Nectar - Whangarei

There weren't a lot of vegan options available but they were delicious, filling and healthy! The staff was very friendly and the coffee amazing! The place is cosy and comfortable.

I didn't have a drink here because I was worried it might be so amazing that I wouldn't be able to enjoy regular drinks anymore. I did try the nachos, though.

There are only a few vegan choices at this restaurant, but I enjoyed a delicious and filling bowl of Quinoa Porridge with coconut and fresh fruit from the breakfast menu. The coffee was also quite good. I definitely plan on returning.

The restaurant offers a limited menu with approximately five vegan smoothie options (one containing honey). I tried the banana and nut smoothie which was delicious, tasting like a liquid version of banana bread. The staff was exceptional - I accidentally left some items behind and when I returned the next day they had taken care of them for me.

I didn't end up trying a drink at this place because I was afraid it would be so amazing that I would never enjoy regular drinks again. However, I did try the nachos.
