Delicious food!

So many vegan options and not enough time to eat them all. You can’t go wrong with what your order. Good sized servings and super fresh food.

Good food

Had the club sandwich and the burrito bowl. A bit pricey but good. The snickers and lemon cake wasn't the best and the tumeric chai was disappointing. On the menu they say fresh tumeric but on the bottom of the cup was yellow powder.

Plant based deliciousness

We stopped here on our way through Cairns and were very happily surprised. We had the pad Thai and the falafel bowl and were both impressed by our meals, fresh ingredients, colourful and tasty. Best of all they have their own kombuchas which were yummy! Highly recommend.

Pros: Friendly staff , Fresh ingredients

Spoiled food & nasty attitude

Nice looking place and good looking options. Ordered 4 meals for table, curry flavourless so tasted the falafel wrap which tasted good. Went digging for hummus which I thought tasted spoiled which my daughter confirmed. We told staff who was incredulous and the chef/owner came over asking and I repeated. He kinda rolled his eyes saying it’s their most popular dish which may very well be because otherwise quite good but refused to accept it was spoiled. No apologies only bad bad attitude. When my daughter went up for a refund he again asked her if it was really spoiled with a cocky attitude as if I was lying. I think he saw me starting this review he started trying conversation. Asking if we’re vegan, how long in town and do we know there are no vegan restaurants in town in a threatening tone I asked him to stop talking to me. He followed us out and watched us leave. As we were walking down the footpath he stood at the door and glared at us.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Snobby , Rude, Flavorless/spoiled food

Great finding in Cairns

I was passing by Cairns with my non vegan partner and we got lucky to find this amazing plant-base place. We tried the wraps and although it seemed small, they were super rich and enough for lunch! Super recommended!! So good!!

Great place!

I found this place on google but I guess because it’s labeled vegetarian and not vegan it didn’t show up for me when I searched vegan in cairns. Anyways, the food was delicious! I’m not usually a kombucha fan but I enjoyed trying a few of theirs. Loved the dessert they offered!

Go hungry and try everything

I had a big day out and I was starving, when I arrived, I was greeted with cold filtered water and was offered to try different kombuchas to find the one I like best. The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. Make sure you go with a big appetite so you can try everything. The cacao coconut cake is to die for!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Can be a little bit pricey, but treat yourself!

I arrived one hour before close and they wouldn’t let me order food. Desserts and drinks only. Tasty dessert at least.

Cons: stops serving food much earlier than closing time

Delish

I decided to order the earth burger and have the finger & lemon kombucha with it. Kombucha was so refreshing and the burger was so delicious.

Beautiful and cozy

This place is a lifesaver!
We came here on 25th of December when everything was closed in the town. The restaurant seemed closed also, but there were some people inside. Staff told us that they had a prebooked Christmas lunch. Anyway the waiter let us inside. There was special menu with two options: raw and cooked. It was so delicious and looked stunning!
Next day we came again and it was as good as before.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated and they have different kinds of kombucha on tap.

Pros: friendly and attentive staff, fresh and healthy food, kombucha

Lafew tea house

My husband tried this lovely teahouse which was very cosy and comfortable. staff were very friendly and knowledable. They have freshly made Kombucha and you are able to sample before buying (we bought Lime and Ginger plus Dragon Fruit simply delicious). A wide range on the menu of food and drinks. My Lafew salad was simply delicious and soya lattes devine. Taking our daughter there for my birthday next Tuesday

Pros: Plenty of Vegan options

Cons: In expensive and good portions of food.

totally cool

Funky casual spot with a nearly all vegan menu. They serve eggs on a few dishes. No dairy from what I could see. They make a variety of their own raw kambuchas and they are THE BOMB! Cool music, cool vibe.

Hidden gem in city centre

Gorgeously cute and cozy cafe located opposite Rusty's market.
Although not entirely vegan the choice is great. From soups, wraps, dips, salads, cakes to the most delicious club sandwich you will ever taste !!
Staff friendly and you can sample test the different tastes of Kombucha. Dragonfruit is delish.

Pros: lots of vegan options food is delish. servings goo

Cons: Not open for dinner

love the Club and Kombucha!

This place is great. The partner and I always come here before we do the market. Almost every week. I've had the zoodles, which is tasty but I prefer the club which is different but addicting. I always add chili peppers to mine to give it a kick. Love the service. Great for indoor or outdoor eating. Right near Rustys a great spot. Must try the coconut cake!!! I could eat that everyday. Closed on Monday's so my go to spot on the weekend.

Little Gem

Found this little gem in Cairns, omg the food is the bomb, it was that good we've eaten here 4 days straight, today I had the Cabala juice, vegan Club Sandwich, finished with a raw choc peppermint slice and a long black, wifey had a Kombucha, garden salad with home made hommus & cashew cheese, finished with cacao strawberry mouse tart and a cardamom coffee. Didn't want to leave, the place has a therapeutic atmosphere. The owners are lovely people, service was excellent every time we dined, I recomend it to every vegan, vegetarian or healthy diner.

Pros: Raw Food Options, Vegan Options, Vegetarian Options
