Sue McDonald, Truly Scrumptious
+5
I’ve been meaning to try Vans for a long while, and it’s definitely a popular location, situated in Napoleon Street behind Boatshed Markets. I immediately loved the vibe of the cafe – friendly staff, a great looking cake cabinet, jazzy music and nice decor, and it had quite a buzz about it but wasn’t so loud that you needed to shout. I chose fresh orange to start which was good and vibrant – great flavour.
Coffee is beautifully strong. Staff are warm and friendly. I’ve been going here for years.
Superb food - absolutely beautiful. Service great. This was not a cheap meal - $300 for 4 of us because the booze really hiked up the total. I wouldn’t go regularly at this price, but certainly can’t fault the food choices or flavours - it was really delicious.
Frequent Vans often and enjoy the experience. Tonight , three out of the four us had great meals, unfortunately I was the odd one out. The Wagu burger was the driest and most tasteless burger i have had. When paying I was asked were we happy with the meals, I acknowledged the other three meals were excellent but the burger was sub standard. The reply from the chap behind the counter was surprising - "I actually had one a couple of days ago and I thought the same was his reply",
Not Good Vans, Pick Your Game Up
I come here all the time when I’m around the area. I have never had a bad meal, or coffee... give this place a go, food is consistent, tasty and well prepared. Good quantity and nice service.
I am not a big fan of salads, sorry to admit it in the era of healthy lifestyles. I am more for a serious hot lunch and not just a bunch of veggies.
BUT… the #superfood #salad from Vans in #Cottlesloe has conquered me. It was a hearty mix of grains, topped with crunchybroccoli, roasted eggplant, kohlrabi, all dipped in a rich-flavoured #balsamic #dressing, and a bunch of #tasmanian #smokedsalmon . Really yummy!
Lunch on Friday. Amazing Barramundi. Perfectly cooked, superb beets and warm salad to accompany. Friend had beef salad. Loved it. Different taste due to fennel? but still fantastic. Can never go wrong with the food at Vans
I got the Hot Potato Cake with smoked salmon, was really tasty with a generous amount of salmon, even the spinach was cooked perfectly. Mum got the Pea, Mint & Ricotta eggs, she also really enjoyed it. Food came out relatively quick considering they were super busy too. Thanks for the lovely service ladies.
Cool place, good quality food and lots to choose from on the menu. My friends and I had breakfast here and we all enjoyed it. One staff member was a little rude however and it's very over priced so be prepared to pay more! I would still like to return for either breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I’ve come here twice now and both times have been amazing. They’re always packed but the service is very fast and the food, although on the pricier side is definitely worth it. I had the miso eggplant (10/10) and my sister had the kingfish poke bowl (9/10).
Great place to stop in for a coffee and cake or to grab some lunch. The menu looks incredible with lots of modern Asian flavours.
The vegetarian Vietnamese rolls were delicious. $9 for a large sized roll full of fresh ingredients. The accompanying dipping sauce was delightful.
Very peaceful place with a great ambience. Will be visiting again. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Loved the takeaway window and side seating. 😍
Fresh food, very friendly and helpful waiter. Easy parking. Nice atmosphere. A bit pricey but the foods were well presented. The coffee could be better.
Lovely little restaurant. Friendly staff, greeted and served very promptly. Nice selection of Asian fusion food with plenty of variety. I will definitely be back to try out some more of their specialties.
Stopped into vans spontaneously with my husband for a late brekkie and coffee. I had the whole crushed as avocado and a flat white , the avocado was beautiful they weren’t shy with the serving size.
The coffee is outstanding. High on my list of recommendations.
Friendly staff, fast service, and great coffee. We came in without a booking (not a smart idea, I'll admit) and still were accommodated for. Food-wise, the Hawker Roll and the Whole Crushed Avocado are both sensational - must have's! My wife and I are 10000% coming back.
This has been a local fav of ours and has yet to disappoint. Recently tried their potato skins nachos and they’re so crispy and tasty! We also always order their beef salad.
