Can’t believe I haven’t stopped in here before!
Have been inside before when Husik was here as a pop up at night, but not during the day until now .
It right on the tramline near Wayville on Goodwood Road, and it looked like a local hangout as I stepped through the door . It’s a little squishy but somehow they make the atmosphere work - and the hanging plants make it seem light and airy .
They take their coffee seriously here and the brew has its own separate menu . I ordered a seasonal pourover from Columbia and it had a lovely watermelon aroma - it was clean and very easily drinkable .
I also ordered the Calabaza Tostada , and opted for a gluten free salad . There are nine options which you can either have on panini , sourdough , a gluten free bagel or salad , or a loaded croissant - a little like choosing bread at Subway but so much better . And the fillings were well thought out and so delicious. There are loads of plant based options here .
My salad was divine and the flavours married so well together- and the sweet soy aioli was on another level . I was told they make the sauces in house , so they are a clever creative bunch !
Also had the good fortune coming in on their birthday and got a small almond latte for $2 , to which I couldn’t resist adding a gluten free lemon raspberry cookie - it was a chewy type and had a wonderful citrus flavour. Their sweet treats comes for a place in Lobethal called Clara’s cakes - and they are all vegan and beautifully made.
Defiantly a go to spot if you’re in the area .

Delicious food and better service. Beetroot latte, hot chocolate, overnight oats and the potato panini. The cinnamon Knott yummy, and we couldn’t leave without taking home the croissants.

I agree with another post about the surcharge should be more prominent.
We got the feed me menu upon recommendation from the staff, and although plentiful for us, I wouldn’t get it again.
4 entree’s, 1 main & 1 dessert for 2 people is what we got! 2 of the entree’s were what I call ‘filler foods’ potatoes & a plate of greens.
We were told it would be 3 entrees and 2 mains, that would have been better & as they had advised us!
So, it would’ve been better (& cheaper) had we of ordered what we wanted without the ‘feed me’ option!
Also, if your serving 2 people, it would be nice to have an even amount of food (looking at you dumplings)
I did contact back to ask what are you supposed to get in the ‘feed me’ menu & they confirmed 3 entree’s & 2 mains & 1 dessert to share, so feeling a bit jipped if I’m honest.
Wouldn’t come back for dinner in a hurry because of this, especially as we felt like we did not get value for money.
But, I would give them another chance at lunch time.
2.5 ⭐️ from me this time.

Disclaimer alert: I am not a vegan.
Good:
Easy parking
The waiting staff were friendly and nice.
Bad:
Website and Google reviews mislead you to think this is a major, popular vegan restaurant. On Saturday we walked in after 6:30pm there were only 2 customers. Very tiny restaurant. Table for less than 20 people inside and tables placed side by side, so close you could smell next person's breath.
There is no phone number to book. Just an online booking system which forces you to pay $25 per head so if you cancel after 24 hours your money is gone.
If you book for 6 or more, their online system forces you to book their $66 per head banquet.
There is a weekend 10% surcharge, which you only know about from a tiny fine print hidden amongst other fine print at bottom of menu.
The laksa (sold as lemongrass coconut curry) is totally tasteless without any lemongrass or spiced fragrance typical of laksa.
The golden dumplings, main course $30 plus 10% surcharge, was small entree sized. Just half a dozen less than bite sized pieces of gnocchi like spongy, soggy tasteless mess.
The Vietnamese Banh Xeo (sold as Turmeric crepe) was not at all crispy but was passable.
The mushroom chilli noodle was too salty, and without any wok smokiness nor umami complex flavour of seasonings of Oriental stirfried rice noodles.
The sang choy bao (sold as Tofu larb) was okay.
The mushroom ceviche entrée was possibly the ONLY dish that was a touch special and better than bad home cooking.
I was charged just under $15 for bringing a birthday cake even though I had called ahead and was told it was perfectly fine, go ahead. This was refunded after I protested.
Summary:
I may not be a vegetarian but there are 2 vegetarians in our group and like me, neither of them was impressed with the food.
