😠 The lugar is beautiful the stuff friendly but the vegan pie is very bad. We got 3 flavors and all was awful. The base of the pie way too thick and stoddy. The flavor curry I reckon that one with jackfruit was sour and doesn't taste like vegan meat or anything good really.The Mexican was really blend...

🫀 A week ago - $8.20 for a toastie - can't eat cooked cheese so it was removed from the one on the platter, without an offer to make a fresh one, especially. Thin wafer half slice of tomato in each half with thin ham slice. Bread was dry toasted and not enjoyable. This is far too expensive for the d...

When ordering pancakes from a cafe with a kitchen (and at $20) I would expect freshly made pancakes. However when my order came it was clear that they were just pikelets bought from the supermarket...
