Genuinely friendly service and good healthy food!

We visited this cafe for a late lunch today and we were glad we did. The young woman who served us was genuine and helpful, the food was interesting and yummy, and the coffee was good.

There are various options for the amount of food you want from the bain-marie set up. Small plate means you get three choices, medium plate means you get four choices and big plate five choices etc. There are warm curries and other dishes and interesting salads to choose from. I chose the eggplant curry, the chick pea curry, the quinoa salad and the broccolini salad. They were all good.

This cafe also stocks the wonderful Addiction Food brand of brownies and other yummy sweet things, plus a good range of less commonly available soft drinks. The cafe itself was clean and felt like a nice place to be.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good food that left us feeling good, Good location

Great option in Cronulla

Lovely cafe with a variety of indoor spaces (including an internal garden area) and outdoor spaces, friendly staff and a wide selection of food and drink choices. I had a selection of pre-prepared hot food and salad, and later on a chocolate fudge brownie and an ice coffee with vegan icecream. I enjoyed the taste of everything I sampled but I'm taking a star off because the hot food from the baine marie was only lukewarm at best.

Eeek.

Friendly cafe

Comfortable and friendly cafe in the heart of Cronulla. They have a Bain Marie selection or something from the menu. I had the corn fritters which were ok. Food could do with some stronger flavour. Cookies were quite bland.

I think I chose the worst item on the menu

I had the chick pea burger and it was really bland - the strongest flavour was the bread. The chips were average. However, my wife said her burger was amazing and the sweet potato chips were great. I would've given three stars but my wife's feedback adds another star. There are tons of vegan options so I would definitely try it again. The staff were lovely.

Pros: Lots of vegan options. Lovely staff.

Cons: My option was bland.

Heaps of vegan and gluten free options

This place is does have dairy but not eggs but there are a ton of options for everyone.

Eat in or take away and eat at the beach!

Not entirely vegan but all the salad and curry options in the buffet are vegan and meal portions are huge! Great flavor and friendly staff. There aren't a lot of vegan options in the Sutherland Shire, so I'm glad happy cow helped me find this one! It can get really busy though so take away is also an option.

Pros: Lots of vegan options in the buffet , Eat in or take away , Indoor and outdoor seating

Cons: Their made to order menu isnt vegan labeled

Cute cafe

Lots of vegan options, they had prepared salads and sweet treats and bowls, drinks etc were also on the menu. I tried their salads and they were good if a bit on the oily and salty side. All their salads were gluten free

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good value for money

Awesome Vegan Food in the Shire

I found this restaurant by chance while searching for a meal with my family today in Cronulla. There are not many vegetarian places in the Sutherland Shire so I was very happy to find such a gem. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. We will definitely return.

Friendly Staff

Food is delish! Staff is friendly. However! A huge criticism felt by me and all vegans I know that visit there is.....Beverages. Charging extra for all milks except dairy!!! And the milk is the cheap,cruel stuff.
If they insist on using dairy at least they could use dairy from their own farm where their cows and calves are treated lovingly. Otherwise don't offer it.
I mention this because it is called Heart and Soul.

delicious hot meal choices & masala chai tea!

Lovely cafe with plenty of indoor seating and menu options. The large mixed plate allows 5 choices from their Bain Marie and I certainly enjoyed every single curry I tried (all vegan)!! The kofta balls and tofu curry were my faves- basically inhaled it - so tasty. My Vegan masala chai on a rainy day was perfect and my Omni friend loved her meal (halloumi burger sweet potato fries) too.

Pros: lots of menu options, mixed plate choices, masala chai tea!!

Cons: curry could be kept hotter, staff slightly offstandish
