The famous couple popped into Charlie’s Raw Squeeze, ordering refreshing blends to beat the Brisbane heat. They may be celebrities, but even Kourtney and Travis can’t resist a healthy, down-to-earth pitstop between glamorous engagements.

They were spotted sipping matcha lattes and macchiatos at the trendy cafe as they took a break from Travis’ Australian tour with Blink-182.

Earlier in their Brisbane getaway, the pair stopped for coffee at the posh Dicki’s Ascot, which is best known for its plant-based menu. When it comes to her diet, Kourtney is devoted to plant-based eating – her lifestyle website Poosh declares she eats almost entirely vegan, sticking to it about 95 percent of the time.

Kourtney and Travis are believed to be staying at the luxurious Calile Hotel during their Australian visit. Though they had no security detail with them, fans readily recognised the stars and asked for selfies. The pair kindly stopped to chat and pose for photos around town.

Whilst Travis is touring Australia with Blink-182, Kourtney has been soaking up the sights in Sydney with her two youngest kids, Penelope and Reign. Her eldest son Mason opted to skip this trip.

Vegan and Vegetarian-Friendly Cafes in Greenslopes

There has been a steady rise in the number of Australians turning to a vegetarian diet or actively reducing their meat consumption. Figures show that the number of Australian adults who are going meat-free had risen from 1.7 million people (9.7% of the population) to almost 2.1 million (11.2%) between 2012 and 2016.

With this steady growth in the demand for more meat-free food options, there is no wonder why most restaurants are now offering vegetarian and vegan meal options.

For vegetarians and vegans living in Greenslopes, here are the top-rated vegetarian-friendly restaurants in the area.
