Vegans stay away - Edit
I’d seen Olive at Loch listed on HappyCow, so was expecting I’d at least get a choice for my takeaway lunch. But they only had one item in the whole place that was vegan - they didn’t even have any vegan slices or cakes (though nearly every cafe has them nowadays).
Read moreI would have walked out but I was running late, the place was crowded and I’d been standing in a queue, so I got their one vegan offering - what they called a ‘Turkish Pizza’. It turned out to be some big bland lumps of pumpkin on a big slab of bread - I was tempted to bin it but it turned out to be edible mainly because of the caramelised onion on top.
I googled ‘Turkish pizza’ later, and what I got for lunch bears no resemblance to anything that showed up in my search. I did question it when it was first handed to me, asking if they’d got the order wrong, but was told, “no, this is a Turkish pizza.”
Cons: Only one vegan option , Expensive , Uninteresting food

This is a real shame you had this experience. They used to have 3 or 4 options in the cabinet as well as a vegan toastie. Obviously not ideal but it's been the only cafe this side of Leongatha with any vegan options since The Long Wall closed down.

The Loch Village Foodstore & Cafe (just across the road from Olive at Loch) actually offers MUCH better vegan options!
