Lovely Flavors - Edit
I got a fritter stack with chutney and raita topped with arugula and carrots. It was amazing! Also asked for a smoothie recommendation and it was refreshing:) Staff were very welcoming. I'd definitely go again.

Amazing food! - Edit
This is one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to and everything was delicious! We had two main dishes that came with good sized salads (a kale salad and a quinoa salad, both were excellent), and a chocolate tort. We thought the portion sizes were good, the menu had a lot of options, the food was home made with whole foods, and the staff was friendly. Our whole experience was fantastic.

Strong flavors, weaker portion sizes - Edit
Wow were the flavors here super impressive. We had the frittata of the day and the mushroom ball things. Each were super flavorful. The frittata came with a soup for a bit extra and the balls came with a salad. All was delicious!
Read moreThe only thing that takes away is that I WANT MORE! I am definitely not settled in the tummy. The prices were fair but i think pricing up and including more food is better than lower prices and not getting enough. My heart is happy😄
Pros: Superb flavors , Unique options , Fair prices
Cons: Not the biggest portions

Quality food - Edit
The cafe has a nice decor and vibe- chill, natural materials. It’s LGBT friendly. It’s a popular place so you might need to wait for a table. Service was a bit slow, especially given that food was pre-prepared and just needed plating up. There’s been quite a few unexpected closures recently due to staff shortages.
Read moreWhen we visited we ordered the platter special, which came with a trio of salads and two choices. We chose the mushroom sausage roll and frittata. We also got a blueberry ice tea (bit watery) & iced vanilla matcha (good).
Overall the portions were good and was good value for money. The food was tasty, with great flavours, and especially the seeds on the salads and the mushroom roll. Will be visiting again
Second visit: Had a London fog latte (earl grey & lavender. Tasty and unique!), matcha latte, a breakfast burrito with cauliflower side salad and sausage roll (yummy). Baked products come from the Vegan Bay Baker

I should have got the burrito… - Edit
Great place in Aberdeen while I was visiting and when you’re limited it is always good to support the independents.
Read moreI grabbed the Christmas special sandwich and as nice as it was, it was just sort of turnip, cranberry and some cheese in bread.
I really should have gone for the burrito as they look amazing but it is on me for wanting to try the special.
Pros: Fully vegan , Tastes good

Worth waiting for - Edit
They were full when we arrived and told us to come back in 25 minutes and sure enough our table had been reserved. They’d had a busy day and had sold out of some stuff but still managed to produce a range of lovely meals for the five of us. The three non-vegans were really happy with the crispy sourdough toast and the scrambled tofu and mushroom was super.

Tasty Sandwiches - Edit
Vegan cafe in Inverness. Has a selection of sandwiches, wraps, pastries, cakes, salads and daily specials. Everything we ordered was delicious- we had the vegan cheese, olive and tomato sandwiches and a rice and pecan salad. Masala Chai drink was particularly great. Also bought some cheese from their cheese counter and some pastries for breakfast the next day. Would recommend.

10/10 - Edit
Such a wonderful place. We stopped there to have lunch with our dog and it couldn't have been better. The food was AMAZING and the staff were the friendliest, they even let us try a new kombucha they're making. It's a pity we don't live in Inverness to try all the different options and have a meal there very week!

An amazing gem in the Highlands - Edit
I was looking forward to visiting this cafe whilst on holiday. It didn't disappoint - it was great! I had a scrambled tofu breakfast bowl, which was filling, tasty and nutritious. Great selection of mains, sandwiches, savouries, cakes and drinks. Loved the ambience of the place plus the care and thought that seems to go into making up a great menu. An amazing gem. x

Probably the best salad in Scotland - Edit
I had a triple salad, since I couldn't decide on a single one.
Read moreDefinitely the right choice. It was really tasty. (also so much, I had to take the rest with me).
I also had a doughnut as take away.
For me it was a little too greasy, yet not execptionally good. But that's just my opinion. Others might like it that way. :-)
After all, i would love to come again!
Pros: Great food, Nice staff, A lovely little café

Highland gem - Edit
I was already a fan of LCC cheeses so I knew I was going to like this place. The sharing platter of salads is such a good idea, I’m glad I tried them all as they were ridiculously tasty. The bruschetta was lovely too. Just wish there was cheese in stock to take away!

The best vegan cafe in the Highlands - Edit
This cafe is totally vegan and all the dishes are amazing.
Read moreMy favourite is the rice salad, which I could happily eat every day!
They have lovely bread and cakes and the owner makes a fabulous range of vegan cheeses.
The also serve loose leaf tea, which is often hard to find in other cafes.
I recommend that if you are in Inverness and vegan you really should eat here,you will always have a lovely warm welcome too.

Great vegan cafe - Edit
Visting the area and pleased to try out the cafe. We had the toasties and I loved the cheese - would have bought some cheese to take away but it wouldn't survive a hot train journey! Also had the cakes - yummy! I had the mint slice, and companion had the coffee and walnut cake. Would love to try other things.

Gorgeous and delicious - Edit
Gorgeous vegan cafe in Inverness city centre. Delicious, mostly home made, foods with lots of local products, including Left Coast Culture cheeses and Vegan Bay Baker croissants. All vegan. I didn’t try their coffees, matcha, lattes and hot chocolates but I intend to next week. Can’t wait to return. Oh and they have a few copies of Think Like A Vegan for sale too.

Amazing vegan deli with the best vegan cheese. - Edit
Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and the best vegan cheese. I had a sourdough toastie which was to die for and will be back to work my way through tbe menu. Also happy to see local produce sold. A big five stars to the owner Ella to open such a great place and vegan cheese counter.
