Humble, healthy and tasty food

Our preference is for vegan places rather than vegetarian, but we didn't find anywhere else nearby so thought we'd give this place a try. Although vegetarian rather than vegan, much of the menu was vegan.

It's a small menu which seems to stay the same, which means the dishes that are on there are very good. We had the Imam bayildi and the falafel main dishes, with a side of sweet potato fries. The main meals came with a selection of salads which made for a good portion size. Although the presentation was basic, the food itself was healthy and tasty and we felt like we'd had a good balanced meal. The food was reasonably priced too.

The main downside for 4 stars rather than 5 was that the tables were not that clean and the toilets were damp and dated, so it felt a bit like being back in the school canteen!

We ordered and were served quickly which was great as we had a train to catch, so would say this is a great place for a humble meal that's filling, healthy and tastes good too.

Pros: Good portion size, Main meals served with selection of salads

Cons: Tables not that clean, Toilets are dated

Good if you like reliable and consistent meals. Menu hasn't changed very much in the 20 or so years that I've been aware of it.

Pros: Beautiful space, Wholesome food, Consistent

Cons: Staff bit grumpy

Humble and delicious

This was a lovely quaint place to eat. We had İmam Bayıldı (a Turkish aubergine dish). My partner is Turkish and so is familiar with high quality home cooked İmam Bayıldı and she was not disappointed, enjoying it a lot, as did I. The staff were friendly and it was fairly priced.

Great mainly vegan cafe

Superb location for a quick lunch. It’s an open place but still intimate with high beautifully glasses domed ceiling. The menu is limited in choice but the portions, presentation and taste are what you would expect at a high class joint. I had the tempura mushrooms in a polenta crush - tasted gorgeous. Each meal is served with all 4 salads and each is delish. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it. Ran out of bread so couldn’t order a second portion with soup!

100% Vegetarian & Vegan café in the city centre

One of our favourite spots in Sheffield. It is situated next to Sheffield Cathedral by the tram stop. The building is an old estate agents and has an amazing high ceiling with light streaming in. Currently the tables are nicely spaced out. There is also an upstairs area that can be used and reserved for private use.

The menu is small but what they do is excellent. Most of the menu is vegan include all of the salads that accompany the main meals. We had the aubergine dish of iman bayildi and the bean burrito served with sweet potato fries and split in between the two of us. You can can soy or oat milk for no extra charge and all coffees can be made decaf.

An old favourite

Good hearty and flavoursome meals in informal setting but splendid old building in the centre of the city (close to the cathedral).

Good portion sizes, fast counter service - you can look at, and ask about, the dishes on display.

The salads are one of the best things!

Pros: Price, Service, Flavours

Cons: Menu quite small and doesn't change much.

Everything’s fresh and plenty of whole foods

5 stars for the Vegan buffet, great value for money
4 stars for regular menu, quite expensive. Had vegan satay before and this isn’t close to satay from Asia, just vegetables in peanut butter with curry powder.

A long standing vegetarian cafe in heart of town

This cafe has been here a long time from what people tell me. It’s a little dated and cramped inside And service can be slow, but the food is ok if not a little expensive for what it is. My favourite part is the cakes. They only do soya or dairy milk so if you are allergic or intolerant to both stick the to herbal tea or black coffee and you won’t get ill.

Pros: some Vegan options

Cons: Cramped inside, Staff , Vegetarian lack of non dairy milks

Lovely!

Love this place! The location is cosy and the vibe amazing. They have all sorts of savory foods for lunch and a wide selection of cakes, most of which are vegan. They also have some gluten-free options. Basically every drink is or can be made vegan too, don't miss this place out!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Inexpensive

Lovely little cafe

Visited the Blue Moon Cafe with elderly relatives and had a lovely time. Staff were friendly and the food was tasty and filling. Would definitely recommend to vegans and vegetarians who found themselves in Sheffield.

I did initially struggle to find a table, but another diner kindly offered to share her table with us.

Pros: Good food, Clearly marked vegan food, Good price

Cons: Very busy at lunchtime

Breakfast

Lovely eating space with a welcoming atmosphere. Staff were really friendly. I was surprised at the breakfast options being limited, as the cafe opens at 8am I expected their breakfast game to be strong. On the menu was toast, scrambled egg on toast or porridge. I ordered the porridge which was actually really good and the coffee is cracking. My little one (8) had the porridge too and enjoyed it. We paid just short of £9 for 2 bowls of porridge, a coffee and a glass of Apple juice - soya milk has an additional charge which I never are with personally. No fresh fruit available which isn't the end of the world as nipped to Tescos opposite for some bananas afterwards. Is definitely more of a lunch/tea venue I think and the cakes looked delicious. We will be going back to try other meal options for sure.

Pros: Lovely staff and building

Cons: limited breakfast options. city centre pricing.
