I had the vegan burrito on the recommendation of the only other person, a review writing hierit was good value for money, a really big portion! and it was delicious they had a total of 4 vegan options, all looked pretty good. could go back to try one of the other a little time. only the question was that they had only a size of coffee when they eat that was very small (i.e. a small cup size instead of a cup.)

This cafe is tucked away at the quieter end of Brunswick west and not easily accessible by public transport. It's easy to dismiss this cafe from outside looking...
