Best vegan cookie!! - Edit
Recently moved into the main part of town opposite Maxi, this place is the best to grab a quick coffee and cookie after shopping or on the way out of town. They have a vegan cookie (soooo good!), a vegan tart (was delicious but a bit too cold) and also a cake and 2 pies that I haven't tried yet! Also the coffee is really good here too!!

get in quick - Edit
We often pass through Castlemaine on the way to visit family in Central Vic, looking for something to eat for lunch. There always seems to be a bit of a line up here but it’s still one of the quickest options for a tasty bite. We stopped in at 1pm on a Wednesday and there was only one vegan pie left. I mean, not just one variety, a single pie. It was the green curry tofu. The filling was tasty and satisfying and the pastry was great - crisp and flaky without making a mess! My husband said it was the best vegan pie he’s ever tasted but I wouldn’t go that far.

Not bad, limited options. - Edit
The green curry pie was quite tasty, the pastry was crispy and flaky. The arrow and pineapple cake was not good because of the ginger. I really don’t like ginger and it was over powering. My partner liked both, especially the pie. (She is a fan of ginger)
Read morePros: Ok pie. , Staff were pleasant.
Cons: Way too much ginger in the cake. , Not enough variety.

Needed more vegan food - Edit
Not bad. Pie okay. Cake okay. Pie has too much steamed tofu not enough flavour for me. Cake has a bit too much crystallized ginger for me. And I love ginger. But it's a great option to have available. They need more vegan food!

Call into Johnny's - Edit
This is a cute little bakery at the back of the hotel. It probably used to be the drive-through bottle shop, now it is touted as the drive-through bakery (although there is not driveway service that we saw).
Read moreVegan options are clearly listed and there are a few, including savoury options. Coffees were really good - we had both almond and soy milk (separately) in ours. The pineapple cake was amazing with hazelnuts, almonds, pineapple, and ginger - moist and delicious the best cake I have had in a long time.
We took pies home to have later and they were really good too, although expensive at $7.50 each. Crispy pastry and interesting filling.
We noted a couple of tables outside and a few dogs visiting with their owners too. I would recommend stopping by, they're really friendly.
