Served non-vegan food

We ordered a sharing anti pasti plate that was labelled 'VG' (vegan) on the menu, as opposed to 'VGO' (vegan option). We also stressed that we were vegan to the waiter. When it came it had cheese on it. The chef told the waiter that it was on there by mistake. We asked for a plate to push the cheese on to and continued to eat the rest. I had eaten a slice of toast with butter on it before my husband realised it was dairy butter. They then replaced the whole dish for a fully vegan one that was nice. I wonder if there is a lack of grasp of what is vegan in the kitchen and the importance of getting it right.

Pros: Some vegan options labelled vegan on the menu , Interesting surroundings, a bit different

Cons: Served non-vegan food

Wonderful place and food

We found this wonderful cafe after the place we had chosen to go to was closed. What a brilliant surprise it was. Gorgeous place and the vegan breakfast was outstanding!! Great coffee too. Would have given 5 stars but that’s not available on this app for places that aren’t strictly vegetarian/vegan

Pros: Food was amazing, Atmosphere was great, Staff were lovely

Delicious Vegan options

Stopped for takeaway as we were on a road trip. Very quick and obliging with menu changes. Excellent coffee and delicious food.
Wished we could have sat and appreciated longer the ambience they have created in their space. Well done, loved it!

Pros: Coffee, Jackfruit burger made into wrap, Fries

Super cool decor!

Honestly would go here just to experience the gothic atmosphere and decor - very very cool and unique.

I ordered an acai bowl which was tasty - but very very small, especially for the price, so do keep that in mind.

The staff were lovely.

Pros: Cool decor and atmosphere, Lovely staff, Beautifully presented food

Cons: Price

Good coffee and a few breakfast/lunch options

There were a few good looking breakfast options for a light meal and something more substantial. Really handy as it opens at 6:30 and we arrived in Coffs Harbour very early!

Vegan breakfast and lunch!

Plenty of options for breakfast and lunch! The menu is well labelled as to what is fully vegan and what can be made to be vegan. Nice cafe and opens pretty early too!

Do not recommend

Nope nope nope. I’ve given this place a chance 4 times now and every-time it’s been disappointing. Barely any vegan options and if they are they are bland and expensive. I won’t be going back here. The coffee and vibe is nice but don’t bother with food.

Trendy Vibe

This place is straight out of Melbourne’s laneways or perhaps Camden. Fantastic staff. Best vegan burger I’ve had. Not trying to be fake meat just delicious. Went back for breakfast!

Looks cool but that's it

Waited an hour for my avo on toast that consisted of two tiny pieces of barely toasted sourdough a smear of avocado and a few day old slice of lemon for it still to be brought out with feta that I asked for without. Very expensive for what you get. I wouldn't recommend but looks like it would make a cool bar at night.

Pros: Has a few vegan options

Cons: The staff didn't know much about the menu

Food average. Coffee good. Atmosphere great!

Vegan burger (pulled jackfruit) was good except the bun was a bit hard (either stale or overtoasted). Vegan plate was also good but the fritters and falafels a bit burned.

Pros: A few vegan options , Great atmosphere

Cons: Average food
