Poor

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

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

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.

Pros: Many salad options

Cons: Not many vegan options

meh

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

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.

The place also has great views out over Lake Taupo and the service was prompt.

Pros: Good portions, Amazing fresh juices

Cons: Stodgy falafel, No replacement for non-vegan ingredients

very nice chai late, small pumpkin salad

The pumpkin salad was like raw? It was a shame. Because it would have tasted nicer actually cooked!
My friend had a veggie stack with the egg on, I wished I'd ordered that without the egg!!

Had the pleasure of eating here on the weekend. The staff were very welcoming and they had Vegan options in the cabinet and menu items that can easily be veganised.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Well priced, Options, not 1 menu item which is fantastic
