Only veggie place in Derry

The place is really nice with a bohème atmosphere. The food is home made (bread included) and was delicious : a sweet potatoes burger with a side salad. The staff is lovely and they make sure to be a safe space for everybody (supportive with minorities like LGBTQ ). They also have a cooperative coffee meaning that you can buy a coffee for someone who is low on budget at the moment, or you can have a free coffee if you need it. The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that they charge you an extra to get a dairy free alternative (disappointing for a 100% veggie place) and that the drinks are not clearly labeled if they can be make vegan (some of them can’t like the hot chocolate or the chai latte as the powder they are using contains milk).

Pros: Only 100% veggie place in Derry, Lovely staff and safe space, Home made food

Cons: Extra charge for dairy alternative, Drinks not clearly labeled , A few of them are not vegan

Awesome breakfast

We had a veggie and vegan breakfast here and both were the best we've had outside of home. All cooked from scratch, perfectly seasoned, and not the usual fayre - rosti was colourful and tasty, greens and beans were perfect. Wish we had a chance to try the lunch. Staff were genuine, interesting and friendly.

Pros: Freshly made, Interesting flavours , Good portion sizes

Cons: Knives a bit weak

What a gem of a find on this day tour of mine. Good music friendly staff and such a grounded atmosphere. I had the signature burger which was so well cooked and presented. I finished with vegan chocolate cake wow beyond description

Pros: Service, Food, Athmosphere

Best health food cafe in all of Ireland

I stumbled across this place by accident and amazed to see they are doing raw organic milk kefir, with cheese and butter made from the raw kefir also. The so many high quality homemade ferments such as Kombucha, Kefir, Kimchi, Sauerkraut all made by people who are really passionate about healthy living and what they do. If you have issues with your gut this place will cure you fast.

Pros: Raw organic milk kefir, homemade Kombucha high quality, Great ambiance and staff

Vegan breakfast

I had a delicious vegan breakfast piled high with tomatoes, mushrooms, kale, potatoes, beetroot fritter and bread. I loved that there wasn’t any “meat substitute”. The decor is really quirky and cool, and the staff were friendly.

Such a good find

Came here yesterday for a bite to eat and had the vegan chilli. As someone who has coeliac disease, it is often difficult to find suitable vegan options as they have to also be gluten free, but the girl behind the toll was really helpful and was able to tell me what I could have. The coffee was really good too.
