Review: This is a place with a great vibe which often has a special event going on in addition to their normal hours, such as raw food pot luck, world food day celebrations, films & talks etc. On saturdays there is also organic/local food stall outside.
Although described as vegetarian it is 99% vegan, as the only non-vegan item they use (at the time of writing) is cows milk option for tea, coffee etc.
Menu can be a bit limited, but they are always happy to try to do you something special and are open to suggestions & offers of help. New, improved opening hours are Wed to Sat from 10am, with internet access available.
Run as a "not for profit" with the help of friendly volunteers and has been going (with ups & downs) for well over ten years.
Pros: bright & clean * much local food * lots going on, 99% vegan
Cons: sometimes limited menu * on noisy main road * |
