Poor - Edit
Vegan options very limited, if vegan and gluten free, the only option is a budda bowl. Hygiene in terms of avoiding cross contami action is non existant. One set of salad tongs serving 6 different salads with no regard for vegan or gf contamination. Not recommended.

Not much choice - Edit
Menu wasn't clearly marked. Vegan options were just a Buddha bowl or oatmeal. Staff were too busy for me to check with. Ended up leaving and finding lunch elsewhere.

Not great options - Edit
I went here thinking it would have better vegan options given the review on this app. Nothing on the a la carte menu was labelled as vegan (even though they had a V label to denote this). There were a few “vegan possible” options but they were pretty poor in terms of substitutions. Cabinet had a few salads but weren’t labelled from what I could see. We ended up leaving and not eating here so can’t comment on the food. Coffee club next door had way more options already labelled vegan including tofu etc so would recommend them instead for vegans.

meh - Edit
Had the vege stack made vegan. Was nice but not very filling and was very over priced for what I was served. They had a vegan wrap on the cabinet which didn’t appeal to me and a porridge. These were the only vegan options.

Decent vegan breakfast - Edit
There is a great range of fresh juices (I recommend the green one, it has lots of zingy ginger). There are not any real vegan options on the menu but a couple of the items are marked 'VP', meaning that they can make it vegan. I ordered the vege stack and got the eggs removed to make it vegan. It was a good breakfast but I am slightly annoyed that they did not replace the eggs with anything. The falafel pattie was a little bit stodgy but the rest of the dish elements made up for that.

very nice chai late, small pumpkin salad - Edit
The pumpkin salad was like raw? It was a shame. Because it would have tasted nicer actually cooked!
