Lovely place and super friendly staff

Lovely place with super friendly staff. Prices are good (though portions are not that big -- I found the salad a bit disappointing). I recommend the berry blast smoothie, and the pancakes are really good too

Nice staff, not nice food

The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the cafe is very cute and nicely decorated. Unfortunately the service was very slow and it took ages for our food and drinks to arrive. The breakfast burrito was nice but the pancakes were very unpleasant. My partner and I aren’t fussy at all but neither of us wanted any more after the first bite. They had no flavour or sweetness, just like stodgy toad in the hole with hardly any topping. I thought the milkshakes were a great price but unfortunately not great either. Pretty much a glass of milk with a slight hint of biscoff.

Also our table hadn’t been cleaned in between customers and was covered in sticky sauce.

They market themselves as healthy, plant based, ‘cruelty free’ cafe that ‘promises to help the planet’. Unfortunately it seems they’ve now abandoned their ethos and they’ve started serving processed meats and dairy products. Aside from the cruelty aspect and how bad it is for our environment, bacon and sausages are group one carcinogens so definitely far from healthy.

Had high expectations of this place so I’m really disappointed as it would be lovely to have a nice plant-based café in Gloucester to visit regularly.

Nice vegan friendly cafe

A very friendly welcome at the cafe (Feb 23). Most food was vegan so lots of choice. We shared the vegan nachos and a cake afterwards. Lovely smoothie at a great price and the nachos and chilli were very tasty.

Selling animal body parts from February 2023

Started on a claim to promote the health benefits of a plant based diet, but offers cows milk to customers and will soon introduce animal flesh to menu to "cope with rising costs". Was clearly an attempt to cash in on the vegan pound. Could improve their product or service by becoming a socially responsible business instead of scaling up their animal abuse for profit.

Cons: Adding animals to menu for profit, Increasing carbon footprint, Ditched healthy eating ethos

You give vegans a bad name! I’m pretty sure you don’t always eat in 100% vegan restaurants. They still serve loads of vegan options. Lovely staff and great atmosphere

It's all factual. That's a nice apology for animal exploitation you did there.
