Fabulous vegan cafe - Edit
We had a fantastic lunch at Vibes today. Small cafe - it was very busy and buzzing. The food was absolutely delicious- fairly small food menu with a Middle Eastern vibe, everything vegan and freshly made, super tasty and served quickly. Good value. Really lovely and friendly staff who made it a pleasure to eat there. Definitely recommend a visit.

What a lovely place! - Edit
The owner was so friendly & kind!
Read moreThe falafel was very very good! On the warmest may ever, the iced drinks went down a treat. They can do dirty chais too! Oat, coconut, soy, almond all available at no extra charge.
All the food is vegan, only dairy milk used for coffee.

Disappointing - Edit
Ordered a mushroom shwarma, mushroom portion was almost non existent. The food was tasty but I thought it expensive for what I got.
Read moreMusic was too loud (for me anyway, but I am old and miserable so)
Sorry vibes but I won’t be going back.

Delicious Vegan Haven - Edit
I love this cafe! Great choice of food and drink, all lovingly hand made by Hamza. The Falafels are the best I've ever tasted. Everything is made to order so expect a slight wait on busy days. It's worth the wait. Yum!

It is indeed a vibe - Edit
Had a quick bite to eat here during a morning around the town. Having been from London, where vegan options are abundant and easy to get hold of, moving to dorchester has been an absolute shift, with so little emphasis on vegan variety in the local restaurants and shops.
Read moreOn entering the greeting was warm and welcoming, and when asking what they would recommend they were knowledgeable about each of their dishes, and guided me wonderfully.
I had the falafel wrap with cheeze and avocado, and during my wait I was excited to see the selection of cakes and pastries, but when I asked, I was told they were vegetarian but not vegan. I slight bummer to what was otherwise a lovely little cafe.
When I was handed my food to take away, I was told they had run out of avocado, but they did not charge me for the cheeze to make up for it which was a thoughtful gesture. The wrap itself was well seasoned, and provided a hearty lunch that was a fair value for the price. I will definitley be going back to try the rest of their vegan grub!
Pros: Staff were welcoming and warm , Atmosphere is lovely
Cons: Would be nice if the pastries were vegan

Nice place with a friendly vibe - Edit
Nice place, friendly staff, solid vegan falafel and several other vegan options. The main non-vegan ingredient seems to be cow milk as an option for coffee, latte etc.

Popped here for breakfast on a day trip to Dorchester. Lovely tasty vegan brekky with spicy fried tofu and the best home made beans I’ve ever had. (Usually when it’s home made brands my heart sinks!)

Wonderful intimate vegan cafe in Dorchester - Edit
Visited December 2024.
Read moreAwesome vegan cafe!!! I was here several during the Christmas market but still wanted to leave a review as I was so in love with this place. I want to visit Dorchester again purely just so I can go to Vibes and try out more of their foods on offer!! There is so much choice here, sadly we had already eaten elsewhere so just got drinks and cake - but these were utterly scrumptious.
It’s dog friendly.
There’s even a plant cuttings swap which is a beautiful and unique touch.
I cannot wait to revisit.
Pros: Great selection of vegan food and drink, Lovely atmosphere - incl a plant cuttings swap, Very friendly staff

Great food - Edit
A two-person team making amazing food. The strawberry milk shake + berry drinks were amazing and tasted clean, not that over the top sugary taste you get from certain brands. The breakfast left us very full for the whole afternoon. Animals are also welcome into the café and there are bowls for them to drink water from. I haven't had a better home-made falafel. Friendly owners but very rushed during busy periods.
Read moreFood taste/quality = 5/5
Waiting time = 4/5 (very hard to manage 8-10 tables with just two staff and a small kitchen area, still the wait wasn't very long to be fair)

The Nicest Person You're Likely to Meet - Edit
When we went, it was basically a one-man-show working at full speed! That said, he was absolutely the most hospitable and gracious person I've met in a long time. The food was great also, fresh food doused in sprinklings of harissa, delish!...and its all vegan (except the owner is pressured to keep a small bottle of cows milk for the local trade). That is why it is not labeled as a 100% Vegan cafe, but it kinda is. I am a big fan of this place!
Read moreUpdate: we went back again and it was even better! I had the fry-up which had the most delicious 'baked-beans' I had tasted in my life. He explained that because of his own heritage, he used a Syrian recipe and thought that this was much tastier (I agreed wholeheartedly!)

Pros: Welcoming 'Vibes', Harissa laden deliciousness, Most delicious baked beans you've ever tasted!

Delicious home cooked food - Edit
We went twice during our stay in Dorchester. What an absolute delight! The food was so delicious, fresh and tasty.
Read moreThe lentil soup was lightly spiced and served with toasted sourdough. The macaroni cheese was creamy and delicious. The wedges were spiced with harisa and were hot and perfect. The breakfast wrap was lovely. I enjoyed that it had roasted sweet potato inside and that it came with a side salad dressed with olive oil and pomegranate molasses. The caramel cheesecake was great with a chai latte. Everything vegan except for cows milk as an option for drinks. A very friendly and welcoming cafe with superb staff. Gets a bit busy at lunch time but the food is worth it.

Lovely friendly cafe with loads of choice - Edit
Went in by chance today after seeing signs for Hamza’s famous falafel. The falafel was indeed fantastic, but there was so much other choice I was a bit overwhelmed! Everything vegan (though as others have said dairy milk available so my non-vegan family couldn’t moan). We tried the breakfast bap, falafels and jackfruit wrap. All very fresh, piping hot and beautifully cooked. Very friendly atmosphere and lovely staff. Good value too! I was the only vegan in the group but all my family praised the food. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.
Read morePros: Great value, Freshly cooked good food, Friendly staff
Cons: You need to go multiple times to try everything!!

We entered thinking it was vegetarian so we asked if it had vegan options and we were told that it was exclusively vegan, but did have moo milk too 😅
Read moreThe owner, Hamza, is very friendly and his falafels are very nice (we think we might have tasted them in the past in Bridport from his stall). We tried to taste everything and we liked all of the food 😋😋😋

Lovely cosy cafe with good vibes - Edit
Stopped off for a quick lunch while in Dorchester. Staff were lovely and cafe had a cosy feel. Food took quite a while to come out and some items were unavailable by the time we visited (around 1pm) but when it did arrive the food was very tasty. The falafels were particularly good. Lentil soup was delish and great value for money.
Read morePros: Falafels!, Friendly staff, Good value for money
Cons: Not all menu items available
