Best allergy, intolerance and beyond delicious cafe in Bendigo! 10 ⭐️ I absolutely hands down recommend this as the best cafe/food delivery eatery in Bendigo! The team offer so many savoury and sweet options on the menu, as well as so many ways to purchase and get your delicious meals to you! Not only do they have their weekly specials and regular favs menu where you can go in store and are always greeted daily by the beautiful, kind and genuine Tam, lovely owner and Masterchef Luke, Luke’s gorgeous mother, and the rest of the fantastic team to pick out your meal for lunch, but they have other options available to get you your meal fix!
They offer options for you to pick out your meals online on a Friday through to closing on a Sunday afternoon for then them to be freshly made and ready for pick up or for them to deliver your meals (must spend over a certain amount) on a Wednesday or Thursday. 😍
The best part is not only all the amazing savoury options, but also the super tasty sweets that Master Luke and his crafty team create every week. 😋 plus there is always something new to try to keep things new and exciting! For someone that has always lived with an extremely severe peanut and tree nut allergy and other food allergies, this is the safest place for allergy or intolerance sufferers to eat in Bendigo. I have no hesitations or worries about eating here and since Crooked opened I’ve felt safe and absolutely no judgement eating here. They also offer options for Home Care Packages and the NDIS, making it an accessible option for everyone!
I personally would eat Crooked Meals every single meal! I love the taste, variety and the depth and amount of flavour to every meal. It is just beyond sensational. If you haven’t tried Crooked Kitchen before or are looking for a regular location to order your meals for the week, give them a try!
They also offer catering and Friday night meals at The Chambers Wine & Bar in Eaglehawk for those after a fancy night out with hands down the best tasty eats, the team just continue to go all out and never disappoint. 🤵♀️🤵♂️
My favs are the tasty vegan curries and the irresistible Brookies! Thanks Luke and team for making people with allergies feel safe to be able to enjoy a delicious meal that’s been made by the best cafe in town! Plus all of the care, heart and soul you put into your business, it does not go unrecognised. Customer for...
Read moreSmall & cosy venue nestled in the cafe district of Bendigo. Vibe is great and the lady who served my partner (they/them) and I was very welcoming. We arrived near closing so I didn't expect much on offer though it was my first visit here. We ordered some decently sized small salads, the cauliflower and chickpea as well the greeky grains. First off the cauliflower salad was delightful, couldn't have asked for a more well balanced meal. The greeky grains or what I'll refer to as the dry raw quinoa crumble was dismal. I would have assumed it came with a dressing, maybe it did but shafted on that serve. The olives were a nice addition, and though I'm not the biggest fan of raw cucumber.. there was simply more cucumber than there was me to stomach. I'd decently go back and try more of the menu, the specials board seems interesting and their vegan lasagna looked great. Maybe with some food for thought, the grains could be spiced up a little. Also got a rewards card which was...
Read moreThis review is for the new Crooked Kitchen sit-in cafe but I couldn't find where to do the review for it. VERY pleased to have eaten there and had a very pleasant brewed chai as well. VERY surprisingly the chai was done the proper way and they did as I requested which was to make the almond milk SCALDING hot. Very accommodating and pleasant couple who own it. The food was very nice too. I had the chicken and leek pie which came with a very nice parmesan, pear and rocket salad and chips. Thank you for not putting on masses of chips which I think is wasteful. I would like a little aioli for the chips so next time I will ask if that is possible. I really love the restaurant interior. I had such a pleasant and relaxing lunch that I will indeed be...
