Amazing Vegan Menu

Super diverse options for any time of day. Healthy options on the menu as well as sweet and savoury treats. The corn chowder is a personal favourite. Light and airy restaurant with friendly staff and great ambience.

Must visit

Every time I come to Hobart, this is on the visit list! I highly recommend the kimchi corn fritters or the hotcakes if you want something sweet.

Pros: Corn fritters! , Good service, Nice atmosphere

Great the hours have changed

Updated the hours as shown as jot open on Sundays, so that was lucky cause there not allot of options on a Sunday morning.

Very good coffee as long black, only do Regular size as largest serve, not cheap but that seems to be a Tasmanian norm.

Scrambled Stunner very good, polenta crunchy on outside and soft in middle, tofu scramble was best we’ve ever had.

Okonomiyaki Corn Fritters very good, presentation was excellent, I think maybe I would like the cashew cheese on the side instead of smeared on top of the top fritter but personal choice.

Nourishing plate was also very good, we added avocado, black rise was clumped a bit like sticky rice which I really like so the whole bowl was really good.

Sourdough English Muffins were ok, no photo as the youngun had an egg with it. However the tempeh was pretty thick and not such an authentic bacon type sub, he wasn’t impressed but he isn’t impressed about being plant based in general.😒Not something we would order next time.

Orange chai with oat milk was good, coffee excellent, soy latte good and banana power puff very good.

Nice atmosphere, lovely staff, tucked off the main drag, right next to multi story car parking.

Pros: Nearly everything can be vegan, Mostly Gluten Free, Central location

Cons: It’s not local to me in Sydney

Pretty good

Definitely an interesting menu and pretty good taste overall, but some stuff needed more flavor, whereas I'd definitely tone down the turmeric on the scrambled tofu. Some portions seem a bit small for the price, life the English muffin, but the tempeh definitely surprised me for the better, very smoky and reminded me of grilled mushroom.

Updated from previous review on 2024-01-05

Pros: Great iced matcha, Love the blueberry cheesecake, Pretty good vegan brekky

Cons: Not crazy about the okonomyaiki, Needs more flavor sometimes

Worth seeking out!

This is a bit hidden, but we’ll worth finding! The food is great.

The drinks are too, ever since trying it, I find myself regularly craving their banana smoothie. And the brewed chai is yum.

Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, with plenty more options to try on return visits (good vegan range).

Pros: Food is delicious, Awesome drinks, Lovely service

Cons: A little dark down the back

Yummy Saturday breakfast

I had breakfast here as soon as they opened and the staff were so lovely. The waffle dish was very yum and hit the spot!
I went back the next day and my second meal was just as delicious. This place is a precious gem 💚

Great place to meet friends

This cafe has changed ownership since opening - still vegetarian with high vegan menu options, the menu now has a modern Asian influence, the menu is not as interesting or extensive as when it opened and not updated much, and servings are not as generous as previous owners. It’s still a good place to eat but no longer has alot on the menu that I love so much I want to eat there weekly as it did before. Coffees etc are great quality (but some drink options are now overpriced). Still a great place to go on occasion with a group or meet a friend ❤️

Love this place

When I want to have a good morning brekky, I tend to hit this place up as a first choice. Hobart businesses seem tricky with their operating hours, being that if you work near, you'll manage to visit, buy after basic daytime hours - missed out!
Council parking inspectors are angry chihuahuas and eager to fine for lack of parking options - luckily there is a parking centre next door.
The coffee is good, they interact with local producers and bakers, and create interesting dishes.
I've always loved coming here, and leave happy each and every visit.
Worth visiting!! A great little gem to explore and always super friendly and helpful.

Little bit of bliss.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. It’s in the Lotus centre, next to Padmalight, a great little hippy shop and below the Open Heart Meditation room. They’ve been very accomodating to my special requests.

Update April 2021: They’ve updated their menu to be mostly vegan by default, with vegetarian options.

Updated from previous review on 2021-04-17

Pros: Great atmosphere & friendly staff., Mix of Eastern and Western diet options., Mostly vegan menu with veg options.

Cons: Drinks are cows milk by default, +80c for vegans!

I'm high on Chai!

The orange chai will make you want to grow an orange tree for breakfast!!! My girlfriend has the regular chai - big mistake she tried to consume mine and I had to politely refuse
