All food & drinks have always been really good & fresh at Nagev the Plant based cafe. Friendly staff. I guess people (and the cafe/restaurant) want to hear also what could be improved upon. So that being said the omnivore liked the PB brekky burger, he said he would’ve liked some tomato or some sort of acidity with his as the ‘Nagev’ sauce wasn’t quite enough, I shared my tomato & he said it then balanced it a lot better & cut through the creaminess which overtook the limited bacon he was given.
I did pay extra $3.50 for mushrooms- and although they were cooked perfectly, I did feel it still was not real value for money for how much I got. Same goes for the very limited house baked feta.. it was more like a garnish amount.
It does have to be said that the toilet needs attention (I understand it’s an old building) but what I mean is having extra soap - they had run out - albeit a tad mixed with water. And although I appreciate the no paper towels, there was only a tea towel hanging on back of door to dry hands on, it would be great to have an all natural antibacterial gel to use as well.
The seats are not the most comfy (no backs and hard) the tables aren’t friendly to my MS affected legs as the table legs are in the way unless you lift & put them over the ledge. More able-bodied people wouldn’t think too much about this, but I do. Wheelchair access would be fairly difficult particularly independently, as there is steps into the cafe, fortunately I didn’t need it - and we got a rock star carpark out the front! Still, wouldn’t stop us/ me from going again (4th time there so far) Just something to think about. Coffee drinkers said it was very good coffee. The sweet potato fries (and regular fries) are really good - you can taste that they don’t use old oil & that they use good quality salt, lightly sprinkled on top (I usually hate people adding salt for me) Cost of 3 brunch meals (1 with ‘extra’ mushrooms), 3 drinks & a side of sweet potato fries was $75+ dollars.
It’s really great to see take home meals available, I would’ve liked to have the option of the current green curry & rice on the menu so I could’ve tried before I bought, however we did take home some pastries🥧🍴🌱
