Great range of supermarket products ! - Edit
I was excited to try this place after hearing about it. I had a hard time choosing from the menu..was feeling like something filling and substantial so ended up ordering sundered tomato pasta with a creamy coconut sauce. I was disappointed to discover there was not a creamy coconut sauce but a very oily one like I try to avoid when I eat pasta out. It tasted great though so I ate most of it trying to avoid the oil. Next time I'll go for a burger they looked good. Service a bit vague, forgot my chips. Supermarket experience was what impressed me ! Finally found a huge range of supplies ! Will be returning mostly for that reason.

Awesome store!! - Edit
My partner and I went to The Green Edge Cafe and store a few weeks ago, it is fantastic! I found so many vegan goodies, including marshmallows, cookies and bars. There is a large freezer range, including ice cream, falafel, veggie burgers, tofu ect. They also had lots of different types of flours (chickpea, quinoa ect) and various vegan baking alternatives such as condensed milk which I was very excited about. While we were there we had lunch, I ordered the veggie burger, it was good, a little spicy for me but I can't handle very spicy food, my partner got the nachos, they were good also, we shared a strawberry milkshake which was very delicious with whipped cream on the top. It's great having an all vegan shop like this where I know I can get different bits and pieces for baking and snacks. We will definitely be returning soon.

A Brisbane Vegan's Staple - Edit
I have been coming here for years now. The Green Edge makes the most excellent, satisfying vegan meals. Their menu is full of traditionally non-vegan foods that are so so hard to find elsewhere. Try their pancakes for breakfast, and make sure you get a strawberry milkshake topped with whipped cream alongside it. Lunch? Their satay tofu burger (with hand-cut potato chips) is super satisfying, as are their nachos (which are smothered in guac & Daiya cheese). Their dinner service is lovely too, and desserts are to die for. Try ordering a hot chocolate here, as it will always come with a marshmallow on top.
Read moreThe service is usually speedy, and the owners are especially kind.
I'll forever be a return customer.
Pros: Incredible food, Large portions, Wide variety of menu items

Outstanding! - Edit
A friend took me to The Green Edge for lunch and I enjoyed it so much I returned with my boyfriend the very next day. The first day I had the mushroom burger and while it was good it was my choice of Truffled Button Mushroom Fettuccine on my second visit that really blew me away. Delicious! My boyfriend had the risotto and it was great too.

Good food, great non-dairy milkshakes - Edit
After a not very restful overnight flight, my mother picked me up from the airport and asked me where I wanted to go for lunch. I'd been to the Green Edge Cafe before (albeit a long time before), so had a pretty good idea that the food was good, and it was conveniently accessible from the airport.
Read moreUpon arriving we sat down and ordered our meals. I had the nachos and a maple (soy)milkshake my mother had a risotto and a coffee (soy)milkshake. The milkshakes were both delicious. I had whipped (soy)cream on top and it was incredibly rich and wonderful. The risotto was also delicious, fulfilling all of my (non-vegan) mother's expectations. I have to admit that the nachos were a little disappointing though. There was a bit too much bean mixture, and, being the first time I had ever had daiya cheese, I was a bit disappointed. It was still very edible, but not as good as everything else.
Overall a very good experience. The food was good and the service was quick. The price was more than I'm used to paying (in Japan), but fairly standard for Australia.
Pros: Good food, Great non-dairy milkshakes

One of my favourite places to eat in Brissy - Edit
The Green Edge is definitely one of my favourite places to eat in Brisbane for a casual meal. You can have something quick and easy like a 'cheesy' toasty or something more filling like a risotto or fettuccine and their cook does a perfect job. While you are there you can pick up some yummy cruelty-free groceries.

All Vegan! Must try the Sub - Edit
This place is a treat; serving up good hearty home style food that tastes amazing. The Sub is the best comfort food ever. The shop could do with some sprucing up however. The fist time I visited there was a pile of boxes at the door which is not a good look - it seems as though they were half way through reinnervating? Some plants could seriously live'n this old place up!

Disappointed! - Edit
After reading so many recent positive reviews,we decided to try brunch some 3 weeks ago.Our initial gut reaction was "let's go elsewhere',but we were hungry after travelling up from Byron.The ambience was bland.The service was perfunctory,the coffee weak.After eatig a fry up and scrambied tofu,we both felt queasy and emotionally flat for several hours after.Never again!

Vegan heaven - Edit
Despite being a little out of the way, I couldn't resist hopping on the train to visit an all-vegan grocery store and cafe. My partner ordered the spicy seitan burger, which he deemed first equal with a Vege Rama burger as the best he'd had, and I ordered the meatball sub - really yum, but the cheese was a little "blue" tasting, which was a bit much for me. For dessert, we ordered the brownie sundae - indulgently delicious. Make sure you have time to browse the store - the ice cream cabinet is particularly impressive (or heartbreaking if, like me, you don't have a freezer to bring some home to).
Read morePros: Yummy food, Sooo many vegan ice creams, No label checking!

Lunch 20.3.2014 - Edit
Had a mushroom burger with chips and salad. while it tasted amazing I was just a bit concerned about the amount of oil that dripped onto my plate from the burger. Had a soy decaf latte that was just a bit strong apart from that would have no problems recommending The green Edge for a meal.

Great New Location - Edit
We had read some older reviews saying there was limited seating, so were delighted to find that the cafe has moved and expanded. Lots of room now, a great cafe with excellent variety, and a grocery store where vegans don't have to read the ingredients. Heaven! The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Everything we ordered was great quality and good portions. The mushroom burger was my favourite, really delicious.

Best Vegan Burgers in Brisbane bar none! Go now! - Edit
The Green Edge is a great place - their variety of vegan burgers are the best in Brisbane - no-one can compete if you like a burger! Tried their meatball sub today - WOW! Satay Burger, Mushroom burger - they amaze! We followed them to the new store in Windsor and we are so impressed. They also do cakes, grocery lines, frozen goods, hot pies, juices, and more! Get there and enjoy! They also do breakfast and Coffee and never fail to impress. Love the food, the vibe, the staff, the owners.

Always Amazing! - Edit
We've been to the green edge a couple of times now for breakfast and lunch and were always amazed by the quality of the food. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the place has a friendly vibe. We went here with my parents who are non-vegans and usually a bit suspicious when it comes to vegan food - they were very happy and absolutely satisfied with the portions. I recommend the peanutbutter milkshake and mushroom stack!

Great vegan cafe and grocery store - Edit
Since moving to their new location the cafe has expanded in size and has a number of tables, so it is now a great place for a family lunch or breakfast. The menu changes seasonally so I'm not sure what they have currently. But when I was there last winter my faves were the toasted sandwiches and the pancake stack with white and brown chocolate layers, ice cream and maple syrup. The peanut butter milkshake was out of this world. They often experiment with new dishes and can occasionally be a bit hit and miss, but I suggest you persevere and find out what dishes you like for return visits. You can also conveniently pick up a big range of vegan groceries and cruelty free toiletries and cleaning products while you are there. I always aim to fit in several visits whenever I am in Brisbane.

The best vegan place in brissie! - Edit
I cannot even begin to explain how awesome The Green Edge is! There are very few places in Brisbane that I would take non-vegan/vego friends and family, but the green edge is absolutely perfect, all their food tastes awesome and the staff are just great.
Read moreMy partner and I go here atleast once a fortnight. The breaksfasts are super tasty, the big breakfast is absolutely huge, and so delicious. The burgers are rad, and anyone who hasn't yet had the peanut butter milkshake is missing out.
The owner is super friendly and they're always willing to change food around, or make us weird combinations. I cannot give these guys enough praise. Can't wait till they start doing dinners aswell.
They have a huge grocery range, and yes alot of it is expensive, but they're luxury items and you're supporting a locally run family business, not some supermarket chain.
I'm really happy to see this place getting busier and busier!
Pros: Super Yummy Food!, Great Friendly Staff, Wide selection of Vegan groceries
Cons: None!

Wait 'til they're organised - Edit
This used to be a cute little, friendly shop in a location you couldn't miss, but they have moved. Today we went to visit for the first time since the move; it is in an awkward spot behind some other daggy shops - there is NO signage, the shop was a newsagency before and it still has all the old fittings around the counter - in short, it is a mess. The floor was revolting - old, dirty looking lino, their cafe isn't up and running yet and it just had a yuck atmosphere. They have loads and loads of Vegan stuff if you want all that pre-prepared food, and it is expensive. I hope they get their act together soon, because it was really off-putting. We'll wait for a few months before going back, if we ever do.
Read moreSo, we went back, and the shop appeared to be more organised, however, they had run out of the food we wanted, they made us the most revolting juice I have ever tasted - in their favour they didn't charge us, but told us that they only had some beetroot left and they couldn't make us another one. The food was little more than ordinary, took an age to come out, and we really won't be back this time. You can only give places so many chances before they lose their customers for good.

Great food and great groceries - Edit
I go here at least once a fortnight (usually more often).
Read moreGreat range of groceries (dry, frozen, fresh veg, cheese and meat analogues, small range of bulk bins, toiletries, cleaning items, shoes...) Reasonable prices, convenient to public transport, parking on site.
Also has a cafe doing breakfast, lunch, cake and coffee.
Highly recommend the mushroom risotto, pumpkin soup and the chocolate cheesecake.
They do milkshakes and coffee with choice of 5 non-dairy milks, some food can be made gluten or soy free.
Everything is tasty and staff are friendly.
They do regular sausage sizzles for special occasions - even Dagwood Dogs for Ekka!
Only downside is that at lunchtime you might have to queue for a while to pay (or buy your groceries) as there is only one register.
Pros: Almond milk ice cream!, excellent cafe, reasonable prices

Great range of vegan products at reasonable prices. Mango smoothie is a massive hit with my daughter as is the chocolate cheesecake. Fresh organic fruit and veg is as cheap, if not cheaper than, the local organic market. Staff always very chatty and helpful. I love having a dedicated vegan store that also has a cafe.

Great place for Vegans! - Edit
I recently became vegan and was finding it a bit overwhelming having to constantly check the food in the supermarkets to make sure I could eat it. I googled vegan places around Brisbane and the Green Edge came up. Wasn't sure what to expect when I first went there... but I'm so glad I did. It's amazing!! Everything in the store is vegan. It's awesome to know I can pick up anything and it'll be vegan. I've tried so many different things from the store and loved everything! I almost squealed when I saw they had vegetarian pies (which are delicious!). They have everything you could want! It may seem overpriced but to me it's worth it. Especially when I need something like whipped cream for baking (which you can't get in places like Coles/Woolies). The service has always been great. A guy that I assume is the manager or owner (I see him there a lot) once gave me a free loaf of bread when I asked him if they had a different brand (which they were out of stock). He gave me the bread to try out which was super nice. They also do coffees/food/milkshakes and more. I haven't tried any of that stuff so I can't comment but it always looks good. Can't recommend this place enough!

Super Yummy Vegan Burgers - Edit
Great little vegan store with loads of nice vegan grocery items. The menu is short and the kitchen is small, but hooley dooley, do they make an awesome burger. They really only have one table for dining at, so we shared with a couple of friendly folk who knew about the great vegie burgers. Don't expect fast food, this good food takes some time, but well worth the wait (check out the stuff that they sell in their store). Oh, and their burgers are large, delicious but not overly filling.
