A must visit if you are in Lancaster - Edit
Fantastic choice of dishes and really enjoyed being spoilt for choice in a restaurant/café for a change. It's great to know that everything on the menu is vegan.
Read moreMy wife and I dropped in for lunch and she ordered the the mashed edamme beans and pea on sourdough toast with a side of roasted tomatoes with garlic and I had hummus on sourdough toast with a side of mushrooms ( I know some will say hummus is a boring choice but it was homemade and fantastic).
Overall I can't recommend this place highly enough, the food was absolutely superb and the place itself a really nice place to relax. We will definitely be going back soon and I recommend you do too.
Pros: Fantastic menu, Entirely vegan menu , Reasonably priced menu
Cons: None

It was so good that when we visited Lancaster again the following day we were sure to visit again for lunch. This time I had the Herbarium salad bowl and it was amazing, full of great flavours and textures, just perfect.

Delicious - Edit
The Shakshuka was absolutely delicious. My mum loved her hot chocolate too. Our only gripe was the chips needed cooking slightly more. We would definitely come back, I want to try the lemon and blueberry loaf!

Favourite cafe in Lancaster - Edit
A favourite spot for relaxing or getting a bit of work done (WiFi available). A range of spaces means that even on busy days you can usually find a quietish corner. There’s a relaxed cosy atmosphere and staff are always friendly. Children and dogs welcomed.
Read moreGreat range of hot drinks with a choice of plant-based milks, I love the hot chocolate. There’s usually a good choice of cakes, including a very popular lemon and blueberry loaf cake.
The food menu has a good range of staples (hummus, mushrooms on toast, breakfast) with a few dishes that change to keep things interesting. The soups are always great.
The Herb also opens on a Friday and Saturday evening with a menu including burgers and cocktails. Since pretty much all of Lancaster’s good veggie options are closed in the evening, it’s a great option for eating out after dark.
Pros: Great food, all vegan, Child and dog friendly , Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff

Perfect! Wouldn't change a thing - Edit
Great food, great price, great atmosphere. Really impressed as I'd been wanting to visit for a while and wasn't disappointed. Impressed my omni friend who joined me too. Will definitely be making the effort to come in future.

Friday night, burger night - Edit
We visited on a Friday evening back in August when it was burger night. We tried the chick'n wrap and the chick'n burger. Both served with skin on chips and slaw. Both really tasty.
Read moreThe daytime menu was more varied and I'd definitely visit again if I was in Lancaster to try some of those dishes.

Delicious food - Edit
We ate here when visiting Lancaster. Food was delicious. We ate in a large room next to the main room which smelt damp and the table was really too small - these things kind of took the edge off it for us as it was a bit uncomfortable. Couldn’t fault the food though.

Very pleasant experience in nice surroundings. - Edit
Firstly the building itself is a super place. There are three rooms plus a yoga room. A delightful snug would be the best choice especially on a cold winters day. The menu was surprisingly limited in its scope and was mainly lunch snacks rather than full meals. I had a perfectly tasty Buddha bowl but felt somewhat underwhelmed by the portion size. Still fairly hungry afterwards so has a side portion of chips as well. Admittedly these were very nice and not great in any way. Fantastic selection of teas available. With a little tweaking this could be a fantastic place and experience.

Plant based dream - Edit
Going to study abroad has always been a dream and with going abroad comes new food to try out. The Herbarium has quickly become my new favorite place in the world. The staff is friendly beyond measure, the food as tasty as can be. I am going to get food here many times to come.♥️

Cool chilled vibe - Edit
This really is a great place. Food and service was excellent on our visit. Good choice on menu. The yoga studio vibe is evident throughout. It loses a star mainly because we were shuffled in to a side room - a yoga studio. Meanwhile the main area had lots of single individuals on tables for 4-6 using laptops over a coffee. Not quite the fault of the cafe though. Will definitely visit again
Read morePros: Atmosphere , Ethical, Varied and interesting menu

Must visit! - Edit
100% vegan, everything we tried was delicious. All fresh, local produce. Very friendly staff. Aesthetic interior. Our favourite dishes were the mushroom cheese toasty and the vegan breakfast. So worth a visit. N.B. they're not currently answering their phone line because of limited staffing but are still open weds-sunday. Check out their FB page for updates. ❣️

Cute cafe - Edit
I really liked the interior, and the food was tasty. The only thing was we'd popped in for brunch and I didn't feel like a heavy meal, and lighter options were on the menu as add ons. I'd have liked a sandwich or some other light bite option that was less than a fiver.

Cannot recommend the Herbarium enough. Food is beyond amazing, the atmosphere to die for and also the fact that it's a multi-purpose space with lots of events going on. Well done to the staff for such a lovely venue!

A soggy and small burrito - Edit
I ordered a burrito for lunch, but it was a bit soggy and small. The flavours were there, but it was lacking textures and it was on the small side.
