Bestes Veganes Frühstück in Australien

Wir waren überrascht von der veganen Karte und haben ein großes Frühstück und pancakes bestellt. Das Ei und der Speck haben wie „echt“ geschmeckt. So habe ich das noch nie erlebt. Würde definitiv wieder kommen! Außerdem gab es einen krassen Milchshake und viele weitere Snacks.

Pros: Komplett Vegane Karte , Frühstück und Mittag, Freundlich

Cons: Teilweise lange Wartezeiten

Incredible Vegan Menu at The Cove Lakes Entrance!

I wasn’t expecting to find such amazing vegan food in Lakes Entrance, but The Cove absolutely delivered! Located right across from Cunninghame Arm Foot Beach and next to the Lakes Entrance Surf Life Saving Club, this beachside café isn’t fully vegan—but their dedicated vegan menu is seriously next level.

I tried the Big Vegan Breakfast, and wow—vegan egg, bacon, hash browns—it had me doing a double take! The vegan waffles with vegan bacon hit the spot perfectly, as did their vegan breakfast burger. But the real showstopper? The Phabio, their insane vegan Freakshake loaded with Biscoff, vegan ice cream, honeycomb, marshmallows, hot jam donuts, and more. Absolutely worth the trip alone!

If you're vegan and in the area, this place is a must-visit! I really appreciate the effort they’ve put into offering such a wide variety of vegan options such as pancakes, waffles, loaded hot dogs, plus the delicious treats waiting in the cabinet inside the café.

You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the vegan options here, and it’s easily one of the best spots for vegan food in Lakes Entrance. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it!

Pros: Large vegan menu, Epic 'Freak'shakes, Customer service

Dedicated vegan menu

Great to see a dedicated vegan menu at this cafe, when this is rare. There are vegan bacon & egg rolls, hot dogs, 3 different burgers, nachos and a range of vegan cakes, cookies, bars and ice cream. There are great seating options overlooking the lake just at the Lakes Entrance main beach entrance, including an upstairs level. I ordered vegan banana bread and was given the option of vegan spread and toasted. The banana bread was delicious and not too sweet. Vegan cookie and bar options are labelled. Looking forward to trying more on the menu and supporting this family owned cafe.

Pros: Vegan menu, Great location, Lots of options
