About

This quirky cafe-bar pairs a substantial plant-based menu—including vegan breakfast, tofu katsu curry and banana-blossom “fish” and chips—with cocktails and bar games like ping-pong, pool and Pac-Man. It’s especially suited to brunch or drinks with friends, though reviews report uneven food and slow service, and one guest described a serious mix-up involving a dessert labeled vegan.
