Stunning - Edit
Absolutely superb - top quality food - delicious and great portions - excellent service - wide selection of dishes to suit all tastes - great value.
Read moreWe tried to eat here a couple of years ago but it was fully booked out, so this time we visited Exeter we booked, and we were glad we did because this place is rightly packed out with happy customers.
A handful of dishes are vegetarian, not vegan, but the vegan dishes are clearly marked, and there's lots of choice. Everything was absolutely delicious, but the mushroom sauce with the nut roast deserves a special mention - wow!
Can't wait to go back to Exeter just to eat here again!
Pros: Great portions , Delicious food, Great service
Cons: Gets really busy - well worth booking!

Dinner in Exeter - Edit
Had the focaccia, hummus, roasted vegetables and wedges - really nice! Everything is clearly labelled on the menu. All the wines are vegan and labelled as such, which is nice as restaurants often don’t do that and it’s annoying to have to google the wine list in a restaurant to check.

Great spot - Edit
I ate here twice during my trip to Exeter in January. First having a blt and my friend had nachos (she said they were awesome and I loved my blt sandwich). I then went back by myself later in the week, where I had soup (yummy) and a brownie (bit too dense for me). I also ordered a smoothie, which turned out to be an overpriced innocent smoothie they had placed in a glass - not the home made version I thought it was from the description!
Read moreI’ve since revisited in September and my thoughts stand! Portions are big!
Overall, I highly recommend them!
Toilets are down some rickety stairs and there are a couple of steps into the restaurant (there is an evac chair though). The restaurant itself is small with a fair amount of tables, so may be difficult for those with mobility issues.

Lovely family meal - Edit
Went as a family. My wife had the special pie which looked fantastic, I had the curry which was delicious and our son had a vegan pizza. All the smoothies and milkshakes could be veganised as well. Staff were very friendly even though they seemed very busy.

Stressful in a good way - Edit
I’d forgotten what it was like to actually have to chose from a menu. The Buddha bowl was delicious and a very generous portion. We are already planning what we’re going to have on our next visit.

Amazingly good - Edit
This vegetarian cafe has been ahead of its time with catering for vegans and gluten free. Always friendly and helpful. The food is always plentiful and delicious. Many a happy family meal they have provided for us, well worth the 80 mile round trip! A firm family favourite.

Good but could improve - Edit
Lovely for an entirely vegan dinner. Some of the dishes are delicious, like the lasagna or starters, but other dishes fall quite a bit short (like the curry I had.. not very flavorful, slightly dull). Overall great as it is all vegan, but could definitely improve some of their dishes.
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Delicious desserts, Starters are good
Cons: Quite pricy
