Tasty pastries and lovely green smoothie

The counter is full of tasty pastries. We choose the pain au chocolate and the almond croissant, but they also have a lot of different cookies, a cinnamon bun and different cakes.

I liked the taste of the pain au chocolate and the hazelnuts on top. The almond croissant was topped with almond paste and tasted good as well. Unfortunately, both pastries were not very crispy on the outside. But maybe it's because I ate them in the late afternoon. Also, both pastries are quite expensive, $3,95 each.

I also tried there green smoothie with Mango, pineapple, Kale, spinach and almond milk. It had a beautiful green color and tasted really good. Next time I would order it again!

Lovely cafe in Clifton

Really like the look and location of this cafe and obviously the fact that it is entirely plantbased. The drinks section of the menu is a bit to extensive if you ask me, they could turn it down a notch. I really liked the taste of my iced latte though, still could taste the coffee and it wasn't sweetened. Just the way I like it.

Grabbed the almond croissant and a chocolate hazelnut one on the go, they tasted pretty good but I've certainly had better ones. Still, this place is well worth a visit.

Pros: Lovely iced latte, Very nice location and outdoor and indoor seating, Pretty tasty pastries

Cons: Very large drinks menu

Lovely place, lovely smoothie

Houmous was exquisitely presented as shown, though the crunchy chickpeas were soggy beans and the houmous itself was low quality and wasn't actually very nice. But the cacao coffee smoothie was outstanding. I'd give it another try.

Pros: Exquisite presentation, Great staff, Fair prices

Cons: Disappointing taste

Great beverages

Tried the almond croissant and pizza twist, both really nice. Other food items are mostly sandwiches/toasts. Also had the white macadamia mocha and chai latte which were great.

Good but spenny

The sandwich and waffles were nice, but pretty spenny for the size. It's kinda understandable since it's in Clifton though.

Great coffee and cakes. But limited savoury food and limited indoor seating.

Very friendly, all vegan food. Lots of cakes and drinks to choose from and items to buy in the shop. But not much to choose from for lunch and only seating for 8 indoors. Bit cold in winter for outdoor eating unless come prepared!

Pros: Cakes - lots of choice , Drinks - lots of choice , All vegan and delicious

Cons: Not much lunch food, Hardly any indoor seating

A little bit of Paris in Clifton

This stylish shop/cafe feel like you’ve been transported to a beautiful street in Paris with its shabby chic interior and pretty outdoor seating area. On offer is excellent coffee and a selection of mouthwatering pastries along with a handful of savoury treats. No snobbery here, just smiles and fantastic quality.

Pros: It’s all plant-based, Human and dog friendly, The cinnamon rolls are EPIC

Really lovely place

Amazing little vegan cafe and shop. Alongside cakes, coffee and brunch they sell a range of vegan gifts and nicknacks like bags and socks. I loved the decor and the cake and coffee were both excellent. They even gave us some complimentary brownie tasters with the coffee!

Pastry are the best!

I haven't had a cinnamon roll for nearly a decade because it is normally non-vegan but I came to this place and I chose this straight away!

All the cakes are plant-based and look delicious. I had iced coffee along with it.

Pros: All cakes and bakery are vegan. , Lots of options for hot and cold drinks.

Cons: Wheelchair access would be tricky., Difficult to find car parking.

The Best Vegan Cakes

This cute cafe offers the best vegan cakes in Bristol! Everyday they have new cakes, pastries and savoury options on offer which are all amazing! They also have a unique drinks menu with seasonal drinks such as Biscoff hot chocolate to strawberry matcha. I have ordered a few of their celebration cakes now and they are the best vegan cakes I’ve ever had. My non vegan family also loved them! The only issue I’ve had with this cafe is the prices and sizes of their cakes. They are so expensive and they give you tiny slices! Also there’s little to no indoor seating.
EDIT: They now have a new menu which offers sandwiches, salads and blueberry waffles. I tried the blueberry waffles and they were amazing!

Ideal lunch venue

We had lunch sitting outside in the sunshine. Butternut squash and feta toastie was delicious. Also had the blueberry breakfast muffin. If you are looking for a good lunch look no further.

Pros: All vegan

Hit and miss and overpriced too

I hate docking vegan places, but I had the same or better quality elsewhere in Bristol, and at a cheaper price, so I was a bit disappointed here. The breakfast sandwich at €9 was bland -- full of tofu but not much else. Luckily, it was served with a flavourful side salad and some Sriracha sauce. The quiche (quite good) was just a tiny slice for the same price. The almond croissant was the best thing we ordered -- flakey and delicious. The lemon raspberry cake again was a tiny slither for the price and although it tasted good, it wasn't worth the almost £4 price tag.
