Just moved to Dunedin from Wellington and stumbled upon this treasure! I had to write a review. This cafe is without a doubt New Zealand’s finest vegan eatery. Those of an omnivorous bent will also enjoy the delicious cuisine on offer. They have an outstanding selection of fresh juices, coffees, chai, smoothies, a large array of biscuits, cakes & fudges, a buffet table, pizza, savoury scones, curries, salads, pasta, samosas, wraps, sandwiches. 99% of the food is vegan and most menu items offer a gluten-free option also. Circadian Rhythm has a great atmosphere and I saw that they do live performances on some nights. Has become my regular hangout! Who knew Dunedin would have the best vegan cafe/restaurant in NZ???

Went to Circadian Rhythm Cafe for the first time tonight. I enjoyed the food and the relaxed atmosphere. Food was very flavourful and the service was good. A good range of food for everyone not just vegetarians. The nachos were great. Would like to try one of their range of smoothies next time. Will be coming back soon.

I’m stopping in here more and more frequently. I enjoy the bloody flesh of an animal as much as the next Omnivore, but this is forgotten when I sample the outstanding Vegan foods at Circadian Rhythm.
The Filo rolls are so delicious and full of flavour, and I definitely recommend the range of Smoothies.
The service is probably the friendliest I’ve had in a Dunedin Cafe.
Haven’t been there at the right time for the buffet yet, but next time!

After watching Slumdog Millionaire tonight for some reason I had a desire to eat Indian. Wanted straight out vegetarian so this was it. Despite them being closed by time I got there later on a Sunday night, they still made me up some food which is pretty fantastic service.

Dunedin is blessed with a number of vegetarian eateries, and this place definately counts well among the them. The food is great and pretty good value (I find it hard to go past their buffet), and non-vegetarians will do well with their range of savoury tastes.

I call this a Dunedin cafe rather than just a cafe in Dunedin with it’s down to earth & relaxed atmosphere. You could feel comfortable playing a board game here or reading a book and the notice board is service to it’s patrons. Watch out for the music gigs here which adds to Dunedin’s arts scene well.
