Superb - Edit
This wonderful small cafe just became one on my favourite restaurants. The place looks very simple but pleasant and homelike. And you expect nice homestyle food. But the food is a masterpiece. Not only super delicious but also so nicely plated! It is really culinary art. We tried few mains, sides and starters and one salad and everything was perfect. Portions are quite small but not expensive so you can try a few meals for the price of one big portion. In general I love it and I am so happy that place like this opened outside London. If they were in London I am sure they would be very popular and had a lot of customers. But I am happy that they are here, where plenty of vegan people live and dream about nice place to visit in the evening. Thank you for a marvelous meal. I wish you good luck.

Amazing food! - Edit
Had a three course meal with a couple of taster dishes. The food was superb, really tasty. The risotto balls were probably one of the nicest things I have ever eaten and I will probably daydream about them each time I'm hungry ;)
Read moreTheir lunch menu looked amazing, and the dishes were really reasonably priced.
Pros: Excellent food, Lovely staff
Cons: Location for non-drivers (for me, anyway)

Best food we've ever had - Edit
We were curious to try out this new cafe as we had heard good things, but we hadn't quite set our expectations high enough. We both agreed that the wellington we had for lunch was probably the best food we've ever had. It was absolutely delicious, especially the hand made vegan sausage-meat inside. It was cooked to perfection and came accompanied with roasted root vegetables and red wine jus. We couldn't help but harp on about it to the chef, waitress and owner, who were very welcoming.Then we had an almond slice with vanilla soya ice cream, which was also lovely.The people there we very attentive, they cared what we thought of their food, and ultimately I can't think of enough good things to say about this place, so just go try it. You won't regret it.We're booked in for next Saturday's three course meal already. We can't wait!

London and Home Counties Meetup - Edit
As I run London and Home Counties Meetup (meetup.com/lhcveg), I've now visited Krissi and Rob's cafe three times. It's early days and there's always room for improvement, but if they keep up the good work they deserve to be successful.
Read moreI've tried their sausage roll (homemade, not Linda McCartney as sometimes used), creamy mushroom pasta, curry with flat bread, and stuffed aubergine with lentils, as well as their lovely moist brownie, a few almond cupcake crumbs (kids' leftovers), and a hot chocolate.
Happy to report that everything was scrumptious and good value, and well deserving of their 'Excellent Reviews on Happy Cow' window sticker I presented them with :-) (Thanks for that Eric)

Pros: Only 'true' vegan restaurant in Surrey, Passionate owners, Good food and value
Cons: Need to have proper menus, Blackboard should just be for specials, Not all pricing displayed
crazybean
Hi Richard, thanks for the tips. Yes we will be moving to a proper menu as things settle down and we know what people are loving to eat. We can't thank you enough for all your support over these first few weeks and we can't wait to see you again soon :)

Unbelievable Quality // Great Staff // Best Food in the World! - Edit
It's always pretty hard finding a good vegan restaurant, and makes a huge change finding somewhere where I could actually have EVERYTHING on the menu. Their carbonara may well be the best pasta dish I've EVER had at any restaurant- even before I became vegan! Great prices and really friendly staff. The chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream also rock. Will definitely be back within the next few days!
Read morePros: Excellent Food that's all vegan, incredible value, friendly staff
Cons: not that many tables!
