Very nice but not many options

We had the vegan breakfast burger and "smashed peas" on toast with extra mushrooms. Both were delicious and decent portions! You could tell they were quality ingredients and expertly seasoned.

However they were kind of the only options on the menu for vegans (apart from vegan fry up), and not very obvious either (just one line under the non vegan version saying could be made vegan, which meant it wasn't clear what it would actually consist of). After we'd ordered the waitress did say that they make a lot of the sauces and mayos vegan by default so other things can be easily veganised but it wasn't clear which ones they would be. I reckon they'd be amenable to making something tasty if you asked for something different but I'd rather they just had their vegan options upfront and clearly described.

They also had a big section in their menu about how they'd stopped serving avocado for sustainability reasons but I feel like if they actually cared about sustainability they could have considered stopping serving beef first!

Pros: Quality ingredients , Decent portions , Beautifully cooked meals

Cons: Not many vegan options, Maybe kind of green-washing with the no avo thing, Vegan options not described properly on menu

Great vegan options

Lots of vegan options at brunch. Seasonal produce and locally sourced. Really nice place, friendly staff and good service.

Growing veggie menu

This has for a long time been a favourite cafe in York. But with the chef's/owner leadership there is a brilliant range of meals that cater to vegan and veg friendly tastes. I am partial to their Indian style meals, particularly dhal and rice.

Pros: Good range of foods, Friendly staff, Reasonable prices.

Cons: Always busy. Expect to share a table
