Vegan croissant as big as your head

There were lots of vegan choices here making it difficult to choose. I’ll definitely need to go back. The red lentil dahl was very nice and I enjoyed the vegan cheese toastie too for £9 together. The almond croissant was the only one that was vegan. It was massive. It was nice and stuffed with cream and almonds. It didn’t taste quite like marzipan inside like the one at 123V Bakery. The pastries are supplied by Galeta bakery. The Oatly soft serve is great. We ordered two more after the first. Good decaf oat lattes too.

Cute little cafe with river view

More than average vegan options. The “secret” hot chocolate is no longer available. Hot chocolates were a little expensive ordered two for my Little ones age 4 and 7 and it came to over £7! The cups were tiny! The sandwiches were good, Especially the vegan melt. The chocolate chip Nero ice cream was very good!

Cons: Panini bread not vegan only sourdough and seeded, Don’t go if it’s a rainy day. No shelter , Some items expensive

Great Food, Warm people

The food has been really good. Variety and the menu changes have been one of interest/. Try the Winter Soup, with Cheese bread. Really scrumptious. There is an incredible spread of food. For me the bacon buttie has been a winner. But, the vegan cakes after a good ride is right there at the top.
