Cute place and really nice food

Such a cute little shop with so many vegan options. Me and my mum got a range of the savoury options to try and it was all really nice. As we were entering, some people told us they were getting their samosa's as they were recommended to them by a Michelin star chef, so we also made sure to try some, and they were really delicious. The food was not too heavy or rich, which I really like. They had lots of vegan cakes. The one we tried was also really nice.

Overall really nice place. If I lived nearby, I would go back all the time

Pros: Nice food, Good value

Amazing choices

So much choice. Not everything is vegan, but the majority of it is. I opted for a lentil, spinach, and vegan feta filo parcel, chocolate and berry cake, and a tropical lassi. The only downside is the big price difference if you want to eat in.

Pros: Massive range of options, Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Big price difference to eat in

Cosy place with good food

Nice selection of vegan food with great fresh salads and good GF options.

Not your typical vegan burger style offerings (nothing wrong with those) more a freshly made unprocessed menu style.

Some very tempting GF desserts as well.

Pleasant small dining area upstairs.

Amazing Vegan Choice & Super Filling!

Looking for fully vegan places to eat in Malton, this was the nearest option I found (they use non-vegan cheese and milk but not eggs).

Centrally located and a vibrant jungle-like feel once you get inside, there’s a quiet, calming atmosphere in the intimate upstairs seating area.

They had an overwhelming selection of vegan savouries, salads and cakes! After much contemplation and seeking advice from the very knowledgeable and helpful staff, they recommended the lunch plate so I could sample a main and two salads.

We decided on the Moroccan filo with potato salad and slaw.
I had a coffee and walnut cake for dessert/pre-meal and a decaf crème brûlée latte with oat milk to drink.

The food was fresh, full of flavour and very filling! I highly recommend The Purple Carrot and it’d be great if they went 100% vegan in the near future!

Pros: Extensive range of vegan options , Friendly staff, Flavourful & filling food

Cons: Not fully vegan

Another treat!

Small, fun and lovely food, majority of it vegan. I enjoyed a gorgeous vegetable quiche and potato salad and finished with coffee and a wondrous apple strudel.

Pros: Good, Service, Ambience

Cons: Nope

Great Vegan Options!

We bought loads of vegan (substantial) snacks and cakes from here, to feed a birthday party. Everything went down very well and it’s so lovely to have somewhere that labels what it vegan and what is veggie. Will defiantly come back😄

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Now open every day :), Cafe upstairs

Amazing flavours!

This quirky little place was a great pit stop - the choice of food was a large range especially with things that you don’t often see.
There was a bit of a queue but they soon saw to us! I had the quesadilla, and I’m not one for spice but this was very enjoyable.

Pros: Lots of options, Amazing mix of flavours, Wide range of different choices

Delicious

A cute little cafe in the heart of Malton. We were fortunate enough to get a table upstairs but there is only limited seating. Though it would have been worth the wait for a table. I had the quesadilla with pink slaw and couldn’t fault it. Also got a slice of the Jaffa chocolate cake to take away which was equally delicious 😋

We love everything they make at the Purple Carrot- the food is amazing!

Amazing food, coffee, cakes and pastries all of which have unique yummy tastes and are not reproductions of meat dishes, but independently amazing dishes created from whole ingredients. We go here as often as possible and have never had anything that hasn’t tasted amazing! Personal favourites- burrito wrap, samosas, salads, cinnamon buns, apricot cake, fig muffins, delicious coffee with wide choice of milk alternatives and biodegradable cups if you take out!!

Pros: Nearly all dishes are vegan, Cakes and pastries out of this world!, Flavour of all dishes is sublime :-)

Cons: Sometimes a long queue but worth the wait!

The best vegan food I've ever eaten!

Took my meat eating family here and even they were overwhelmed by how good the food was. Everything except two dishes were vegan. Definitely worth every penny! The walnut brownie is simply to die for.

Pros: Everything., Dog friendly too.

Cons: Nothing.

Saturday lunch

I love this place. The food is all freshly prepared and full of flavour and the cakes are amazing. It's only small, which makes it feel very friendly. I will definitely be visiting again.

Pros: Tasty food , Friendly , Vegetarian and vegan
