"Cool Place"   My Rating

	Review: Funky cafe bar restaurant serving great beers and veggie food in the centre of Nottingham. Good vegan choice and plenty of variety for all tastes. Can get a bit cramped (we had to have our vegan breakfast sitting at the bar) but the atmosphere was still great. They've got a great web site which makes the place look better than it actually is (a bit like Biosfera in Warsaw) but that's no criticism. I would highly recommend this place if you happen to be in Nottingham.   Pros: food * beers * Cons: size * *

"What's all the complaining?!?"   My Rating

	Review: I honestly do not understand the complaints about this place, they serve amazing food, the Happy Hemp burger is soo good!! and Huge! i often can't finish one; you get potato wedges and Alley's salsa included in the price. As for it being small, it is called the 'alley cafe', it doesnt claim to be a restaurant. Also, if you dont like waiting around for your food, i'd recomend phoning them before you get there to order it early as you could be waiting up to 45 minutes when you get there (although it's made fresh!). I often order it half an hour before i get there and it's always ready on time! I dont know many place that let you do that. The pizza is also very very nice! You need to make sure you ask for vegan cheese though as it comes with Vegetarian cheese normally. i go here all the time, i do admit it's pricey but if you want good food then you'll be willing to pay it. I love the Alley Cafe!   Pros: amazing food * non smoking * wide variety Cons: * *

"I agree with Skinnydog"   My Rating

	Review: If your idea of ethical is buying ingredients from ASDA, your idea of a fresh fruit smoothie is concentrated tetrapac juice blended with ice, jam and a few frozen berries, and your idea of a salad is masses of iceberg lettuce, dried-out cucumber and grated carrot, you'll love it here. It's always busy though, due to the central location and the lack of any other veggie places nearby.   Pros: Easy to get to by bus/train * Lots of vegan options * Cons: prentends to be ethical * Everything microwaved * Unfriendly, 'cool' atmosphere

	Review: Limited space taken up by \"cool\" people with one drink. Food use to be great for vegans but isn't as good now. Maybe us food loving vegans should just leave it to the posers who don't want to eat anyway   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"I'm so surprised..."   My Rating

	Review: I honestly thought everyone would love this place as much as me. Yes, you do have to wait a while for your food, but I have always found it to be worth the wait. The staff are always, in my experience, friendly and polite, greeting you when you arrive and making sure to say goodbye. My particular favourites are the sandwich with the artichoke, any of he burgers but especially the hemp burger, garlic bread with caramelised onions and the sweet potato cakes. I always have a fresh fruit cocktail, and have never noticed them to include any ice! I go there whenever I want lunch in town.   Pros: good value * good drink choice * Cons: waiting time * crowded *

"Alley Cafe, Nottingham"   My Rating
166 Stevie	Posted on: Tuesday, August 07, 2007
	Review: Lot's of good things about this place. Firstly if you are vegan vegetarian then over 90% of the menu is for you. Vegan veggie items are clearly marked. They also offer products that are locally sourced, organic, fair trade and if you so desire gluten free. Staff were very pleasant when I was there. With the ban on smoking in indoor public places with this place is now smoke free.   Pros: Nearly all vegan veggie * Helpful staff * Cons: Closed Sundays * *

	Review: Went for a sandwich here. I thought that the one with brie, grapes and blueberry jam sounded great. When it came (after over 30 mins wait!), it looked huge on the plate, but on closer inspection it consisted of thick sliced bread packed with iceberg lettuce, grated carrot, supermarket tomatoes and cucumber, along with about 4 grapes cut in half, a thin spread of jam, and 3 tiny slivers of brie. Not exactly good value, at over £3!   Pros: city centre * fair-trade coffee * Cons: poor value * long wait for food * noisy and hectic
