Duo Cafe is a charming little cafe located on main Street. It's attached and owned by the same people as Tide and Boar. I love the rustic modern look with the brick wall and interesting artwork. I also love their window art with plants and cactuses.
The two girls working were very sweet and what I thought was helpful. I asked what was vegan and she told me "the soups I'd 100 percent vegan but the curry mango jackfruit was vegan but the bun was not." Which really confused me since on their board it said "feat. Vegan" so I asked her why it would be under featured vegan if the bun was not. She responded "don't even get me started, I keep telling them they shouldn't do that." So of course this really confused me and annoyed me.
I ended up just ordering two soy chai lattes (one with coffee, the other without). The latte itself wasn't very flavourful, the barista told me to bring it back over if it wasn't sweet enough. I did that but still found it bland. Also it was quite watery versus other lattes I have had.
When I left I wrote on the local vegan group on Facebook with my concerns. One man was really upset so he wrote Duo Cafe where they ensured that the buns were indeed vegan. So I guess my main thing now is, they need some training by the sounds of it.
Sadly, I can't say I will ever go back from my experience. Seems they need to make sure staff understands what's vegan. read more
