Not the cleanest place - Edit
Type of food stand restaurant, that comes with dirty plates and the type of sausages that talk about on YouTube, made of plastic. But the prices are the same as any other restaurant.

Pros: Hashbrown was good
Cons: Dirty , The tea bag label dropped in my cup, The sausages are disturbing

Vegan English breakfast - Edit
Was good to have a classic English breakfast for change after weeks of travelling in Vietnam. It definitely wasn’t the best I’ve had but still tasted good enough. It also came with an English breakfast tea with soy milk.
Read moreThe staff were not super friendly but served the food up quickly.
Moderate pricing for what it was.
Pros: Large vegan menu at a non-vegan place, Soy milk
Cons: Moderate pricing , A bit bland in flavour

Worth A Try, But… - Edit
If you are missing some good old-fashioned British food?
Read moreThis place is worth a visit.
Nevertheless.
The food isn't brilliant.
It's not clean.
And the staff aren't very friendly.
But the HP sauce is good.
Pros: You can get a Vegan Full English Brrakfast, You can get a Vegan Bangers and Mash, You can get a Vegan Sunday Roast
Cons: It's not clean, The staff aren't friendly , It's expensive

A lot of choice - OK food - Edit
There were a lot of vegan and veggie options on the menu for English and Vietnamese dishes. I had peanut butter on toast for breakfast there, it was alright and the ladies were nice. The menu was a bit sticky, the tablecloths had a few stains and the saucer the coffee came out on was a bit dirty. It was ok but I would try another place seeing as there are actually so many nice places around.

Okay - Edit
They had a massive vegan selction; over 3 pages of the menu. I had the vegan fish and ships, which sadly was quite bland. I expected it to be a bit better for the price.

Vegan English - Edit
I still love the vegan food served here. The mushroom and tofu Claypot is amazing! The vegan apple crumble vegan custard is the bomb. But my all time favorite is the vegan cottage pie.
Read moreExcellent vegan Full English breakfast. Lots of comfort food. The vegan butter on toast with Marmite is superb. Went back for lunch and the bean burger was delicious and huge.

Really bad food - Edit
Ordered a jacket potato with beans.
Read moreThe potato was boiled not baked.
There were about 30 beans, and none of them tasted like Heinz to me (as advertised).
Just a bad place to choose to eat, unfortunately.

Excellent! - Edit
Really large vegan menu and the owner was totally happy for us to pick and mix bits from the breakfast menu. Let me pick just a few items from the vegan breakfast and reduced the price for it.

Meh - Edit
There's a massive selection of vegetarian and vegan meals, but sadly it's pretty average. Burger was ok but not delicious. The place doesn't look very clean either. Quite expensive for what you get..

Disappointed - Edit
We had 2 different vegan burgers with fries - the fries were nice and the bread was fresh but the burgers were very average, soggy and bland. Unfortunately the cashew cheese was not nice at all, I scraped mine out of my burger. The atmosphere was strange - we felt like we were an inconvenience and that they didn't want to serve us. The owner's young daughter was having a loud tantrum about something and was kicking her puppy in the face. I couldn't help myself and told her (gently) to stop because it wasn't nice and she proceeded to shout at me (in English) before kicking the puppy again. Not the relaxing meal we were hoping for!

Okay - Edit
It's okay. The menue is awesome as they offer a lot of different (mock meat and non mock meat) things.
Read moreWe were a bit disappointed as the food arrived because it was VERY basic.
We've ordered a veggie burger and a baguette and there was no sauce on both. All in all it looked like food from a basic and cheap food stall, not like it comes from a restaurant.
It tasted really good, but for the price (around 60.000) you get better food.

Super nice coffee - Edit
We had a coffee with vegan sweet milk here (super delicious, 40k Dong). For this I could recommend this place, but not for the food. We had a large pizza vegetarian together. We ask them to put it back in the oven, because it wasn’t backed enough. The pizza had no real flavour, the vegan cheese just looked a bit like cheese, but wasn’t special. All in all we paid 185k Dong for this ... plus the 80k for two real nice coffees.
Read moreIt felt like the waitress was a bit annoyed about us. Don’t know why. On the pro side is the big vegan menu - maybe there are better options than pizza.

Wouldn't go there if I were you - Edit
Worst food I've had in 4 weeks of traveling through Vietnam. Were forced to go there because 5 other happy cow places were closed because of the Tet celebrations. We had two large pizzas that weren't large at all and just horrible. They were dry, not baked well and didn't taste of anything. I didn't expect to eat the world's best pizza in Vietnam, but I've had so much better ones in the country before - and for a better price! We also asked the person sitting next to us of he enjoyed his burger and he agreed the food was super bad and so overpriced. The place seems a bit filthy also.

great ambiance, yet lacking flavour - Edit
A group of friends and I went in on Tet and we enjoyed our time but all agreed it could have been better. I was the only vegan in the group, my Pho was lacking flavour but the tofu had a nice texture. A friend of mine had the tofu and veggie noodles, and she couldn’t seem to taste the tofu or see it at all. Another friend had a burger, it was quite small and wasn’t good. The family who runs it is adorable though, and the coconut coffee was okay! They have a little puppy and he’s so adorable.
Read morePros: cheapest on the street, separate vegan menu , family owned

Eh. Decent. Edible - Edit
This was okay. It wasn’t the tastiest breakfast but it was passable. Don’t think I’d really go back though. The menu is loaded with carbs and fake meats.

Books and coffee - Edit
Came for the books stayed for a vegan coffee. I didn't get food but the option of soya condensed milk was good (And a rarity here). The menu looked like it had many vegan options but i cannot comment on the quality. One particular staff member stood out as being nice and chatting. Also had a selection of board games.

Avoid - Edit
Filthy place, even by Vietnamese standards. We literally had a cockroach on our table. Everything is old and dirty. We paid 309k for vegan English breakfast (low quality vegan deli meats, beans from the can and a tea) and a huge mashed potatoes - vegan minced beef thing. Way too much. Never again.

Had the vegan bangers and mash and it was ok. They sausages are actually veggie dogs but the gravy was really yummy! Boyfriend got the lighter version of an English breakfast and was a little disappointed.

Not a good vegan breakfast - Edit
They have an incredible amount of vegan western dishes, but unfortunately it wasn't good.
Read moreWe had the vegan full English and it was just not that nice. Hash browns, beans and toast were great, but the sausages were not good vegan sausages, the bacon was more like gammon and the scrambled tofu had no seasoning so wasn't nice at all.
Felt like a very very cheap full English but was very expensive for Vietnam - around £5!!
Pros: Lots of options
Cons: Bad quality, Expensive, Dirty inside
FilthyVegan.
Check out Filthy Vegan. By far the best vegan comfort food. Very near to Bookworm's Coffee.

Vegan English breakfast - Edit
They have real HP brown sauce!!! Worth coming for that alone. They do lots of vegan versions of English classics (bangers & mash, fish & chips etc). We got the vegan full English in which was pretty good and comes with a good cuppa as well. Was a little oily but still tasty. And did I mention brown sauce?!?!
Read morePros: Brown sauce, Comfort food
Cons: Slightly oily

Bad food in tourist area - Edit
Not great food. I think this place just has a lot of ratings because it is in the tourist area. I would recommend leaving that area for good food. I thought the staff here were unfriendly and the food was not good. Definitely just handy because it's right on Bui vien.

Bland and Boring - Edit
The food lacked depth and creativity on many levels and isn’t really the healthiest vegan food you’ll find. Poorly seasoned e.g Tofu scramble was like chewing a rubber band made of soy..... In addition, whilst rustic in terms of decor a quick peak in the kitchen didn’t reveal the highest of standards for cleanliness. Great to have Vegan options but good, wholesome food is made with love. If this rings true then the food tasted like it was thrown at the plate across the kitchen which may explain the poor presentation too. It was also double the price of other places I reviewed in Saigon and not a worthy comparison in terms of food.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Location
Cons: No depth of flavour or creativity , Expensive in comparison to other Places

Fantastic - Edit
Amazing food, with loads and loads of vegan options! On top of this they will work with you to make anything on main menu vegan! The owner himself is a vegan and is so kind and helpful. The place has a lovely atmosphere and is very cheap.
