Amazing!

Had the Moroccan Buddha Bowl, the Caprese Panini, and the Tropical Pop smoothie. All of them were delicious! Especially the falafel and hummus.

Pros: Falafel and Hummus, Cozy interior, Caprese Panini

Vegan panini!

We were very excited to find vegan caprese panini and soft serve ice cream, plus cake and milkshakes/hot chocolate, all in a 90% vegan venue (there is dairy milk available for coffee but that’s about it).

Updated from previous review on 2024-07-31

Pros: Great menu, Reassurance of knowing it’s almost all vegan, Friendly staff and service

Cons: Takeaway containers for eat-in

Good food, good price

Nice little place in central Cambridge with a range of options. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some more. Shame it’s just not quite fully vegan - I would’ve come here a lot sooner if it was

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Quick service

Cons: Could so easily be fully vegan but is not

Tasty and inexpensive

Ideal for a quick lunch! I just got the loaded fries and they were a really generous portion for less than £5.

Central cafe, worth a visit!

Loaded fries are a hit, delicious and filling, but not stodgy like some others. Staff were really friendly and approachable. We were slightly disappointed with our panini as the filling was lacking- not much falafel or spinach. Small cafe so not lots of seating, great for takeaways or a quick pit stop!

Pros: Loaded fries , Lovely staff

Cons: Not enough falafel in panini, Limited seating

We only went for coffee and cake, the vegan carrot cake is very good, the cafe is lovely and has a great setting in the park. The owners are very friendly, we would definitely go back to try more!

Something utterly different!!

Great location with easy access to the park from the main street, dog friendly, family friendly. The food was brilliant, loved the smoothie, samosas, falafel and the panini. Vegan carrot and chocolate cake were superb. Excellent service from the owner. Highly recommend. I've heard the vegan ice cream is good too.

Great

Great lunchtime vegan food.
My wife and I both had buddha bowls.
Refreshing and freshly made.
Ample portions for the price.
Smoothies were fruity and not watered down as some outlets do!

Some real cutlery would be nice when dining in?

Just opened - long they remain in Cambridge!

Pros: Fresh food, Good price

Cons: Wooden forks

The smoothest of smoothies

Pros: Fresh food, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Filling vegan salad, good coffee and vegan ice cream? Yes please!

Was visiting a friend in Cambridge and we stopped by this place during a charity shopping spree. You could tell the place was quite new but the owner and her daughter were really friendly and kind. They helped us with suggestions of what to eat, chatted with us while the food was being prepared, and even gave us a sample coffee for free as they were experimenting with a new bean. The vegan ice cream is really tasty (can't tell it's vegan at all!) and the food is really fresh. Found out their suppliers are mostly local (which is always a good thing for us sustainability-conscious consumers)! The only downside is that the seating space is quite narrow but am hoping that they open outdoor seating soon too! I know my friend is going to be back there, and I hope to visit again next time I'm in Cambridge!

Pros: Fresh food, good coffee, Decent value, Friendly staff

Friendly, delicious, fair price

Had the falafel buddha bowl, was really fresh and filling plus the smoothie which was delicious.
Boyfriend enjoyed a panini and ice-cream - don't see vegan soft serve very often!

Super friendly staff working there, and the owner is really welcoming. Much needed to fill the gap in salads and vegan choices. Will definitely be back!
