Peaceful cafe

Nestled among lush gardens with serene water features and bamboo, this charming café offers a peaceful escape. From the moment we stepped in, we were embraced by its tranquil ambience. The staff greeted us warmly, and we selected a table surrounded by greenery. Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, making it easy to choose.

We started with the Nachos topped with cashew cream, which were fresh and flavorful. The soy milkshakes were a hit as well. Just remember to request vegan ice cream, as the default option contains dairy. The toastie was delicious, and both the coffee and green juice were equally satisfying.

Overall, it’s a fantastic spot where you can lounge on a day bed, soak in the atmosphere, savor the food, or even explore the nursery.

WOOOOOWIE

I saw a Sign for coffee so stopped in, and I am so glad that I did. This place transported me somewhere different.Very calm and peaceful. I was too busy getting lost in the ambiance to realize the best part which is that day vegan / vegetarian. The second best part is how absolutely beautiful the staff are

Pros: Everything

Cons: Leaving

Atmosphere, Food and Staff are consistently exceptional

Love this place! The food is always delicious - it’s healthy, nourishing and fresh with a few necessary indulgent options too!

The cafe setting is totally worth a trip and the friendly staff just top off one of the coast’s best and must visit veg/vegan spots.

Love this place!

A gorgeous setting among the trees and great home made food. Never had a bad dish yet. Bonus points for brilliant kombucha on tap and vegan cupcakes.

No1 on the EastCoast so far!

We’ve eaten here twice and it’s been the best food I’ve had since I arrived in Australia 6 weeks ago. Between us we’ve had the vegan burger, the Buddha bowl, the mushroom pie and the sausage roll. We’ve also had the carrot cake, the chocolate and caramel cupcakes, the raw brownie and the spiced ginger and apple cake - all vegan! Hands down some of the best vegan cake I’ve ever had. All of the food is fresh and healthy tasting and delicious. Service is amazing and the setting is beautiful...so peaceful. Can’t recommend it enough here.

Edit: Ate here again just after they reopened after the Christmas break and have to say we were disappointed. We both had the Mexican stuffed sweet potato. The chilli was watery and lacked any more than a few ‘cheap’ seeming ingredients. There was the tiniest amount of guacamole on top and the yoghurt sauce just didn’t mesh well with the dish. I also had a vegan hot chocolate which I paid an extra 60cents for marshmallows...was horrified to receive just 2 of the world’s tiniest marshmallows. Total rip off. Overall we were very disappointed as it just didn’t live up to past visits.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Incredible cake, Fresh ingredients

Cons: We ate too much cake as they’re all so amazing!

Relaxed

Beautiful setting for a relaxed meal, even in the rain. Blankets and umbrellas provided on cold and wet days. Tasty food with several vegan and gluten free options. Friendly staff. Laid back / slightly slow service.

Amazing atmosphere and good food

I have had nothing but good experiences here. While the wait times can be a bit longer than would be preferable (especially just for coffee) it's such a lovely place to stay that I'm hardly too fussed about it. An art gallery compliments the natural surroundings, and the overall effect is exceedingly restful. Also supportive of large groups, which is a plus.

Pros: Amazing atmosphere, Good food, Handles large groups well

Cons: Some wait times

yoga cafe in the nature, long wait

This cafe is next to a big road but still in the nature. They have mostly vegetarian food which they make vegan just by leaving out things like feta etc.. I find this ok, but not very inventive. Staff is friendly and the food was very quick, but the drinks took 1 hour. However it is a nice spot and if you bring time I would suggest going there for lunch!

Pros: Beautiful place in the nature, Friendly staff

Cons: Extreme long wait for drinks

a must visit! 5 stars

We visited Bamboo Buddha for my mums birthday with a group of 10 people. We had a gorgeous spot reserved under a hit which was very private and even though it was raining and we were outside it was a great location. The staff are super friendly and attentive and all 10 of us loved our meals from the soup to the wraps and the bruschetta! Everything was filling and delicious! The hot chocolates are a must, I would recommend either the peppermint or Orange on rice milk! This is a must visit and we will be back!
