Perfect vegan food and ambiance

Lovely lovely cafe with a friendly welcome and a bit of gorgeous quirkiness to it. Love the layout and the little nooks and crannies. A shelf of books and games. And the Herb Big Breakfast and Breakfast Burrito were AMAZING. I don't think we need to eat for 3 days!

Pros: All vegan and a friendly place.

Cons: None

Prepare to drool 🤤

Just moved to Lancaster, went to the Herb for brunch with my partner. There was so much choice we got things to share!!! We went for the savoury breakfast stack - absolutely delish - and the sweet caramel and chocolate pancakes!! They also do a selection of home made cakes; I’m currently snacking on the cappuccino cake I got to go. (I’ve not yet had a vegan cake that’s not been dry - this is lovely and moist and full of flavour).
I’ll definitely be going back to check out lunch menu and for more coffee and cake 👏 Defo recommend this place for not only the food but the homely, serene and calm atmosphere ☀️

Pros: All vegan/plant based food , Welcoming atmosphere , Takeout available

So nice you don’t have to ask what the vegan options are as it all is!!!

Had the big breakfast a couple of times now and it gets better each time, so happy we have somewhere we can go eat and it’s as good as what we cook at home!

Pros: Everything is vegan, Great customer service, Lovely food

Cons: Quite expensive

A fantastic find in Lancaster
We shared three bowls, artichoke now, Greek salad and a med lunch.
All three were super tasty and healthy, homemade vegan cheese rocked.
Cake was delish.

Pros: 100%, Staff, Healthy

loveliness itself

A witty and lovely reclamation of what used to be a hunting-shooting-fishing shop as a vegan haven. The food is inventive and delicious - beautiful cakes, light meals and soups. The atmosphere is chilled and welcoming; it's rare to find a public space so calm. They also run film events and yoga classes in different spaces in this lovely ramshackle building. It's a fabulous place.

Pros: atmosphere, great food, lovely staff

New favourite place to go

It has such a nice vibe in this place. Everything feels rustic and homely. The tables are nice and big so I’d like to go here to study. The plates and cups are all in a nice style that suits the feel of the place well. They even have a “snug” area with low-down sofas, cushions and books. I’ve added pictures for people to see! Everything is vegan here so it’s nice to not worry about what you’re ordering. The cake I had was SO good too! Can’t wait to visit again 😊

Pros: Everything is vegan!, Cosy atmosphere, Quiet, relaxing music on in the background

Lovely tea, coffee and cakes

Made my first visit to The Herbarium this week for a catch up with my sister in law. We thought it was lovely here. Nice relaxed atmosphere, and bright and cozy on a dark winters afternoon. The choice of drinks was excellent, and the blood orange tea, and the earlgrey tea were good. I also had a cappuccino with coconut milk, also good. We got the last piece of carrot cake, no wonder, as it was moist and fruity and really tasty. We'll definitely be back here.

Pros: Great cakes and nice friendly staff, Good choice of drinks and milks, Nice overall relaxed atmosphere.

Cons: Cups a bit on the small side.

Best vegan spot in Lancaster

I would highly recommend any vegan (and non-vegan) to come to this cafe/restaurant if you're in Lancaster. The food tasted incredible, the drinks menu was extensive and the decor/style/vibe was so pretty. The staff were lovely as well.

Lovely little cafe

Very tasty and hearty freshly made lunches. Excellent bread. Devine hot chocolate. Relaxing, welcoming and safe space with snug to rear; basically furnished and fitted with beautiful chunky crockery and the odd wobbly table. Reasonably priced. Central location.

Lovely lunch

Came with my son and daughter and we had a lovely lunch - sandwiches for them and a lovely courgette and sweetcorn fritter (GF and delicious). The lavender tea was surprisingly tasty as was the Moroccan mint. Fab atmosphere - relaxed and comfy.
