Very good avo toast

Dad and Dave’s has a few vegan options. Definitely a good choice for the area. The mushrooms were super flavourful with lots of herbs and they were not stingy on the avocado. Would definitely visit again.

Tasty brunch

They have about 4 vegan options at the moment. I opted for the banana bread with fruit. The serving was generous and tasty. I also had a green smoothie and soy flat white. The space outside was lovely and everything was clearly identified as being vegan or a vegan option. The service was friendly.

Great vegan options

I have dined at Dad and Daves multiple times and have always been very happy with my meals. My favourite dishes are the vegan hotcakes/pancakes and the vegan banana bread. Both come with delicious vegan ice-cream, fresh fruit and nuts. They are both very filling and I'm so happy to be able to order vegan sweet breakfast options. Their vegan hot chocolate is also very tasty. They have seating inside and out and the staff have always been very friendly.

Some good vegan options at a nice cafe

I've been to this cafe several times now. There are several vegan options on the menu and in the cabinet, the food is good (especially the corn fritters, the burger and the toastie, oh and the muffins are DELISH!) plus the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Pros: Good vegan options, Friendly and helpful staff, Nice setting

Reliable, tasty vegan options

The pancakes are amazing, with fresh berries, figs and vegan ice cream. It's standard vegan on the menu, and all vegan items or options are marked. I usually have the corn fritters, served with avo as I am less of a sweet tooth. These are a decent size and very tasty. Alternatively I might have the smashed avo which is high in coriander content, with hummus, chilli and duka. The vegan bagel is another option, which is usually made fresh to order.
Sweet wise, besides the hot chocolate, there is always banana bread and usually other baked goods such as muffins.
Coffee is great and they do almond milk as well as bonsoy.
Staff are friendly and totally on board with catering to our vegan needs.
There is outside seating if you want to bring your furry friends, human and non - human.

Pros: Always some appealing options

Cons: Be sure to ask for vegan as they also do non-vegan

decent vegan options

Quite a few vegan options or items that can be made vegan. Good, healthy, vegan options for kids too!
Service is always friendly but quality of food can vary greatly. Most visits, the food is spectacular, however, on a few visits, the food has been sloppy and serves stingey. Coffee is average - opt for a smoothie instead, they are delicious.

Pros: atmosphere , vegan options aplenty

Cons: quality varies

Nice little cafe

This is a lovely little somewhat hipster cafe, and not what I expected from the name. I had a bagel with a corn fritter on it and enjoyed it, though even with the quinoa and pumpkin side salad it was a fairly small meal (which was fine, as we went to Goje (just up the street) afterwards).

Pros: Pleasant seating enviornment

Cons: Small portions

vegan brunch

This place is fantastic. As a local of 20 years I went here after seeing it on happy cow. I wasn't disappointed. The vegan stack consisting of pumpkin eggplant avocado and zuk on sourdough toast was fantastic, we shared this with avocado smash, putting Aveda in Seddon to shame. Coffee with vegan chocolate topping and finished off with hot chocolate drink also vegan. Sat outside with my 2 dogs, read the complementary paper and watched the foot traffic to the yarraville station and bus terminal. Would I go back... [censored] yeah! Ps brought some vegan banana bread for later, what a treat and I've walked pass this place for years, who would have known? Melb vegans check out Dad and Daves. Submac

Pros: local, private indoor and outdoor seating not cram, vegan choices clearly marked on menu, yarraville village a GREAT PLACE

Cons: missed out for years by not knowing it had vegan c
