Joyve Vegan Cafe

Nestled in the heart of Auckland City Centre is a dining destination that’s forever changing the way vegans dine out; where dishes such as miso soup, dumplings and fried rice come with a plethora of wholesome vegan produce.

The inspiration is Chinese, and the team at Joyve Vegan Café have fully leaned in to bring the far-East to your prescience with their excellent array of dishes. It is equally as mouth-watering as traditional Chinese cuisine with all the same aromas, colours and mouthfuls. In their main menu, you will find staples such as dumplings and noodle soups. For starters, the seaweed salad or fungus, which are believed to boost the immune system, will get your taste buds excited for the next course.

Where noodles are concerned, the menu reads like an epic of Asian eats. So, you're already off to a good start if you order the house special of curry laksa. Unlike laksas you might have tasted before, this one doesn't let you down on flavour or make your insides feel lardy for weeks afterwards. A steaming bowlful is topped with vermicelli, rice noodles, and a veggie protein that's been marinated in soy and ginger (just remember to slurp up the broth; it’s proper good).

It’s safe to say that the guys at Joyve Café probably invented the smiley face. With its upbeat service and bold vegan dishes, it's difficult not to be charmed by Joyve. Save a hot date for this cool cat
