The menu features numerous appealing vegan options, making it a place worth visiting multiple times. Although we arrived around noon, they graciously allowed me to order from the breakfast menu. I chose the harmony plate, which included hash browns, mushrooms, avocado on toast, beetroot hummus, a tomato salad, and a lemon wedge. My wife opted for a vegan crispy chicken burger topped with all the fixings, along with a soy chai latte. We also shared two vegan cupcakes—one chocolate mud and the other lychee—and indulged in a small bottle of the amazing Bilpin Apple Juice, which is simply the best. All the food was delicious, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely proud of their vegan offerings. They were very welcoming when we mentioned our dietary preferences and even had the chefs confirm that our meals were prepared vegan-friendly. We will definitely return on our next visit to the Mountains!

We also got the fish and chips which we both loved the fish was perfection. Also tried the bacon and egg roll (egg is real) Both partner and I thought the bacon was awesome!

Plant based fish was perfectly battered, with soft and jucy fish fillets. Great coffee and service too! Updated from previous review on 2022-11-19
