Amazing!

Came here on my birthday and had maybe the best baguette/sandwich ever! Super friendly, relaxing and welcoming. I wish we lived nearby! Thanks Star Anise😄

Very relaxed, casual cafe with plenty of seating areas indoors and out. Nice menu selection with vegan and veggie options for breakfast brunch and lunch and we made tasty choices!

I come here every week!

I come here pretty much every week and love their menu. Simple vegan meals with a good variety - and quite healthy too! Lovely range of desserts and daily specials that never disappoint. During covid, they provided take-out services and I collected quite a lot of bags. When asked if I could return them for reuse, they welcomed this idea and it's great to see them making these steps for sustainability (the bags and cutlery provided were also all recyclable!) All in all, a great place with tasty food and good service.

Great breakfast

Amazing vegan croissants! I had the shakshuka (sp?) and my friend (a vegetarian) had scrambled eggs with amazing roasted vegetables or something - I was basically waxing lyrical about my amazing shakshuka with tofu (you need to ask to veganise it first otherwise it’s got eggs in it - I made it once before I was vegan). Delicious coffee!

Pros: Made with love , Lots of vegan options , Friendly, helpful staff

delightful cafe

The current description here on Happy Cow does not give this gem of a cafe enough credit, it has a daily changing lunch menu on which 4 out of 5 options were vegan, there were also about 6 different vegan cookies, and 4 vegan cake options. It is pretty much 100% vegetarian other than some salmon sushi. The brunch menu was also fantastic featuring tofu scrambles as well as the classic eggs.
4 different plant based milks to choose from, and a wonderful friendly, warm vibe.
