We were piteous to expose that our one-time favourite El Chino on St Georges Rd had unopen down. Luckily though, it's been replaced past times an exciting novel house - Tootsie Roller! It's a vego cafe alongside an Indian-inspired breakfast too tiffin menu, Industry Beans java too a gorgeous courtyard out the back. We met upward alongside Steph for a Lord's Day breakfast to travail it out.
The carte is heavy on the savouries too on get-go glance non really vegan friendly. There are lots of Indian-inspired egg dishes: poached eggs alongside jeera potatoes ($17), eggs Darjeeling ($18), eggs on naan ($11) too thence on. There are also breakfast tacos, a smoked tofu burger too a thali plate - thence many first-class looking things to try! We had a quick chat alongside the waiter almost vegan options too were reassured that they're happy to sub tofu inwards to brand most of the egg dishes vegan - this isn't good labelled on the menu, but if you lot inquire they'll come upward through for you.
Cindy kicked things off alongside a chai man child ($5.50), which was gingery too delicious. I enjoyed the java too.
I couldn't resist the Bombay scramble - an Indian spiced scrambled egg dish alongside fried onions, chilli, coriander too spinach on grilled kalonji naan ($15). I added a side of dark beans ($4) because I'm out of control.
This was a superb breakfast - the eggs weren't massively spicy, but at that topographic point was a slap-up depth of flavor from the cumin too chilli (plus perchance garam masala?). The naan was great, too the big pot of beans actually added some heft to things - a fantastic agency to start the day.
Cindy wanted something a fleck to a greater extent than summery, thence she ordered the kokosnoot too rice flour waffles alongside kokosnoot yoghurt, compote, toasted almonds too a big ol' pile of fresh mango too strawberries ($15).
She raved almost this - the ratio of fruit to waffle was specially impressive, but each of the components actually hitting the grade every bit well. Steph seemed happy alongside her smoked tofu breakfast tacos too nosotros had first-class friendly service.
Tootise Roller is a fantastic improver to the neighbourhood - only writing this post service has me wanting to become dorsum tomorrow too travail out to a greater extent than of the menu. The courtyard is specially welcoming during summer. They're licensed, too volition eventually opened upward up for a few nights a calendar week - it's difficult to imagine a ameliorate agency to pass a long summertime level too then eating a smoked tofu burger too having a beer out dorsum - can't wait.

Accessibility: There's a small-scale pace every bit you lot run across too a clear corridor to the counter, but the tables are quite crowded inside. Access to the courtyard (and the toilets) requires negotiating a few uneven steps. We ordered at the tabular array too paid at a depression counter.
