Closed But Not Forgotten - Edit
I often think about the delicious meals I had at Power Plant. Tofu scramble, breakfast burrito and the ultimate chickpea burger (which hadn’t been around for some time). Couldn’t go past the thick cut chips and dessert cabinet. Good vibes and good quality food always.

Our Favourite Cafe - Edit
We’ve been going to Power Plant regularly since it opened, and it is my family’s favourite cafe. All vegan which is fabulous and lots of GF options. Food is really good, tables are well set apart, decor is relaxing and the staff are really friendly. They always have a specials board too with interesting options that aren’t normally on the menu. And at least one of us orders the chips every time which are pretty much the best anywhere.

Good cafe food - Edit
Nice venue with good variety of dishes on the menu. Had the breakfast burrito, which was served warm and tasted great. Only wish the put black salt on their scrambled tofu to give it that eggy taste.

Fantastic brekky/lunch option - Edit
Awesome spot. Staff are exceptional and the food did not disappoint. Went for lunch with my girlfriend today, we both had fantastic coffees and awesome lunches. All the food was spot on, huge vegan selection of breakfast/lunch options and plenty of dine in/take away options as well. The dessert was to die for as well.
Read moreSpecial shout out to the staff who were so lovely about me dropping my entire coffee all over the table. They gave me a new one for free and were excellent about the entire situation.
Awesome lunch date, will be back time and time again.
Pros: Fully vegan, Large selection, something for everyone, Staff were exceptional in every aspect

Amazing food - Edit
Have been here a few times and the food has been amazing every time. I’ve always brought my dog and sat in the outdoor dog friendly area. Also love that they offer lots of gluten/garlic/onion free options which lots of places still don’t do.

Love this place! - Edit
This is such a great cafe, love that it's all vegan (apart from the cows milk drink option, unfortunately). In a good spot (not much else vegan around here!) and close to Bulleen Art and Garden. I've been a few times and the menu has been different, especially loving the menu at the moment (forgot to take pics!). The drinks are great too, love their iced chai and milkshakes!! The outside seating is nice and people bring their dogs which is lovely.

Always a pleasure to dine here - Edit
I have honestly never had a bad meal here. The thick cut chips are to die for! They occasionally host special events, such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day high tea, which are well planned and really special. The area is very spacious and gets a lovely touch of afternoon sun.

Best tofu scramble I’ve ever had! - Edit
The cafe is fully vegan now and also has vegan and eco friendly products for sale. I got the pesto tofu scramble and my sister got the banana bread, both were amazing! I have gotten a lot of tofu scrambles, and can honestly say this is the best one I’ve had. There were also a lot of delicious looking cakes and things in the cabinet as well, I will definitely be back!

picnic stop - Edit
I stopped in to pick up something to takeaway on my way to
Read moreWarrandyte for a walk. It’s a bit difficult to judge Power Plant’s menu at the moment, as their offering is limited due to COVID-19, which is completely understandable. I got a green goddess salad which was light but satisfying with salad greens, edamame, broccoli, zoodles, lentils, pepitas, salty fried capers, and a creamy, zesty dill dressing. In the cabinet, they had a pulled jackfruit sandwich, pie, pastie, and another salad. I picked up some Cleo’s peanut butter cups from a selection of pre-packaged sweets. They also had a pretty wide variety of house made deserts, including packets of Yo-Yos that were tempting. I saw “gingerbread latte” on their specials board and had to try that too. Pretty similar to a dirty chai with soy, nice and creamy with a caffeine hit. Overall, nothing extraordinary. I can’t quite understand all the rave reviews. Probably more exciting if you have a sweet tooth. I’ll definitely go again while I’m exploring that part of the Yarra though.

Lovely! - Edit
The decor and ambience was lovely. Service was excellent. French toast was the highlight. So yummy and very filling. My daughter also loved her mashed avocado on toast. Coffees were ok but a tad on the lukewarm side and my wife’s latte was super milky (i.e. needed more coffee 😁)
