Some warming comfort hidden away in Buxton - Edit
Autumn has begun and yesterday was a little cold walking around Buxton when I found The Herb Garden.
Read moreThere were several options for food and drinks, with almost all of the options can be made vegan.
I had the soup of the day, which was homemade red pepper and tomato and was asked what spread I would prefer.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful with advising options.
Only downside is the limited seating space but what space there is feels cozy and comforting.
Pros: Great selection of food and drink, Most of the menu can be made vegan, Great price
Cons: Small table and seating area, Can be hard to find without Google maps

A Hidden Gem in Buxton - Edit
Really glad we found this cozy café! It’s got a lovely vibe, friendly staff, and loads of vegan options. I had the tofu Buddha bowl, which was delicious, and the beetroot and raspberry cake for dessert was amazing. They’ve got plant based milk options for hot drinks too. Would definitely recommend. 💚

Excellent value - Edit
We sat outside and ordered the spicy bean quesadillas (one vegan, one veggie). They were delicious with a nice side salad. Really good value for money - which is hard to find these days! Lovely staff. Would definitely visit again if I was in the area.

No complaints - Edit
We have the Indian chickpea burger which made a nice change from the fakery found elsewhere. Nice flavors without going for spicy heat. Fruit cake for dessert which was excellent. Friendly service.

Perfect hosts - Edit
My wife has a number of significant - medically relevant - allergies. Our hosts made sure that none of the allergens would be in her food choices. They presented us with a range of vegan food options. Far more choices perhaps than those selling vegan food-only. The food was fresh, delicious and served in a timely manner. Thanks again to the Herb Garden!

Fantastic Little Cafe - Edit
Absolutely delicious food. Been twice now. They also do a takeaway menu where you can take fresh or frozen food home. We brought home two mushroom pies to have at a later date. My husband was raving about them. Run by a lovely couple. This will become a firm favourite when visiting Buxton. If you have a larger appetite, you may want a starter, main and pudding. A main and pudding to share with hubby was more than enough for us though.
Read morePros: Vegan and vegetarian options, All homemade and delicious, VERY reasonably priced.

Super food, super friendly - Edit
We stumbled across this place via the A-boards and it was just perfect. Our favourite type of eatery- real people cooking real food. I had a toaster, my husband had the raspberry and white choc cake.

Buxton vegan choices - Edit
Cosy, vegan/vegetarian café in Buxton. Owners very welcoming and accommodating. We had the vegan mushroom soup with vegan butter and roll, Coronation tofu sandwich and the vegan Indian burger. All delicious and cooked to perfection. Also a very good selection of vegan cakes and vegan take-away frozen meals. A very small space but filled with love and good intentions. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Lovey Owner! - Edit
This place is so small, it's like going to someone's house.
Read moreWe had to wait outside for a while as they were full, only 4 tables?
The owner was really friendly and he's definitely proud of what he puts out :)
The spicy Indian burger actually had some spice to it, hurrah! It was delicately crispy and had a nice taste to it. Really enjoyed the side salads.
The quesidillas were great, simple and easy.
Only thing I did not like was the blueberry latte, it smelt delicious but tasted like melted down play dough... I'll go for the vanilla or cinnamon latte next time.
