- To avoid for vegans
I had read the reviews before visiting and I expected the cafe to have improved since they seemed to receive plenty of constructive criticism in the past. This cafe was ageing but nothing that bad. It won't poison them to replace their sticky menu, though, it's really a bit gross by now to be honest. Anyways, the waitress (and maybe the owner, I don't know) spoke impeccable English, that was nice. I asked about the pizzas, if there were any vegan cheese available maybe? (The pizzas were "suitable for vegetarians" which was an odd sentence in a menu of an all-vegetarian restaurant.) I was assured that, sure, the cheese was vegan and consequently the pizzas were as well. So fortunately I had read the reviews below beforehand; hence I wasn't content with this assertion and asked again more specifically. The waitress indeed gave my question a thought for few seconds. Then she admitted that she confuses the words "vegan" and "vegetarian" sometimes. Seriously, WTF? So next I asked about the dish that was indicated as 'vegan wrap'. Cheese was listed among the ingredients. So this was vegan cheese then, right? Guess what, it was real cheese. However, I was offered to get the wraps without the cheese. Very well then. I ordered their draught beer without asking if it was vegan or not, I wasn't in the mood for asking questions anymore. The so-called wraps turned out to be tacos. There is nothing inherently wrong with tacos, yet it was another surprise. They tasted quite alright, no major complaints. The beer (which was served in a frozen jug - nice!) was, sad to say, fair to middling. Initially I wanted to ask if there were any vegan desserts on display, but since the waitress had lost any interest in me after I had finished eating and rather sorted books unnecessarily for 15 minutes (!) I had second thoughts. As much as I want to give this venue a better rating, since I love the many book they have there and furthermore the service was very friendly, I simply can't. They WiFi connection was good though. Updated from previous review on 2016-11-18
