took me a few pass bys to find the place but it was busy inside. Seems to be the same restaurant as Bespoke but I liked Vudu much better. Same bakery items. Similar food but slightly different menu. Good

Great Breakfast Cafe - Edit
Loved this cafe, the atmosphere at the water, the staff and the perfekt, fluffy, delicious and excellent presented vegan pancakes.
Read moreThey also put a lot more vegan options on the menu, so you can choose and don’t have to go with the only vegan dish at the menu.
I can highly recommend to try some of their self made juice’s or smoothies. Pretty delicious and healthy.
It’s still a bit pricey, but it’s what you have to pay to eat at the frontlake-area.
Pros: Great menu, lots of vegan options, Delicious food, Very friendly staff
Cons: Bit pricey , Order at the counter

Good vegan options - Edit
I had their pancakes and it was well presented. Taste wise it's okay, i wouldn't say I was blown away, but it's something to still try and enjoy in the morning

Just OK - most vegan options are health food - Edit
Typical low effort vegan cafe food - bliss balls, raw slice etc. We had the chocolate tart which I had high hopes for but it was really average, tasted overwhelmingly of coconut oil. Shame there weren't some proper baking options.
Read morePros: Some vegan options
Cons: All of them are boring health food

Great food, great location - Edit
After a quick google search this popped up. The good reviews were spot on. Great menu options and outdoor seating by the water make it a perfect lunch spot. Bean burrito and the mushroom arancini were great. A good selection of fresh juices topped off a perfect lunch.

A good breakfast option - Edit
Had pancakes for breakfast and were fabulous! The only thing I didn't like about them was the maple syrup, which only felt like melted sugar. The cafe has lots of vegan options on menu and on the counter. Would go again to try the chia pudding.
Read moreBefore going there, be prepared to wait a little bit longer than usual to get the food because it's busy during mornings.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff
Cons: Pricey

Lovely location and tasty food - Edit
This cafe is in an awesome location, right on the waterfront, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately there aren't many vegan options and I found the tofu scramble a bit too salty. However, overall it was a great experience.

Fabulous! - Edit
We called in here for a late lunch and we were impressed! To have so many Vegan options is wonderful. I had the Toscana Beans.. a large meal and very flavoursome:) my husband also Vegan had the Smashed Agria! It was also very flavoursome with zing! So many greens in both dishes… well worth the $42 spent. The service was excellent with a staff member who is also Vegan chatting with us! We will return!
Read morePros: Flavoursome food!
Cons: None!

The vegan breakfast bagel is delicious!!! Vegan egg, avocado, alfalfa sprouts and chutney. The egg seemed to be chickpea based. Delicious start to the day. The oat coffee was perfect too!

Breakfast with the cool kids - Edit
Lovely place and very busy, but was lucky to get a table for myself. I wanted a warm hearty breakfast so ordered the vegan garlic mushrooms on sourdough. It was toast with hummus and mushrooms/avo/red onion on top. Very tasty, but a shame the hummus and avo turned it into a cold breakfast. Lots of vegan counter food I'll try next time.
Read morePros: Busy and welcoming, Friendly staff, Lots of vegan options at the counter
Cons: Expensive for what I ended up with, Breakfast was luke warm due to cold ingredients.

An unmitigated disaster - Edit
My partner and I stopped in for lunch. Most of the tables were taken, but there was a queue forming near the counter at the back. We line up for a few minutes and decide to get some food and coffee takeaway instead of trying to get a table in what’s already looking like a war zone.
Read moreSoon, one of the front-of-house staff starts walking along the queue and asks if anyone is getting takeaway, so she pulls us out and takes us to the register so she can take our order. Sweet!
We ask for a menu so we can get some food to go. She looks at us with confusion and says we can pick out something from the counter if we want. This would be the counter we’ve now bypassed because she pulled us out of the queue.
We turn around to try and figure out what wet want. There’s a queue of people impatiently waiting, and we can’t see through them funny enough. So, what… we now need to line up again so we can see what’s in the counter display as we queue up and walk past it?
Ugh… forget about it. What a disaster. Some cafés run like a Swiss watch. This place runs like a $5 plastic piece of crap from Fisher-Price that’s been backed over by an SUV.
Cons: Poorly run, Zero FOH organisation
