Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great healthy place. Ordered a bliss ball and a veggie juice. Both were excellent. My sister ordered a mango lassi, which was exceptional, I highly recommend. Overall very good, aside from some wobbly tables.

Served by a young man who had more arrogance and attitude than I had ever seen aunone have. Zero warmth or eye contact when serving. He even grabbed the food item slowly before handing it to me, I asked him if it is possible he...could get the food quicker he said nothing and continued at the same pace. Once again, people like this belong in their own planet, where they can pretend they are rulers, but should be nowhere near customer service. Food and coffee were ok, certainly not five stars, methinks many of these reviews are by friends and family.More

To my pleasant suprise I visited this Vegetarian Cafe in March with friends and discovered its first incarnation was a small batch fresh gelato store. The owners have kept it up while diversifying into healthy cuisine. The flavours I have tried so far have been...(sorry I am a gelato nut) vanilla, strawberry white chocolate, salted caramel, rockmelon, licorice, passionfruit, mint choc chip, rose petal and peach and rasberry. It is great gelato, grandparents and parents often take thier kids. $4.50 a scoop, $6.50 a double. Generous serves of gelato that taste great.More

Stopped in at this cafe for some lunch and was presently surprised. They had a good menu and there was a small range of cakes some vegan. I had the tofu burger which was delicious. My husband had the bake of the day and salad....A small cafe with seating in and out side. Would definitely come back.More

This little cafe continues to deliver on fine and fresh munchies and drinks. I love the little venue and the people who run it. I recommend the satay rice paper rolls. The Wagonga coffee is great too.

I popped in before my Japanese lesson for a quick lunch and lesson review. I always get the vegie wrap in satay sauce. This did not disappoint. I also got a coffee. What a fine surprise that was! The place sure is getting busier at...lunchtimes - a sign of how well it is regarded I think, particularly among the mums and bubs! And the cafe has finally introduced an eftpos machine in recognition of our tap and go culture.More

Really very tasty vegetarian food at great prices in a square in a shopping center, the likes of which you don't find anymore. The ambiance is peaceful as is the service. If I lived in Canberra I would eat here frequently.

Every time I go there I have the good intentions of trying the soup of the day but end up having the best lentil burger I've ever come across. Then last time I went, with my visiting brother-in-law, I finally had the soup of the...day and it did't disappoint - you get to chose between having it with a big chunk of bread or, depending on the soup, rice. The iced coffee also goes down a treat. The only issue is its opening hours - what if I want a lentil burger on Sunday? Oh the humanity!More

We ordered some food for brunch before reaching our accomodation in Braddon. Not vegetarian ourselves but decided to try it out. The lentil patty burger was fine, but tofu burger was a disappointment.

I regularly drop in for satay tofu rice paper rolls and a bottle of Remedy Kombucha (Rainbow Dreams is the only place that stocks it in Canberra, it seems). I sit down inside and enjoy the quiet hustle and bustle of people coming and going....I'm not a follower of the religion that these people follow, but I like this restaurant. They don't do cards, so bring cash.More

This is a small but vibrant cafe that is always filled with people - a great testimony to the great food it serves and the friendly service. From small meals (rice rolls etc) to main dishes, there is something for every appetite.

My go-to place for Dhall (my vegetarian staple). I always get take-away so can't vouch for their coffee, but the place is super clean, the staff are super friendly, service is quick, prices are reasonable - and they make a killer berry brownie.
