Guaranteed nourishment - Edit
There’s a wide choice, something for everyone’s appetite and budget.. you can go with a number of people and all find something delicious to eat.
Read moreQueue at the counter, choose, order, pay, take a seat, no hierarchy, the same for everyone. The staff give you their undivided attention and take their time serving each person.
I had a vegan lentil samosa with quinoa salad and a shredded carrot with chickpea.

Converted a meaty sceptic! - Edit
I love this place and have visited multiple times. I’m vegan and it was my first visit with my carnivore bf. I had the vegan pizza with salads. He had the vegan spring roll, but I couldn’t tempt him with the greenery. Both meals were delicious! I even got him eating my salad! We ended it by sharing a piece of chocolate cake. Heaven! Really good value for money. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Feel Good Food - Edit
Always Bustling When I've Visited.
Read moreDecent Variety Of Vegan Options Which Are Fresh And Delicious.
Plenty Of Drinks To Choose From; The Warm Spiced Apple Is Especially Awesome!
The Staff Are Usually Friendly And Super Helpful.
The Last Time I Visited I Noticed Some Of One Food Being Accidently Dropped Into Another Whilst Being Dished Up Which Was A Little Off Putting As Not All Foods Are Vegan; Although It Was The First Time I've Seen It.
I Recommend The Cakes For Sure!
The Portion Sizes Are Generous And Are Reasonably Priced.
Outdoor Seating Is Lovely And Very Aesthetic.
Lots Of Local Information Available On The Walk/Queue In.
A Pleasure To Eat-In; I've Yet To Takeaway Which Would Be Nice On A Sunny Day.

Okay vegan deli - Edit
They have a range of options, but are quite similar to regular British pub grub. We weren’t blown away, but it’s a good option for vegans visiting Glastonbury.

Excellent vegan and vegetarian options - Edit
We had been here three times in recent years and each time it was excellent. This time the three of us had the Falafel Platter, the Sunday (Mushroom based) Roast, and the Filo Pastry. All were delicious and freshly prepared. Pricing was in the range £11 to £13 each. We got in just before the rush at 13:00.

One of the best - Edit
I’ve been eating here for most of my life and it’s always been consistently excellent.
Read moreThere’s always a good range of vegan soups, mains, salads and cakes. My favourites are their two flans; mushroom & cashew nut and roasted red pepper & sweet potato. A must if you happen to be in Glastonbury.
*They do accept card payments (the listing says cash only).
Pros: Superb food, Lovely outdoor space, Friendly service

Open on Sundays! And one of the best places for food. - Edit
The food they serve is really unique, very delicious, and really healthy, nourishing and high-quality. Rather than providing a set menu, they allow you to make up your plate with different options from a wide variety of dishes provided from a display counter. You can make your plate up completely yourself, with whatever you want, or chose to tailor a plate from example options. The food, and vegan options, are more varied than in other places, you really have a great selection of really thoughtful food. They also provide fairly big portion sizes at a really affordable price, which shows they care about the customer and the food standard, and not profits.

Best salads I’ve ever had! - Edit
Went here every day we stayed in Glastonbury the salads were amazing. Cake was really nice, shame lots of things aren’t vegan some of which easily could be. Doesn’t do breakfasts which is a shame as we loved it but meant we had very healthy filling brunches instead.
Read morePros: Friendly staff , Salads
Cons: Doesn’t do breakfast

Good quality and tasty food - Edit
You can tell that this establishment has been around since forever - when we visited (June 2021), there was a queue out the door.
Read moreIt was with the wait, as they had a delicious vegan chocolate cake. I had a piece the size of my head. For mains, I had the casserole - well cooked with good ingredients. My wife had the samosa and salad which she enjoyed.
Pros: Well established place, Good quality food, Nice garden area
Cons: Queue (but worth the wait)

A Few Vegan Options - Edit
Our first impression of this place wasn’t the greatest as the lady serving ignored me initially. Then didn’t raise a smile when we started to order however as we started to ask about the food and ordered she appeared to warm up. I had the falafels, hummus, salad, olives and pita bread. It was quite pricey at £8.95 but a big portion. There were plenty of tables inside but it was just lovely outside so well worth sitting out there. There weren’t too many vegan options so I’d probably try somewhere else if we were back in Glastonbury.

Delicious salads, helpful staff - Edit
Our first cafe visit post-lockdown. Very good system and impeccably clean. Distanced queueing up to the bar where staff clearly explain vegan options and serve you. Pay at at the bar and go find a seat - we enjoyed the stunning garden!
Read moreLovely food selection - recommend the hummus and the beetroot fennel and apple salad.
As well as salads, jacket potatoes, falafels etc there are lots of savoury specials. We loved the giant cashew nut spring roll
Pros: Lots of options, Calm pleasant atmosphere, Good prices

Popular Veggie Restaurant - Edit
There are plenty of salads and the food is pretty healthy at Rainbow which is great. Rainbow does have vegan options but they feel a bit dated - mezze; jacket potato with more hummus than you can eat. The specials are good but can be sold out if you get there a bit late and not all of them are vegan anyway. There isn't much choice of vegan cake.
Read morePros: Nice salads, Tasty food
Cons: Vegan options could be improved

Used to be better. - Edit
We used to love eating here, but it all feels a little tired lately.
Read moreBought a piece of cake and thought blimey, that's huge for the price - until, when tucking into it we found huge lumps of margarine which hadn't been mixed into the icing properly. It used to be one of the best places around for vegan food, if not the best. However, now there is so much more competition everywhere, it feels like Rainbows End is becoming a little out of touch.

Home-cooked food in the garden. - Edit
My sister and I have been coming to this vegetarian/vegan café in the middle of Glastonbury for twenty years now. We love to sit out in the back garden in summer and enjoy the chilled-out vibe and the generous portions of homemade food with fresh and interesting salads.
