Good quality, good value vegan choices - Edit
Seeking vegan food late afternoon, I entered the beautiful Borough Market building and discovered The Grain. Just about everything is home made. I was served by Julie, who provided a great coffee with oat milk, a delicious all-day vegan breakfast, and a lovely vegan scone with jam for pudding, totalling less than £15. The atmosphere is great with lots of vibrancy and local character, and everyone is very friendly. It's a lovely change from the chain coffee shops and cafes in every town. I was so pleased, I returned for a breakfast-time smoothie, coffee and vegan breakfast the next day.

Great vegan breakfast - Edit
Great service & food. Lovely lady serving was very helpful and allowed me to make a bank transfer as I didn’t have cash.
Read moreThis is down as a ££ venue but would say it’s probably £, £8.50 for vegan breakfast in a town centre is a good price
Pros: Full vegan breakfast , Reasonable price
Cons: Need to take card payments , Eating area is shared with other non veggie cafes

Delicious food at reasonable prices - Edit
The Grain Cafe is set in the historic indoor market in Halifax, and - not being local - we struggled to find it at first. With the kind help of another stall-holder, we got there in the end. And we were glad we persevered in finding it.

Delish xmas dinner! - Edit
Hoped to pick up a late lunch and as they’d run out of soup the owner said if I wanted she’d make me a vegan Christmas dinner! So glad I said yes, it was really delicious- homemade mushroom & chestnut wellington and cranberry sauce along with sprouts, roasted parsnips, carrots, mash and gravy. All divine. Will be back for sure, what a gem

A Hidden Gem - Edit
Found this place completely by accident walking through the market. Completely vegetarian although it looked like most options were actually vegan. Didn’t have anything to eat as had already there but had lovely freshly made juices. The staff there are lovely and welcoming too.

I love it here - Edit
Really knowledgable owner who is passionate about the magic of our bodies should we provide it with the correct fuel. Love chatting about food with this lady, and when I have turned up feeling under the weather she’s advised me well and genuinely cares to help!

Pros: Knowledgable , Healthy, Comforting

Fresh, Homemade & Friendly - Edit
Such a Vegan & Vegetarian Gem! It's always hard to find somewhere nice to eat in Halifax that's fully Vegan/Vegetarian. The Owner was soooon Friendly and Knowledgeable, having studied Nutrition. I had Avocado on Toast which was DELIGHTFUL, AND the Bread was Homemade! My Partner had the Veg & Chickpea Curry with Rice, which he Devoured! Excellent Quality and Quantity. I will DEFINITELY be Visiting again. Highly Recommend!
