Wow ... just wow! Was in the area today and called in for lunch. Awesome service and the food was incredible. The flavours in my meal were short of sensational and my business colleague said it was the best smashed avo he had EVER eaten. I had the mushrooms on sour dough, with the poached egg and halloumi. Yum boody yum!
We found this little cafe by chance when staying at the towers right next door. It's easy to access on the elevated level, and has a ramp leading up here too for those who can't take the stairs. The atmosphere is very nice and calm. The colour scheme is fresh and the outdoor seating was beautiful with the trees and quiet roads surrounding us. As soon as I saw there was French Toast on the menu, I was sold. I was not expecting to see what came out to me. I was really pleased with the presentation and the unique take on a French toast. It looked deep fried but was so light and soft and delicious! I've never had a toast like that before. Although a little pricey, I feel it was worth it with all the fresh fruits and ice cream included. Highly recommend this place. I've been telling everyone to try the fun French Toast 🤣
Genuinely the worst $31 I’ve ever spent. First they brought out the meal prepared wrong (Asked for no spicy chilly). They then took it back, remade it & brought it back missing dressing and without the poached egg (that costed an extra $3.5). They brought out the missing poached egg and it was hard boiled. I️ would have rather staved than have the meal they gave me. Service was excellent and our waiter was completely apologetic and handled the situation exactly right. Just terrible kitchen service. Edit for response: On the paper menu, it had chili sauce listed. On the online menu, there was also truffle dressing listed. Also you can see how difference the food is from the reference photo provided in their menu. Just not up to the high standard that it leads to you expect.
Tried this place for brunch for the first time today. In the video is the big breakfast (add buttermilk chicken), avocado toast (add bacon), and a beef ragu to share. Surprisingly, our favourite dish was the beef ragu and would recommend it. Very generous amount of meat to the dish, which is amazing considering most restaurants only serve half the amount. The ragu was great, not too salty and a touch on the sweeter side which I personally prefer. Will be coming back again soon.
Marvellous little Cafe. Ordered the fried chicken eggs benedict and was worried a big guy like myself wouldn't be full, but my God it was a big serve of chicken and some of the best fried chicken I've had in a while. Only just fit the last mouthful in and was very satisfied.
Some interesting dishes and we loved the Woodlands on Toast, nicely executed and great ingredients used. The Green juice was nice too with strong taste of ginger.
The food here is a wonderful flavour explosion. The chef cares so much for the food he prepares and you can taste that. Honestly one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had. Thank you!
Just because this cafe is tucked away doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take a drive here. The food is prepared by a chef, who makes every plate their masterpiece. Many additional flavours were hidden amongst this carefully thought out meal. My husbands plate of food was exactly the same. They curate each meal with precision and perfection. Not to mention the coffee ☕️, it was made by staff who obviously knew what they were doing. Can’t wait to come back. Chef…… we see you 🫶. Thank you for your skills learned and provided.
Staff were rude.. tried to sit at a table and got told off by the staff and forced to sit another table. Would not recommend. Poor food selection as well.
We had a huge group booking last minute and they were so accomodating! We ended up having more friends join and they were so quick to respond and organise more tables which was so great! The food is perfection! A special shout out to Steve and the team!!! I highly recommend a Sunday arvo lunch here
Great place.. friendly service.. nothing was too much and the food tasted good thanks Stean for looking after us..
The food is amazing. New twists on classic dishes with surprising and delicious flavour combinations. Love it!
The best breakfast! We got the scallop chilli scrambled eggs, and the eggs benedict with pulled beef. The flavours of it all was delicious and it looked sooo good! I rank it up with Melbourne brunch spots. Absolute quality and I will come back!
Faultless, ultra delicious food prepared with love. Every ingredient is considered and fresh. Wish Id gotten a photo of it but was too eager to tuck in! The cafe is in a lovely nook, tucked away from the hustle bustle. The service was next level also, with the waiter organising a cafe voucher for me to use later when I decided not to have bread that normally accompanied the dish. Will be treating myself to a meal here on the regular from hereon :)
Good food ,good service and dog friendly
Ordered the Steak Sanga special and the poached eggs on sourdough. Phenomenal, pleasantly surprised as to how flavoursome both were and that bechamel sauce WOW!
Awesome! Service and food are excellent!!! Music is really nice too!!! Food
We enjoyed the Avocado mash, Grown Benedict and the French toast. The avo mash was the stand out! Worth a repeat visit
I ve been here around 3 times and I ve loved it each time! I love a quiet spot with unique dishes and a place where I can take my dog! Tick tick tick! Great things come in threes
This place is a hidden gem. Superb food and great service.
Stoked you have nitrate free bacon, yum! Epic smoothie, wonderful service, very grateful, thankyou
5 star Great service and atmosphere however the breakfast was unfortunately nothing special buffet quality.
first time here, very impressed especially the staff here :) Thank you
It is not anymore vegan place there is a new owner but they willing to accommodate. Many dishes has been lost but what I had was super yummy. Im vegan and vegan options were truly amazing chef was willing to adjust anything and has his own ideas! Unique Meno and flavours! Highly recommended! Food
We were a group of 8 and came here on a Sunday morning hoping for some really good food. We waited for about 55 mins for our order at the table and everything we ordered was average. The menu has changed and seems like the management has also changed. We were not given cutlery with food and this place is definitely not value for money.
Beautiful food and friendly staff. Lamb cooked to perfection followed a lovely scallop starter on my last visit too good to keep secret!
Fantastic - so calm and quiet, great coffee (I had two they were so good) and the French toast was beautifully presented and delicious. Its small but perfectly formed.
Nice place in a newly built area. The service was friendly and the eggs Benedict were ok. However, quite pricey. Not many patrons. At the moment not open in the evening.
Excellent food, service & presentation. Would definitely recommend and will visit again
I had the pleasure of Grown Restaurant hosting my milestone birthday. The chef made, prepared, created and cooked all the gourmet canapes, and the assorted vegetables that complimented the glazed ham and roasted beef cooked to perfection. It was their first hosted event. You know the event was a total success when friends and family are still talking about the evening and the food like the mushroom arancini balls, glazed ham and the much sort after delectable Tiramisu dessert slice. We have family interstate and who were in Brisbane for a few weeks and dined at Grown every opportunity they had. Grown has a lovely ambiance about it. The staff are a credit to Grown. I would recommend Grown to host an event or just come down and indulge in breakfast especially the smashed avocado dish (one of my favorites) or brunch/lunch or dinner Thurs-Sat. The food is prepared by chef(s) that makes every dish a masterpiece infused with flavours that just pop (ingredients sort out locally) A good selection of wines that compliment all the meals and they make a mean cup of coffee too.
Beautiful!! Pork belly is just perfect! And the wagyu was highest quality
Absolutely outstanding food. Blown away. Hidden gem of West End.
I havent been back since you guys went omni. Not a real shame for me, as the food was average at best. It is a shame for the animals and planet, though.
Fantastic intimate restaurant that you should check out. We sat inside and you are right near the kitchen so you can see and hear the food being prepared which gave a really nice atmosphere. Food itself was amazing. We had the sour dough baba ganoush to start followed by the strip loin and barramundi between us. Was exceptional. Highly recommended.
such a lovely experience! instantly greeted by claire who served us throughout the night and made sure we were taken care of like vip s, thank you so much for your service! the chef lachlann is also a master of his craft, making sure every item on the plate is of the highest quality and perfectly placed. i can highly recommend the chicken dish and the cheese board, as both were not only delicious but absolutely gorgeous. the atmosphere was uplifting and yet peaceful, which wrapped up the experience and draped it in gold <3
That was absolutely fantastic! My partner and I were greeted promptly by the lovely Clare who gave us exceptional service the entire night, with excellent recommendations and showing up seemingly right when we were ready! The food crafted by Lachlann was sensational, an artist at work; each dish was immaculately presented with care and attention to detail! Seeing him work had us enraptured with the speed and consistency. I would recommend the cheese platter for your starter and the lamb rump dish for your main! Paired superbly with the cab sav wine from Margaret river! This is an adorable venue with a great atmosphere to make you feel comfortable and relaxed while you enjoy your meal and ingrained conversation! A must visit!
The menu does not correspond to the dishes I received.
Coffee is great, however we had the Brie toasted sandwich and it upset both our stomaches. I can usually eat anything without a problem but not this toastie. Service was excellent but it would want to be for the price, it was very expensive. Food
Really love this place- prime dining spot however reasonably priced
had breaky here this morning and had the tastiest and freshest juices, as well as an incredible breaky. lovely staff and a cute cafe!
Great staff, casual atmosphere with shockingly good breakfast/brunch fair and one of Briabane s top 3 Bloody Mary s!
Ordered banana bread French toast and saltbush hash via UberEats. Both were flat-tasting, with tiny portions, embedded hair, and textural issues not simply attributable to delivery. Ill overlook hair for good food, but potato hash blonder than Trumps dye job is not getting over that very reasonable bar. Even trying to be kind and accounting for the breakfast value tax and a discount code, it was poor value. I left a review to that effect on UberEats and thought that would be the end of it. Instead, I received a passive-aggressive reply, which among other things involved a guilt-tripping for using a discount code, and an accusation of not understanding the realities of running a restaurant. That may have been true at the time, but I have now Grown to understand the importance of running away from this restaurant. Edit: Lets not be disingenuous about intent here. You sent a pissy reply to a well-deserved 4 star review instead of soliciting concrete feedback.
Absolutely love this gorgeous Cafe. Food is always fresh. Staff are professional & friendly. A must do for Sunday Breakfast or brunch. Hoping to one day buy the delicious tomato relish!!!
Nicest brunch I ve had in twelve months. The bacon eggs Benedict was so nice you could have sworn i cooked it myself. Greg Wunya! Bush Food Inspired Products
Amazing brunch, delicate and nice presentation of plates, I felt like I was eating in a fine dining restaurant the mushrooms were absolutely incredible ! I will be back for sure Thank you to the staff who made the experience even better !
Simply terrible. Rude disinterested service while wearing a grubby t shirt. Under cooked gnocchi , wrong orders , lengthy wait. Just not worth it as it wasn t cheap !!! Staff just did not want to be there.
Heads up: This place isn t vegan anymore. The food/coffee is also quite average now
THIS IS NO LONGER A VEGAN RESTAURANT.. has a few options. Just becareful when ordering as I almost ordered beef pasta with animal meat . I ordered pumpkin pasta and was yummy.
My Wife and I had breakfast here this morning and it was unreal! We both had a hard time deciding what to eat as everything on the menu sounded delicious and creative. Our meals were incredible and the serving size was huge. Our coffees were also super tasty. The venue itself is gorgeous and I really liked seeing a spotless, open kitchen. When I walked in the Chef was making some kind of dough which is really cool to see. I have worked in the hospitality industry for well over a decade and its very rare that a Cafe nails food, coffee and service. Grown gets 10/10 for all 3.
Excellent flavours. Presentation was exceptional. Will definitely return.
Amazing food and great service! My fav is the beef ragu Vegan options available, too! The presentation is classy and the ingredients are native Australian, which I love! New hours include dinner, too!
The food was amazing. I watched the chefs preparing the food and they really do pay a LOT of attention in creating and assembling the dishes. So refreshing to see people who love their craft.
Neat little cafe just opposite the usual west end markets area. Went on a Sunday morning (worth booking ahead), we were seated and served super quickly - and splitting the bill was a breeze thanks to their online ordering system. No surcharge for ordering through the QR code either which is a huge plus. Food was great, portions were good value and they didn t rush us out the door either. All you can want from a cafe, Fried chicken eggs benny comes highly recommended! Parking: Parking is typical west end parking, allow 15 minutes more to find one.
Stunning culinary creations using quality ingredients. The freshest barramundi I have ever tasted, cooked to perfection. The subtle use of native flavours adds to the experience. Excellent drinks selection and priced very reasonably, I thoroughly recommend.
Excellent all round for a relaxing Sunday brunch
UPDATE: they changed owners and are a completely different restaurant to the one I went to. NO LONGER VEGAN. We had such a wonderful dinner here at Easter. Grabbed a bunch of friends and fam and ordered the chefs banquet (i.e every item on their dinner menu!). All plant based of course and the dishes are made from local ingredients. I would say Grown offers incredible comfort food- simple dishes with a twist.
Booked a table as we had 6 people. Food was excellent, friendly staff, and great coffee. It started to rain and we were told they could move us if it gets heavier. Thankfully it didnt but it was nice to have the option. Thank you!
Great little cafe with good coffee and beautifully prepared and delicious food. Definitely on the go there again list. Parking was also good considering West End can ve hectic sometimes
This WAS a favourite vegan cafe of mine, until it devastatingly changed to omnivorous menu. Didnt end up staying to eat when I found out, it is really misleading to have kept the same name as the well known vegan joint it once was.
Ordered a croisssant. Waited for 45 minutes. They forgot my order. Massive waste of time!
We were really looking forward to Grown. But after getting there and most of the menu being unavailable we were a bit put off. Our coffees were delivered one every 10 minutes. Which isn t great when you have a table of 6. Then we waited over an hour for our food. The food came out in parts as well. One meal every 15 minutes. To top the meal experience off I got a huge chunk of plastic in my beetroot dip. Don t think much is home made!
This was such a disappointing experience - my 60th birthday celebration with friends was marred by a significantly limited menu the restaurant having run out of many items including salad and bread. The service was very poor with unacceptable wait times for coffee and food! No apology was forthcoming - will not go back !
Not a great dining experience. It was my first time at Grown and as a vegetarian I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately the service was abysmal. It was incredibly slow and there was no acknowledgement of major issues with the food- including a meal that had nuts in it (which was not listed in the ingredients) served to someone with a nut allergy, and plastic found in another dish. Food and coffee were ordinary when they finally arrived after an abnormally long wait. Would not recommend this cafe to others and certainly wont be going back.
Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian! Dietary restrictions: These guys are well prepared for people with gluten or lactose intolerance, and the food is sophisticated and delicious! Parking: Easy parking on the street, free on weekends, cheap on weekdays Kid-friendliness: Friendly personnel, special chairs for babies
Closed despite it being mid-morning and no notice on their social media sites. Disappointed as I travelled in especially.
I would like to thank Gloria for going out of her way and opening her restaurant for our girls meet up during their holiday time. All was great, delicious and healthy food, great service, beautiful place to relax and have a good time!
Great service and delicious food!
It took just one visit and Im in love. The most delightful staff and food. Unfortunately, I havent found it open at subsequent times when I have arrived. Story of my life.
Do not visit. Since the change of ownership, this cafe will only go broke. Service is frustratingly slow and what was once the best vegan brunch Cafe/dinner in brisbane, is now a subpar, micro managed, inconsistent vegetarian cafe contributing to animal suffering. Not to mention previous loyal staff and patrons jumped ship to avoid the down fall.
Editing what was once a 5 star review. Management were clearly micro managing staff, food menu was so measly compared what it once was, service was not warm and friendly as it once was and the cafe now serves dairy milk. For what was once my favourite cafe in Brisbane, its really disappointing to see the business being run down. I really hope management take note of these reviews and make some changes!
As the restaurant is now no longer vegan despite keeping the name and branding I have to remove my rating and review to maintain integrity. Giving one star because keeping the name and reviews despite changing everything else is dishonest.
Their ham toastie was really good and everyone was happy with their coffee and chocolate! Both the owner and chef were very nice and friendly too.
Fantastic that the new owners put some meat on the menu. Had a great mothers day.
The new team at Grown provided our group with a wonderful Mothers Day brunch experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff provide exceptional service, the food was unique and absolutely delicious (Australian bush inspired) and I enjoyed the best bloody Mary Ive ever had.. our new favourite spot in town!
Great food great staff
Wow the revamp of this place is 5 star! Amazing, friendly service and the food was all so delicious. A great vibe (and who can say no to a brunch Bellini!). I think this may be our new go to.
Great service and delicious food.
The owner was so lovely and fun he really made our morning. We will be back for the bottomless brunch!
Delicious!
The new owner is so lovely, and the menu is fantastic! If you haven t been here since the new managers took over, you definitely need to give it a try! Absolutely delicious and great service. Food
It was my mothers birthday 80th. The owner and staff couldnt do enough for us. Thanks stean and staff. If I could give you 10 stars I would.
New owners are great. Warm and hospitable team. Food is sooo good and much needed improvement for sure. Love to see blankets again for winter dining :)
Lovely vegan options - very fresh and beautiful flavours!
Unique flavour
Have only just stumbled across this place and absolutely LOVE it! The owner is absolutely onto it and expects the highest quality and standard. The food was out of this world, the chef was so lovely and had one of the cleanest kitchens Ive seen in a while. The menu was probably our favourite part, we had alot of different dietary requirements and it was great to see a place that could cater to veg/vegan without that being the only type of food. Amazing atmosphere and a great place for a brunch!
Had a great meal. The new owners were very nice
I ve been meaning to try grown for a long time and I m so glad I finally got to! Welcoming and friendly customer service the second you walk in. Good pricing. Delicious and fresh food. Great Vegan options. A nice big cup of coffee. An overall great dining experience. I will be back and I highly recommend everyone to try!
We had a great birthday brunch here. Coffee, food fabulous. Staff went way beyond expectations. Will definitely be going back.
Amazing service, excellent coffee! And the food was divine!
The food was great, the staff were very frendly and the service was exceptional. Highly recommended. Food
When you need a Mocha pick up because you are a night shift worker and looking for a gr8 little Cafe near the Brisbane River go to a place called called GROWN... Barrister Veronica brewed me a nice Mocha... youre greeted by Owner Steng with a smile, and Chef Lachlan will lead your nose to one of their seats, to enjoy the morsels he prepares on their menu.
This cafe was wonderful! The chef Lachlann was absolutely fantastic and his food was phenomenal!!! Highly recommended this venue
Amazing brunch! Thank you Chef Lachie for the food. Juice was good also
Everything was amazing. The atmosphere, vibe and food was absolutely to die for. The chef Lachlann cooked everything to perfection and the drinks were amazing as well. Thank you very much for the amazing experience and I will definitely come back xx
This place is amazing! Chef Lachie is awesome, our food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Will definitely be going again! Also all of the staff were so nice and the service was so quick for how busy it was!
The food and service were exceptional, above and beyond. Caters well for kids and dietary restrictions. Thank you Grown for a lovely bday brunch. Looking forward to our next visit.
Warm and welcoming, great staff, delicious food with imagination, and the best coffee in Brisbane. With the river a few minutes away for a walk to leafy Davies Park, what more could you ask for! Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp.
God DAMN thats a tasty vegan burger
Loved this place! Absolutely delicious food, nice ambience and friendly service with a smile Thank you!
Great food and services. Love the butter bean cassoulet.
Yummy all day breakfasts with a nice variety of fresh ingredients all served with friendly service. Well worth stopping in if you re feeling like a healthy meal away from the busy centre of west end.
Was one of the most worst experiences Ive ever had at a cafe service was that terrible took over 45 minutes for my for the meal to come out and they werent busy at all there wasnt given any cutlery took over half an hour to get given some water definitely not going back there again.
Dine in experience was very terribly disappointing! Terrible service, long wait time and multiple mess ups. No staff checking in, even after multiple mess ups with orders and service. We were told to sit anywhere. Tables were dirty and no one came to clear/ clean. We had to ask for own water and cutlery/ go get own because weren t given knives or napkins or water. Food took over half an hour (they weren t busy) then was given the wrong order bacon on vegan meal and had to wait longer. We were given two salts (salt in a pepper shaker, so over salted food). Had to go get own replacements. My second plate was cold and There was also a human hair on it!!! Did not bother telling staff as it didn t seem like they were going to bother much with tending/ fixing things anyway. One of the waitstaff seemed like she was in slow motion in own world and didn t check in or apologise at all for any of the poor service. It also stunk of chemicals from the nail salon next door which further hindered eating experience. It was cold and we re told someone would come out heater on this never happened. Food was ok, experience was not. Will not go back or recommend!
Beautifully balanced dishes in terms of both flavour and presentation. Technicality in each component of the meals. Portion sizes which arent OTT. Stomach and mind satisfied.
5 star dining in a relaxed suburban atmosphere Kid-friendliness: Perfect hash browns by chef Lachlan! My fussy eater kid demands these every time we go. Can t stop eating, so good. Food : 5/5 |
The food and service was amazing. Had the roasted mushroom and my partner had the house gnocchi with a side of potato hash. BEST HASHES I ve ever had. Definitely coming back!
Great vegan restaurant. Try the scrambled eggs. You ll be amazed. They taste like scrambled eggs even tho they re a textured soy. Awesome. Updated review This was a great place to come with the old owners. The new owners are even better betray customer service and an even better menu. Now catering for everyone. I will definitely come back for breakfast. Great job.
Sadly no longer a vegan cafe as under new management. While they have vegan options, they are nothing special.
Coffee was amazing!!
Had an amazing lunch. The big breakfast was oh so yummy and the coffee perfect. Could not fault the service or staff. They did a lovely birthday dessert to die for. Perfect!
So pleased with this space!! Great service, great coffee (we got oat milk) Food delish Will be back for sure Food : 5/5
Friendly service and subtle selected menu.
Amazing brunch.... love how balanced the meals are.. so tasty and homemade
Great vegan food, we keep coming back
One of our favourite vegan place
Really interesting, creative, tasty food and wonderful staff. Would highly recommend the chefs choice banquet. Great value and a hearing directly from the chef about the dishes was a really nice touch!
Wow. The food here is sensational. Amazing flavours, variety of textures. Staff are lovely. Definitely finish the dinner with the dark chocand peach curd canolis. Really memorable food !
Great vegan options. You will not be disappointed. A small place so plan and book.
I got the congee and my partner got the pesto pasta. I have to say I was so surprised. It looked so nice but mine was inedible. All I could task was the raw ginger. I tried adding the chilli pasta they gave me but even that couldnt fix it. Really really sad. One of the waiters was really lovely and had they asked if it was good and swapped it for something else I may have eaten. Now we have to try and find somewhere else for lunch Not many vegan places out there. I really hope they improve the menu because I really want to like it but I couldnt.Its only 2 stars because I like one of the waitresses!
Absolutely incredible food and always made with so much love. I live on the Gold Coast and every time I go to Brisbane, I more than not drop by here for lunch or dinner because I just can t stop myself you can never go wrong.
Best toasties ever!!! And all the staff at Grown are lovely! They were so nice to chat too :)
Absolutely amazing! We came in a group of 5 last night and chose the banquet for $35 each. Everything was delicious and you dont go hungry. The drinks were also so yummy!!! I would go again to try the breakfast menu
Fantastic coffee, awesome meal and wonderful staff. Great way spend an afternoon
Walnut bolognese
Good food you.
Do yourself a favor and visit this amazing plant based restaurant! The service was unmatched. (The lady who served us- long brown hair and glasses was lovely) food is absolutely amazing everything we ordered was full of flavour. Absolutely the best dinner I ve had in a while. Beautiful cosy venue! Highly recommend the chai latte and cannoli for an after dinner treat. Thank you
Amazing experience! Had a birthday celebration dinner here tonight and decided to go with the Chefs Choice Banquet so we could try most of the menu. It was awesome! So great that everything was vegan. We loved every dish. The service was friendly and we ended the lovely meal with trying the awesome desserts. The flan was beautiful and so yum! Thank you everyone at Grown for treating us to such an awesome tastebud experience. We will be back!
Excellent food! The service was really good. The hash brown made by themselves.
Best plant based menu in Brisbane. Must try if you eat meat or dont you will not be disappointed. The service is great too.
Absolutely amazing dinner tonight at Grown - the setting is super intimate and cozy, and you get to see the chefs preparing food through a glass panel. The vegetarian lasagne was incredible, as were the spring greens and empanadas. Words don t do it justice! The chef and waitresses were all super friendly and attentive, stopping by our table to chat and ask for feedback despite it being a full house. Seemed they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our meal. Will be back very soon!
omg the barista there is literally the sweetest person. idk her personally but she was SO SWEET. 10/10 recommended
Totally agree!! Cool, upmarket feel, alternative vegan place with style. Dog friendly, attentive staff, definitely flavoursome and gourmet foods. Limited selection but awesome options, as is wine selections, very yummy. Unpretentious so go as you are. The Chef knows his stuff, the owner is gorgeous earthly and the stuff genuinely seems to want to be there. Love it (BTW I aint even a fully fledged vegetarian or vegan, working up to it nor is my teen, who loved it).
Nice place and food is of a specific style
I had the sesame avocado toast and it was delish! A unique take on a classic dish too. Really nice service and they even provide blankets when it gets a little chilly.
The best! My partner went vegetarian last year and this is one of the places that hell actually suggest we go to for breakfast! The servings are so generous and flavourful, the service is great and the space itself has such a beautiful vibe.
Cute little place tucked away on the ground floor of an apartment building, with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a gas heater and plenty of blankets to make you cosy if there is any cool weather. I visited for breakfast and I found it really interesting to see meals being lovingly prepared in the open kitchen and to learn from the staff how much focus they give to the ingredients they use, which are all plant based. Im vegetarian and usually have a milky flat white, but I found my coffee made with oat milk was a close taste to cows milk. They use Bear Bones coffee which is locally roasted in Fortitude Valley and has a lovely smoothness and plenty of rich flavour. I wasnt very hungry so I chose the sourdough toast with their house made vegemite, which I couldnt go past as I was so curious! It was really good! Its a fascinating recipe based on tahini and a few interesting ingredients. The taste was a great new experience, it wasnt as strong or as salty as vegemite. This place is a good option for couples or small groups and is away from hustle and bustle.
Coffee good, food was really good. Hash browns were lovely. Would visit again.
Good food and coffee
I loved the food. Vegetarian options: Vegan restaurant.
Um this is darn good! Def have the olives, sourdough & tomato, cauliflower pilaf - heck just order every dish.
I had lunch at Grown with my friend today, we tried different dishes and all of them were delicious however the coconut cauliflower OMG is to die for ! We also loved the service and the great and relaxed vibe. This cafe is a hidden gem with great food . We enjoyed our meals so much even though we are not vegan. Delicious!
Lovely cafe with great food and super friendly staff
Delicious! My partner and I loved everything we had. We ll be back for sure
The food was divine, and the staff amazing.
Awesome place
Unfortunately after looking g forward to dining here my experience was lacklustre. Ordered the tofu and mushroom scramble which was unfortunately inedible. It was almost like a whole bottle of cayenne and chilli had landed in the bowl. I was waiting for the waitress to come over and ask if everything g okay or if we wanted more coffee etc. I had no interaction other tables were cleared but not ours after finishing unforgettable I didn t get a chance to complain with out actually going inside to do this. I called her over as we were about leave and told her of the situation. We paid mad she gave me a coffee off my bill! The coffee was good!!! Go figure!!! Very disappointing
Highly recommend. Chef clearly takes a lot of pride in selecting and preparing high quality seasonal produce. We ordered the Congee and avocado on toast, and were very happy. Perfectly seasoned and very intelligent combination of flavours and textures. I love that this cafe really celebrates whole food plant based cuisine and will definitely be back!
Such a shame.. we were looking forward to eating here on our last morning in Brisbane but the wait was so long which was ok, if only the food was not so bland and terrible. Service was non existent, a check up on how things were would have been nice. Unfortunately i wouldnt go back, nor recommend.
Incredible service, amazing food and drinks. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians or even carnivores! Come to here for an amazing experience, make sure to ask for the pink juice; it s a beetroot, lime and apple juice mix whipped up and prepared cold.
Just had the most beautiful dining experience at grown. My partner and I shared a few entrees and the lasagne all of which were exceptional. Our highlight was the beautiful chef taking the time to talk through each meal with such passion. He clearly is a very creative and talented chef. We will definitely be back! Also worth trying the Oreo tiramisu which did not disappoint.
Brilliant food! Brilliant service!
I met a girlfriend for a lunch date and was our first time. Was an amazing experience and food was delicious. Will definately be back and highly reccommend. Was so nice being able to go out and enjoy real food. Thanks guys Food
The iced latte I had here was amazing! I didn t have any sugar or syrup added like I normally would but it was so yummy as is. The cafe gives very chill and peaceful vibe. Had lovely time for myself and will definitely come back :)
No longer vegan. Sad, but wont be returning - its the fall of one of the greats.
Awesome food at great prices combined with lovely staff makes for a rewarding experience
Well, I loved this place it looks and smells clean very nice and quiet location, lovely ambiance, and very good service. We ordered two different items Hash Brown Stack was just perfect, however the Sambal Scrambled Tofu needs a lot work on the recipe and the presentation to level up
Amazing and exciting food
Was really expecting to like this place but it was a huge let down. Had to wait about half an hour for a table, which was fine, except there was empty tables available the entire time. Ended up watching so many people being turned away due to no availability, even though there were available seats. We ordered granola and tofu scramble. The tofu scramble didnt have any flavour and it really clashed with the sesame cashew cheese it was served with. The granola tasted burnt and the custard it was served with was equally not great. Overall the place lacked atmosphere, the server was was too quiet and hard to hear and the food was disappointing.
Good place. Good foods.
We had brunch there and it was AMAZING! The scramble tofu with an almond chai was the most delicious combo!
Fantastic vrgan food, awesome coffee and great service thank you
One of my most favorite vegan places around Brisbane CBD. Best place for a brunch!
Excellent find in West End. Located on a quiet suburban street. We went for dinner and both really enjoyed our meals. We are not vegan, but enjoy vegan food from time to time. The menu was creative and we didnt miss the addition of meat or dairy in any of the dishes. They were delicious!
The food tastes super fresh and the coffee is delicious! I love all the sustainability initiatives that Grown implements also - Brisbane needs more cafes/restaurants like this :)
Good food, good service.
Went for dinner and was impressed with the options. Being all vegan/vego, the dishes didnt leave us wanting more. The lady who served us was lovely and very attentive to our needs and questions.
Wow, all vegan and all absolutely amazing food! They even make their own Vegimite!! The juices where also fanominal!
Amazing food...fantastic service!
Not impressed at all, particularly for breakfast. I really don t know why so many peoole say they enjoy this when the food is actually terrible. I have had much better vegan food than this. For the prices you would expect better quality food. The pasta was soggy and lacking flavour, every meal we ordered came at a temperature that burns tour mouth, many of the portions were extremely small considering the price, and everything really just lacked any kind of pleasing flavour. Soggy, bitter, full of garlic (which is fine but it was literally the only flavour and it wasn t tasty at all). The scrambled tofu is terrible. Tastes like mashed cardboard. I have had much better vegan food. I think they need to get a better chef or something. The place could also really do with açai bowls - that s a vegan staple!
Extremely overrated. They flavours are just all off. I ve been to much better vegan places. Extremely overpriced for the poor quality of cooking.
Best vegan food in Brisbane. Have had brunch and dinner here on several occasions and every time the food is top quality. Customer service is excellent!
Grown is a hidden gem of west end. The food is always top quality and the service is wonderful. Breakfasts are really reasonably priced and the the coffee is always good. The dinner service is a more fine dining style to what other vegan restaurants usually offer. The menu heroes vegetables in new and exciting ways so it always feels like a foodie experience.
Nice place
Grown serves an amazing array of vegan dishes with coffees served with a range of non-dairy milks. We tried an oat cappuccino and a latte, and the oat milk was a perfect substitute for dairy milk. The food was exceptional as well. The mushroom and tofu scramble was delicious! The cashew and sesame spread on the toast was good too. I loved the presentation of the hasbrown dish with the slow roasted tomatoes on the top, and it tasted great as well. The vibe, seating, and service were all excellent at Grown, and well definitely return to try some other dishes.
Very tasty selection of food! Its hidden away and seems to be quiet on the times Ive been.. It would be sad to loose this gem! They make vegan/plant based food even more delicious!
Delicious food and friendly prompt service. Plus great location to take an after breakfast walk by the river.
Lovely little spot
Favourite vegan restaurant in Brisbane. Food is divine (and locally sourced). Staff are knowledgeable and kind. Atmosphere is uniquely Grown. I love how the chefs occasionally bring the meals out to you themselves and explain the meal. Will come back again and again!
Beautiful food.
Love Grown on so many levels. The passionate chefs, the innovative menu, the warm space and plant based ethos! Always visit whenever Im in Brisbane and wish there was this much goodness nearer to my home. Thank you for a wonderful experience each and every time!
Very very good and the food is awesome too! The hash brown was so good! Highly recommended
Food is amazing and the coffee was really good as well!
Amazing food and great coffee! Beautiful place
Excellent!! Food is so good!! And excellent service. Highly recommend :) Thank you
Lovely vegan restaurant
Good Food, Amazing Seats. They are very catering to any needs. We called to serve our seats but otherwise their wasnt much to it. We got a variety of foods and they were all delicious. Definitely recommend it as an amazing Vegan Brunch place.
We went for a brunch on Sunday morning. Staff were very friendly. I had the Housemade hashbrown with sourdough toast brunch and a double shot latte. They tasted so amazing. The hashbrown was really unique and special. My girlfriend had the roasted mushroom and tofu scrambled brunch. I would recommend people to try this cafe and those dishes.
Reviews said it was good. Google says there are open until 9pm on a Saturday - but it seems they didn t want my wife s money at 5.
Not much to say that hasn t already been said. Gorgeous vegan food and coffee. Seating is simple/limited, but an amazing spot for brunch regardless - we ll be back!
The potato rosti err hash browns were perfectly cooked. The concept well thought out and well received but, though I understand its targeted at being really healthy food, it could use just a little more spice, zing, heat, umami or salt to really balance it out. Chilli, lime, Indian or Asian spices and dare I say salt (its on the table) or just something a little more to be special.
Great Food, a little rude Of course, their food is delicious and the house hash browns are sensational. Just make sure you don t accidentally walk in when they re not open . Despite their lights all on, doors open, sign up saying please wait to be seated etc. You just might get a blunt look and a rude NO if you ask if they re open. We loved this place, but without going into too much detail, their rudeness caught us quite off guard. We won t be back.
Best vegan restaurant in West End. Amazing food, so tasty. Really delicious.
I went to this place as I wanted to try a complete vegan meal. When you go into a vegan cafe you don t find milk, that is something i learnt. Apart from that, the food was okay, tofu scramble was okay and lacked flavour. Staff was decent and served well. Quantity could be improved.
Amazing food, lovely staff and nice outdoor seating. Ordered the French toast and it was amazing, would love to go back.
This space is homey and the staff are so lovely and welcoming. We had an excellent run through the menu items and were so happy with our choices. Would highly recommend the empanadas and also polenta chips with dipping sauce, YUM!
Awesome food. Friendly staff
