Really lovely food

Great all day breakfast with one for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Plenty of other options too, and the decor is magnificently wacky

Pros: Lots of choice for vegetarians and vegans

Inspire-ational

An awesome place set in a beautiful old church building. We had a couple of cappuccino’s with almond milk and an absolutely delicious piece of vegan vanilla cheesecake. The Bangladeshi village food menu looks good with vegan options listed.

Average

This place was nice but there was only one vegan option which was a burger, it was pretty standard and something that could be made cheaper at home. It didn’t have a wow factor or anything worth going back for. It was nice I just wouldn’t be fussed about having it again or going back. Just wasn’t vibing it so much.

Also as a side note the two people working there weren’t wearing masks and one of them serving us sounded really poorly and full of cold / flu, which I think without being in the midst of a pandemic isn’t ideal and they shouldn’t be working with food? Especially with no mask…

Pros: Burger was alright

Cons: Only one vegan option , No masks / staff full of cold , Bit cold and dingy

Lovely Atomasphire & lovely food.

This place has a lovely atmosphere does really good coffee & a grate vegan burger. They also have vegan cakes in.
They have vegan & Vegaterian options on the menu.
The staff are lovely, patient with children (including Autistic kids).
It's grate that this place has disabled access in to the building & has disabled access to the toilets.
This is also a Dog Friendly Cafe!

Feeling Holy

Very friendly cafe within a church. On offer they have basic vegan options available (burger and soup) but this is going expand in time. On my visit I got a vegetable burger with chips, which was satisfying but for the price paid, I would have expected a protein style burger. However, the salted caramel cheesecake slice I got to takeaway was delicious though.

Pros: Friendly staff, Parking, Outside seating

Cons: Basic vegan menu currently
