Fantastic options and innovative cafe - Edit
This place was really cool. They had so many vegan and veggie options. Their scrambled egg was quite like any other I’ve tried and it was made from chickpeas! First time was amazing, second time a little salty for my liking but still great. Their vegan sausages were also amazing. They also offer their own homemade vegan clotted cream called Flotted Cream.

A little gem - Edit
Stumbled on this cafe whilst visiting Lyndhurst during a holiday to New Forest. What a pleasant surprise. Although they serve meat dishes, I got the sense they give equal status to their vegan and vegetarian menus, and similarly for their gluten free customers. I had the vegan beetroot burger from the specials board which was thoroughly delicious. The courgette and lemon cake to follow was sublime, and their coffee is of a very high standard. I enjoyed the food and service so much I went back the following morning and had the vegan breakfast to set me up for the long motorbike journey home. I only wish I'd discovered the Greenwood Tree earlier in my stay. Highly recommended.

Best vegan cream tea - Edit
There is a separate vegan/gluten free menu with loads of choices. They make their own plant based clotted cream and the scones are to die for! It was very busy when we arrived, we were advised of possible 30 min wait for food. Drinks came within 5 mins and food within 10 mins.

Fantastic vegan menu - Edit
We were only in town for lunch, but I wanted every single thing on the menu, it ALL looks/sounds amazing.
Read moreI ended up having the vegan sausage and scrambled 'egg' ciabatta, and then followed it up with vegan American style pancakes, maple syrup, and vegan whipped cream, and it was all amazing. I love 2.5 hours away but I'm definitely going to have to come back at some point to finish off the menu.
Pros: Huge vegan range , Proper, thick pancakes

Great vegan options and delicious! - Edit
Highly recommend this lovely cafe. It has a separate vegan menu with lots of choice from a burger, dirty fries, cream tea, Sandwiches, pancakes, breakfast and more. The staff were lovely. I had a cheese and tomato toastie and shared some pancakes - both delicious! I hope to go back. I would give 5 stars, if possible.

Well worth 5* for the Vegan choices - Edit
We have been looking high and low for a decent cream tea and always the clotted cream replacement has let it down, not anymore. The Greenwood Tree has the best Flotted Cream I ever tasted. It has a great consistency, flavour and colour. Wow!

Really warm and friendly cafe with a separate vegan menu. Does all day breakfast items, sandwiches, wraps, panini, nachos, jacket potatoes, pancakes and specials too such as pasta dishes. Also serves vegan cream teas with their home made vegan cream. The food we ordered (pictured) was delicious and we’d definitely visit again!

Fabulous vegan menu - Edit
We stayed in Lyndhurst for two days and ate breakfast at The Greenwood Tree both mornings. Delicious vegan full English with a tasty sweetcorn fritter alternative if you didn't fancy the sausage. Friendly service and an extensive range of vegan options for lunch too. We also had their famous vegan scones, a cheesy savory one and a fruit scone with jam and "flotted" cream. The best vegan scone I have ever eaten! I highly recommend this place.

I GET IT NOW - Edit
Personally, I never cared for the age-old debate of “Scone” or “Scone”; I’ve always upheld the belief that “WHO CARES HOW IT’S PRONOUNCED?! SCONES ARE RUBBISH!” They’re dry and flavourless, regardless of how much cream and jam you put on (sidebar: passionately arguing about which is spread first is a sure-fire way of letting everyone know that you’re the world’s most boring human).
Read moreCut to July 8th, 2023, when a friendly vegan-coded cafe in a small leafy town changed my life forever. The strawberry and cream fudge scone made me feel nostalgic for a time I’d never had: it was perfectly moist, gorgeously flavourful and a really good size. After I’d chowed down every delicious bite, I wiped a tear from my cheek and ran back into the world to make amends to all the people I’d judged (except those jam or cream losers).
I think it’s important that we admit our past mistakes; that’s how we learn and grow as humans. If not for The Greenwood Tree cafe, I doubt I’d be the man I am today: a man who’s proud to admit that he liked a scone that one time. Thank you everyone.
P.S: my panini was good too

Good range of options - Edit
Went here every day we were on holiday. Lots of choice. Had the vegan breakfast, afternoon tea with their famous flotted cream, some cake and tried their feta ciabatta and vegan black pudding terrine from the specials menu. All tasty. Great flat white coffee too. Feels like they have put a lot of effort in to trying to make a menu with interesting choices. Cake choices change from day to day. One day had one option, the next had several.

Amazing vegan cream tea! - Edit
Visited March ‘23 – based on a recommendation we saw online – to try the vegan cream tea and have some lunch (we booked in advance). The Greenwood Tree has become known for its vg ‘Flotted’ cream, which they also sell separately. I thought it was delicious. It has a looser consistency than typical clotted cream, but has that perfect, almost savoury taste which pairs well with the sweetness of the jam. The scone was perfect. I also had a vg mozzarella pesto toasted sandwich which was delicious and gooey. Highly recommend a visit here! ☺️

A must-visit - Edit
Love it here so much. On our first visit, the staff even gave us a vegan scone with clotted cream to try for free because they wanted to make sure they had the recipe just right (needless to say, it was amazing). We’ve enjoyed everything we’ve eaten here but the highlight for me was the dark chocolate and raspberry scone. Would be five stars if they didn’t serve dead animals 😄

Really good vegan options - Edit
For a cafe catering for a variety of diets the Greenwood Tree has really thought about its vegan menu. So often places that are not fully vegan provide plant based food as a bit of an after thought - but not here.
Read moreWe had Dirty Fries (3 bean chilli and cheeze on top) delicious! Then for pud flavoured scones (orange choc and mincemeat ) with their own vegan clotted cream. The cream is fabulous!
Will be going back soon….. #Veganuary

Great vegan options - Edit
We went twice in two days! First for breakfast, which was good and came from its own vegan menu. Then we went back for the vegan cream tea, which was epic! It comes with its own vegan clotted cream, which is really delicious. They also had a range of vegan cakes and vegan specials. They are also dog friendly and not far from the village car park. They were warm and friendly.
