The Green Canopy - Fitzroy

Amazing new stylistic caffe, great eating, coffee and so a relaxing decor!

This place has the Fitzroy vegan aesthetic down pat with their interior design. More importantly, it has great food that seemed fresh and were tasty. The menu seemed to only have pancakes mainly but they do have some day to day specials.

If you’re looking for a beautiful space to catch up with friends and whilst slowly grazing on vegan food, this place is it (or alone, like me) I have been 2 times now; and my favourite thing I ate was The Meatballs. They don’t come with anything but was suggested to add toast, and it was such a delicious and satisfying meal, perfect for the coming cooler months… it’s right near my uni and so, I look forward to visiting each week.

19/3/22 i have returned for breakfast because I wanted to try the pancakes and I was not disappointed. They looked pretty, tasted nice and were filling. I liked the biscoff crumb with the chocolate, not too sweet either. We sat outside. It was lovely to find a new vegan cafe open. This week it is serving sweets and drinks but will have a full menu from mid next week at this stage. I’d just check Instagram to find their open hours and what they are serving. I asked for a large coffee and the coffee is large! Hooray. We chose to eat in and had a milkshake and a couple of cakes. The cafe is really nice and there are seats inside and outside. I enjoyed all the food and the staff were really nice. Updated from previous review on 2022-01-22

I came here a little hungover on the first day the cafe was serving its full menu. The decor is very not Brunswick street with its fabrics, flowers and muted tones. I think they got busier than expected so initially we thought we’d just get an iced coffee (as it was a stinking hot day), but things quietened down and we were able to order lunch. We went for the spaghetti and meatballs and the Buddha burger. The burger was delicious. I’m not sure whether it was a Beyond patty but it had a lovely nutty taste, whereas normally I find those patties a bit cardboardy. The spaghetti was fine although the sauce was quite thick and maybe the meatballs were a bit too heavy for the state I was in. Normally I’d have made short work of it, even though serving sizes were decent. Luckily, this place is in my neighbourhood, so I’ll be back very soon to try more menu items while in a slightly fresher state. #Veganuary
