What User doesn't like about East St. Cafe And:
there was only one conversation between the guy behind the grill and two people before me who were obviously his friends. all exposed and discuss the protest against the mandat they had clearly supported and visited. not all vegans support this ursache (I) so I decided to leave.

I was in Nelson only for night and now I'm really sad not to be able to return to East St! I loved everything: the vibe, the decor, the friendly staff, the amazing choice. And the food was out of this world! I had the Friends' salad and it was fabulous, so fresh and full of flavour and love (bits of smokey vegan cheese, nuts, beautiful dressing.. My friend had the tempura veg which I tried, and they were bomb. Fab! View all feedback.
