The new owner is great, some changes to the menu give real variety to what’s available at other cafes. My lunch was so full of flavour, and was a good sized serve too. This cafe strives to use great quality ingredients, preferably locally sourced. Friendly staff, great food and a great atmosphere. We will be back!

Awesome cafe. Insist on extra shot of coffee in your cup or else it'll taste like the usual weak South Australian coffee. Try the FNG bar, to die for. BTW I'm from NSW.

Really good service, friendly and happy to help you. A simple menu but still plenty to choose from and I love snacking which is great here because there are little snacks to choose from as well. The veggie breakfast muffins are amazing, a little pricey but if you want to treat yourself you won't be disappointed!  Fresh juices are also delish but I love a good iced latte as well - a dash of syrup never hurt anyone either - and if you're going to go the whole hog why not grab a cake, so many vegan options (even if you're not vegan) and regular options as well. I also recommend you try the lemon shorties, you can't go wrong! I'm working my way through the menu :)

What a great place to go and have a coffee, dessert and lunch/breakfast. One of my regular places I like to go. All the food is fantastic and most of all the service and atmosphere is fabulous. Smashed avo with eggs and bruschetta is my fave. They have an excellent selection of delicious raw desserts as well as naughty ones. Good kombucha choice to. Keep it up!

Amazing vibe, friendly staff, delicious drinks and food. Second time I've been there and both times they've exceeded expectations. If you're vegan or vegetarian or just like eating a clean meal this is the place to go for catching up with a friend or just grabbing a coffee and raw dessert

I've walked past The Annex Cafe a few times now, but only recently got the chance to stop in and treat myself to one of their beautiful sweets! The small space is made welcoming by wooden furniture and succulents in planters on each table - otherwise there are lovely outdoor seats around the corner. The cake display cabinet is full of dietary-requirement-friendly treats, and it was hard to only pick one. Finally, I chose the lemon and raspberry cake ($7), which is

Really nice place! Got some nice selections but a little bit expensive, still would very much recommend! My vegan friend enjoyed it as her selections were quite widespread too. Healthy food tasted great here! Want to go back this summer!

What a wonderful little find. I'm sometimes skeptical of places that substitute foods for what's classed as "healthier", or more in vogue, but The Annex has made a fine job of it.

I had a vegetarian lasagne, it was served with a fresh salad with an olive oil with a lovely depth. Lasagne had a cauliflower white sauce that was smooth, vegetabley and very savoury. Matched by nice sweetness coming from the capsicum & big pieces of zucchini. Lovely balance of flavours.

Boyfriend had chicken schniztel Turkish sandwich that he loved.

Tried both the vanilla chai smoothie and the snickers smoothie. Snickers smoothie was thick and made with dates, cacao & cows milk. Flavour was nice and enjoyable. Vanilla chai was made with almond milk which is very thin but had a nice taste.

Very popular little place & now I know why.

Great cafe tucked away in Glenelg. Staff are helpful and pleasant. Defiantly my fav cafe in Glenelg and gets over looked. Small seating but never have trouble getting a seat. They use coffex coffee which is always good. Closed Sunday's during winter which is disappointing.

I had visited The Annex Cafe many times for quick takeaway freshly squeezed juices and raw treats but today I decided I would sit in and try something from the lunch menu.  The Annex Cafe is a tiny cafe with indoor and outdoor seating just off Jetty road in Glenelg.  They aim to cater for many types of dietary needs including vegetarians, vegans, gluten free and paleo.

Nice, fresh food but not a lot to choose from and the coffee isn't great. Good for a fresher, grab-and-go lunch but lacking the atmosphere to stay and 'brunch'.

We went here with a group of 5 and even though it is a small cafe we easily found a suitable table to fit us all comfortably. Upon arriving we were welcomed warmly and given menu's and told how to order. Whilst sitting waiting for fellow friends I took time to look around the small cafe, the decor is very rustic and it has a very warm, friendly and calm atmosphere, a place you could sit sipping a latte and reading the paper for hours. We tried some of the wraps, the falafel wrap was delicious, the falafels were not dry at all, best I've tried. Another one we tried was the smashed avo bruschetta which was absolutey delicious also, those would be our two recommendations. We also selected 5 of the raw cakes and they were nice enough to cut them up and put them on a platter, this was great because it meant we got to try almost all the display cakes, too hard to pick a favourite but Nutella always goes down a treat! The coffees were well made and loved that the baristas were enjoing showing off their latte art and their lovely relaxed & friendly personalities. Overall we had a really pleasant experience & whenever we are down that way we will definitely pop in again. Prices are very reasonable, staff are friendly & food was great!

Very cool place. If you love great tasting food, great coffee and some awesome juices give it a whirl. My fav is the smashed avo and eggs and it is amazing. The ice filter coffee is really nice also. I've been a daily regular for a year now and it's always amazing. Great service and friendly staff.

What will they do An-next?. The Annex cafe is my new favourite place to have coffee. I'm not sure whether it's their great baristas or their choice of coffee beans, but their coffee always tastes great. Very vegan friendly; another great place that offers more than just soy milk. The menu is small but always changing and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Located in a great spot.

Winter Redemption. I'm SO not a winter person, but some of the true delights of the colder weather are my experiences at The Annex.

The coffee is the best in Glenelg, and the food makes me healthier with every meal! Seriously, today... Caramelised Beetroot soup?! Call me a skeptic before I tried it, and now I want the recipe! Breathtaking!

Excellent service, and a unique experience with every visit thanks to the ever changing decor.

Love this joint all year round, but especially in winter!

Get on it!

Healthy, fresh and very cool. Older people, groups of teenagers and everyone inbetween! I was surprised to see the variety of people spending their hard earned dish in this little cracker of a cafe. Great coffee and juices, but the food is imaginative, fresh and healthy. Combinations of ingredients are interesting and well balanced and so much more than the sum of their parts. If you're in Glenelg and looking for breakfast or lunch that's a bit more interesting give this place a try.

Suroundings are clean, comfortable and drizzled with interesting objects, ingredients and art. be sure to check out the mural on the outside walk round the corner. Watch out though its small and pretty busy.

Amazing Veg Breaky and we're not even Vegies. My Carnivore-only Hubby rav's about it. Now that is really saying something.

They don't have a lot on the menu to choose from but what they do, they do very well. Don't let limited choice put you off as you'll be missing out on a real gem of Adelaide

Highly recommend - scrambled eggs with salmon and whatever horseradish cream, beautiful rye bread.

Intoxicating! I want it again!

Always great!. I have never had a bad experience at The Annex. The cafe itself is beautifully decorated and the menu is always different besides a few favourites that seem to always be on there. The food is always delicious and the prices are good too. They have become a little more expensive recently but not by enough to complain about. Heaps of vegan options and the coffee is amazing. Staff are always friendly too :)

Yummo & Guilt Free!. It is so hard to find really honest healthy food these days with so many places claiming their food is healthy but really may not be. This little cafe has a variety of delishes breakfasts and lunches with something for everyone. I only drink almond milk and when I saw they had it for my coffee I was sold! The Chickpea burger really is delish! and even though I was absolutely stuffed, I couldn't resist trying something from their selection of sweets. A cute cosy little place, with friendly staff, suitable for vegans, vegetarians and those who need a break from the meat- I will definitley be back!

Yum!. So great to see another little vegetarian place pop up in Adelaide!
Really tasty soup, delicious hot chocolate (with a good choice of milks - I had almond - what a treat!) and good prices. Definitely try it out if you're in the area.

Want something light and healthy to eat whilst you're down at the beach?  Well look no further than this little cafe.  This cafe is tucked inside a side street, away from the busy Jetty Road.  It is not hard to find, right next to a beauty shop.

Conveniently located off of Jetty Road and good food. We enjoyed a quiet breakfast on a Sunday morning. We had the sweet potato and zucchini fritters and the eggs benedict with smoked salmon. My only critique would be that the fritters need a binder as they fell apart as when you cut them. The juices were marvelous and large. We had the raspberry mojito (highly recommend) and the green goddess.

Great food, great coffee. Staff were really friendly and didn’t wait too long for the food. Prices are really really good for what you get. I didn’t eat the Mars slice because I don’t like caramel lol I shouldn’t have ordered it but overall great experience

Had a morning to kill in Glenelg and chose to spend part of it at The Annex Cafe. The menu is very reasonably priced (relative to the other Cafe's in the area) and the staff seem very friendly and welcoming. While, to be honest, the food alone doesn't merit a 5 star rating, the combination of the warm hospitality from the staff, the reasonably priced menu, and the overall homely ambience of the place combined does warrant 5/5 stars. I'd happily come back here again. Some feedback to the owners: Curious that you use salt/pepper satchels, is that a covid thing? Love the book swap idea. I really liked the copper lamps hanging over the large table (I overheard someone discussing plans to paint these white, but I think they look fantastic as is!)

Cute, cosy and off in a side street in always busy Glenelg, it was such a pleasant surprise. Just stopped for coffee, which was good enough to warrant repeat returns, but there were extensive food, cake and pastry options. If you're looking for your "secret hideaway place" this could be it. (Returned today for breakfast and it was perfect. They take serious pride in their coffee too.)

I like that there are tables that are spacious which really suited my reason for catching up with a mate for some map reading lessons. Nice food and coffee and friendly service who are proud in the presentation and food service. Thank you, I enjoyed my visit
