Just visited Adelaide recently from Queensland and had lunch at two bit villians. The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing, which was great as not being vegan I was not really sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of choice and how tasty the food was. I would recommend it to anyone regardless of wether they are vegan or have food allergies or are just looking for a good value tasty meal.
I live in Sydney and this is the first place I come to when I'm in town. As a coeliac and a vegetarian, it's always difficult to find the 'v' and the 'gf' together on a menu - not here! Delicious comfort food, large portions and friendly staff in a relaxed, high ceilinged diner. Perfect for carb loading between gigs :D
The food is top notch, I have a few very specific food requirements and I don't have to think twice when I order here, which is honestly such a massive deal for me. It makes the anxiety of getting food so much more comfortable. Oh and if you do have questions they are very hospitable. The customer service is honestly the best I have ever had, they are super lovely and I go here on a regular basis because it's one of those places I can trust to always deliver. My picks would be the Chilli Cheese fries, the raspberry soda and there is a peanut butter sundae that is ridiculously good. Oh and there are a range of seating options, a view overlooking the mall which is a really cool from a tourist stand point.
A friend and I sussed this place out yesterday. The young girl was very helpful and gave us options and best seller ideas too. The food was delicious and the house made sodas were a dream. We ordered too much food as most places when suggested a large is enough for one person alone. TBV gives your moneys worth. Love the old school decor and vibe. And love your merch. Will happily return soon again.
Currently sitting in two-bit villains after eating a delicious meal with my two friends. I couldn't wait to write a review! The meal was amazing! We all loved our burgers and the Kola was delicious! We loved the vibe and we felt so relaxed and the staff were amazing! Definitely coming back!
Had a dream last night that I was sitting in Two bit naked, enjoying a tasty burger. Liam got grumpy at me and told me to leave but I insisted i must finish my burger. Anyway. Sick food. I woke up hungry.
Excellent, unique place to grab a large vegan meal and when the weather is right, the view from the balcony in this historical building (Adelaide arcade) above rundle mall is really something special. This place is a MUST-SEE. The food is gorgeous, as are the owners. <3
Amazing...the best Vegan place to eat. Amazing food, amazing staff and amazing atmosphere (and family friendly).
My favourite place for quality vegan food �
I, without a doubt, will always come back!
Our first visit today at Two Bit Villians and it won't be our last!! The service was very quick and the food was absolutely delicious. The chips were amazing!!! Friendly staff, great good and quirky decor.
Finally got to try it! Food was amazing. Had vegan fries burger and hubby had the sweet potato pot pie. Both did not disappoint. To have a full veggie menu that can be veganised is wonderful and then finding a FODMAP option too was perfect. Eating out with our food issues is impossible and this place is a game changer. Drinks were lush too. Will be back ��
Always spectacular food and lovely service! Great to have somewhere that caters so much for vegan and vegetarian food!
I had a very lovely experience here. The veggie burger and mac & cheese I had was delicious! The service was great and the staff were super friendly. I will definitely be back :)
Loved it all! Except the peanut hot chocolate.. there isn’t a cup big enough for enough of that warm cup of loveliness ♥️ I took my parents there for the UK and they couldn’t speak enough of it! I don’t normally eat meat substitute but if you eat any this is the place to do it. Amazing flavor and taste. We can’t wait to go back... o wish they had one closer to me as I would eat there every week.
My friend and I have a weekly fat Friday lunches here at Two Bits Villain. Their burgers taste just like a normal meat burger! So juicy and rich in flavour I would honestly choose this over any other ‘normal burgers’. My favourite is the baron burger whereas my friend prefers the sloppy joe. Fries on the side are amazing! The seasoning for it is just so right!
They do get quite busy during lunch and we always just phone to order and pick it up to make things easier for us!
The staff there are super friendly too! Will highly recommend!!
The staff was kind and considerate, the food is honestly the most DELICIOUS vegan food I’ve had, and it’s refreshing to see a company provide good vegan desserts!
Pretty sick place located about Rundle mall. This restaurant includes a huge range of vegetarian and vegan options making it suited to many dietary needs. I however who is not either still very much enjoyed my food, my milkshake was so yummy I ordered a second. I love the atmosphere and the workers are all so chilled out and friendly
I returned after several years and was pleased to find that the service had vastly improved - we were able to order and eat comfortably within a lunch hour. Both burgers that we ordered were delicious - as a carnivore I did not miss the meat. Good fries.
The service is superb! The people are so kind and to top it off their food is delicious! While the menu prices are a little bit pricey for me, there is no doubt that this place offers great quality food.
Best spot in Adelaide. Perfect for when you want all vegan/vego essential comfort foods like Mac n Cheese, Cheeseburgers, Chilli Cheese Fries etc. So so delicious, service is great, AND THE MILKSHAKES! Beautiful spot especially out on the balcony at night.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Honestly my all time favourite place to go when i'm in the city! The chilli cheese fries are a must have, I highly recommended them as they are amazing.
This secret little gem screams aesthetic as it gives off an American diner vibe with the gorgeous option of sitting outside on the balcony where you can watch the city go by!
100% by far one of my favourite restaurants.
P.S. It's a vegetarian restaurant where the meat tastes so real even my meat eater friends were fooled 😋
Super friendly and helpful staff, and the best *ever* veganised 'beef' burger that reminded me of good ol' takeaway shop burgers 🤤 will be back to try their take on the chicken burger. So good!
Its hard to fault this place. It is in a great hidden location upstairs with a balcony overlooking the mall. They have vegetarian and vegan burgers which have so much flavour! Their fries have the best seasoning too. There is a vast range of homemade soda options. The staff were really friendly. My only complaint would be their uniform, it could possibly be improved to look nicer and avoid the rude words.
I love it here! If I am being honest I hate fizzy drinks but for some reason every time I come here I always grab a soda, because they are so tasty and fresh ( my Favourite flavour is the watermelon. I also love their burgers and the staff are always happy and always give great service! If you are vegan or vegetarian this is a must go to place in Adelaide!
Simply delicious!
Now, I'm not a vegan nor am I a vegetarian, but I just had to try out Two-Bit Villains anyway as it was on my list. Service was standard and friendly, ambience was very lively, and food was awesome!! The chilli cheese fries topped with guacamole and sour cream was so so delightful (and there's heaps to share around too), and so were the burgers (bloody fantastic)! The only thing that did let this place down was its pricing.
But, it doesn't matter if you're a meat lover or not, as I would still reccomend you to come try out their menu since you might be surprised what taste buds you're in for :)
Great food enjoyed by even the non-vegetarians amongst us. The kids love it so much we have to make a pilgrimage there every school holiday -it's become a tradition! Service is always excellent and food has never disappointed. Love it!
Great service, a quiet location above the city centre and tasty reasonably-priced vegetarian food. I'm a meat-eater and I was pretty impressed at how good the spicy vegan hotdogs were. They also have house-made sodas and some of the best onion rings I've ever tasted. If you love diner-style food, or if you're a vego who wants to impress a skeptical omni friend, give this place a go! I'd go there for the onion rings alone!

I really like this place. It is located on the balcony level of historic Adelaide Arcade in what used to be the ballroom. From the outside balcony, you get a great view of Rundle Mall and a sense of what it might have been like years ago. Two Bit Villains has a very cool vibe and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Right from the minute you step in the door you feel welcomed. Lunch time can be very busy but Saturday afternoon can be a little less busy. Despite that, the service was still fast in the busy lunch time and the food arrived quickly. The food options are all vegetarian with vegan choices as well. Even a meat lover would enjoy the 'beef' burger I think. Two Bit also specialises in sodas. These are all made from fresh produce so are seasonal. The strawberry and kiwi fruit one was like a meal in itself - very filling along with the burger.
There is so much to like about Two Bit Villains - ambiance, location, service and food. I have been twice now and know that I will go again. Also - messages left by email and Facebook were answered within 2 hours. Impressive!
After a little difficulty finding and navagating our way with a double stroller, baby and toddler in tow, we were a little hesitant to order from a "no meat" burger menu. However, we were hungry and dangerously close to our toddlers nap time so we braved it and ordered chilli fries, "beef" burger, a "chicken" burger and onion rings. While waiting, we had some hand crafted sodas which were delightful and a bargain for $5 for a huge glass.
The food came and it was packed full of flavour, crunch and accompanied with the perfect amount of sauces and seasoning.
The staff were so friendly and for a hipsterish restaurant not judgy at all while we wrangled our toddler and breastfed my baby.
Additionally, our toddler started having a meltdown as she was overtired and the staff obliged by giving us takeaway containers as they could see we needed to make a quick exit.
Thanks for a great meal girls!
My go to place! Never disappointing, would recommend to any vego or non-vegos out there. Great view of the city on the balcony aswell. They have vegan alternatives for everything which is also very nice. Drinks are creative and fun.
Great food, brilliant atmosphere but slowish service, especially for a workday lunch break. Go there just for the vegan Mac and cheese. It's sorcery. I so want to be a fly on the wall in that kitchen.
Two-Bit Villans is located in a gorgeous space, beautiful high ceilings, so much light, and just a relaxing but hip setup.
Service is always helpful and welcoming, willing to answer questions. Over a number of visits, I've tried the Cheeseburger, the Classic Burger with chips-YUM, and most recently, Nachos - OMG! All dishes have been very flavoursome, soft, juicy and filling.
They also make their own in-house sodas. I tried the unsweetened one with ginger, mint and lime. It was a bit bland and unexciting. Of the sweetened sodas, I tried blueberry and blackberry flavours, and they was delish (ah, sugar is magic, what can I say!)
Overall, a pretty cool place.
This place is great for effort but a bit hit and miss - the chik'n burger is really bland and messy, but the fries, onion rings and most burgers are solid. Great place to take omnivores, but make sure you book because it gets busy.

Hey you guys, have you heard about Two-Bit Villains? I am probably a bit slow to catch on, but this soda bar & diner (est. in 2011) is secreted away in the upper balcony of the Adelaide Arcade – and it’s vegan! I was fascinated to try one of their ‘beef’ (soy) burgers and see how it measures up, so on the waitress’s recommendation I ordered the Baron, with the soy patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese and smokey BBQ sauce – plus I added pickles ($12, plus 50c for the pickles). The burger came with fries, and let me tell you, the herbed seasoning they use is actually amazing! When I asked what was in it, I was told it’s the chef’s special, so they’re not giving up any secrets! First bite of the burger is all about
I've been here several times (both the new location and the old one) and I find it's a really cool place to find American foods which are vegetarian or vegan, and all to hang out with your friends. I tried the panko 'chicken' burger the other week, which was actually crumbed tofu in a bun with baby spinach, sweet potato mash and gravy. If you want to find meatless meat that actually resembles meat, don't order this burger. It doesn't taste like chicken at all, but if you like tofu and aren't hoping for a chicken taste then you'll like this burger. It's really filling too, especially if you get a side order of fries or onion rings with it.
Oh and the soda floats here are FAB as well. The sodas are hand crafted and don't have that high carbonated taste that soft drinks have. All in all, a really funky place that's relaxed and serves great food.
I love two bit villains, their homemade sodas are delish. I've had their burgers and chilli cheese fries which were amazing and I'm definitely coming back when I'm in the city again
Actually my favourite place to eat ever! I look forward to the days when I can come and I think about the fries all day everyday. Thanks for the great service and yummy food!
Love the food, environment, speed
and love the service from beard guy and pony tail guy
The fries are what I live for, and the soy patties are tasty
You guys rock socks
Meals are well priced and lots of options to chose from. Friendly staff and its a cool joint in the arcade- not many soda diners around! Try the pulled pork if you can, it sells out quick!
Very good environment, good sevice~ The food is pretty fresh n taste good too. And very suprised when i know that all the food are made by vegs...
Sodas were delicious. The burgers were the best we've ever had (sloppy joe and el bandito) and the sundae great too. Atmosphere a tiny bit lacking due to emptiness. Loved it
Love fast food but want to feel better about yourself for eating it? Well Two Bit Villains might be your one-stop solution. Priding themselves on their handmade botanical soda and vegetarian-dedicated menu, predominantly featuring burgers with faux meat; 'chicken' and 'mince' (soy), this getup is alty as f*ck. Similarly, hipster wait staff and tiki decor such as animal-print chairs, faux floristry, vintage canvases and odd items charmingly decorate the grand balcony atop Adelaide Arcade. For lunch we gormandised on the 'Villains' classic veggie burger;' $12.50 a tasty amalgamation of a chickpea and lentil patty, smashed avo and condiments. The onion rings were a tad overcooked but still tasted decent while the passionfruit soda was a bit artificially sweet for my liking. A pretty good spot, and they even have many vegan and gluten free options for those batting on the dietary extremes.
Great food, nice venue, and I love that everything can be ordered vegan. They also have gluten free versions of most of the menu, which is fantastic. The nachos are amazing!
Sarsaparilla Float was great, beautiful ice cream and a grown up soda with real flavour, not just a sugary hit.
Would like to go back to try some food - chilli cheese fries will get me back through the door and we will go from there...

Another day out for lunch! This time we decided to head over to Adelaide Arcade to try Two-Bit Villains, which was located on the balcony level. Honestly, this is the first time going to the balcony level, so I missed the stairs up a few times, so that was quite fail of me.
When I saw a quick glimpse of the restaurant, I knew the interior will be decently designed, and it didn't disappoint when I walked in. The restaurant was smaller than anticipated however it was nice and cosy. The decorations and seating was also nicely placed (really like their cactus...).
The waitress quickly approached us, and tried finding a seat for us. It was during lunch time, so there wasn't much seats remaining, so we got seated at the "coach" table. This table is terrible if you want to eat and if you're tall, but nice if you're just chilling and enjoying a drink. We did both, so it was good and bad for us. They also had the balcony opened for customers to view Rundle Mall from above, and that was quite nice especially on such a beautiful sunny day.
Now onto the food! We ordered a soda, burger each and a large onion rings to share. We ordered the "Baron Burger" and "Fowl Play Burger", and for sodas, we ordered "Cream soda", "Apple Pie" and "Passionfruit". Starting off with the soda, since they are known as "soda specialist". I was impressed with mine (apple pie). At first, I was expecting a typical apple cider of some sort, but nope, it actually tasted like apple pie! It was really weird at first, because I never imagined having an apple pie in liquid form, and I slowly got use to it and enjoyed it near the end. The soda would be better if it could be a bit colder, especially when the heat is coming back soon.
For the burgers, the Baron Burger was pretty standard, but the sauce really stuck out for me. This is probably the "healthiest" burger I've had, despite not ordering vegetarian, but it was still pretty flavoursome. The Fowl Play on the other hand though, I honestly thought their "chicken" would be legit chicken. I was wrong. Their chicken had the texture of "Youtiao", which is also known as Chinese oil stick/Chinese doughnut. That was one unexpected chicken, I was quite disappointed with it at first, but once I accepted that there was no real chicken in it, the burger still taste good. The mashed sweet potato was very interesting, but it went well with it. The onion rings was probably the most normal thing we had, and luckily it actually tasted like normal ones, but crunchier.
Overall, Two-Bit Villains was one interesting experience, with their burgers leaning more to the healthy side, and great specialized sodas. I would definitely come back next time to try their remaining burgers and sodas, but with a "healthy lunch" mindset.
Loved the cream soda home made soda. The raspberry was also quite nice. The flavouring on the chips is a great mix, not too salty or overpowering. I would not recommend it for a quick lunch as it gets quite busy and they're not particularly speedy at those times. The 'long arm of the slaw' burger with 'pulled pork' was good but I would not recommend for people who are put off by meat substitutes that look extremely meaty. A burger with the pressed 'beef' patty might be a better option if that is the case!

Two Bit Villains have been upstairs in the Adelaide Arcade for years & have recently moved from their small, unassuming space upstairs to the large balcony space at the Rundle Mall end.
The new space looks absolutely gorgeous. With a balcony, large windows & perfect signwork, it certainly has the 'wow' factor. Fitting a Rockabilly outfit inside is a tricky one - It looks really nice, but it feels so strange with the ornate stylings of the room. I kinda like the eclectic'ness' of it all, though.
The food is Americana, with their specialty being the hand made sodas! On this occasion, a friend ordered a Raspberry soda, another friend ordered (i have more than one?! OMG) the Vanilla Malt shake & I ordered a Strawberry shake. The shake was SO GOD DAMN YUMMY. I tried the Vanilla Malt and I WILL be getting it next time.
But their sodas?! Brilliant. Full of flavour and love.
We also ordered food. When you read the menu & squint (much like a magic eye) you start to realise that there is in fact no meat on this burger menu. Which they never really out-right mention (schneaky schneaky). It appears much of the menu is a Soy Substitute and nearly all meals can be made Vegan / Vegetarian or Gluten Free.
This made me nervous, so I ordered the nachos, which had no soy. It did have beans, guac, a salsa, corn, carrot and cheese. They were delicious & super filling. They did take a while to come out however.
We also ordered some onion rings which were really really great. I feel like I could've eaten them all myself.
The others I was with ordered a 'meat' (soy) burger. They said they didn't mind it but I'm not sure if they loved it. I can't talk for them, though!
Definitely pop up for some soda or a milkshake and a gander at the premises!
I tried both the 'Long Arm of the Slaw' and the 'Baron' burgers and both were fantastic. The buns were thick but not too soft/hard which provided for a good mouth feel. The burgers themselves were complex and flavorful. I believe (I could be wrong) that the Slaw burger's pulled bbq filling is jackfruit, which makes a really good pulled meat texture. I ordered a basket of onion rings as well, which were very well prepared and amply supplied. The decor was a little sparse and lacking but, as I understand, they recently moved and will be decorating the new space further. Service was great. Some people complain of long wait times but the food was delivered promptly, even with most tables being full. Very satisfied and will be returning soon!
service: gooood ✔️✔️
food/coffee: interesting, different, quirky but delicious
atmosphere: cool and relaxing
accommodates for allergies: YES VEGAN VEGETARIAN GLUTEN FREE AND THE REST
my favourite item on the menu: burger and chips

Hidden away on the upper level of the Adelaide Arcade is this quirky burger joint. Stepping through the door, it looks like a local tropical beach-side bar, crossed with a 50's diner with a dash of comic-con memorabilia. It's quite a small premises so you need to get in early if you want a seat. Judging by the steady stream of customers that quickly filled up the place, it's a particular hit with students and comic fans.
The menu is purely vegetarian with gluten free and vegan options. They also do a variety of handcrafted sodas. The friendly girl behind the counter even asked if I had any dietary requirements. I ordered the El Bandido Burger which is made with a black bean patty and chipolte mayo with a side of fries.
The meal was served in a basket lined with purple napkins. The bun was large and soft, the patty was full of flavour and the mayo had just the right amount of heat. The shoestring fries were crunchy and very well seasoned (just the way I like them). The meal was very filling and I didn't miss the meat at all!
The only downsides were that the place is so small and I think they only had one staff member on during lunch which meant I had to wait over 30 mins for my meal. Other than that, great tasting food and a unique concept.
Just had word that they are moving to a bigger premises in the Adelaide Arcade - great news! :)
Loving this out of the way, fun, fresh diner! Upstairs inAdelaide Arcade, you could easily miss it while you wander through. Burgers, hot dogs, nachos... I wanna come here everyday for lunch! Today I tried the nachos with sour cream and guac and I was pretty happy with myself. My friend had a veggie burger (yes, they have a vegetarian menu) and also loved it BUT I didn't love the fries- too much seasoning and I'm not a skinny fry person, so I felt let down. That feeling didn't last long though because then I had my raspberry soda float (aka a raspberry spider) and everything was right with the world again! Highly recommended for a funky lunch break.
Ginger Soda - Old School, Refreshing and Tasty. As above, I just wish I was hungry when I went as the food looked delish.
My coffee buddy had a soy iced coffee that was larger than life.
Will be back!
Holy delicious. My first time at Two-Bit and certainly not my last!
I wandered in for a bite and wasn't left disappointed.
I ordered the El Bandido burger with a side of fries. Being a black bean burger, I was a little worried that it would be a rock-hard thick patty but went along with the order because of the promise of chipotle sauce (always a logical conclusion).
I was very happily proven wrong and the patty was soft and I think had quinoa in it? But it was well seasoned, tasted delicious and the chipotle sauce was great too. It wasn't weak on the heat and while not super hot, left a pleasant tingle on my tongue. Fries were seasoned with something other than salt which added more savoury goodness to the meal.
I'll be back again very soon and can't wait to try a soda. Thanks guys!
Great Vego! Love the milkshakes :). Love the concept of this place
I enjoyed taking my big vegetarian man out for lunch where he can decide what he wants to order rather than be forced to choose between a bowl of chips or a bowl of wedges...
We had the nachos & onion rings & a sloppy joe & we both enjoyed our meals.
So it is not award winning, Michelin star food - it's yummy, it's naughty, it's fresh & it's made with love.
Lime milkshakes kick ass. Thanks team :) Yeah we'll be back.
Bang on!. Get the hotdog, or the chilli cheese fries!!
I don't care what anyone says, I honestly thought they were meat... I had to double check if they were or not! Hahaha. So good.
We can all stand to eat 'cruelty-free' once in a while even if we are normally carnivores, A+++ from me. V impressive.
These guys dont have that "bad attitude" that most veg/vegan places have in adelaide, they're very chill.
A different atmosphere! This place has a unique decor with also a unique style of seating arrangement. There are high stools, normal chairs to small comfy sofas. Also, there is music playing which adds that extra touch creating a unique vibe! Would reccomend. Food was also quite nice
The vibe here is 50s luau-themed diner and is quite cute. The sodas are extraordinary - although you'll have to go several times to try the full selection (only a few are on offer each day). The service is really friendly and quick. Vegan diners have very extensive options, with their own dedicated menu - and virtually no "off-limits" main menu items. The burgers are tasty, chilli cheese fries are amazing and the onion rings are perfect. The only thing I don't like as much about this place is that they serve their food in little baskets, which gets really awkward and messy. Definitely a fun and special place though. I really hope it survives tucked upstairs in Adelaide Arcade. It's so unique and committed to its theme! Love it!
Amazing menu(s)! Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free deliciousness. The only downside is that the vegan onion rings are processed, crumbed ones, whereas the vegetarian ones are gigantic, battered beauties. Very disappointing when you're not expecting them to be any different. GF burgers are made with toast, rather than buns. Chilli cheese fries are to die for. Will definitely be back for more.
I almost don't feel cool enough to eat here but don't let that out you off the yummy food. Location is hard to find if you don't know where to go but worth the hunt
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Anything wrapped in quotation marks is usually code for 'not meat'.. I quite enjoyed my experience at Two Bit Villains last week.
My first impression was certainly influenced by the decor, it was very interesting and quirky; maybe a little over the top but at-least it was fun (and my personal taste is irrelevant, you can't please everyone with the small things).
I ordered the vegetarian nachos and a hand-made raspberry soda, and it was only $15 for the lot!
I found the nachos to be delicious, cheesy but not excessively so, and the bean mix was quite tasty.
The soda was delicious, it actually tasted like raspberries! I would liked to have seen some mint and lemon included (but again, that's just personal taste), how it was on it's own was delicious.
My friend had a sloppy joe which was obviously made with a soy-based mince substitute, and he didn't even notice or care (he is a meat enthusiast, just for the record) and said it was barely distinguishable from the tangle of herbs and spices and sauce it was cooked in. He also had a vanilla malt shake which he really liked, and it came out in this quirky jar with a fun old-fashioned straw and a plastic flamingo poking out the top!
There was a wait on the food which they mentioned when we ordered, about twenty minutes, and it would have been good if the staff prioritised getting our drinks out a little earlier (but I probably would have finished it before the food came out so it was good in the end).
Some improvements that they could make would be to have some table water brought out to the customers, especially if there's a food wait, and maybe hire an extra person so that they can have someone to be available for customers and to make sure that the little things are taken care of; like table water, napkins, setting tables, etc.
There's a cute little museum across the way for anyone who's interested in the local history, and a laminated paper from the 1930's to flick through which is so funny and worth the look.
In the end we've got good food, pretty decor, but the staff need to work on having a presence and actually making the customer experience good instead of relying on the food to do that. In my experience it absolutely did, but that's quite a precarious thing to rely on.
I dropped in when I was without my partner and fancy-free. Although the fries burger looked so tempting I rationalised my ahem-second burger (it was Tuesday!) by settling on the veggie burger. The patty was decidedly homemade, which is definitely a good thing, and mustard and tomato sauce combination was tops! Although a blantant carnivore now, I was vegetarian for 20 odd years and could see how this would totally appeal to vegos and vegans, who might struggle for something decent elsewhere. Meateaters, as long as you know there's no meat going in you'll love it too. Despite the lack of meat, I loved the burger. The mint tea was AWESOME. So good. I'm a huge fan of their sodas and thus how I can find the store. It's tucked away but worth the adventure! I'd go back for sure.
I think a lot of people miss the point with this place.. they're all vegetarian but its designed so that non-veg people can eat there without feeling 'judged' too. Its welcoming to all types. This is my favorite place to take my vegan partner because we can both eat and I can get a burger and onion rings and a shake without having to get a stupid salad or bean curry!!
If you like meat and feel like you might be missing out here - dont. Get onion rings or a hotdog yeah!
They get really busy over lunch so book or go after 2 if you're in a hurry.
ps. Fake bacon is not "spam" as someone else wrote, way to be open minded dude..
Yum-a-licious. Onion Rings = *Drool*
Vanilla Malt Shake = *Content Sigh*
Fries Burger = *My jeans don't do up anymore but I'm too happy to care*
This place is an Adelaide hidden treasure!
Liam and Sass (the owners) are great, generous and caring!
The atmosphere is wicked, warm and inviting!
The food and beverages are just too good!!
So go, eat and enjoy!

All of the Love!. I first heard about Two-Bit last year through a mutual friend. She raved about the people and the place, and convinced me that it was a must-visit location for vegan eats.
First, the decor and location:
Sadly, Two-Bit is located at the top of Adelaide Arcade. Everyone I've ever taken their has walked straight past the stairway until I call them back. Then we labor up the stairs, bribing ourselves with the fact that lunch is almost within our grasp. Finally, we make it, and you're hit with a burst of colour and brightness that manages not to be overwhelming. The recent overhaul of their decor provides several seating options, so you can come in with larger groups, or tuck yourself away in a corner and people watch. The two best things are the attention to detail (the way the lace on the seats match the colour of the tablecloths) and the music!
The food!
Sass and Liam offer a incredible dedication to dietary requirements and health, without sacrificing taste. I know I'm coming in with the whiny vegan voice now, but it's so helpful to go to lunch and know that the people making my food understand what I can and can't eat. I also really love having choice! The menu is comprehensive, and gives me as many options as my hungry brain can handle. Sass and Liam have also gone to great lengths experimenting with new food ideas and menu items that allow the vegans to eat the same thing as their non-vegan friends.
I'll admit, I've been disappointed a few times when I've come in and not been able to order what I want, but I also know that everything is made by two people, and that they can't make a bajillion things in advance, just in case one thing is more popular than usual (and just think of how wasteful that would be).
I always enjoy my food, I always want more afterwards (not because I'm still hungry but because reasons) and I always feel safe eating here.
Finally, the people:
Sass and Liam are excellent. They're friendly to everyone, they're accommodating to customer needs, and they are always happy to receive constructive feedback.
And that's that. I love the place, I love the food, and I love the people. Go to Two-Bit gorrammit!! NOW!
Delish! Best onion rings I've ever had - nice and crispy and not soggy. Onion ring burger is a stroke of brilliance.
Fries are crisp and salty, as fries ought to be. The veggie burger is a proper burger - huge and substantial.
My only criticism was the buns were a little stale and therefore crumbly. Also the sloppy joe mince is very sweet - almost a plum sauce kind of taste, so perhaps not to everyone's liking.
Other than that, fantastic and creative food.
My guilty pleasure. Two-bit villains, another small couple-owned business that I recommend going to if you feel like escaping 2013 society for awhile.
Vegan and vegetarian junk food, sometimes us vegos want to feel a little naughty, and this place hits the spot everytime, team a sloppy joes burger with the fries and you end up feeling like the only way to leave will be to roll out!
Tasty food, kind-hearted people with bright smiles, considering it's a business run by two people and sometimes a couple helpers, any out-of-the-ordinary time spent waiting on the food can be forgiven.
Vegetarian's delight. The vegie burger was very tasty, loved that it was a homemade patty and all the other components complimented each other well. Raspberry soda was okay, nothing to rave about, I wish it had been fizzier. It was a bit tricky eating at the bar (there is limited seating) as the stools are quite wobbly. Will definitely go back to try the vegetarian Sloppy Joe and onion rings.
Its my home away from home. Such a friendly, peaceful laid back atmosphere with comfy chairs, good music. Often if getting on the bus for the trip home fromwork looks too hard, I stop by for my favourite soda and a delicious fries burger. Oh AND there is kickass fashion! I may or may not have slowly restyled my entire wardrobe through these guys. Not to mention did half my christmas shopping last year buying neat crafty accessories. So much love. A must have Adelaide haunt.
Best shakes in town, hands down. All of their burgers are top notch too, the onion ring and veggie burger in particular is brilliant.
All in all 5/5.
Fresh and filling. Went there for lunch today and was surprised that their standard menu and vegetarian menu were no different. I was expecting some kind of meat in the standard menu, but not really a problem.
I had the toasty and onion rings and it was pretty good. The toasty was made with thick bread and the ingredients were fresh. Nothing I couldn't have made at home though. The onion rings were definitely the best ones I've ever had in Adelaide - crunchy, big, juicy onions but slightly salty. Very impressed with the serving sizes though.
I also had the passionfruit soda. A bit too sweet for my liking and not really fizzy enough, but it was reasonably priced.
Overall it was a very nice lunch, but nothing amazing.
ONION RINGS. Best damn onion rings I've ever had!

Funky Soda Bar. I accidentally stumbled across this place today and am so glad I did. The decor was funky and the waitress was really friendly. I asked her to recommend some sodas to me and she suggested Creaming Soda and Dirty Root (each $5). They were both fantastic. I will be back for sure to try the other sodas.
Tasty. So impressed that these guys cater for vegans, vegetarians, gluten free etc we found something that everyone in our group could eat.
Even better now they're open 7 days, heaps more convenient
TASTY!!
If you’re looking for some fast food of the high salt, high fat and high sugar variety this your place. It’s essentially the vego’s McDonalds.
One of my favourite places was a little shop by the name of Two Bit Villains, tucked away on the upper level of Adelaide Arcade. Oozing rockabilly glamour, this place makes their own sodas from scratch. Oh boy, are they good. I had a creaming soda float as they had sold out of the one I was dying to try - chai soda. I was not disappointed. At a measly $6, you get a large cup
The staff were absolutely wonderful, informative, friendly, and there was a huge menu to choose from!
There was quite a long wait as they were pretty busy when we went, but the drinks were lovely while we waited.
I love that a vegetarian can order without worries here, and all you need to do is ask for your order to be vegan, and they'll take care of the rest!
I can't say I recommend the chicken burger, it doesn't have a lot of flavour and the spongy bread-like texture of the patty was very off-putting. The crumbling was nice though.
The "mozzarella sticks" were creamy and tasty, but don't bite into them expecting stretchy cheese. They're quite soft.
Overall a lovely experience, I'm gonna try something else on the menu next time though!
Wow! We stumbled onto this but what an amazing find. Everything vegetarian with vegan options. And the Americana style dishes are just great.
Their drinks range of house made sodas are also worth trying
The location elevated above Adelaide Arcade with views over Rundle mall are lovely. And the interior a fun mix of 60’s furniture and older 1890s architecture of Adelaide Arcade
Food was fast and service was good.
A friend suggested we go here for lunch, was not aware it was a vego restaurant. Pleasantly surprised, ordered the cajun salad and it was delicious. The fried chicken was really tasty, once you got over the texture of it, kind of bread like. Tried the soda too, was nice and they had a variety of different flavours that you wouldn’t normally get from a softy. Service was friendly and food came out nice and fast
What a find. Ordered the onion rings and they were amazing. A must have if you are here. We also had the cheeseburger and the Baron burger and both were delicious. Highly recommend dropping in.
A lovely friendly restaurant, The staff were extremely efficient and offered suggestions to those who hadn't dined vegetarian before, The wait time was also quite quick,I had the onion ring burger and it was really good
Delicious food! My friend and I ordered 'The jailbird' and the 'Chilli Cheese Fries', along with a lime and choc milkshake. It was served promptly and the view from the balcony was wonderful, so peaceful and pretty. I would recommend this food to all, you couldn't tell there was no meat!!!
Wonderful little place, deserves more awareness! The sodas have a nice almost herbal taste, and the vegan Mac and cheese is fantastic.
The breaded tenders have a very unique approach of being sourdough-like pieces crumbed and fried, creating that chicken-like chewiness in a familiar way.
Great place to go with friends
