Tasty and well priced but not incredible - Edit

I had the Tuna/Cheese and red onion toastie.
It the filling was quite lovely and it arrived in a good amount of time. my only critique was the focaccia that it was on was a bit dry.
My mum got the scrambled tofu and spinach on sourdough, that was very good. I'd recommend that.

Overall it was nice and I recommend you try it.
But nothing to write home about.

Good coffee - Edit

They do a great soya latte and lots of other hot drinks, but I have to say the vegan options for food aren't that good. A lot of the cakes are incredibly dry, possibly because they're also gluten free. I've had a tofu scramble on toast before and it was rather bland but pricey. On the plus side, there is a reasonable amount to choose from and it's a good choice for people watching.

Pros: Caters for many dietary requirements, great coffee

Cons: can be pricey, cakes tend to be dry, hot food can be bland

Vegan breakfast not good at all - Edit

Had the breakfast which I was excited about because of the scrambled egg. Couldn’t even eat it, was awful. Literally just squashed up silken tofu and turmeric stirred in. Sausage was too hard to even cut into, bread rock hard, spinach had a weird taste. Owner asked for feedback which i gave on the eggs and hopefully she took on the suggestion to change the recipe.

Pros: Nice spot, Lovely owner, Grateful for having vegan options

Cons: Poorly executed food, Lack of knowledge on vegan food
