fundies wholefood cafe

a great spot to meet your vegan/veggo friends for lunch. the vibe is laid back and a bit hippy. a paddo institution and so glad it's still thriving after all these years.

i won't rave about the coffee, i usually have tea when i go, feels healthier.

just amazing! the food is the best quality, tastes amazing and they have great sized meals. i recommend the scrambled tofu which is to die for and so full of flavour. the pancakes with caramel sauce and banana is a huge hit with the kids. the chai in a bowl is also a must. cannot reccomend fundies enough!

always delicious, wide selection, perfect for vegetarians and vegans. service is 10/10 every time.

wine to explore this cafe via the entrance from the side of supermarket, where they supply lots of healthy food. walked in the cafe and was greeted by the friendly staff. after i was told that they are no longer serving breakfast menu then i changed my mind to order a slice of banana bread and a flat white.
maybe what they serve is organic coffee, it seems the strength is slight down for my palate. having said that the toasted banana bread delivers a strong taste of banana and soft and mellow texture. i have missed such nice one for a while. love it!

we spent many a sunday brunches here, especially while i was pregnant. the food is honestly delicious, love the big breaky, the beans are so hearty and the scrambled tofu is so delicious and full of flavour. the smoothies are nice, but they don’t do fresh juices sadly anymore. hot drinks are just ok.

what really disappointed us was that we had assumed that the food is all organic - it is not. now that we have a baby, we don’t go anymore, as he only eats organic.

had the vegan big breakie and every mouthful was amazing. the scrambled tofu was surprisingly full of flavour and not bland, even the beans had a nice balance of tomato mixed through. got me filled up and ready to start my day... after a much needed nap

by far my favourite breakfast place in brisbane.
me and my partner are both vegetarian and this place really delivers.
they have amazing coffee, juices and smoothies.
the breakfast portions are huge at a awesome price high they use high quality produce.
another plus is they have counter service no fuss order and pay , enjoy your meal
and leave without having to stress about one bill per table.

great spot, easy place to get new and exciting ingredients and enjoy a nice coffee. the breakfast menu is exactly what you want with the smoked salmon dish being my personal favourite. vegan and vegetarian catered for really well, staff in both the market and cafe have great knowledge about the range of products and dishes that they serve.

today i decided to go to paddington for breakfast and thought this place would be a good option.

my partner had a scrambled tofu on sourdough and i had the vegan lentil pie from the byron bay pie company with a hot beverage.

the scrambled tofu was a huge serve and perfectly seasoned we both enjoyed it until the last bite, the sourdough was also fresh and perfectly toasted. would rate it a 4.5 out of 5.

the lentil pie was pleasant but nothing extraordinary, with a few pieces of tofu and other veggies with curried lentil, the crust was crunchy and it had been a long time since i've had a pie so i was definitely happy. would rate it a 4 out of 5.

overall i loved this place and was really happy with the healthy store which is located in the same shop and it will definitely be one of my to go places when looking for something around paddington.

had the vegan big breakfast and it was amazing!! also tried one of the raw treats and was very impressed.. definitely coming back despite the 22 minute drive!

awesome place. good quality food if you're into vego places. the service is a bit slow and leisurely for my liking. could do with more outdoor seating like the place next door!

this place is a consistently good spot for breakfast. the service here is friendly and efficient and the food is really cheap considering breakfasts are now around the $20 mark. i would recommend getting the make your own breakfast; i usually just get either avocado or scrambled eggs on toast and either a juice or a coffee and walk away with change from $15. one of my favourite spots in brisbane to eat breakfast and i really enjoy sitting outside and people watch while i eat. i have been coming here frequently for the last six or years and have no plans to change that.

fundies is consistently great. delicious flavours, never boring and the specials always a good choice. really love their truffle egg special in particular.

i never get tired of fundies. the food here is delicious. i had a really yummy chocolate brownie today that was presented beautifully with yoghurt, berry coulis and lavender flowers.

we had lunch at fundies today and we're delighted with the food. we all ordered from the breakfast menu which is available until 2pm. my swiss mushrooms were huge and full of flavour. they were accompanied by a generous serving of perfectly wilted spinach (other places take note: no oil or water required), perfectly cooked haloumi and delicious sourdough bread that was lightly toasted. the only minor issue is that i ordered a chocolate black tea after my meal and they gave me a vanilla tea instead. i was slightly disappointed as i wanted to try the chocolate but it was still nice. we chilled for a while browsing the magazines and newspapers provided - a perfect lazy saturday afternoon. 5 stars!

a brilliant place for breakfast or lunch. the food is fresh, wholesome and also tasty. the service is friendly and efficient. the coffee is good and the babycino is free. i love the "design your own" breakfast available until 2pm at the weekend. the haloumi in ours was cooked to perfection. but, get there early. it does get busy.

healthy and delicious !!! bircher muesli is out of this word!! but everything i've tired is amazing. great coffee and friendly staff. doesn't look exciting from the outside but definitely one of the best cafes on the paddington strip!
