Amazing! - Edit
Visited for the first time tonight. Great food, lovely people, nice space! The burgers, bacon and mac n cheese (all vegan, of course) were really good and a really nice selection of beers and baked goods, too. If I lived in Oxford, I’d be here every week!

A great treat up the Cowley Road - Edit
I've now visited the Happy Friday Kitchen three times, each time being more enjoyable than the previous.
I love the choices this restaurant has made. The junk food is suitably dirty, with cheesy chips, hot wings, meat(less) pizza with stuffed crust (!) and chunky burgers all available to order. The seitan seems to have gotten even better since the start, and the most recent time we visited we could also enjoy a beer or two :)
The staff are lovely and seem to really care about you enjoying your meal.
I hope the restaurant continues to do so well, best of luck guys!
Pros: Vegan :), Tasty junk food , Great menu selection
Cons: I get excited and order too much everytime :(

Amazing vegan food!! - Edit
This restaurant is a game-changer - the first fully vegan place in Oxford (a city with such a thriving veggie/vegan community) was bound to be a success but the food is even better than I ever imagined! The food is delicious - I've been twice with my omnivorous boyfriend who loved it, especially the macaroni cheese! The burgers are insane. It's the first time I've tried seitan and it's done wonderfully here. Also the sweet treats and cakes look brilliant - we tried the oreo brownie and were not let down!
The atmosphere is really nice, including an adorable little dog which is friendly but doesn't interfere with your meal! There is a vegan pic n mix stall at the back of the shop and shelves of vegan sweets etc, with an amazing variety of things that I've not seen anywhere else.
It's a bit of a long way down the Cowley road if you're coming from town/North Oxford but it's well worth the trip! A little pricey but again I think it's worth it for such amazing vegan food.
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Great dog!
Cons: A little bit expensive, A long way from the centre of town

Best food in Oxford - Edit
Finally Oxford has a fulltime 100% vegan restaurant/cafe! Food is a good mix of California-style junkfood treats like seitan burgers with delicious fries, stuffed-crust pizzas, brownies and cupcakes, and healthier buddha bowl options. As a new business it’s still finding its feet so at times the wait for food is longer than others, and they do run out of items now and then, however the staff are the friendliest you’ll find in the whole of town! They have Oatley barista for frothy coffee and hot chocolate. Also delicious organic green tea and a small selection of vegan sweets and treats.
Pros: Delicious 100% vegan food, Lovely staff

Incredible, go now! - Edit
Beautiful comfort food in a lovely setting or as takeaway. Amazing burgers, hot wings, mac and cheese and cheesy chips... I cannot wait to taste the rest of the menu!
The owner is so welcoming and let us sit for ages having a good old catch, bringing us extra water without us asking.
Pros: Everything is vegan , Good value for money

Tasty & fun vegan haven in Oxford! - Edit
Cute little place serving 100% vegan comfort foods. The pizza's with stuffed crusts are one of the best I've had, and the seitan is amazing! There are different cakes for sale most days (brownies, biscoff cupcakes, cinnamon rolls) which are all delicious, and pick & mix too!
So glad to have junk food back again, can't wait for the brunch waffle menu to be rolled out soon!
Pros: Vegan, Delicious junk food , Cute decoration
Cons: Can be busy at peak times

amazing food and friendly staff - Edit
Tried the mac'n'cheese and hot wings, they were really good: By far the best seitan I've ever had (great firm consistency), mac'n'cheese tasted nicely homemade and really natural. Tasty and interesting food, friendly and attentive service, will definitely be back and try some of the mains and desserts.
Pros: by far the biggest choice for vegans in Oxford, great food, friendly service
Cons: bit pricey, sides are a bit small (but very tasty)
