INCREDIBLE - Edit
Have eaten here multiple times since it opened and have been chuffed with every single meal, the price is fantastic for what you get.
Read morethey have sandwiches, burgers, salads, as well as some great kids meals. they also have regular fresh cakes and treats at the counter and serve yummy sweet treats from the menu. they also stock some great confectionary such as whippy cream and ichoc bars.
they have plenty of gluten free, soy free and nut free dishes so is really great for anyone with allergies.
the various fake cheeses they use are brilliant, the fake meats are very comforting and filling - several of my meat eating friends have even enjoyed the food here! i haven’t tried any of their salads yet (i’m sure i will come summer!) but the menu really hits the spot for comforting winter ‘junk’ foods (only it doesn’t feel particularly unhealthy at all😄yay!)
favourites so far:
all day breakfast muffin
lotus biscuit milkshake
‘chicken’ burger
Pros: Amazing comfort food!!! A+++++++++, Great price AND generous portions! , Staff are so lovely, helpful and attentive
Cons: not a con but would love more breakfast options, room 4 improvement: sourdough bread 4 sandwiches

Fabulous food - Edit
We travelled down from Surrey just to eat here and it was well worth the journey. Love that it’s 💯 vegan and has lots of gluten free options too. It’s great that you pay on ordering so your not left waiting around for the bill at the end. Staff were polite and friendly.

Great find - Edit
First time we've been to this vegan Cafe and were not disappointed, the chicken burger was absolutely fantastic and a bonus to be dog-friendly as we had our puppy with us.
