Visited 3 May 2024. Breakfast. OMG! Everything was AMAZING. I've followed Vitality Kitchen on FB for years (from The Nourished Eatery days) and I've always wanted to try all the food but living in Australia and visiting home for 1 week a year I never got the time until now, and I wish I had gone sooner! We drove from Rotorua and got there around 10.30 am and were seated right away (there was 4 adults, 1 child and 1 infant 3 vegans, 1 vegetarian, 2 omnis) We ordered: Creamy Mushroom on Toast OMG. Delicious!! Wish we could make this at home. Best creamy mushroom we've ever had. Scrambled Tofu AMAZING! I've never had scrambled tofu cooked the way this one was. It was amazing and my favourite dish. Almond Cappuccino very nice. Sweet Chai Oat Mylk delicious. Choc Chunk Cookie delicious. My son would only eat this while we were there. Chocolate brownie WOW! This is VERY chocolatey and I LOVE chocolate so I LOVED this. So so so delicious. Raspberry Custard Donut (I think that's right) but this was also so delicious. WOW. I've been craving a good donut for weeks and this hit the spot. The vegetarian ordered avo on toast, she loved it and cleared the plate. Also got a hot chocolate which she said is the best hot chocolate she's had! The omnis both got the creamy mushroom and really enjoyed it, haven't converted them but definitely makes them think twice about vegan food and how it isn't boring. There was sooo much food in the cabinet too so we will definitely be back before we go back to Australia. Thanks so much for creating awesome plant based food!

And the only fully plant based place around here it seems. Regardless, fantastic fare. Had the scrambled tofu, tried my partner's creamy mushrooms, and apple crumble for dessert with what must have been coconut whipped cream, everything was delicious! The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, we're only sad that we're just passing through the area and won't get a chance to come back. But we did get some takeaway treats from the cabinet!

This place was hands down the best vegan place I have been to so far in my vegan journey. I’m from out of town but wish they had Vitality kitchen where I live cause I would visit it daily if I could. I had the tofu scramble the first day then the next day the creamy mushrooms on toast, and apple and berry crumble and took away with me the sausage roll and ginger loaf. Well done Vitality Kitchen

I had the scrambled tofu, a coffee, and a cake—the ginger slice. Highly recommend everything. There is a lot of choice, great, friendly service. And fantastic coffee—it is so hard to find a great vegan coffee in smaller towns. Highly recommend.
