Argo on the Square - Shop 4, 211 Victoria Square, Adelaide
Argo first hit my radar when I read about the delicious vegan treats served at Argo on The Parade. When I had a spare lunch break, Nathan tweeted Argo asking if the vegan treats extended to Argo on the Square. They do.

Inside feels 'hipster' but not too hipster that suits feel uncomfortable. |
The day I visited Argo, it was cool and raining. The specials board outside advertised a salad, which didn't entice me in but once I retrieved a menu from the counter, I was in like Flynn! The first page is a list of products using Spring Gully ingredients - another gold star for supporting local businesses who need a hand. Orders are received at the counter along with payment. Being vegan, my order is never simple, it normally goes something like "can I please order this without this but can you add that instead?" and I normally look up to see a slightly bewildered face staring back at me. Not here. She responded with "are you vegan? I'm vegan too, in fact, I used to be a raw vegan". Hooray, another gold star.
Usually served with Spring Gully mayo but it's not vegan. |

Photobombing staff - another gold star! |

Don't know how long to brew tea for? Don't worry, the timer will tell you. |
After my tea and slice, I wasn't ready to leave this place. It's the sort of place I could spend hours in, ordering tea, reading the paper and answering emails. Big props to the creators of Argo.
Ambiance: 3.5/5 - A rad lunch spot for one or for groups, nice table layout and comfortable
Service: 4/5 - Understanding what a vegan diet is, photobombing my pics and efficient staff - winning!
Food: 8/10 - Fresh, loads of healthy options, extensive menu but points off for funky hummus.
In total. Tom gives Argo on the Square 15.5/20 chops on the chopping board.
