Awesome plant based options in a fun and friendly atmosphere - Edit
Loads of vegan options and lots of ‘opt in’ vegan options, really great coffee and awesome service. Pretty good value for money and we both walked out feeling fully satiated. Highly recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch

Dunedin's best. - Edit
Amazing selection of vegan food. We had the vegan fish and chips and cauliflower burger and an ice coffee and all of it was bomb. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Vast amount of vegan options - Edit
You can always find something vegan in the cabinet or on the menue. I feel like the taste of their vegan dishes was better when I was there regularly 10 years ago but it's still pretty decent!

Good - Edit
Nice food, nothing super exciting. The vegan snickers is worth a try though. I felt like the meals were a bit small but maybe that’s because the place next door had such massive servings.

Classic spot - Edit
Modaks has offered great vegan options for a long time, and still has lots of options available. The coffee and food here is always good, though they don’t have as many sweet options as they used to.

Spoilt for choice with vegan options! - Edit
A funky wee cafe with a huge amount of vegan options - both savoury and sweet. An impressive sweet cabinet which majority of the food is vegan! Also has a savoury cabinet and a menu. An extensive amount of vegan options, quite reasonably priced and delicious food too. A great place to go for an informal breakfast/brunch/lunch. Was blown away by the range of vegan options - not your typical one-hit wonder vegan option on the menu.

my fave - Edit
I went to modaks for brekkie a few times on my trip to dunedin, it was definitely my favourite out of the range of cafes I tried. Cool vibe, great service and really amazing food and coffee. I had the hash attack and the similar bagel equivalent on my next visit ( can't remember what it was called) I also had a cinnamon scroll which was amazing. Highly recommended.

Friendly, vegan-friendly place - Edit
Stopped there twice, on my short trip to Dunedin, and liked a lot the place (brick walls, silk-screen posters, cool furniture straight out of the 70s, good music...). The people were very friendly, and the breakfast I had was really good. Took the savory toast + avocado, etc, and made it healthier the second time by subbing baked beans for the hash browns.
Read moreIn the cabinet, they had what seemed to be really good vegan options too!
Recommended!

Tasty Vegan Breakfast - Edit
We had a vegan menu breakfast here. A tasty start to the day and at $13 it was great value. The cabinet food here is varied and also looks great. The vegan desserts are divine! A 'must' visit if you're in Dunedin. Not open for dinner but the chef gave us a few tips for places to dine that are - cool cafe...cool staff!

Worth a second trip! - Edit
My first visit was just for a coffee (good) but after waiting in line as it was pretty busy I treated myself to the apricot-coconut protein bar, sugar free, gluten free, vegan, and it was amazing!
Read moreOn my second visit I arrived later so after the lunch time rush and had a sandwich (stuffed full of tasty things on a lovely ciabatta type bun) and the line and coconut cupcake (good icing but the cake was a bit dry and tasteless). All pretty reasonably priced and big portions!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly service
Cons: Closes early, Can be very busy
