Always a sweet night out.
Busy, warm, loud. Some words to describe the atmosphere of Eggless. Much of the cafe is covered in decor that presents a warm vibe. Always busy, the cafe is loud and noise really bounces around the tight room. I would not recommend the place for people that enjoy a quiet conversation with others.
Service is great. Since no bookings are taken under a certain number of people (unsure but I believe 8 people), name, phone number, and number of people are taken down upon arrival. Once a table opens up, a server calls to inform you of the opening. With plenty of staff in such a small room, there is always a waiter/waitress nearby. The owner, Ken, is extremely friendly and will often strike a conversation with customers. Be prepared for his warm and welcoming exchange!
With the many visits I have had here, I have never complained about cleanliness. Tables, chairs, cutlery etc are always clean here despite the high traffic that comes through. I can only really fault the toilet out back, which is an old building separate from the cafe. Especially in winter when it's wet, there is no shade to the toilet (despite a short distance). In addition, the ground can be found muddy.
Reasonable price for each dish. Each single serve dish is priced at $11 (+/- $1/2) Very impressed to have the menu change each month. Always interesting to see what is available. Taste-wise, with the exception of a few personal dislikes, every dessert has been top notch.
If you enjoy going out for dessert after dinner, definitely visit Eggless. So long as you don't mind waiting a bit, and loud environments, I would 110% recommend...
Read moreEggless is celebrating 15 years this October and going from strength to strength! The staff here are very fast and efficient, always cleaning and taking orders - but ready to explain anything on the menu . And as its name suggests , everything is eggless. I have been quite a few times , and in the monthly changing dessert menus , there is always a gluten free option or two , so I’m happy . Last night I ordered the chocolate Jaffa mousse with cherry compote and Davidson plum sorbet - the mousse was rich and creamy and the tartness of the cherry compote cut through the rich flavour of the mousse and was balanced by the light sweetness of the sorbet . My friend had the orange coffee tiramisu which she said was heaven . We both ordered the chai latte, and we could smell the spices as soon as they were put down in front of us - the brew was perfect for a chilly winters night . We came around 10:45 pm on a Friday evening and the place was still very busy with people enjoying their desserts and a chat - it’s a perfect place to relax and the noise level really wasn’t that bad - even with all those people. The owner Ken is always very friendly and happy to chat , he obviously loves connecting with his customers. My friend and I both enjoy it here every time we come . And to address the complaints about ordering a dessert each - it is a very common practice amongst dessert restaurants to do this , and they make less than an ordinary restaurant. The love and care that goes into these dishes really shows , so it is definitely worth it . The line out the front of Eggless reflects this . Definitely worth another...
Read moreEggless is a small dessert cafe which is Nestled comfortably and hidden away on Goodwood Road and was established in 2009. It's menu is vegan friendly and changes every season! You'll always find something new, affordable and most importantly delicious. With a great variety of dishes, you will find something for everyone with a great mix of sweet and savory.
You can only make bookings with Eggless if you have around 6 people in your party. otherwise you will be waiting outside. Having said this though, it is well worth the wait.
The staff create a very inviting and friendly atmosphere and engage in great conversation to make you feel comfortable and invited, probably one of the most friendly places I have been too thus far.
Things to remember: You might be waiting 10 - 15 minutes if you go late, but it's well worth it! Vegan friendly and something for everyone. Very cheap! If you don't like waiting, go with more people and make a booking.
Could not recommend this place enough. I'm not a sweet tooth, but I can safely say I'm now a dessert person after...
