West End’s cafe scene is one joint healthier with the recent opening of Cinnamon & Co, now serving vegan brunch and dinner.
The latest addition to West End vegan joints, Cinnamon & Co is the brick-and-mortar version of Wild Spice Kitchen, a food truck parked next to Paper Moon cafe that serves up vegan brunch.
Taking its cue from its successful food truck venture, owner Tasia Amber, decided that it was time for a spin-off. Their brand new cafe in West End opened in January 2022 and it boasts of two-level dining space.
The street-level space features timber flooring, terracotta and white walls whilst downstairs, customers will be greeted with a relaxed ambience complete with tables, armchairs, and couches.
The stellar brunch menu will still feature some of the popular dishes of Wild Spice Kitchen including the herbed and cheezy tofu scramble served with warm croissant, balsamic tomatoes, a pair of hashbrowns and confit garlic aioli; and Mac ‘n’ Cheese with the sauce prepared using cashew, onions, potato, and nooch.
Other options include Fungi Party Burger (sesame brioche bun stacked with mushroom patty, onion jam, cheese, truffle aioli, avocado and rocket) and Teressa (quesadilla packed with spicy buffalo chickpeas, vegan mince and melty cheez then served with roast sweet potato, chipotle aioli and housemade pickles
If you decide to drop by for dinner, their entree offering includes Sexy Tofu which is crispy fried tofu sous-vide in hoisin and ginger served with a zesty dippin’ sauce; and Snackadilla or crispy tortilla with buffalo chickpeas, melty cheez, and cumin mince.
For the mains, options include a warm salad of marinated tofu with avocado, crunchy chickpeas, orange, celery and leafy green with curried aioli dressing; and cheez burger made with sweet potato and black bean patty, cheez, mustard, tomato, dill pickles and aioli on a sesame brioche bun.
Serving of coffee is made courtesy of Coffee Supreme AU plus alternatives including tea, HRVST juice and Luv Maté (Yerba Maté, raw cacao, maca root, and guarana). Sweet treats such as brownie, peanut butter oatmeal, and caramel macadamia are on offer too
