The Olive Cafe - NORFOLK ISLAND

They use Bonsoy here, which makes for a delicious coffee. Currently, there’s no option to buy soy milk in any food business on the island, so cafés are the only choice for soy coffee enthusiasts. We ordered the falafel (no cheese), bowls, and the veggie feta salad without feta. Everything was clearly marked as vegan on the menu. The hot chips were tasty, but both the falafel wrap and salad were just okay—not bad if you’re really hungry, though. This is an update to my previous review from May 13, 2021.

They are one of the few restaurants that are open every day. The service is just okay. I ordered a fruit and omelet bowl with coconut yogurt, but it came with regular yogurt and honey on the side, even though I specifically requested coconut yogurt. They should be more mindful of vegan options. They do offer salads and frozen soups that have vegan choices, as well as plant-based milk. The seating includes both indoor and outdoor options, which are quite nice. This review is an update from my previous rating on January 4, 2021.
