Joy Beans - Burleigh Waters

One of the cheapest places in this area and the food was so fresh, tasty and just the right size. Also has GF options.

We had no coffee so I can't comment on it. The food was okay. Only 2 vegan options. For a vegetarian cafe I expected to be able to veganize more items (for example no cheese or eggs), but it looked like the breads and breads contained milk. I tried to order the full bowl, but they did not have a lot of needed items, so the lady kindly made me a vegan bowl of roasted sweet potatoes and vegetables. It was nice, but nothing exciting. My partner had the Acai dish, which was also beautiful. A beautiful small place and perfect if you are vegetarian or branch into vegetarianism/veganism. Probably not the place to go when you are vegan. Updated by previous review on 2021-12-14

Great coffee and staff. Various variations of cold brew are a must try

I cannot comment on the coffee as we did not have any, but the food was satisfactory. There were only two vegan options available, which was disappointing for a vegetarian cafe. I had hoped to be able to veganize more items by removing cheese or eggs, but it seemed that the breads and buns contained milk. I attempted to order the abundance bowl, but many of the required ingredients were unavailable. The staff kindly made me a vegan bowl with roasted sweet potato and veggies instead. It was decent, but nothing out of the ordinary. My partner enjoyed the acai bowl. This is a nice spot, especially for vegetarians or those exploring vegetarianism/veganism, but may not be the best choice for strict vegans.

We did not have any coffee, so I cannot provide feedback on that. The food was okay. There were only two vegan options available. I was expecting more veganized items in a vegetarian cafe, such as dishes without cheese or eggs, but it seemed like the bread and rolls contained milk. I tried to order a full bowl, but they were missing many of the necessary ingredients. The staff kindly made me a vegan bowl with roasted sweet potato instead. It was nice, but not particularly exciting. My partner had the acai bowl, which was also nice. The restaurant is a lovely little place and is perfect for vegetarians or those transitioning into a vegetarian/vegan diet. However, it may not be the best choice for strict vegans.
