Lovely spot - Edit
Always very pleased with the service and the food. Has plenty of vegan options and their brownies are super yummy. We have been there twice already and it’s been great. Super friendly staff as well.

Cosy little place, very friendly staff! - Edit
Had both burgers ("beef" and tofu) and some sweets. All tasted great, although the satay sauce on the tofu wasn't as peanutty as I'd like. Still good though! Cheesecake was a bit grainy but still lovely, and had a thick biscuit base which I love.

Loaded omelette is great! - Edit
Nice cafe in an area that doesn’t have a ton of options. Hopefully they will go all vegan soon!! Good brunch spot; 10% surcharge on weekends and a bit pricy but big portions.

Delicious - Edit
Five of us visited and each of us were very happy with the selection. I had the spicy satay burger. It wasn't super spicy (which is fine) and the burger lost structural integrity because the bun was soft (which also was fine... I loved the soft bun... nothing worse than a toasted dry bun!) and it was delicious. I also had the Tumeric Tango smoothie which was probably the best smoothie I've ever had. I loved that they used a reusable metal straw. I also loved the watermelon infused water on tap.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options. Reasonable prices.

Nice local place - Edit
Such a cute local place with great food and friendly staff, some meals are a bit pricey for the portions but that’s pretty standard for cafés anyways. Loved it!

Best cafe in Maroubra - Edit
Been going here for over a year now. There’s heaps of great vegan and vegetarian options. The Açai bowl is the best I’ve had in Sydney so far and the coffee is excellent. It’s a family run business and they are very welcoming and friendly

Lovely! - Edit
We went on a Sunday and they were quite busy but we got our food very quickly and it was great. Breakfast burrito with tofu and vegan cheese is super delicious and the French toast is fantastic! We found the pancakes to be a bit tasteless and average (they are GF and are very thin too) but loved everything else including fresh juices and the super smoothies!

The food is delicious with a bunch of sweet and savory options to choose from. The best vegan French toast I've ever had. Non-vegan friends enjoyed it as well. Beautiful inside and a lovely atmosphere.

Always a good option - Edit
Love coming here when I come for a visit to Sydney.
Read moreThere are plenty of vegan options, healthy options and less healthy options for the days I'm feeling something a bit heavier.
There is a good selection of meals and cold and hot drinks. And their hot drinks are not the usual run of the mill. There are fancy drinks like lavender latte and matcha latte to choose from.
It's small, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Pros: lots of vegan options
Cons: it's not totally vegan

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an in-depth review! Hope to see you back again when you're in Sydney.
