Delicious food & warm atmosphere

We shared 2 lovely dishes. A Buddha bowl absolutely bursting with beautiful veggies and fluffy tofu puffs. A huge Full Breakfast with the most delicious garlicky buttery mushrooms, avocado, loads of creamy baked beans, crispy hash browns, 2 x Richmond vegan sausage, avocado, chopped tomatoes & beautiful buttery toasted sourdough.

The atmosphere in the cafe is so friendly and the owners absolutely lovely to chat to. I can’t wait to go back.

Pros: All vegan food and mainly whole foods, Friendly owners, Cosy atmosphere

Wonderful food and lovely staff

Where do I start! The moment we walked into the cafe we were made to feel welcome. The cafe has a very relaxing atmosphere. We ordered some food and coffee. The coffee was fantastic and you could really tell the difference when comparing to Costa or Starbucks. We ordered scrambled tofu on toast, spicy beans on toast, and tomatoes on toast. As you can see from the photos, the food was presented well and looks lovely. And it tasted even better than it looks. You could tell a lot of care and attention had gone into making the food. I would highly recommend this to anyone passing through regardless of your dietary preferences. Great food and staff, we will definitely be visiting again! Thank you

Pros: Relaxing, Tasty food, Lovely staff

Canalside Kitchen

Nice cafe overlooking the canal (over the car park). Staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. I had the scrambled tofu on toast, my companion had the curried beans on toast. The scrambled tofu was spot on, a good sized portion too. My companion didn’t enjoy the beans however, stating that the curry flavour was very strong and overpowered the dish. The menu, in my opinion, could be a little more varied and ambitious, some of the dishes are very easily made at home. Free parking directly outside in the car park. 3.5 ⭐️

Fab brunch

Visited today as we spotted Canalside's sign while sailing past yesterday. (There's convenient narrowboat mooring on the Armco opposite the marina and easy access to the cafe over a footbridge.)
I enjoyed the delicious Vegan Breakfast and my partner happily demolished the Mushrooms on Toast, eating much more than is usual for him - praise indeed! The portion sizes are generous and the cafe had a lovely, relaxed atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff.
Well worth a visit 💚

Pros: Beautifully cooked food, Chatty, friendly staff, Scrupulously clean cafe

Pick me up for mind and tummy

Absolutely lovely place. Calm, peaceful, great food and really lovely people. So glad we came.

To find it, go to this what three words address: ///battle.grain.deleting that takes you to the gate from the road then follow through to the parking and you’ll see the door with the open sign.

Pros: Lovely people, Great food, Excellent scrambled tofu

Amazing scrambled tofu.

As others have said, the scrambled tofu is the best I have ever eaten, bar none- including my own. Unfortunately their technique is a trade secret, but fair enough!

Pros: Great all vegan choices. , Convenient if travelling up M6, On-site yoga studio

Cons: Difficult to find!

Outstanding

We both had the "it's not scrambled egg" on sourdough. The best scrambled tofu I've ever had and the side order of creamy mushrooms were exquisite. 100% recommended 💚🌱

Perfect surprise motorway break!

An unplanned serendipitous visit - we were travelling on the motorway, felt ready to eat, opened Happy Cow, and this lovely little cafe popped up just ten minutes away. Perfect!

A simple and healthy menu - it’s always nice to NOT be presented with the ubiquitous vegan burger option. We had avocado on sourdough and mushrooms on sourdough to eat - both just the right portion size and very tasty. And enormous and delicious green smoothies. Everything was delicious, freshly made and reasonably priced - lunch for three of us with four drinks was about £30.

We sat inside, but on a warmer day there are picnic benches by the tranquil canal. Parking is easy and the toilets were clean.

Pros: Healthy and flavoursome food. , The massive smoothies! , Value for money.

Cons: Postcode doesn’t take you there via GPS.

What a find!

The most beautiful little café on the Canal. We ordered the large breakfast- and was it large!! The first time I’ve ever left food on my plate but I was truly full. The breakfast was cooked and presented beautifully. Staff (owners?) so nice and friendly. This place is a must visit 🙏🌱

Rare find - a must for all locals!

Georgous location, owner and food. I ended up taking half the large breakfast away for breakfast the next day - so a 2 for 1!

My go to safe space on my doorstep

I love this place so much. highly recommend Mind Body Labs Canalside Kitchen, a delightful and fully vegan establishment run by Ben and Karina. The food is freshly made and every dish on offer is absolutely delicious. Personally, I have a particular fondness for their Buddha bowl, as well as their avocado on scrumptious sourdough bread. The warmest welcome awaits from the lovely Ben and Karina . I love that Mind Body Labs Canalside Kitchen is an all vegan establishment, emphasising their commitment to providing wholesome and plant-based meals. 💚

Cute vegan health centre

Venue is a little out of the way but it is a really nice place that is very clean and modern.
We had a large breakfast and a mushroom on toast. They were both really tasty (helped by the bread from medicine bakery)
They offer yoga and classes also and seems to have a cute little community.

Pros: Healthy, Nice food , Cute aesthetic

Cons: Bit out of the way

Healthy, delicious, filling

Finally Wolves has a fully vegan establishment. My wife and I came in for breakfast (with the food being so good we ordered 2 dishes each - it was brunch time).

Food is all fresh cooked to order, packed with flavour and filling. So filling. The Buddha bowl had a delicious sauce coating it and the tofu on top that had a nice hint of sweetness alongside the soy savoury. Mushrooms on toast came in a thick, creamy sauce.

All the food is well priced. Staff are very friendly and attentive. It was so nice to just not worry about a single thing potentially not being vegan. Heaven in Wolves - strong recommend.

Pros: Tasty, tasty food, Fully vegan, Very well priced
