The best 🌟

There is a lovely menu with delicious food and exquisite cakes. The staff and owners are lovely and contribute to drawing in customers from all around. Many of my friends now come to the restaurant as it is such a treat (even though those friends are not vegan), which shows you that food doesn’t have to have animal products to be delicious.

You can order custom cakes for special occasions, and they veganised one of my favourite cakes, which I loved before I became vegan.

I have been told that you can also privately hire the intimate cafe for an evening three-course meal.

Pros: Delicious cakes, Friendly, welcoming staff, Fresh, clean decor

Cons: Can get busy (maybe call ahead) , I overspend because I want it all, I wish it were closer to my home

Great little spot

We tried here for the first time today. We just went for hot drinks and cake which were delicious!

The savoury dishes that other diners were eating also looked fabulous. Will have to return to try some out!

The space is small so just be prepared for that if going at a busy time.

Great to be able to support an independent fully vegan business.

The best

This place is incredible. Such good bakery items, so many different drinks and the owners and staff are great too.
The only change I'd make is to move it closer to my house!

Exceedingly yummy.

Came here for lots of sandwiches to takeaway. They do takeaway. We tried several sandwiches, all day breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious, no egg and cress was equally delicious, coronation chicken very yummy and ploughmans hit the spot.

Each sandwich came with salad and crisps. Overall favourite is the all day breakfast sandwich though. I don't know what ketchup they used but it was so yummy and the hash browns were just the icing on the cake.

The staff were so polite and kind and good value! The sandwiches are packed full of fillings.

I wasn't eating in but the short time I spent inside, the cafe was very pleasant with comfy seats and calm atmosphere.

Wonderful vegan cafe 💚

I love this cafe! We visited a few months ago and had a delicious brunch and got some cakes to take away which were also delicious. It’s run by the loveliest father-daughter duo and you must visit if in the area!

Great coffee shop

It’s been well over a year since Plant Face Coffee Shop opened its doors and I’ve loved every minute spent here! It’s great to have a local cafe, it’s even better to have one that produces such brilliant food. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by to try their breakfasts (till 12), lunches and their cakes.

Happiness on a plate

This little vegan cafe is run by a father and daughter. They are so friendly and I’ve often had some great chats with both of them, particularly Steve, about veganism.

Their food is really yummy (I particularly like the pancake stake that really needs 2 people to finish!)

..and as for their homemade cakes..wow! Jammy dodger is one of my faves!

They also have delicious smoothies, breakfasts, lunch and my other fave meal in there is when the summer finally gets here and they have their poke bowls.

The last Friday of every month they have ‘phish and chips’ - book ahead as it’s really popular!

It’s one of our ‘go to’ places..enjoy!

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Awesome vibe

Beautifully bijou

Tiny from the outside but the space inside has been worked really well to house six tables and window seating. Creative menu and very friendly service. Toilet facilities are outside round the back.
The vish finger sandwich on seeded bread with side salad and crisps was delicious. My companion enjoyed their coronation ch*cken sandwich also on seeded bread with the same accompaniments as mine. I had a cream soda, not seen that offered in other vegan cafes so had to be done, and B had fresh oj.
Loved it here and will definitely come again when in the area.

One of the best vegan spots EVER

We have used happy cow to find amazing vegan spots all over the world and this little cafe local to us is one of the best of the lot! Everything on the menu is delicious, flavourful, fresh and generous portions. The cakes and bakes are the best we've ever come across: we can't leave without a selection to take home. Their coffee is consistently excellent and beautiful too. Every member of staff is friendly, attentive, patient and warm. The vibe is cozy and comfortable. It's dog friendly. Cannot recommend this absolute gem enough!!

Pros: Best vegan bakes we've ever tried , Best coffee for miles, Warm, friendly and amenable service

Cons: They're just too good so the tables fill up fast!

The dream cafe

If I could spend all my life here I would. The Geary’s have created this home away from home, filled with delicacies and spoofs which are just incredible. With the addition of a specials board, there is always something to try! Great for a snack, coffee and cake, breakfast and lunch!

Pros: 100% vegan, Pet friendly, Caring service

So much more than just the best coffee shop in Essex!

They do sell coffee, obviously, but the food here is truly outstanding. Breakfasts, lunches, cakes, sandwiches, they do it all. The range of food is amazing considering it’s such a small place

Pros: It’s all vegan, You’ll struggle to choose what to have , Everything is freshly made on site

Cons: Not open in the evening

My favourite coffee shop

My partner and I absolutely adore this vegan haven. The food is delicious, we especially enjoyed the 'Egg n cress' sandwich and the chocolate treats! They make fresh bakery treats everyday and are always filled with new exciting ideas. The oat latte and hot chocolate. The staff are super friendly, so warm and welcoming. I am sure you will love this coffee shops as much as us. Great prices!

Pros: Vegan food, Friendly staff, Cheap

One of the best vegan cafes in Essex!

This is one of my favourite cafes that I visit regularly. The food is amazing, I have tried most of the breakfast items now and they are all incredible and the price is also amazing! Harriet and her dad are also super lovely people and are always chatty and lovely! If you are in the area this is a must visit.

P.s. don't be put off by the parking as there is a bunch around the shop (Castle lane has free parking).

Pros: Delicious food, Amazing price, Lovely staff

Amazing!

Was looking for a place with a decent vegan brekkie on our family visit to Leigh-on-sea and found them. We didn’t know brekkie is only served till 12 and arrived a tad late but was able to still have breakfast. The owners are a Father - Daughter duo and are truly amazing in all aspects, the food was great tasting, good portions and really decently priced! Love how they are not charging an arm and a leg for a meal like some vegan places do - this is despite the fact that they are a small cafe and could surely use the help so make sure you give them a tip!
Cant fault a single thing and we will be coming back.

Ps: snickers smoothie is amazing - not the junk food kinda but a healthy satisfying one!

Pros: Kind and attentive owners , Amazing food with great prices , Healthy plant based ingredients

We ❤️ plant faced! The team are always friendly and welcoming, the menu is solid and all the food in amazing but these guys really come into their own with their baked goods 😍, parking just out the front and round the corner for take out treat with a view.

Pros: Reasonable pricing , Friendly and Welcoming , Parking very near by
