No longer a cafe 🥲 - Edit
FYI this place is no longer a cafe (guttered as the food looks amazing from previous reviews!) just a plant based/organic product store. New address at 54 Victoria street for the shop.

Scrumptious - Edit
We had the most delicious lunch from Providence yesterday. We were too late to eat in but bought a few dishes to take away and ate them in the park. Being vegan and gluten free is sometimes a challenge to find somewhere to eat out where healthy food is served but Providence had choices galore. And their passion fruit vegan cheese cake is to dìe for. We will be back for more for sure.

Vegan haven in dairy county - Edit
I’m so impressed by this store, in what seems like miles and miles of dairy farms this place is incredible. I would say this is the best vegan place in NZ. Beats every single place in Auckland and everything looks so delicious and the cafe is so neat, clean and staff is wonderful.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! - Edit
I met Sam late last year and was keen to get to her cafe and store. I was more than impressed as she not only feeds everyone well but at a very reasonable price. Everything was wholesome and delicious and for a whole foods devotee like me, I had more options than I've had anywhere else. 10/10 xx

Made an effort but.... - Edit
...didn't make it! Travelling through Dargaville we were keen to get one of their ice creams and a few supplies for our road trip around Northland. They had closed early at 1.30 on a Sunday afternoon & I see that they don't even open Saturday's!

Hidden gem on the Kauri coast - Edit
We spotted this little (coffee free) café by chance on our way back to Auckland and had a great impromptu second breakfast with vegan ice cream and cake. Lovely (volunteer) staff and good treats. The connected store also had a nice selection of vegan product. Not what we expected to find in dargaville!😄

Calm, yummy oasis - Edit
Amazing, fresh plant-based food. Really unexpected pleasant surprise in Dargaville. Highly recommend. Vegan & low use of refined sugar. Simply incredible
Read moreSome of the staff are volunteers, so as to reduce overhead costs & make the food affordable to a wider audience. This aspect makes the cafe extra special. E.g.a pie costs about $4.
Pros: Lots of vegans options & affordable , Bulk shop , Plenty of seating
Cons: Not one in every town!
