Cosset

Cosset is a vegan café paradise. All the food is vegan, nothing on the menu is out of bounds. There is a good selection of healthy meals and sinful treats to choose from. I particularly like how there is a choice between small snack sized meals and larger meals.

On a recent visit I ordered a small mushroom filo for only a few dollars. It arrived with a mini salad and separate sauce, and tasted delicious. The soup with multi grained bread I can also personally recommend. My young daughter loves the treats: melting moments and various tempting fancy biscuits. We found the pancakes with maple syrup big enough to fill us both. And of course there are cakes. Beverages include smoothies and coffees. The water is free.

Whenever I’ve visited Cosset at lunchtime it’s been full but I managed to finds a seat. The staff are always pleasant, including to children. There’s not a lot of pram room, but enough for one or two. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed. I love the ladylike mismatched china and the effort put into the presentation of the food and the décor.

Cosset support local artists, displaying their work. The café alone is a visual feast. Recently they held a poetry evening. Some vegans are critical of Cosset for having cows milk on the premises for those who prefer it in their coffee. Cosset is at 1087 New North Road and is open every day except Tuesday. From the 1st of November the are open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 7am – 5pm and Sunday 8am – 6pm. The food is fresh and the staff are friendly so do go and check them out!
