A few options - Edit
This place had two kinds of vegan pies and a vegan ‘sausage’ roll available, as well as two deserts, and plenty of plant milks. The vegan cheese in one of the pies was a bit gross but very glad to see options in such a small town 😊

Pastry breakfast options - Edit
Stopped in for coffee and found they have a vegan sausage roll in the display case. Wasn’t listed on menu.
Read moreA bit dry but not bad overall if you’re looking for something to get going. Decent vibe for the place overall.

Cute cafe for breakfast and Lunch - Edit
This is a lovely place for a travel stop or even lunch.
Read moreSadly they charge plant based milk very highly (1.20$).
The vegan options are rare, but well marked.
And they are absolute delicious!!!!
We had the two different vegan pies and a vegan snickers. I highly recommend this place!
Pros: Free Wi-Fi, Cozy place, Friendly staff
Cons: High extra cost for plant based milk

Good considering remote location - Edit
Asked about vegan menu and they seemed confused so I think they no longer have a designated menu unfortunately! Still had a couple of options including vegan sausage roll and pie also some sweet treat options which was a bonus, wait staff were nice!

Lovely and affordable - Edit
Kamal was very helpful and gave me the vegan menu (how amazing right?).
Read moreThe falafel wrap was a tad bland, but they got lots of sauces to add.
Very nice having nice options in such a remote place.
They do also have oat milk, soy and almond :)
And vegan sweets, like ginger slice and mud cake.
Pros: Good selections, Good prices, Nice fresh veggies

Great food, huge servings, great service - Edit
The vegan menu has some good options. The bolognese was super tasty but as it was such a large serving we took a doggie bag. Friendly service. We swapped the hot dog for nuggets which were yummy. We got banana muffins to takeaway

Would give 5 stars if we could! - Edit
This wee cafe in Franz Joseph is fantastic. We've been here a couple of times on separate trips now. The only reason we've not given a 5 star rating is simply because the website doesn't allow that if the place isn't fully vegan/ vegetarian.
Read moreAs at March 2021 they have a number of really good vegan and vegetarian options - vegan pie, big green breakfast (vegan), vegan hotdog (on a stick) with fries, falafel chipotle wrap, etc - see the added menu photo :)
The service from all the staff was great too (especially the guy who said 'No need to get up - this is our place, we'll come to you', and the young Asian woman who was really lovely and very helpful).
If you're in the area this place is absolutely recommended!

Tofu "burger" - Edit
The restaurant was really nice and funky, food was quick and staff were friendly. The meal was a couple of bits of undercooked tofu in a bread bun though, the sauce and veg were nice but the tofu should have been better and more of it... But was only $13.50
Read morePros: A few vegan options , Nice place, cool vibe, Friendly staff
Cons: Limited vegan options, Average quality meal

Limited options - soy latte was good. - Edit
Couldn’t see any vegan options on the menu and no vegan options in the cake/sandwich window. Stopped in for a coffee only instead which was good. Free WiFi available and plenty of seating outside (great for people watching on a nice day) and inside.
Read morePros: Coffee
Cons: No listed vegan menu items

Vegan options exist - Edit
Their menu still has the falafel and tofu options that happy cow described. We just came for an afternoon pick-me-up of coffee and pie. They had good New Zealand coffee with soymilk as an option. They also had a vegan carrot cake and vegetable pie which I confirmed was vegan. The pie had flaky pastry dough and a potato filling. Definitely an option for vegans.
Read morePros: Soymilk for coffee, Quick vegan options
Cons: No dedicated vegan options in main menu
