A cute little cafe with an awesome plant based menu. I had their delicious double down and was super impressed with the flavours and texture of the fricken aka "chicken"! Rivals the best plant based restaurants I've visited in Auckland and overseas.
As an added bonus, the chef came out to have a chat and not only is everything made from scratch, but they're his own recipes! Kinda bummed that means they won't be available anywhere else. Definitely plan to be back when I'm back in town.

Friendly staff. Delicious vegan food that's reasonably priced. Veg Lasagne that was gluten free with side salad $11.50. Variety of cabinet and menu food. They don't charge for non dairy milk in hot drinks. One of the best vegan places I've been to. Great location right near the plaza

Absolutely delicious vegan food. The tofu scramble on ciabatta was amazing. Cheers!

A great place in Palmy to grab a delicious plant based, vegan meal. There's menu food and a selection of cabinet food

I wish I had a photo of what I had because it was beautifully presented. I ordered a vegan/gluten free brownie and a banana nut smoothie. They were both really nice, especially the brownie! I really appreciate that despite focusing on making vegan food, they also cater for gluten free people. The lady behind the counter was lovely and offered to take photos on the sofa with me and my friend and offered us free treats. It was a lovely afternoon! Next time I come back to Palmerston North, I will definitely be back. Thank you xx

LOVE BARLEY!
Love the food, love that the menu/cabinet food changes, love the service, and love that they're happy to have behaved dogs inside too! My partner and I love coming in and not having to think which foods could we ask to be veganized like other places. We especially love that they're not all talk and ACTION what they stand for. Don't give a sh*# to the naysayers - we are 100% supporters of your vegan and zero waste standards in your eatery!

As a company wellness event our team went to Barley for a tasty selection of burgers and nuggets (all plant based) many of our team were surprised at the flavour texture and quality of the ingredients. We were also kindly informed of the health, wellbeing and nutritional benefits of a low to no meat diet. Great evening and a lovely host

Good range of vegan and gluten free meals at decent prices. Food came out quickly and exceeded expectations. They were happy to substitute items out to work with our low fodmap requirements as well.

AMAZING SELECTION OF VEGAN FOOD! I love that alt milks do not cost extra and that my dairy-free and vegan friends can come here and literally have anything! Thoroughly enjoyed their nachos back in 2019.

Barley is excellent. Owners Freya and Matt are committed to providing the highest quality plant-based snacks, meals and drinks with awesome welcoming hospitality.
The gourmet wow factor is present at Barley. What a cool little cafe! Delicious and fresh, this is a Vegan paradise. Barley is Eco-conscious and aims for zero waste and it's dog friendly. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Barley is a winner.

Every brunch/lunch I've had here has been amazing. Coffee is always great and so are the sweets in the cabinet. Last night we tried a couple of things from the dinner menu which were both sooo goood! That ginger and soy 'Chook' is incredible 😍
Ruby Spink
Been here twice and had absolutely sensational food. The burgers are out of this world! Portions are very generous for the reasonable price.
It’s a must visit if you’re in the area- vegan or not. Will definitely be back again 😊

Great little Café! Owner is always so friendly and obviously hard working. Small but tasty menu with nice cabinet food. Will definitely be going again. Yay for plant based food.

I love Barley. The food is amazing, the coffee superb and the staff top notch. I consider the owner (Matt) a world class food inventor. What he's doing sets a new standard. As someone who cares about minimising suffering I'm really grateful we have Barley.

The Barley has planted their seed in Palmy and is here to stay.
All plant based food with a menu that the owners are developing. I am not vegan but I still love eating here.
There is menu food from breakfast to pizzas, burgers and cabinet food.
The chick peas nachos with jalapeños are delicious.
Coffee is Hawthorne from Hawkesbay and has been especially selected to match the plant based milks.The staff are very informative on matching the right milk with your choice of coffee.
A vegan cafe with awesome staff and delicious food.

OMG! The Burgers are Absolutely amazing, everything is vegetarian at least, there's plenty of vegan options.
I apologized to my Vegetarian friend for ordering and eating chicken in front of her and she said, no it's all vegetarian/Vegan and I enjoyed it that much more!

The food at this cozy establishment is so good that its now on mine and my finances "recommend to others" list. Added to that the polite and professional staff, beautiful decor, and light, open atmosphere make dining here an amazing experience.
