Low-key vegan cafe - Edit
I didn't even notice this place was vegan, they've done it quite subtlety. Loads of great options, my carnivore friend was perfectly satisfied too. Friendly staff. And the coffee is wonderful. Can't fault it.

Lovely home style cooking - Edit
Although this cafe accommodates all diets their vegan cakes and lunches are really delishious and are of the nicest ones I have tried when eating out. For once it felt like a real treat eating here rather than having to choose the one pale vegan option like so many other places. Always packed so this sais a lot.

Amazing vegan cakes - Edit
Big selection of vegan cakes, the one I tried was super good! Also had vegan panini with hummus, rocket and olives instead of red onion, loved it, should be on the menu instead!;) Perfect little place that I hope one day will go 100% vegan.

Bustling and very vegan friendly - Edit
Popped in for tea and naughty cake. Felt very at ease here. Bit of a misunderstanding so they brought me the wrong tea but it was still very good tea and a whole pot of it too. My companion enjoyed his soya latte. He had the banana caramel cake - delicious and moist if slightly bready texture. My earl grey cake was in honesty rather dry, but it was tasty and i yummed down the entire massive slice. Free wifi and relaxed atmosphere.

Great Vegan Menu - Edit
I was really happy going here today with a friend for coffee. The best choices for vegans I've seen in town; I found the vegan menu which had sandwiches, panini and jacket potatoes, and a huge selection of vegan cakes (brownie, lemon, bake well tart, carrot). I had a huge slice of carrot cake and a soya latte which was delicious. Will definitely be back as its great for coffee with vegan and non vegan friends :)

good vegan options - Edit
Nice little place that specifically caters for vegans separately, unlike other places. They have a menu with all their vegan options so it's easy to know what you can eat and you're not just relegated to an option or two at the end of each menu section. - banool
