    Love our new local. Lovely and friendly service- always. Good atmosphere and great coffees (best we've had if I'm honest). I highly recommend their almond lattes. They also now offer cows milk for those who don't like the taste of plant based. Keen to eat here once restrictions are lifted. Food looks delightful (even for the non vegans), great presentation, good servings and plenty if gluten free options and great prices. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    One for the Crow is my go to vegan cafe. The menu has great options the coffee is amazing and the sweets are delicious. The staff are super friendly and always welcoming. My favourite dish is the chilli scramble. My son loves the Korean burger and my daughter who is anaphylactic loves the mushroom medley. The staff are aware of my daughters allergy and I’ve always felt the chef takes extra care to make sure there are no peanuts in any of our meals. I highly recommend to check out this full of goodness vegan cafe if you haven’t yet 🌱

    A lovely little spot in Maidstone. Gluten free and vegetarian options available. We ordered two mains, a pie, a ham and cheese croissant, some chips and iced chai latte = $90! 😬

    Hidden away amongst many residential properties this place has Many great options to choose from, this place has more of a fun take out food kinda vibe then what you would expect from a vegan cafe Friendly staff and a over all beautiful space and a great place to come for a cheeky bite to eat while making mindful choices

    Delicious food and lovely staff. Great vegan cafe that serves a variety of options and easy take away food. I have only had the sandwiches so far and they have been amazing. The iced coffee in particular was amazing and I need to know what brand that ice cream was! Can't wait to come back and try some more of the menu.

    My favourite place to eat in Melbourne - I was visiting for 10 days and ate here for 5 of them. If that's not testimony to the quality I'm not sure what is! Kind staff, incredible food, please visit

    Heard a lot about this Plant Based Cafe and I must say I was not disappointed. Loved the sunny side up Vegan Egg. Many claim to make good ones but these guys delivered what others just talk about. Definitely will visit them again.

    One for the Crow is a pet friendly cafe that offers a range of scrumptious vegan food. I ordered a Fried Chick’n Sandwich and Iced Oat Milk Chai Latte. The sandwich was crispy and absolutely delicious. The service was polite and quick. Definitely one of my favourite cafés.

    Love so much of their food, the standouts being the chikn sandwich, and lamb open bowl, with an amazing tzatziki with fresh dill and garlic, omg it's SO GOOD. The staff, one in particular with the moustache, was SO NICE and friendly, he gave us extra tzatziki which I really appreciated.

    Though I was sceptical before arriving at this plant-based cafe, I was pleasantly surprised with the food. I ordered the Mushroom Medley and it was absolutely delicious. The delightful combination of sautéed and fried mushrooms, with rocket and avocado - Yum! Yum! Yum! Their coffee is respectable too. The customer service was below par. The service staff were noticeably cold when we arrived. Eventually one began to smile and engage with my toddler, and we too were bestowed a smile. Unfortunately, the other staff member did not communicate with us at all, though seemed perfectly friendly to other, perhaps regular, customers.

    It’s a hidden gem and definitely deserve a review. Met a friend here, the food was really good. Also ordered chai latte and it was prefect, would definitely go back just for that.

    Superb coffee! Popped in for a almond milk latte. I thought for sure i'd need a sugar or two, but it was simply delicious as is & the perfect temperature. I haven't had one this good in years. The tables outside were very clean & not sticky. Quite friendly staff also. I really should make this place my regular café, as it's only a few minutes walk away from my place. I normally just make it at home myself. But I'll pop over here more often now, knowing how good their coffee is. Two thumbs up.

    Stumbled upon this place while looking for brunch places and not realising it was a plant based cafe ! 🌭🌱 SAUSAGE ROLL 🌱🌭 This was a delectable sausage roll, if you gave me this telling me that it had no meat I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference ! The pastry was very nice and crispy. 🐑🌱 LAMB OPEN BOWL 🌱🐑 Very pleasantly surprised that this really did remind me of lamb, the flavour/seasoning utilised for the lamb definitely reminded me of lamb. Overall would come back here or recommend this cafe to a friend if they were vegetarian/vegan as this place offers 100% plant based food. The staff were very friendly ( ´ ▽ ` )

  • 5/5 Michael 2 years ago on Google
    ✩ Very glad that a plant-based cafe has opened up in the West ✩ Ordered the Fried 'Chick'n Sandwich' ($15) with fries ($4) and a Berry Smoothie ($9). Food was delicious, fresh and brought out quickly ✩ Looking forward to dining in once lockdown ends (space looked beautifully furnished) ✩ Friendly and welcoming staff

    Wonderful Cafe to have our first meal out of lockdown! Thanks for being open guys!

  • 5/5 georgia m. 1 year ago on Google
    Best vegan cafe! One for the crow is a definite favourite of mine. The chilli tofu scramble is incredible and so is the waffles. Also one of the best vegan milkshakes I’ve had. It’s tucked away in residential streets so it lovely and quite. 10/10

  • 5/5 Jane O. 1 year ago on Google
    So amazing! Love the coffee, love the food, love love the people 🖤 Our favourite go too café. Even when I'm sick at home they bring the crow love to me

    I might be a bit biased cos the lovely PT works here but my 1st taste of this place was excellent. The mushroom medley was great

  • 5/5 Zoe H. 3 years ago on Google
    So many delicious options on the menu it was hard to choose what to have! Will definitely be back to try them all.

  • 5/5 L L. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice little place with a buzzing atmosphere. Great value for money, friendly staff and the food is decent. We will need to try more from their menu soon!

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m not vegan. But this place is brilliant. Favourite order= peanut butter & cocoa smoothie with added protein & shot of coffee YUM! Also the banana blueberry muffins are a winner choice. Meals wise, you can’t go wrong with the nachos. Can’t believe they’re vegan. Oh and the staff are brilliant too.

  • 5/5 Julia J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cafe! Food is fabulous and weekend specials are a tasty surprise. Some of my regular menu favourites are the burger, chilli tofu scramble and the waffles. Staff are friendly and helpful. The venue is light filled inside with some outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Ronnie T. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this local cafe! Friendly staff - especially Liv- and great coffee at a great price. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Jenny T. 9 months ago on Google
    Got the chickn satay bowl takeaway and the peanut sauce was amazing !! Chicken was nice and crispy. Wish there was more salad and it was nice and refreshing contrast against the deep fried chicken.

  • 5/5 O M. 10 months ago on Google
    A very friendly highly recommended place to have some good time!. The spinach pie is a must try!.

  • 5/5 Charleen E. 10 months ago on Google
    Our new favourite vegan cafe in Melbourne! Loved the food, the atmosphere and the service. Fair prices as well :) Such a great spot!

  • 5/5 Nev 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food. It's vegan but if you ignore that you can still enjoy a delicious brunch. The chilli scramble and the Korean chicken burger are both excellent. It gets busy so tables can sometimes be in short supply. Indoor and outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Sara L. 1 year ago on Google
    A great find. The food here is delicious and servings are plentiful. I took 2 newly vegetarians and they were highly impressed with the flavours and textures of the mock meat used. The hero dish was the chilli tofu scramble. Yum!

  • 4/5 Sree 1 year ago on Google
    A place for great coffee. Food options, yet to stop by for food once. Great staff who are very friendly and inviting. Overall, the cafe has a relaxed vibe, with some plants and cool artwork on the walls. The coffee prices are slightly higher compared to the cafes in this area, but that shouldn't stop me from going to this place, considering all the other positives. I will definitely stop by to try out the food options :)

  • 5/5 Manuella R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic vegan café! From mind blowing vegan sunny eggs to korean chickn burger, to satay bowl, fritters and pastries! Oh, and the best baristas in the inner west. We go there multiple times a week. Highly recommend! 👌🫶

  • 5/5 Hari A. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Vegan food in town. Absolutely love their Satay Chicken Bowl and the Korean Chicken Burger. One place where the change of owners haven't affected the quality of the food (only if it got better). Good luck guys. Keep it up.

  • 5/5 Fraser J. 3 years ago on Google
    A hidden little gem, the food delicious. Will definately be coming back.
