Bamboo cafe in North Bondi makes me think of San Fransciso. It’s something to do with the friendly organic vegetarian cafe, wih yoga retreat sidline, perched on a sharply sloping street vibe.*
We went to Bamboo last weekend because I wanted to know whether a vegetarian cafe had a good range of vegan brekkie options, or if they went with the standard cafe fare of eggs, milks and cheese.

The range was better than your average cafe - there were some exclusively vegan dishes, and they made an effort to use soy milk. However, I think yum cha makes a better vegan brunch in Sydney.
Andy had the big breakfast of toast, baked potato chips, egg, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms and baked beans.

Yes, that is more than he can manage.
I had the toast and trimmings (hummus, olive tapenade, tomato and avocado).

The baby spinach leaves came in a walnut oil dressing. So my new favourite ingredient.

Overall, the standard of food was good (the olive tapenade was my other highlight) but the organic food made breakfast an expensive affair.

I won’t be making the trek to Bamboo every weekend, but a lovely place for a slow, quiet start to your day.

*I’ve never been to San Franciso so the comparison could be bollocks.
