Delicious food and very friendly staff - Edit
This is our second visit and again we are not disappointed. The food and service is spot on. The meals are really well prepared and presented and the Vegan Garlic Bread is possibly the best we have ever tasted.

A delicious lunch - Edit
We stopped off here on a long journey. The food was fantastic. I had the vegan mezze and my husband had the flatbread special. We were both delighted with the food. We found it almost impossible to choose between the amazing sounding vegan ice cream flavours so we tried 6 between us!! All were fantastic but for me the coffee one was the winner.

Simple, homely, comforting - Edit
All vegetarian with some vegan options. Lovely staff, good service. Breakfast until 11:30am. Good range of lunch items. Good selection of teas. Tasty food. Paninis don’t come with chips so have to order them on the side. Fritters as a side were lovely. Panini came with side salad and some hummus and a couple of olives which was a nice touch. I had a roast vegetable panini. Cute little nook if you time it right you can sit in it by the window. Uncomplicated but comforting menu, with some nice surprises such as the fritters or roast vegetable panini which is a bit more interesting than your standard falafel. Good cake selection but didn’t spot anything vegan
Read morePros: All vegetarian menu, Cozy and welcoming , Lots of options
Cons: Quite pricey , Have to pay for sides with panini

Great varied options. - Edit
I love it here and often visit! They have a lot of vegan items on the menu and I have always had friendly service. They always have vegan cake options which I have always found delicious. I do agree with a previous comment about wanting a burger bunbwith the burgers instead of toasted bread.

Beautiful food - Edit
The vegan food here is very well done and there's loads to choose from. I tried the pea and courgette soup, vegan rarebit and lemon poppyseed cake. All were delicious. Was sad to hear from a previous reviewer that the cafe believes veganism is too extreme.

Great place for good comfort food - Edit
Love going to this place and although the menu has lots to choose from I always end up having my favourite bean burger (note: would be even better served in a good burger bun as oppose to the toasted bread but that's me being picky). Lots of vegan options.
Read morePros: Lots to choose from and plenty of vegan options

great food - Edit
The food here is lovely and presented really well. It’s just a shame though that it’s not entirely vegan. I was quite put off to hear one of the servers agreeing with a customer about veganism being a bit extreme. There are a lot of vegan options, which is great. Hopefully one of these days they’ll ditch dairy. The cafe is massively popular so booking is recommended or you may have to wait to be seated.

Wholesome food and atmosphere - Edit
The Veggie is a lively café, buzzing atmosphere and full of fantastic vegan options. One thing I’d like to point out is the amount of ‘pick and mix’ options available, this would be a great place for someone who wants to have a little culinary adventure, but not worry about ordering an entire dish of something they find out they dislike. There’s lots of combinable dishes, mezze’s and ‘half and half’ options. I went for the half and half soup and sandwich; tasted so wholesome and nourishing, just the way I like my food, the portioning was just right too. My mum ordered the pitta and falafel which were flavoured beautifully, again; moreish, but felt so good and healthy.
Read moreThe staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant, a calm buzz about the place.
What a wholesome experience, I would jump at the opportunity to visit again, shame it’s so far away from home for me!
Pros: Healthy, freshly prepared, great menu, Lovely location, very clean, Friendly staff
Cons: Nothing!

Hot Tomato Soup - Edit
Location not great due to standing traffic jam and opposite a quality butcher's. Ilkley is a bit foodie and around the corner is a grill cafe called the Moody Cow.
Read moreLiked the spacious refurbishment but the service is too efficient for lone diners who might like to take their time to decide.
However, the tomato and sweet potato soup was delicious and reminded me of a famous non-vegan brand that I can't have now. Apart, that is, from the very hot chilli kick to it. The vegan cake was a bit too stodgy and not light and airy with no discernible lemon flavour to it. I probably will wait for a while before going again.
Pros: Nice wallpaper.
Cons: Too fussy.

Cheerful on a rainy day - Edit
It's been a while since I've been and this latest visit was a lovely surprise. The cafe has had a face lift/refurb/extension since then and it still has that lovely welcoming feel.
Read moreFood was excellent as before (really recommend the cauliflower fritters) and service was still as friendly and helpful despite the weather.
Will not leave it as long for the next visit!
Pros: Great value , Friendly staff, Lovely energy
