Don't miss it

Great food, everything we tried was lovely, fresh, wholesome and at a decent price. Haggis nachos were great and the cheesecake was fab. Marvelous little vegan eatery not to be missed while in Elgin.

Pros: All vegan options, Proper homemade food, Great service

Cons: Perhaps more meal choices would be good

THE best lasagne

Cosy cafe with lots of tasty options. I had lasagne with potato salad and a coconut milk latte, both superb. Such a treat to come somewhere which is 100% vegan.

Pros: Cosy cafe, 100% vegan, Lots of choice

Cosy and Tasty

Awesome little place. The food is really delicious and it’s such a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. If I lived closer I think I’d practically live in there 😅

Our Go-To Cafe

This is my favourite place to eat in Elgin. Everything is vegan so you get a whole menu to choose from, the food is always amazing and totally different from what you'd normally get as The Vegan Option. Haggis pizza, pakora burgers, glorious Buddha bowls! The café is so cosy, and the owner and staff are wonderful.

Pros: Completely vegan menu, Food is unique from anything else in Elgin, Small, friendly, cosy atmosphere

Excellent little cafe in Elgin, a standout in the region

The venue is cute and eclectic, very charming, if a bit small.

Service was outstanding, very friendly, knocked off a few quid because I had to wait a short while for my Pakora Burger but the wait didn't really feel very long to me.

The food was very good, fresh hot and delicious. The pepperoni pizza is delicious and actually spicy and piquant. The pakora burger is delicious, a touch heavy but fresh and crispy with a sharp sweet mango sauce to cut through it.

The on tap kombucha was delicious and refreshing, tasted very natural with good flavours of ginger, and mint, tasted like the advertised flavour with no hint of anything artificial.

Would highly recommend this cafe to anyone, but at the moment you should call ahead due to the virus times.

Also the door-dog is very attentive to his duties!

Pros: Very fresh food, Fantastic kombucha on tap, Brilliant service

Cons: N/A

Lovely wee place!

We went here after we found it on the happy cow app. We were delighted that they were open as so many places have reduced opening hours or are closed altogether. We had 3 pizzas, a munch box, doughnuts, drinks and pick-a-mix!
All was eaten and delicious. The chat and company was also very friendly and relaxed. Will definitely come again if up this way!

Pros: Friendly atmosphere , Yummy food , Good choice despite reduced menu

So good!

Lovely wee place with a great selection of salads, toasties, dhal and cakes. The pakora burgers are delicious and huge, and the cheesecake is awesome. It can get busy at lunchtime so might be worth booking a table in advance. Prices are reasonable and staff are lovely.

My parents (non-vegan) took me here for lunch while I was up visiting for the weekend. It's a great little cafe, we all had paninis which were delicious. Food and service were both great, staff were lovely. Also got cakes to take away 🥧 loads of nice options, can't wait to go back

Pros: Great food and staff, Cozy cafe, Loads of great options

Amazing!

I've been following Café Kombucha for a few months whilst living overseas, knowing I would be returning home in the near future. Well I got the opportunity to visit for the first time today and it was outstanding! Lovely wee place - so much effort has gone into the surroundings and the food was sublime! We had the pakora burgers and they were huge! I've never seen such a big pakora. Thoroughly looking forward to going back on a regular basis and working my way through the menu. It's great to have an entirely vegan café - knowing the staff know what they are doing and that you are surrounded by like-minded people is great. We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep!

Pros: Large Portions, Great Quality Food, Entirely Vegan

Vegan awesomeness delicious!

I friend of mine shared a post on fb and I became very enthusiastic to check it out! So last time when I visit Scotland we went together for lunch. I had a very delicious BIG vegan burger. It feels so good when you can choose everything on the menu because it’s vegan. No need to worry about what’s inside the dish.

Pros: Very delicious tasty vegan food, Wide selection of vegan food , Friendly staff

What a wee gem!!

I enjoyed every bit of my visit to Cafe Kombucha back in december. From the quirky interior details (with emphasis on the details - the vintage door handle that is acting flush button for the toilet was a personal favourite! Came out of the restroom with the biggest grin), the generous portions and the welcoming atmosphere.

I had one of the platters with sweet potato and spinach pakoras and they were just divine. Highly recommend if you are visiting Elgin!

Pros: friendly service, beautiful, upcycled space, generous portions

Truly Scrumptious Food

Not being a vegan I am very impressed with the ambience and the catering in Cafe Kombucha. The staff go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy whatever you are having, be it coffee and cake or a meal. On the three occassions I have visited, I can honestly say it was a lovely experience and the food is truly scrumptious. Well worth a visit and many return ones.
