Another vegan burger

It's a really nice and cozy restaurant.
I liked how they brought me a bottle of water on the house, the moment i sat down.

Regarding the food:
As I've read so good reviews, I had really high expectations. Unfortunately, my burger (quarter pounder) didn't live up to them.

It was good, maybe the patty was a little dry. But to me it was just another ordinary vegan burger.

I probably should have picked something else.
The cakes looked very good...

Cute little place with tasty food!!!

We came here as a group of 7 and they were accommodating by moving tables together for us. It’s a very small cafe, but some very tasty food!! Very large open faced sandwiches/toasts, Reuben didn’t have quite enough meat too it and the bread was a little soggy, but overall very tasty. The Biscoff cheesecake was incredible! My mom was really hoping for some wine to have with her meal, so worth noting that they don’t serve alcohol. But for some that’s a plus!

Pros: Tasty food, Large portions, Amazing cheesecake!!!

Cons: Small space/more cafe than restaurant, Doesn’t serve alcohol

Awesome food

Really great burger - chips were awesome too. Great friendly service and really good menu. Felt like reasonable value for money.

Note that it's below street level down some steps - we found it quite hard to find!

Pros: Amazing burgers, Great menu, Friendly staff

Cons: Chocolate cheesecake wasn't my favourite, Can't book

Delicious burgers!

My husband and I came here for lunch and it was a really nice experience, it’s a cosy little place with friendly staff. The menu is really good, we both had burgers and they were absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend.

Holy Cow is right!

A little hard to find but what a cute funky little place. And let’s not forget the food- simply fabulous! The service tho - not so much... They really need to work on that. Fortunately the food and cuteness of the place more than makes up for the lack of service. Well done Holy Cow.

Pros: Excellent oyster mushroom steak sandwich!!, Cute atmosphere , Love the menu overall and choices.

Cons: Ramp up the service training., A bit hard to find. Any chance for better signage

recommendable without hesitation

First we went past it as the entrance is not so obviously recognisable like the neighbouring shop's are.
Good food and polite staff. The main room can get noisy when the room is full. Our large dog found enough room to lie down although people occasionaly had to step over him.. Dogs that are not as relaxed or need room to withdraw may find not enough space to do so. When seated outside in the back it is very quiet and even the cietie's noise is fainted quite a lot.
Overall a good experience.

Pros: Food, staff, dog friendly

Cons: radio was a bit loud

We went here twice because it was so good and the first time we couldn’t try any cake. Did not regret coming back! The food is very tasty and loved the cake! 🤩

Very tasty salad and cakes

Went here for dinner and we both had the pad thai salad which was great as were both the tiramisu and banoffee cake. However, the menu was not that diverse, consisting only of a few burgers, sandwiches and two salads (according to their website they have bibimbap, but this was not the case on location). Had a great meal nonetheless.

Nice restaurant with some room for improvement

Food was good, prices are fine staff seemed friendly. The cake wasn’t that good lacked in consistency and maybe a bit of specialty for the price. The main thing I didn’t like was the music very loud and not vibe matching😒Ambiente could be a bit more cozy to!

Pros: Main dishes , Staff

Cons: Music , Ambience

Underwhelmed

I really wanted to like this place as the vibe and staff were superb but the meals we ordered were barely satisfactory. Power Bowl was flavorless with wilted greens and the mushroom burger lacked distinctive taste. Maybe it was just an off day for the kitchen, it happens.

Past the golden days

A good start is to remember your customers. We were welcomed to wait in the patio until a table became available in the cramped and busy resaturant. Considering the rather chilly weather, it was a bit disappointing to discover, after quite a long wait, that the waiter forgot about us and already offered tables to other later arriving customers. After that it would have been a comfort to have enjoyed at least excellent cooking. Unfortunately the cooking also disappointed us. The bean burger and the tofu we had were both rather dry, cold and felt like reheated unfresh food. The same goes for the chips that were rather old and saggy.

Pros: A fully vegan selection, A good selection on the menu, Near the city centre

Cons: Not so engaged staff (forgetting their customers), Serving unfresh cold food, Cleanliness could be better

May be a great restaurant, but arrive before 9 pm

My daughter and I made quite a trek on foot, in the rain, to go to Holy Cow which was listed on Happy Cow and on their website as being open until 10 with no mention of the kitchen closing at 9 on either site. We arrived at 9 on the dot, after going to another vegan restaurant and not being able to get in because they were booked. It's not my intent ever to cause a vegan restaurant harm, but I share this to help travelers who may now know better (like me). I gave the restaurant constructive feedback (in a nice way) that their website and Happy Cow did not say anything about food service stopping at 9, and we could not imagine arriving an hour before closing could not be an issue. They told us that they would let the manager know and I can see that Happy Cow has now been updated with the info that the kitchen closes at 9.

We let them know that we had just trekked there quite a distance in the rain (and it was cold, and I'm pretty sure they could see we were wet) after we couldn't get into another restaurant, and how hard it is to find a place that offers food that is both vegan and gluten-free. And since it was 9 on the dot, I had hoped that they could help us out in some way - ie, a soup or a salad, something that didn't involve cooking. But they were not able to, and all we could have was a piece of cake, when we were really craving a healthy meal. I understand that the kitchen staff is exhausted at closing time, but also given no notice on the website or Happy Cow (Happy Cow has now been updated with this info) about the early kitchen closing, had wished they could have made an exception, at least to offer something that would have been easy for them, so we could have had dinner that night. It just would have been really nice if they would have been able to accommodate us in some way out of compassion. It is our lesson learned that going to a busy town during tourist season to always have reservations, if they take them (this restaurant does not, except for large groups), and to always call to be sure so you don't face unexpected circumstances. I'm sure their food is great, we were disappointed that we didn't get to have a meal there. The piece of cake was delicious, though!

Amazing food!

The mushroom burger and the carrot sandwich were really tasty and so was the bounty cheeze cake! The smoothies were also very refreshing although a bit too sweet for my taste.

I really wanted to take a photo of the super cute cushions they have and completely forgot - it would be great if any fellow vegan sees this and uploads them here!!

Loved their Ruben, smoothies, and desserts. My picky daughter loves the tofu sandwich. Highly recommend.

Hard to find - it’s in a basement. Worth the find.

Great food not so great desserts

The food was really well made and tasty, and I could absolutely come back for it. Service really friendly, but slow and unattentive even though there were not that many people in the Restaurant. And it is a bit on the expensive side with 15£ for a Burger and 5£ for a slice of cake.
The desserts however were a dissapointment, The tiramisu was dry and didnt really taste anything at all and The lemon tart crust fell apart, though the taste of the lemoncustard was really nice.

Pros: Food, Easy to modify dishes

Cons: Dry cake, Slow service , Price
