Great vegan bento bowl

Fabulous vegan bento bowl. Menu is about 50% vegan hence I can’t give this 5 stars, but there’s loads of choice for vegans which is so nice!

Pros: Great choice, Fresh and tasty food

Delicious !

Stumbled across this place on Boxing Day. Got the spicy bean baked potato, a roti and soup of the day. Really good and friendly staff. Would go back!

Served dairy on 2 vegan dishes

Not very happy - we ordered two starters which were labeled as vegan (the only ones). They both came with dairy on. The first one they took back before we had eaten some, but the second we had eaten a few bites before finding the white yoghurt dressing.
They had assured us it was vegan, but when we asked again they checked with the chef who confirmed it was NOT vegan.

The rest of the food was very spicy.
We got 50% off the meal, but overall very disappointing.
The menu states vegan, but is clearly wrong.

Pros: Portions were big I guess

Cons: Served non vegan food , Vegan items wrong on menu, Very spicy throughout

Top,top Indian.

Large range of Vegan dishes, beautifully presented by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The food was faultless and interesting. The Bhel Puri was sensational. Possibly the best Indian I've ever had. 5 stars, if I could.

Vegan Indian Breakfast

We loved this little place. The food tasted fantastic and it was so nice to see so many vegan options in Buxton. My favourite part was the camping atmosphere and shelves of games to play. It’s nice to see they’re beginning to do events now too e.g. games night. The chai was amazing!

Pros: Games to play , Small and comforting , Good vegan options

Not as many vegan options as before

Used to come here all the time, was always so excited for the vegan cakes and pastries (sometimes I had two!!). But recently there was less vegan options, and when I went in today there were only two (a blueberry scone and one of the 4 cakes). Everything else had eggs and dairy in it; felt more like your standard café.

Pros: Good savoury options, Lots of vegan hot drinks, Allergens listed prominently

Cons: Barely any vegan cakes and pastries any more

Best baked potato!

Small, busy café with labelled vegan options. I had baked potato with chickpea curry - possibly the best baked potato I’ve had ever! The salad garnish was crisp and fresh. I also ordered matcha & kale smoothie made with oat milk (usually made with orange juice that has added sugar). The smoothie was actually a frozen mango base, it didn’t even look green, and was too sweet for my palette. Our server brought me green tea instead and didn’t charge me for either.

Pros: Fresh, tasty, good quality food, Accommodating staff

Cons: Frozen smoothie mixes, Orange juice with added sugar!

Amazing fair price breakfast

The vegan breakfast was amazing! It was only £7.50 and the portion was huge. It was incredibly flavourful and put a unique Indian twist on normal vegan full English

The cafe is also beautiful!

Pros: Good value , Great food

Great atmosphere

I really loved the decorations in this cafe. Very unique and pretty! The staff were friendly and chatty, and we enjoyed the drinks and food. They have some unusual options like the beetroot vanilla latte and a vegan blueberry scone… Lovely. Would recommend.
P.S. if you can’t handle a lot of spice talk to the staff before you order - my friends both found their food too spicy.

Pros: Very staff, Lovely surroundings , Great food

Scrambled tofu!

Lovely they have vegan English breakfast here with scrambled tofu! The sausages were the best we have eaten until now!

The scrambled tofu could be seasoned better with f.i. cumin, soy sauce, garlic- and onion powder. Kala Mak salt would be option too.

But the staff was very friendly and we had a good time which is also important!

Delicious flavourful food

I visited the chakra lounge back in August 2020 and the food was tasty! It was also really well priced, and the staff were super lovely. The restaurant itself is also really nice, especially the bench at the front with the lights and water feature (definitely insta-worthy!)

Pros: Good vegan options, Tasty food, Well priced
