Absolutely delish vegan big breakfast, I highly recommend it. Coffee was also pretty good. Dogs are welcome at the outside tables and even got a big pat from the the wait staff.

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Meat, Dogs only welcome outside , Limited outside seating

Nice enough

Nice cafe tucked into a laneway. Staff are super friendly and were able to fit us in without a booking (we went on Mother’s Day without realising so there were a few tables reserved). There’s a seperate vegan menu but you need to ask for it (honestly, why wouldn’t you just put it in with the ‘normal’ menu?). Got the ‘vegan delight’ which is basically a vegan big brekky, it was ok but nothing to rave about. Coffee was also ok but nothing to rave about. Fine spot for food but don’t expect to be wowed.

Handy location

Cute cafe with a separate vegan menu. The food was good but it took 30mins after ordering the food for it to arrive. And about 20mins to order coffee, had to get staff attention to order both times. The upstairs part of the cafe is a separate room with no windows, very hard to get staff attention to order and it wasn't especially busy. I wouldn't go there again because of the wait time on food.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Great spot straight off the ferry

Cons: Long wait times for food to arrive

Filling meal after the ferry

Was nice to get a decent meal after the ferry, was super satisfying though still good. Ask for the vegan menu.

Satisfied

I had the ‘vegan delight’ with an extra serve of hash browns. I am satisfied. It was enjoyable and filling. I am happy to see that they have a vegan menu (seperate ask staff).

breakie straight off the spirit

Laneway is open and will be pumping with arrivals just off the spirit. For vegans, it's great to know there is something available 6-7am in the morning. Separate vegan menu

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Friendly staff, Open early

Great

Delicious breakfast, a few vegan options to choose from on the main menu but you can also ask to see the vegan menu to see how these meals are made vegan with adjustments. Great little cafe and our waitress was so friendly.

Over priced

They dont have a separate vegan menu, the food was bland. The staff got in such a mess over me being vegan as 90% of staff had no idea what vegans could eat so i waited for their 1 appointed staff member to exsplain what they can do vegan. She was lovely but i had to wait 15 minutes just to find out what could be done vegan. The food taste like when non vegan cooks and puts no effort in. Very bland food. I had the breakfast. Inside where you pay is a HUGE death fridge full of body parts. If your triggered by the meat section in the supermarket then maybe give this place a miss.

Pros: Nice coffee, dog friendly

Cons: Tasteless, over priced for what you get. , A whole dead animal in the fridge at the counter, Chopped up! Be warned

Nice place

No longer has a separate vegan menu but most meals can be veganised according to our server. We both had a vegan version of their big vegetarian breakfast and it was delicious. Generally a nice vibe and atmosphere, coffee is pretty dark roast italian style (if that’s something you care about) but otherwise good.

Great lunch or Breakfast spot

I thoroughly enjoyed my big breakfast, although was a touch salty. My partner got the burger which looked great. I would definitely go back here. Good coffee too.

Pros: Cool venue, tasty food

Cons: They no longer have their vegan menu😒

Unexpected Devonport chic

Cute little cafe with a separate vegan menu (you need to ask for it). I had falafels on beetroot hummus and my partner had a black bean burger - both really tasty and well presented. Quick service.

Pros: Separate vegan menu , Nice ambience

Truly, phenomenally good

What a way to start our trip around Tasmania! We stopped in here fresh off the boat for an early breakfast and I couldn’t believe my tastebuds. This must be the famous Tasmanian produce I’ve always heard so much about. We had the ‘vegan delight’ with explosively delicious cherry tomatoes, sensational miso mushrooms and beans, toast, avo smash and hashbrowns. Even the spinach tasted good. Don’t think I’ve ever had a vegan breakfast where the hash brown was actually the least exciting element and can’t remember the last time I had a vegan brekkie this flavoursome – and we live in Melbourne! They also had an an avo smash, North African spiced beans, and a few lunch options, including a burger. They use Bonsoy and the coffee was strong. Hopefully we can stop back in before we get back on the boat!

Pros: Separate (small) vegan menu, Incredible-tasting produce, Cool vibe

Cons: You have to ask for the vegan menu, Serves non-vegan , Has a deer head on the wall

Lots of tasty choices

A dedicated vegan menu was unexpected but a huge bonus here, lots of choices to be had. The loco beans and felafel salad were both delicious

Pros: Separate vegan menu

Nice

Off the Spirit early on a cold morning looking for a hearty breakfast and found this place. Early opening and a separate vegan menu was a bonus. A good vibe with quite friendly staff. Worth stopping for breakfast.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Nice vibe

Yum!

Super tasty, huge portions and a quirky restaurant setting. Awesome that they are open when the early morning Spirit of Tasmania ferry gets in as there aren’t too many vegan options on the ferry.

Cons: You have to ask for the vegan menu

Charge more for Vegan options..

Food actually is pretty good but was saddened to see that the vegan menu was more$ than the none. It's rare you see this but I know it happens. Order $7 toast with three sides and they not only charged me more than the menu listed for avocado but it also wasn't the avocado/chickpea mash. So paid more for less..

Fortunately they were nice about seeing we were overcharged. Looks like maybe prices were updated on the register but not on the menu. $20 for avocado toast with baked beans and hash browns.. yikes.

Brilliant breakfast

This place was already doing a good trade when we arrived at 7:05am, straight off the overnight boat. Following the advise of previous reviewers we asked for the vegan menu, which was readily produced.

We had the Vegetarian delight (vegan version) and the North African beans - both of which were really tasty, well sized and got us ready fir a day of adventuring round the apple isle.

Pros: Big, tasty breakfast, Separate vegan menu, Perfect-sized portions
