Amazing lunch

We were abit dubious as we arrived before opened and it looked a little too loved outside but came back 30 minutes later and the look and vibe had completely changed. We ordered and ate some amazing food and highly recommend it.

Pros: Price, Food , Service

Cons: When closed it didn’t look welcoming

A Little gem

What an amazing place in this horrible town. While at the look it might not catch your attention, the food was absolutely amazing!
Considering how the rest of the town is, the warm food made my day.

Pros: Quality, Taste

Really nice place with a welcoming chilled atmosphere. We both had a Salad Bowl and they were well loaded with a selection of nine (yes, nine today!) different kinds in the bowl that mixed and matched each other perfectly… the curried cauliflower with coconut & cashews was my favourite in the selection :-). They were so good we decided to have two more salads to take out! The cakes were equally awesome too…😃There’s plenty more on their menu so another visit is sure to happen. Definitely worth it!

Breakfast

We popped in for breakfast whilst in the area but it wasn't a breakfast place, they kindly decided to make us a breakfast anyway with a middle eastern twist, the food was absolutely spectacular and set us up for the day. They also had a good selection of hot drinks and all well priced. Hats off to the chef and also the owner who puts her heart into this lovely gem, I only wish we lived nearer so we could partake in more of the menu.

Pros: Flavour, Portions, Engaging owner

Great selection of dishes

We had a lovely selection of vegan gluten free dishes. We asked about gluten free and the owner went out of her way to make sure we had a tasty mix. This turned out to be well worth a diversion on our way home.

Delicious

Delicious food for lunch. I shared 3 small plates plus hummus with my non vegan friend and it was so tasty. Great service. We had the chocolate truffle tart for pudding which was amazing and you wouldn't have known that it was vegan. Nice coffee in good size mugs too.

Pros: Small plates option so could try different foods, Chocolate truffle tart

Cons: Toilet needs decorating and better lighting

Loves Cafe

Nice cafe set on two levels with plenty of indoor seating. I didn’t have a booking but there was no problem accommodating me. Regularly changing menu, only feedback I would have is it’s a little limited on choice and every option involved a bread product this week which may not suit everyone. I went with the pesto mushrooms on sourdough, my goodness this was so mouthwateringly delicious! Decent sized portion, felt it was good value. Cold, hot and alcoholic drinks on offer. Accepts cards. Step free entrance to ground floor area and toilets also on this level. Dog friendly cafe. Staff friendly and welcoming. Loved the maps decorating the walls. Only open in the evening for special events.

Nice food, spotty service

Stopped by on a relatively quiet Sunday. We took a couple of seats upstairs to watch the world go by.

We had a little wait before we could order our drinks and, when we eventually came to order our food, the things that we were not available, which was a shame.

I ordered the shakshuka, while my husband had beans on toast with a side of bubble and squeak.

In the end, we waited well over an hour for food. When we noticed that there were tables that had arrived after us getting their food, I enquired and it turned out there had been confusion in the kitchen and our ticket was at the end. The staff were lovely and very apologetic about the mix up. We waited yet longer for our plates to arrive...

We'd almost given up, but I'm glad we hung on as the food was fab. Really decent portion sizes for the price (huge bowl of shakshuka!). Really hearty and warming food.

Pros: Decent sized meals, Delicious food

Cons: Hit and miss service

Cake stop!

We briefly visited to pick up some bakes to eat after our litter pick with the Marine Conservation Society and Sophie’s Super Litter Picking Group.
The millionaires shortbread was yummy and the brownie was a melt in your mouth experience - so much softer than any i have had before!
I do recommend!

Pros: Yummy bakes, Close to the beach front

Food was nice

Visited as a group of 6 and due to our trip being last minute we hadn’t booked. But thankfully they were able to accommodate us. They were out of a few things but think we arrived towards the end of the lunch and they had been busy. The food was nice though

Loved this place

Got the bubble & squeak with beans and lemon spinach. I'd never had this dish before and I loved it so much! My partner got the bravas quesadilla and it was lovely as well. We had the banoffee cake for dessert, also a 10/10. I'll be back! We were so hungry we forgot to take pictures before eating. They rotate the menus so might find a completely different one every time you go, which to me is a plus.

Amazing toasted sandwich

Just on a day trip from Bristol and it’s lovely to be able to get vegan food in a seaside town. They had a limited menu but all the dishes were really different. I had the pesto and cheese toastie and added mushrooms. The sandwich was huge and full of flavour. I think the pesto was well balanced in the toastie. The flat white was nice too.

Nice service and there were a good number of seats in the cafe

Lovely food

The food was gorgeous, I had the toastie that was served in a wrap instead of bread but was lovely and partner had mushrooms on toast. Excellent food, however service was poor. Maybe it was the waiter's first day but he didn't know what drinks they sold, bought the ice after we'd finished our drinks, serviettes never arrived despite being asked. All simple things. Maybe putting the drinks on the back of the menu might have helped.

Much appreciated

To find a fully vegan eatery anywhere is always a treat. To find one in a place not renowned for support all things vegan, it's a victory.

Simple and tasty snacks, large and small plates and desserts.

Nice drink selection too.

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: a tad salty

Delicious

Happened across Loves today - what a find!

I had the rice kimchi bowl and my partner had the Rummaniyah (stew). Both really delicious and would have again!

The table next to us ordered the vegan roast. Sadly I couldn't eat two whole main courses but it looks/ smells amazing.

Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, Cool venue
