A Must Go!

Such a cute and welcoming cafe with great vegan options - including pastries! The bagel was fantastic and the scones came warm with jam and vegan cream. A wonderful spot to cosy up with some work or a book for a few hours.

Good options

Would recommend this place as they have a lot of vegan options but food was probably just above average ☺️ outdoor seating was nice!

Super tasty! To-die-for chicken

The chicken and waffles were A M A Z I N G. I've been vegan for 25 years and it was the best veg chicken I've ever eaten. We also went to Rude Boy (who specialise in chicken) for dinner, and the Little Poet chicken was better. The vibes here were super cute, the coffee was lovely, and the desserts were amazing. The only thing we didn't like was the vegan egg (we ordered it on the side) — it was so vile I could barely swallow it. Still, everything else was amazing and I would 100% come again.

Pros: The chicken and waffles. Just wow! , The cute vibes, The yum desserts

Cool vibe, cute mugs

I had a big breakfast and the Taiwanese pancake both of which were nice with the Taiwanese pancake being the star (make sure to ask for vegan and add extras if you want). To echo others, I was keen to try the cakes but seemed expensive for what they were. Overall I really liked it but found the menu a bit confusing, like when something was or wasn't vegan but still a great option in Hobart!

The mugs were also really cute for the chai latte so would recommend that 🥰

There once was a boy from Nantucket

Righto. So the space is kinda nice. Coffee range was good, and they cared about specifying between vegan and egg or milk options.
However, the food is exactly what you could make in 5 minutes given access to Coles veg section and a sandwich press. That's not terrible if you're travelling and miss the comfort of a home cooked toastie or a V2 schnitzel with a bag of 4 leaf lettuce. But the price sure stings given you're probably familiar with all the ingredients.

In the end it was exactly fine, not bad but not excellent. If they had longer opening hours I might bump it to 4 stars for convenience, but for now it'll stay a basic 3.

Oh also the matcha cookie was horrible.

Cons: Matcha Cookie

Wow!

This place is just beautiful. I tried the special - French toast, which I’ve not had since going vegan 13 years ago, and it was next level! The coffee was great too. The decor was lovely and the staff were really nice as well. I’ll be back for sure! #Veganuary

Pros: The food, The place , The staff

Amazing dishes, you can veganize almost anything

The menu might seem confusing, since they highlight vegan alternatives and other descriptions just say "egg" or "cheese". You can order almost anything vegan, and I'd definitely go for the matcha macaroon at any time. The lunch dishes are creative, but this place work best as a breakfast or brunch spot in my opinion. I loved the nuanced flavors, and technique seems crucial here, because I'm pretty sure I tried the same or similar products in Sydney and didn't like them as much as here. If you do order the ham and egg bagel, ask without ketchup/tomato sauce, and it will probably blow your mind.

Pros: Great taste, Good price, Great ambiance, friendly staff

Cons: Menu coulf be clearer

Great food

Lovely little place with unique decor. The service was very friendly and attentive. Food was quite nice, we got the Benedict and the Buddah Bowl with some hot drinks.
The hollandaise sauce was really great! Will be back next time we're visiting.

Pros: Benedict, Buddah Bowl, Atmosphere

Nice Place But Horrible Bun

The Kim chi burger was the worst I have had. The bun was not fresh nor good quality. Even the non chicken filling was too chewy.
Beware the credit card fee.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Nice smoothies , Nice place

Cons: Credit card fees, Stale bun that was poor quality, Plastic straws
