Amazing vegan options and atmosphere! - Edit

Pros: Great range of vegan options, lovely atmosphere, c
Cons: None!

nice little place with lots of yummy options - Edit
My first time here and was pleasantly surprised - very small with limited seating and food and drinks took a while though they were busier than usual owing to Mother’s Day! Food was delicious, healthy and hearty. Milkshakes were also amazing plus you can add thins to them for 50p extra like protein powder etc! Would definitely recommend if in the area.

Candida can-doer! - Edit
Going into any gastronomic establishment with a long list of cans & cants, in my experience is rarely likely to make you popular with the staff, however in Chia I felt like the girls actually genuinely cared about making sure I was sticking to the right foods for my candida diet. I'm a stranger to being picky about what I put in my body, but the level of consideration and patience the team here has is unequivocal to other health food places I've visited. It's quite pricey but you pay for the unmatched local wide array of health ingredients on offer, so the bill wasn't an issue. As an omnivore and a long-term local to Hitchin I had only ever dipped my head into Chia for a quick coffee with a friend, but having tasted their sumptuous vegetarian food I will definitely be going back, esp when I'm candida-free & can get my hands on their delectable array of baked goods!

cute cafe - Edit
There are lots of smoothies, lots of cakes. There is a big menu too - I always get a mixed salad bowl and berry smoothie. The presentation of the food is really cute too but it can be quite expensive.
Pros: big menu, delicious, healthy
Cons: very small, quite expensive

My first ever eating out experience as a vegan - Edit
I accidentally stumbled across this cafe shopping. I was so excited to eat there; and they did not disappoint! I will be going back, and I think it will be a Friday occurrence 🌱

A lovely little, dog friendly place - Edit
Welcoming and friendly with tasty food but most importantly my little dog was made very welcome. The kind staff also looked after my dog's pet stroller (my dog is elderly & walks very slowly) while we went to sit upstairs. Will DEFINITELY visit again with my doggie companion in tow.
Pros: Dog friendly, Welcoming, Tasty food
Cons: A small place so not always much space, but cosy.

favourite lunch place - Edit
love to go here when in Hitchin, the food is really tasty and plentiful, you always leave feeling very full! They also are really accommodating if you ask for variations, like no garlic or different milks. Really nice people.
Pros: tasty, good value, friendly
Cons: tiny place - might not get a seat at the weekend!

amazing - Edit
Chia is a lovely little cafe tucked away by St Mary's Church. So many lovely options on the menu. They also sell lots of other vegan goodies, so semi store as well! We have tried basically all the cakes! You must try the carrot cake! The portions are very generous and you really struggle to choose anything here. Lots of smoothies and juices available. It is hard not to spend s fortune. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing cafe for food & friendliness & atmosphere - Edit
I have only recently found this little cafe but every time I visit the food and the service has been perfect, I have taken my parents with me who also love the food. It's so good to find a place like this outside of London that has such a good vegan menu and in such a wonderful place with friendly staff. I will be back very soon.
Pros: The food, staff & cozy cafe with location.
Cons: none.

At last a safe haven for Hitchin vegans - Edit
So I no longer have to worry about asking staff if this or that contains egg or milk. Chia has become my safe haven.
It's also a really nice place to sit in the window and watch the world go by. Lucy, Dan and the team are super nice too. I couldn't recommend highly enough!
Pros: Vegan, healthy, great coffee too, and nothing dead
Cons: It's small, and I have a feeling they will eventua
