Whatever I was told in the email was wrong. The mushrooms crepes, my first choice, could not be made vegan. At least, they didn't think so. The waffle and avocado toast were OK. I ordered the Earth Waffle, they didn't have it. I ordered the avocado toast, but got them to sub in mushrooms (apparently vegan) for the spicy cauliflower that it came with. It was pretty, it was fine, it was pricey for single piece of toast.
I wanted to order some of their in house lychee iced tea, but they didn't have that. I ordered a matcha green smoothie. I can't remember what vegetables and fruits were in it, but it was something weird in it that attracted me to it. Plus, matcha! Different from the green smoothie on their current menu. It was meant to have coconut yoghurt in it, but I got them to leave that out.
And finally, the baked goods. They have a cabinet of baked goods. And some of them were vegan... and also gluten free. I got the Red Velvet Cupcake (which was so dense and dry), and the Beetroot Brownie (which was tasty but so soft and almost goopy that it never should have made it to the shelf for sale).
Needless to say, it is not a place I would rush back to. While it wasn't bad, there are many more exciting places around that I don't have to go out of my way for. But if an omni friend ever picked it as a place for a meet up, you will be fed!

In my last post, you met Mozart. This is his sister Mariah. She is a lovely tortie girl, and just as noisy and frisky as her brother.

Ugh nothing bothers me more than workers not knowing what is vegan and isn't. I understand where the confusion comes from (and I think there is largely a fear of giving the wrong thing to a person) but owners need to take more time going over what is in the food with servers. Ignoring vegans, if someone has an allergy it gets confusing and dangerous. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThat said, that sloppy brownie sounds amazing. lol I would gobble that up.
At the end of the day, we just have to trust what they tell us about vegan food in non-vegan places. And it certainly doesn't breed confidence when there is confusion.
DeleteThe sloppy brownie was probably the best tasting thing I had! Tasted great, looked not good.
Wow, that is disappointing. I hate paying too much for underwhelming food. I can see why you wouldn't hurry back.
ReplyDeleteYes. I am used to paying too much for great food. ;) Brisbane is expensive for eating out. But if the food is good, it's worth it. But it makes the disappointments hit extra hard.
