Barefoot Eatery
Barefoot Eatery is a vegetarian cafe with a focus on plant-based breakfasts and baked goods such as waffles, muffins, and toasties like the popular chickpea 'tuna' melt. It relocated to Riverside Market and shares seating in a food court setting—offering a casual environment with some reviews praising its creative healthy dishes and others noting occasional slow service. The venue serves dairy products since mid-2025, so while many vegan options exist, the menu is not fully vegan.
