Yes yes yes - Edit
Feels so great to walk into a bakery and have OPTIONS. They had apple & cinnamon scrolls the size of my head and the cherry danish was divine. Samosa pie was unreal. Smoked tofu pie a bit flavourless but was hard to live up to the samosa. Yum oat meal cappuccino. Very nice and quiet the time we were there. Accomodating staff. Disappointing to see disposable plates/forks still. Would definitely go again when I’m in the area!

bread stop - Edit
Just a quick update to say: try the cardamom bun! Again, it’s a bit expensive at $7.90 but I’d pay it again and again. It’s big and delicious!
Read moreI grew up not far from Daylesford and used to come here as a newly-vegetarian teenager. That was 20 years ago! Surprised to see they now serve meat. But the bakery still smells the same - that spicy smell of hippieish vegetarian food. Natural Tucker in Carlton North smells similar. I used to love the pies but the vegan flavours aren’t that appealing so I didn’t try one this time. I took two cherry danishes home because they were $7.90 each or 2 for $10. I wouldn’t pay more than $5 because they’re pretty small and essentially just frozen puff pastry squares filled with sweet black cherries from a jar. Still, a nice sweet treat. Their bread is delicious, though! I would absolutely recommend picking up a loaf if you’re in the area. I’d try a warm dish for lunch another time as well.

Wonderful Experience - Edit
This place is so great. Since Covid I’ve had hit and miss customer service experiences but this place was very hospitable and didn’t make my partner who is mask exempt uncomfortable or ask any questions about it. This and having wonderful coffee and vegan options made my trip to Daylesford, honestly. On prior occasions I’ve had their house soup and it is absolutely delicious. Recommend always, so grateful for their hospitality in and continuing hospitality in difficult times.

Cheap and cheerful - Edit
Tasty pies and good coffee. Would have been nice to have a few more substantial vegan options (like a tidy scramble or similar). Unfortunately everything was served in disposable packaging even though we were eating in.

A saviour for vegans in Daylesford - Edit
I'm so glad I found this place, I was starting to lose hope! I saw the sign for healthy and organic and prayed for vegan options...and they delivered! There was a separate oven containing veg and vegan hot pastries (which may have also been gluten free) and they were warm and tasty on the rainy day we visited.
Read moreI would highly recommend the smoked tofu pie which has other veggies like sweet potato, peas and corn and the potato and spinach pie was beautiful. There was also a pumpkin and coconut cream soup available.
They had a few vegan sweet options too, and we got the Cinnamon scroll which was massive!
Would definitely come here again to get a savoury pastry on my walk through the town.
Pros: Clearly labelled vegan pastries and sweets, Friendly Staff, Couches to sit on
Cons: Small venue (but cosy)

Little bakery with loads of vegan options! - Edit
Nice surprise to walk in here and find three types of vegan pie and I think there were four cakes listed as vegan as well as a few other options on the menu!
Read moreI had the smoked tofu pie, which was tasty, but the pastry was kind of cakey. I didn't mind it, but it wasn't like a normal pie.
The cakes were YUMMMO. I had the cherry danish and the chocolate cake, both were good and the coffee was great too! :D
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Quick and easy, Affordable

A few good vegan options - Edit
This bakery has quite a few vegan options compared to everything else in town, but not everything is worth having. The cherry danishes are delicious and a must try, and their milkshakes were good too, but I was pretty disappointed by the smoked tofu pie (rather unappealing-looking and bland filling) and even more so by the chocolate cake, which was flavourless and dry as a bone. Tasted like it had been made last month. My partner had better luck and had the spinach pie and the curry pasty which he said was pretty good, so maybe go for those instead.

Great little bakery! - Edit
I had a cherry Danish. Actually, I had 2; they were $7, or two for $10 so.. And they were choc full of cherries!
Read moreThe Danishes were great, and the bakery staff were friendly and they had a good selection of vegan items, all clearly labelled. Recommended.
Also it's excellent to see cafes like this open during the lockdown.

Quiet but nice - Edit
Had a lunch here with my non-vegan family. Quite a few vegan options- i had the smokey tofu pie, which was pretty good. My mum got the vegan gnocchi which was served with housemade bread which was delicious. They also had some nice vegan smoothies. Would come back again for the gnocchi and to try the gorgeous array of vegan pastries.

Vegan pastries - sweet and savoury - Edit
We tried the vegan sausage roll and the smoked tofu and veggie pie, both with salad. They were served with an amazing chutney on the side as well as a tasty dressing on the side. The salad was generous and sprinkled with sunflower and sesame seeds. Both the pastries were good but I would give the smoked tofu the edge. My husband also bought an apple and cinnamon scroll for the road which was fruity and not overly sweet. I would definitely eat here again when visiting the area.

Blandness Served with Bile - Edit
Since the vegetarian owners of this cafe departed, it has transformed into a bland bitter shadow of its former self. I won't bother going into detail with the numerous ways they stuffed up our meals and provided rude discourteous service; needless to say, won't returning in a hurry.

Legendary - Edit
This place has been around for a long time, once had a fire and rebuilt. While the food is fresh, and the vegan pies are exceptional, I feel it lost a bit of it's soul after the fire. The old place I recall was small and cozy, with a few random tables, and freindly personal service. While the service is OK, it's not the same. The prices are now quite quite steep and I might have paid more in the days when vegan goods were rare. Still worth visiting for the breads, and range of vegetarian foods, as anyone whose vegetarian knows, it's a legendary bakery. They do breakfasts too. But there are many other options around now, so there is no longer the feeling of being held to randsom to get a bit of vegan cake!

some nice vegan options - Edit
Definitely stop by if you're in daylesford. A nice selection of vegan goods and gluten/dairy/egg free options. Vegan options include mushroom & tofu scramble, bruschetta, Rosti, pies/pastries, sandwiches, veg burger and risotto. A range of vegan cakes too. Fair trade coffee and soy shakes. The food is quite nice but there are more vegetarian items with cheese etc and some meat. The menu hasn’t changed in a few years now, it would be great to see some different vegan items created. Gluten free bread contains egg. Must try the vegan shake, made from fresh fruit or chocolate/coffee
