Delicious, creative and comforting - Edit
The best meal I've ever had! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lovely and staff were wonderful. I've been a few times and will most definitely be going back. On this occasion I had the risotto and cheesecake which were amazing. I can't recommend Blonde Beet enough.

Love this place! - Edit
I have been enjoying going to the Blonde Beet cafe for several years now and it's a real jewel and unique community space that we are so fortunate to have in Stamford.
Read moreThe menu is always varied with exciting plant based options which change frequently, are really delicious, fairly priced and have sustainable roots - win, win!
The cakes are really hard to resist too.
The location is great, tucked off down a little alley at the end of the high street, with seating outside amongst plants in a little courtyard and the majority of indoor seating upstairs in a beautiful old-beamed room, often with local artists work on the walls.
The Friday Bistro nights are always special, with the atmosphere always welcoming, friendly and comfortable. I always find the Blonde Beet somewhere I'm happy to go on my own, as the staff never fail to welcome me with a smile or have a quick chat.
There are generally a range of interesting events, courses or groups happening each month too, often along the lines of cookery, art, crafts or sustainability.
Pros: Excellent food, Always friendly staff, Great vibe

Lovely food in a lovely setting - Edit
Really enjoyed our visit to the Blonde Beet. The food was delicious and inventive. Not a beyond burger in sight. All the staff were really friendly and the food was reasonably priced. Will definitely return!

Gorgeous food, staff and surroundings! - Edit
Tucked away in old stone building with beams, in the centre of Stamford. Licensed cafe that also opens on a Friday night. Locally sourced, seasonal, sustainable, organic, vegan ingredients. The food is really tasty and not just "the usual" stuff. The staff are friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is great. They even welcomed our little dog Maggie and made a real fuss of her. Thank you all!

Delicious simple food in a lovely setting - Edit
We had a lovely lunch here during our trip to Stamford. We opted for the soup of the day with bread and the daily special salads. Everything was delicious and the service was great. It’s a really cute building with lots of character. If we lived here we would definitely become regulars!

Such a good little vegan friendly cafe, great find! - Edit
We were so happy to find this cafe as the food was just so delicious! We had a tea, coffee and hot choc, all with oat milk (as standard which is awesome)
Read moreMe and my little girl shared an orange and walnut cake and a chocolate cookie.. both were divine and we will be back for more to take home as only here for the weekend. Her dad had a curried chickpea dish, generous portion and gorgeous!
When in the area again we will absolutely be back, we all loved it. 3 happy vegans 😄
Pros: Fresh food, Delicious everything!
Cons: Not a lot of choice... but that's about it

Great fresh plant-based cafe with salads, hot foods, pies, tarts and cakes! Delicious and a great price, and so nice to see local produce being used!

Gem 💎 - Edit
Jo has created a space that is delightful. Every little detail is well thought through, sustainable and inline with her passion for local produce, plant based and sustainability with minimal waste. Jo”s food is amazing. Creative, healthy, packed with taste and affordable with a flare for local suppliers and a real community feel. This is a do not miss hidden gem although newly opened has been in the making for a long time. Can’t express how delighted to have a plant based bistro locally.

Amazing - Edit
When I heard we were going to get a plant based cafe in town I was beyond excited. Stamford is not great for good vegan options and The Blonde Beet is changing that.
Read moreI've tried a couple of their cakes, a tartlet, and shared two of their mains with a friend (across 3 different visits). Everything has been absolutely delicious. Full of flavour, made with real ingredients and clearly prepared with love.
The menu changes regularly to minimise food waste and encourage local and seasonal eating. Which means you'll never get bored with what's on offer.
The venue is also absolutely gorgeous. Exposed beams, eclectic furniture, but all with a fresh and modern feel.
A fantastic addition to the Stamford food scene.
