Lovely place in pontyclun

Cute coffee place with interesting decor. There is alt milk for 20p extra and a few vegan cakes and menu items. I had a vegan brownie and I thought it was a little small for the price, however it was surprisingly filling and delicious

Edit Aug 2024 - lovely vegan French toast

100% Recommend

The mixed berry pancakes were fantastic. Oat milk is available and most of their dishes can be made vegan / gluten free, just ask at the bar.

A must visit

Welcoming, easy-going atmosphere. Spacious and cosy all at once. Delicious vegan gf brekkie for us (having gf vegan sausages available would make this five star an A star!) Proper homemade beans in tomato sauce, delicious ripe avocado, perfect mushrooms, astounding shredded leeks, and loads more yumminess.
Our coffee was *chef's kiss* The best coffee I've had since one I had in a coffee shop in Ericeira. Proper barista coffee and a delicious roast.
We were just passing through the area and found the Thirsty Elephant on Happy Cow. We now wish we lived locally so we could come here as our local! Highly recommend for good food, good coffee, and friendly yet unintrusive environment.
We'll be back!

Pros: Vegans well catered, Absolutely spectacular coffee, Wonderful laid back vibe.

Cons: No gluten free vegan sausages! (Not a problem)
