Alex Gooch Monmouth - Edit
Drove here from Malvern so a fair distance and when I arrived it was closed. The shop door was slightly ajar with staff cleaning the counter; they gave me a couple of blackberry cruffins, that would’ve been wasted for free, which was nice of them. But vegan businesses, we want to support you so please update your socials and listings when you change your opening hours. Not everyone who visits you is local.

Ridiciously Good! - Edit
So many amazing options! Great to see a fully vegan bakery thriving (there was a queue when we visited!). Only problem is you will have difficulty deciding - unless you do what I did and order several items to eat over the next few days 😂

Delicious - Edit
So I consider myself somewhat of a coffee and pastry nerd and I have to say that this place met all my expectations and more. Absolutely stunning pastries, coffees and bread. Prices very reasonable considering how much time and love need to go into creating these masterpieces. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about their products. Can’t recommend enough and we shall definitely be coming back.
Read morePros: Delicious food and coffee, Fabulous, chilled upstairs seating, Friendly and helpful staff

More than just a bakery - Edit
Alex Gooch is a multi-award-winning baker and once you try this place you'll understand why.
Read moreIt's a great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch with pizzas, focaccia and ciabatta sandwiches as well as breakfast muffins with sausage and bacon.
Everything in this place is vegan, they just don't make it obvious. The coffee is divine and the cruffins (muffins crossed with croissants) are out of this world. #Veganuary
Pros: Blackcurrant cruffins, Super friendly staff , Great for people watching
Cons: Nothing

Vegan’s Dream - Edit
Fabulous plant based food - take away or eat in. We choose to eat in and had warm croissants with bacon, cheese and maple syrup - yummy. It took ages to decide what to eat as all of the menu choices are lovely - a vegan’s dream. Fab take away cakes, pizzas, cakes, sandwiches, and much more. The staff are very friendly - lots of places to sit - nice cozy room upstairs which was very popular. Looking forward to visiting again soon. #Veganuary

Fantastic Vegan Cafe - Edit
I was so pleased to find this bakery when visiting Monmouth. With everything vegan I could happily choose whatever I liked. The man serving was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I had a delicious pizza followed by a plant yogurt dessert, which was heavenly. The sun was shining and we sat outside despite it being October. I also bought bread to take home. I’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic lunch - Edit
It was lovely to have lunch here. I'm vegan and my husband is a vegetarian. I had focaccia with coronation chickpea and my husband a croissant with facon, cheese and maple syrup. Both lovely and normally husband won't eat vegan cheese but enjoyed. Also had sweet treat which were lovely.

An Oasis - Edit
I loved that everything is vegan so I could choose what i want with no restrictions. The food is high quality and absolutely delicious. I had a nutrient bowl which was satisfying, fresh, balanced and tasty. I left with an armful of pastries and bread. The shop is very well presented and doesn't obviously advertise as vegan, which I think is a business advantage, as the "v" word can put people off. Hopefully it will be around for years to come

Was so excited to find out about this fully plant based bakery in Monmouth😍
Read moreThey have a biggg variety both sweet and savoury items, the option to eat in (with plenty of space) or takeaway, and the kindest most helpful staff🥰
A few things that caught my eye were the almond croissants, massive cruffins, inverted croissants, pizza and focaccia👀
We got a beautiful variety of pastries that we took home and then the next day, I got some focaccia. Everything was incredible, Alex is super talented and absolutely nails the vegan goods🤩🤩🤩Can’t wait to be back in Monmouth again to try more….(stay tuned)

Fantastic artisinal vegan bakery in Wales - Edit
Stopped in here for coffee and pastries - they had such a big selection it was difficult to pick just one thing! They had plenty of sweet pastries (filled croissants, donuts and cruffins), a couple of savoury pastries, pizza slices, breads and baguettes. We chose to have an almond croissant and chocolate cruffin, both were delicious and generous sizes. The coffee was also excellent, and service was very friendly.
Read moreOverall, it was slightly pricey, but the food was definitely worth the price.
Pros: Good pastries, Plenty of choice
Cons: Pizza slice felt overpriced

Delicious vegan pastries - ALL vegan cafe - Edit
At first sight you wouldn’t think this artisan bakery and cafe was vegan. In fact when my husband found “meat” on his pizza he thought there’d been a mistake, only to find out that everything was vegan. “What everything?” The pastries are out of this world good. The pizzas are fresh and crispy. My favourite so far is the “cheese and bacon” croissant with maple syrup. You can purchase amazing sour dough bread (so good it reminded me of France), to take home so we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast and took the bread home for lunch. Staff are friendly and helpful. There’s more seating upstairs and it’s a bit quieter upstairs too so you can choose which you prefer. The prices reflect the quality so it’s not cheap but for this standard the prices are fair.
Read morePros: Amazing vegan croissants, pastries & pizzas, Everything is plant based, oat milk for the coffee, Staff are friendly and helpful
