    Swallow Coffee Traders is absolutely worth the visit. Simply the best vegan bacon and egg roll in Sydney (and we think we have tried them all) - the bread was fresh, fried egg was so realistic, especially the yolky part... I had to stop and remind myself it wasn't the real thing! The chicken souvlaki wrap (not pictured) was also amazing - hard to not inhale it all in a minute. The Ice Chocolate drink was dam good... ice cream, whipped cream - the real deal! And Green Goodness fruit juice was just what I needed on a warm spring day. Thanks SCT for making our visit so enjoyable. We will be back!

    I ordered a burger and chips for delivery. It was absolute perfection. It was well packed, it arrived very fresh and both burger and chips were delicious. Congrats on going vegan, the food is perfect.

    This is one of the top vegan cafes in Sydney without a doubt. The only thing better than the food is the service. The owners and staff are friendly and professional, and the food is delicious and great value. Do yourself a favour and try it already

    An amazing plant based cafe! There is a wide range of plant based options filled with delicious sauces. The customer service is top notch and I love the family friendly ambience. Nothing better than the sun shining on your face on a winter’s day and sipping a smooth coffee!

    Such a lovely place right next to the station with great coffee, plant-based options of food, and very friendly customer service. A small selection of plant based products is a bonus too

    Discovering Swallow Traders has been an absolute delight for any coffee enthusiast. The Micro-Lot coffee by Diana Nolasco from San Ignacio, Cajamarca, Peru, is a testament to their commitment to quality and uniqueness. The 90 hours of anaerobic natural processing is evident in the cup's complex flavor profile, boasting notes of dried cherry, fresh kiwi, dark chocolate, and a hint of mint. Each sip scores well beyond its 84.5 points, taking you on an exquisite journey through the terrains of flavor filled with wonder. It's clear that Swallow Traders not only sources the best beans but also expertly brings out their best characteristics. Highly recommend for those seeking an exceptional coffee experience!

    100% recommended! The bacon and egg roll with Avo is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Not only is it fantastic food it’s also affordable and the vibe is so nice! #plantbased

    These guys make the most delicious vegan food, totally affordable as well and generous serving sizes too! Really lovely staff! Only thing is that the tables are very close to one another which makes it hard to not overhear other conversations. Other than that, always always happy when I go in for my food!

    This place is amazing, absolutely delicious food that will have you back for more 🤤 love the service & that breakfast burrito is top notch! Can’t wait to work my way through the menu!!

    Just a few steps from Rockdale station this is the perfect place to enjoy a vegan meal at any time. You get excellent value for money with the portions and delicious flavours at the prices they offer. The Spicy Chick Burger has the right amount of heat that you will enjoy even if you are not into spicy food. The McVegan Burger is tasty and very filling. The Protein Breaky Burrito and the Swallow Big Breaky are delicious and satisfying. All of us were impressed with the food and enjoyed the experience. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. We had to wait for a while though for the food to be served.

    Absolutely beautiful cafe with amazing vegan options for the most meat loving people to the most vegan people. Literally everything on their menu is next level delicious, the atmosphere of the cafe is a vibe and the owners are some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Would recommend everyone to come and support them.

    Good to have some plant based cafes in the south of Sydney. Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly 🌱💛

  • 5/5 Serge B. 9 months ago on Google
    A rare gem in every respect, I can't recommend it enough! There weren't many plant-based and vegan options in the area, so I was happy to come across Swallow Traders. Owners are some of the nicest and most customer caring people I've ever met, great service. Big brekky, burritos and vegan burgers were very tasty. Atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. Will be ordering from them many more times to come!

    Love this place - it’s my local go-to brunch place that has the best selection of plant based food and the coffee made with almond milk is the best in the area. Always lovely people making me feel at home and serving up a treat!

  • 5/5 Hannah B. 11 months ago on Google
    literally THE nicest food, coffee and staff in Sydney! The vegan food here is absolutely incredible, I can’t go on about it enough. We make the trip over from Bondi to Rockdale as much as possible because nothing over here in the Eastern Suburbs compares to Swallow!! The owners are seriously the nicest people ever too - I promise you will not be disappointed if you eat here, vegan or not!!!

    Great café all-round! Lovely food, welcoming service, nice vibes inside. Highly recommend the big breakfast - the mushrooms and baked beans are delightfully flavourful.

  • 5/5 Emma P. 10 months ago on Google
    To be honest, this is some of - if not the best plant based food in Sydney. We are constantly SO impressed. We live in the inner west but anytime that we have a free morning, we travel to Swallow as nothing else compares (and we live in Newtown so that should tell you something!). Amazing coffee, phenomenal milkshakes, delicious food that is beautifully plated and well thought out and the kindest and most attentive service from the lovely owners. You really can't go wrong!

    I had a great time getting lunch at this vegan cafe - I ordered the big breakfast. The food was tasty, with ample portion sizes and a variety of sweet and savoury options. The staff were lovely - providing warm, friendly service. The cafe also has a selection of vegan snacks, chocolate treats and condiments for purchase. And they have hot sauce at every table! I’m looking to forward to going back again to try their banana protein hotcakes and their plant based Bacon and Egg roll with avo.
