Best vegan sandwich

Cute little cafe that serves an amazing vegan tofu sandwich.

There are limited vegan options but both my friend and I had the sandwich and were very happy.

Delicious avo on toast

Large portion
No granola on the menu anymore although the chef said he would probably add it back to the menu next week

Not bad, limited options

Had the avocado toast. Pretty sure they used a whole avocado haha. So bang for your buck. Could have used a little extra seasoning but they had salt on the table which made it better. The cashew cheese was limited, I think they could use a little more and less avocado?

Not great for me

I came with big expectations based on reviews, but I was let down. I ordered the avocado toast and it was not great at all. Way too much avocado and it was dry as quite tasteless. The coffee was pretty good though. Not many vegan options for breakfast but they can modify dishes. The staff were really nice and the space itself was quite nice.

Simple but yummy food

We got the vegan granola with coconut yogurt. The porridge is also vegan and if you want to substitute feta by any vegan option you have vegan avocado toast!! The soy latte is excellent

Pros: Real vegan options

Cons: The smell of food coming out from the kitchen

My favourite cafe in Melbourne!

Slowpoke is amazing and they cater for vegans. They have homemade almond milk for their amazing coffees. Their avocado toast is probably the best in Melbourne (if not the world!!) and they serve it with vegan cheese and smoked tofu (extra charge). Service is fantastic too. Probably my favourite cafe in all of Australia. I literally go straight here from the airport!!

Pros: Best avocado toast you’ll eat, House made almond milk, Lots of vegan options

Love it.

I come here for breakfast and to work a bit on my laptop (they have good wifi). Their vegan porridge is delicious, sweet, and very filling (I’m not hungry until night). Their almond latte is delish too!

Vegan Tofu Sandwich is to Die For!

Slowpoke espresso is a darling little cafe and is open in the morning before most of the other cafes in the area. The staff absolutely rock and the coffee is top notch. Complete with a fireplace and exceptional vegan/organic menu items. One of my all time favourites!

Pros: Tofu Sandwich, Location, Friendly Staff
