Vegan-friendly KwaZulu Natal Restaurants >
Earthmother Cafe
The Earthmother Cafe is set in the garden at the back of their shop property. Parents are able to relax beneath the shade of pigeonwood and tibouchina trees, while the kids divide their time either playing in the sand box, watching the fish in the small pond or playing with toys on picnic blankets and cushions.
There are a wide range of breakfasts and lunches available. While some of the dishes include cheese, this can easily substituted with other ingredients. Such an example is their Mild Mexican: black beans, marinated with a touch of chilli and served with herbs, greens and cherry tomatoes. All their smoothies are dairy-free.
Open breakfast and lunch-time only.

They have a lot of nice vegan options. The coffee is exceptional and the raw chocolate tart - to die for! The staff's not half bad either. ;) A favourite spot! I go here nearly every day for lunch. It is a wonderful place, the food is amazing and very healthy, also very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and always very helpful to explain the various different items to non-vegetarians.
