More than just a bakery

Alex Gooch is a multi-award-winning baker and once you try this place you'll understand why.

It's a great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch with pizzas, focaccia and ciabatta sandwiches as well as breakfast muffins with sausage and bacon.

Everything in this place is vegan, they just don't make it obvious. The coffee is divine and the cruffins (muffins crossed with croissants) are out of this world. #Veganuary

Pros: Blackcurrant cruffins, Super friendly staff , Great for people watching

Cons: Nothing

Vegan’s Dream

Fabulous plant based food - take away or eat in. We choose to eat in and had warm croissants with bacon, cheese and maple syrup - yummy. It took ages to decide what to eat as all of the menu choices are lovely - a vegan’s dream. Fab take away cakes, pizzas, cakes, sandwiches, and much more. The staff are very friendly - lots of places to sit - nice cozy room upstairs which was very popular. Looking forward to visiting again soon. #Veganuary

Fantastic Vegan Cafe

I was so pleased to find this bakery when visiting Monmouth. With everything vegan I could happily choose whatever I liked. The man serving was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I had a delicious pizza followed by a plant yogurt dessert, which was heavenly. The sun was shining and we sat outside despite it being October. I also bought bread to take home. I’ll definitely be back.

Pros: Vegan AND delicious

Cons: None

Great space and food.

Love the building, inside and out, and the food is delicious. The toilet is upstairs so not accessible to everyone. Very friendly and enthusiastic staff.

Fantastic lunch

It was lovely to have lunch here. I'm vegan and my husband is a vegetarian. I had focaccia with coronation chickpea and my husband a croissant with facon, cheese and maple syrup. Both lovely and normally husband won't eat vegan cheese but enjoyed. Also had sweet treat which were lovely.

An Oasis

I loved that everything is vegan so I could choose what i want with no restrictions. The food is high quality and absolutely delicious. I had a nutrient bowl which was satisfying, fresh, balanced and tasty. I left with an armful of pastries and bread. The shop is very well presented and doesn't obviously advertise as vegan, which I think is a business advantage, as the "v" word can put people off. Hopefully it will be around for years to come

Pros: Everything is vegan, High quality

Over the moon!!

Was so excited to find out about this fully plant based bakery in Monmouth😍

They have a biggg variety both sweet and savoury items, the option to eat in (with plenty of space) or takeaway, and the kindest most helpful staff🥰

A few things that caught my eye were the almond croissants, massive cruffins, inverted croissants, pizza and focaccia👀

We got a beautiful variety of pastries that we took home and then the next day, I got some focaccia. Everything was incredible, Alex is super talented and absolutely nails the vegan goods🤩🤩🤩Can’t wait to be back in Monmouth again to try more….(stay tuned)

Fantastic artisinal vegan bakery in Wales

Stopped in here for coffee and pastries - they had such a big selection it was difficult to pick just one thing! They had plenty of sweet pastries (filled croissants, donuts and cruffins), a couple of savoury pastries, pizza slices, breads and baguettes. We chose to have an almond croissant and chocolate cruffin, both were delicious and generous sizes. The coffee was also excellent, and service was very friendly.
Overall, it was slightly pricey, but the food was definitely worth the price.

Pros: Good pastries, Plenty of choice

Cons: Pizza slice felt overpriced

Delicious vegan pastries - ALL vegan cafe

At first sight you wouldn’t think this artisan bakery and cafe was vegan. In fact when my husband found “meat” on his pizza he thought there’d been a mistake, only to find out that everything was vegan. “What everything?” The pastries are out of this world good. The pizzas are fresh and crispy. My favourite so far is the “cheese and bacon” croissant with maple syrup. You can purchase amazing sour dough bread (so good it reminded me of France), to take home so we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast and took the bread home for lunch. Staff are friendly and helpful. There’s more seating upstairs and it’s a bit quieter upstairs too so you can choose which you prefer. The prices reflect the quality so it’s not cheap but for this standard the prices are fair.

Pros: Amazing vegan croissants, pastries & pizzas, Everything is plant based, oat milk for the coffee, Staff are friendly and helpful

splendid vegan bakery and cafe

Vegan bakery with a range of breads and pastries. Breads include sourdough, rye, ciabatta, focaccia, crusty white etc. Pastries include croissants (plain, almond,), cinnamon Chelsea bun, and many more. Most ingredients seem to be organic. There is a small (busy!) cafe attached, selling good coffee plus salads, pizza etc.
A touch pricy but very delicious and made with good ingredients so probably worth it!

Pros: Everything is vegan, mainly organic, ethically sourced ingredients, very delicious!

Cons: slightly pricy
