❓💬 FAQs
1) Are these cafés fully vegan?
Many are 100% plant‑based (e.g., Kynd Community) or raw‑living focused (Alchemy, Seeds of Life). Others are veg‑forward with plenty of vegan and gluten‑free options (e.g., Shady Shack, Clear Cafe). Always check menus if you’re strict.
2) Do I need to book?
Breakfast and lunch are often walk‑in friendly, but popular spots can queue. Some venues take dinner bookings — handy for bigger groups or peak weeks.
3) Is tap water safe?
Stick to filtered water (most cafés provide it). Bring a reusable bottle; many venues will refill, and you’ll cut single‑use plastic while you’re at it.
