- Very good... but could do even better
What a treat to have a fully vegan bar/cafe/restaurant open in Brixton, after already feeling spoilt with Mr Cupcake down the road. I went here on a Saturday for a late lunch. The space is really nice and there is a simple menu to choose from without having to worry about what is vegan (the joys of an all-vegan restaurant). The food was very good, very tasty, and with unique offerings such as mac and cheese and seitan wings it's worth the pilgrimage if you're not local. Now I hate having to say anything too critical, but I do expect vegan establishments to be of the same calibre as 'normal' restaurants - in that I can take my non-veg friends there and not feel bad that I am taking them somewhere sub-par. However on my visit my friend ordered the mac-and-cheese with fakin bacon, which was served to us without the bacon. We questioned this and were told they had run out. If we went to a cafe anywhere else and they just left out the bacon without advising first we would have had something to say about it. Secondly, there was only one vegan dessert choice. I would have to assume again that they had run out of other options as one choice is no better than going to any other non-vegan restaurant. The place is reasonably new - I hope that these kind of issues sort themselves out over time. It is also worth noting that the size of the meals are quite small for the price. However given the unique fare I can understand having to pay a premium. Great place overall - definitely check it out! I hope this place does really well, (maybe makes a few tweaks based on feedback) and I am looking forward to going again.
