The mushroom melody was also delicious, with amazing flavors that exceeded my expectations. The staff were accommodating and moved us to a shaded area as it was hot and we had our dog with us. The level of care and enthusiasm shown by the staff when I praised the menu for its many delicious vegan options was heartwarming. Although we didn't try the coffee, we will definitely be returning soon. Overall, a fantastic experience at a café that goes above and beyond to create great plant-based food.

My initial impressions were not great as the space was smaller and felt a bit dingy. I chose to sit outside, but the environment on a side street of Pascoe Vale Rd was less than ideal. The coffee was not fantastic, with the soy milk not well integrated and a very frothy foam on my flat white. However, my brunch was excellent. I ordered the Californian, which included two crispy golden rosti topped with flavorful tofu scramble, fresh greens, and a creamy green goddess sauce on the side. While I wouldn't return just for the coffee and atmosphere, I would definitely come back for the food. If I could give half stars, I would rate it 3.5 stars. Three stars feels a bit stingy, but four stars is a bit too generous for me.

The portion size was generous and it was packed with fresh sesame seeded falafel, tofu, kale, avocado, and edamame - all of which tasted amazing! The staff was friendly, there was ample seating available, and the menu clearly marked all the vegan options. The coffee was also delicious.
