Vasse Bakery — Restaurant in Western Australia

As a long-time vegetarian, I was genuinely shocked and upset by my experience at Vasse Bakery. I came in hoping to enjoy a simple vegetarian pie and chose the potato pie, as there was absolutely nothing on the label or signage indicating it contained meat. There were a few options like mushroom, jalapeño & cheese — none of which mentioned meat — so I made what I thought was a safe choice.

Unfortunately, as soon as I took a bite outside, I realized the pie was filled with beef. It was incredibly upsetting to unknowingly eat meat after years of being vegetarian.

I calmly explained that clearer labeling is important, especially for dietary and ethical reasons.

What really hurt, though, was what happened next.

I don't eat either of those pies and the pasty was that bad went to the...

Edit: As of writing the review they have now taken the dine in menu away, which is a bit of a disappointment, but all the other food is just as good.

This is my local go to cafe, service is always amazing, the new addition of the dine in menu is a winner, the Eggs Benedict Croissant was an instant favourite. Never had a bad coffee from here and the selection of take away food is always fresh...
