Loved it!

Cute interior, good price, great service and DELICIOUS food! So many options but we both went for the daily special, which was a lovely mix of different things. The Mac and cheese was a bit salty, but balanced out with everything else on the plate. Good portions too -- we were too full even though deserts looked lush too!

Pros: Lots of options, Good price, Cute place

Always amazing!

I love Monstera... its never disappoints. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. The Hoisin burger is one of my most favourite things to eat. High recommend. 🌱💓 perfect place to take non-vegans to show them the light.

Pros: Totally vegan , Great staff , Loads of options

Good value vegan diner

Finally got a chance to visit this place. It’s a small vegan cafe with a diner feel, not too pretentious but nicely decorated and unapologetically vegan. We ordered a hoisin burger meal which comes with chips, coleslaw, Mac and cheese & chicken strips; and also a donna’s kebab rice box. Portions were very big (couldn’t finish them) and food was very reasonably priced. The food was really tasty, especially the flavour and texture of the burger patty which was in panko breadcrumbs. Would fully recommend

Pros: All vegan cafe & run by vegans , Great food at great prices , Nice friendly staff

Cons: Small venue- 4 tables , Reduced opening hours, Need to wipe the tables down more

Super tasty, best hot choc ever

Small cosy place with seating for about a dozen, easy to find and very friendly staff.

I had a hot chocolate on a whim and actually loved it, I don't usually😁Then had the buffalo burger as a box meal. Didn't have a chance of finishing it all but loved it! The chicken bits were quite salty but otherwise every bite was perfection. Really generous size seitan burger too and made a lovely change from the standard veggie burgers or meatlike patties you get in pubs as a vegan option now.

Definitely plan to go back!

Pros: Really tasty food, Lovely atmosphere, Has a toilet

The best vegan place I know

I regularly eat at Monstera for both the friendly environment (the owners are the nicest guys) and amazing food. There's such a range in option and the specials are always crazy good too.

Pros: Lots of options, Reasonably priced , Delicious!

Why have I not been here before?!

I can’t believe that I’ve lived so close to such an amazing place and not heard about it until now! We need to spread the news, get the word out there😄
I’ve been here 3 times in 3 days since I made the discovery
Food is amazing, prepped and cooked fresh in front of your eyes. Lots of choice and they are happy to adapt the menu for you. Service is brilliant, they are so friendly and helpful. Such a relaxed environment. The take away curry club is also fantastic, and as are their bakery bits (doughnuts, rocky road, brownies)
Cannot fault it in the slightest, perfect for vegans and non vegans alike.
Get your bum here sharpish!

Phenomenal

Visited this lovely cafe yesterday with two non-vegans. I was absolutely gobsmacked at the variety of choice, even though we arrived 40 mins before closing. They prepared all the food fresh to order, and it was ALL DELICIOUS. I had the bbq jackfruit toastie and would 10/10 recommend. My friends had the hoisin tofu and the phily chee!e steak. SO DELICIOUS. The non-vegans absolutely loved everything too. The staff were so friendly.

Pros: So much choice, Fresh food, So reasonably priced

Awesome

I’d heard about Monstera. I’m so glad we’ve got a venue like this in the area. Worth a special trip. Such a friendly, vibrant place. It great to see a business with such passion about what it does. Great coffee and the best brownies I’ve ever had!!

Pros: Friendly service , Fab food - especially the brownies , Great atmosphere

Great food, great service

I’ve eaten here on multiple occasions and I am yet to be disappointed. It is the first and only vegan eatery in Luton and is very welcomed. I’ve had a vegan kebab, English breakfasts and a variety of baps. The cakes and bakes provide by an external partner are not to go a miss either. Staff are friendly and provide a warm environment when eating in but you also have the convenience of taking food away.

Pros: Menu is entirely vegan , Friendly staff , Good food

Cons: Small establishment

Monstera Canteen

Sadly couldn’t sit in and had to takeaway due to time. But would’ve loved to stay and chill for a while, it’s a relaxed and cosy environment. The owners were really friendly and made you feel very welcome. There was a lot on the menu I wanted to try but plumped for the Mac and Cheeze which I felt would travel a bit better on the couple of hours journey home. It did and was still delicious heated up later that day. Hope to revisit again soon : )
