Fairly good food, and nice vibes

There's not too many good vegan options in Watford however this place I thought was well worth my time. The place is very nice with good food, and good environment with people enjoying board games. The vegan options were good, not the best that I've had in London but I would definitely recommend to visit here in Watford as you won't find many other places nearby that have good traditional 'vegan' junk food options.

Pros: Vegan burgers, Good vibes, Board games

Cons: Small portions, Unfriendly neighbourhood

Great!

I went there for a vegan meet up. I didn't play any board games but I really enjoyed the food!

Worth 5 Stars (coming soon!)

Lovely to finally meet co-owner Michelle (her vegan chocolate and raspberry cake was divine!), chef Katy (really enjoyed her off-menu pulled 'steak' burger), and colleague Adam.

If you're into gaming, then visit Watford, you can enjoy board games here, and free video games at nearby vegan Ready Burger :-)

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Sooo many board games

Sadly the Ready Burger chain didn't survive; too many branches too soon :-(

A fave local hangout

Amazing selection of games. Become a monthly hangout as conveniently located (pre-covid). Decent vegan selection and friendly staff. Hope to return in the near future😄
Parking in the evenings available on the side streets.

The NOM box

After the first lockdown, D20 started delivering NOM boxes which were fully vegan.
They're great https://plantshift.com/blog/d20-nom-box

Wicked fun all day long

This place is really quirky and cool, it's such a good idea for a cafe. The food is great, the vegan food isn't an afterthought, but instead it's thought out and tasty, as two of the owners are vegan and as such the options are great. The Biscoff Cheesecake, daaaayyyyum! Eat it all.

Pros: Lots vegan options

Thank you for your lovely review! We are really proud of our vegan options, especially our homemade biscoff cheesecake - it never lasts very long! Hope to see you again soon :)

Five stars!

Would only let me leave 4-stars, but I would give this place 5 !!! Amazing range of vegan options (basically everything has a vegan alternative) plus a brilliant range of games. Food was amazing and not too expensive, try the pizzas, plus super friendly staff who helped us figure out the game we chose! (Thanks Natalie)! Will return!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Amazing atmosphere, Delicious food

Thank you so much Molly! We've been trying really hard during Veganuary to make sure our vegan options are en pointe! Hope to see you again soon! :D

Amazing!

Staff polite, friendly and helpful. Huge selection of board games, good fun. Loads of vegan options, and the option to 'veganise' most dishes! Vegan sides, mains, cakes and milkshakes - loads of options for each. You don't miss out on anything here! Gradually working my way through the menu each time I visit! Milkshakes are served with reusable straws as well. Clean toilets with emergency essentials provided if needed.

Pros: Wide variety of thoughtful vegan options, Great board games, Friendly atmosphere

Cons: Can get busy - may need to book! , Street looks boring until this cafe - keep going!

Thanks very much for your kind review! We can get busy during evening and weekends, so recommend booking here: https://www.d20cafe.co.uk/book-a-table/
Although even if we are busy we are more than happy to provide takeaway vegan milkshakes, coffee and food!

*edited* I didn't realise 4 stars was the maximum rating we could get, so thank you very much!

Hi Sudhir, I am very sorry to hear this. Whilst we try and offer table service, this isn't always possible and during busy periods customers may have to order from the bar. However, if you would kindly PM us the time and date of your visit, we can review the situation and re-train staff as necessary.

I can assure you we strive to offer the best service to our customers and we will definitely be looking into this situation further. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will give us another chance to serve you in the future.

Huge food selection and great cafe

They have done a great job making as much of the menu vegan/vegan options as possible.

So great to see milkshakes, a selection of milks, cake with squirty cream (!!) and vegan mayo, too.

We just spent 6 hours gorging and playing games, really great day, nice atmosphere and food.

(Range of board games for families, traditionals, casuals and more hard core!)

Pros: Loads of options, Vegan mayo, Good prices

Food and games

I love this place, there are so many vegan options on the menu, toasties, burgers, pizza, shakes and there’s always at least 1 vegan cake or other sweet thing.
The staff are really friendly.
The cafe has a whole ton of board games suiting every age, but you don’t have to eat to play or play to eat.
Great vibe.
I recommend booking a table at the front of the cafe if you can as you’ll get natural light in from the big windows, the back space feels a bit claustrophobic but there’s nothing they can do about that.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Lovely staff, Bangin’ shakes

Cons: The use of par- baked buns for the burgers

Thank you for your lovely review Jo! We say the front is our casual environment and the back is our dungeon... haha.

We have a new menu in the works so we look forward to hearing your feedback on it in the future! :)

I must visit again!!

What a great place!
A wide range of vegan mains available. Pizzas with vegan cheese. But I had the pasta which was fantastic!
The Ice Tea was refreshing, too.
Many different plant drink available to go with coffee. I had oat milk.
Staff was friendly.
One day, I must book a table to have a boardgame party!

Amazing food, shakes and games!

A great atmosphere, lovely staff, amazing food and the (vegan) milkshakes are to die for 😋 Only downside is I'm always too full to try the cakes 😄
