Delicious Mac and cheese - Edit
Nice relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. The Mac and Cheese was delicious and very well presented. My partner had the tofu burger which he said was a little tough. We also had chocolate orange cake and cheesecake which I forgot to take pictures off. They were very yummy. They had a big selection of cakes and it was difficult to pick! Their milkshakes are really good too!

No wheelchair access - Edit
Firstly, I love it in here. Food is amazing and I love the rustic vibe. As a vegan I want to support small and local businesses but why oh why in 2025 is there no wheelchair access? You can't do anything about the step into the building but you absolutely can have a portable ramp or even a plank of wood to get into the building. Very sad to just have to wait outside for a takeaway...

Quiet but delicious breakfast - Edit
I guess Wednesday morning is not a busy time for eating out for breakfast in Bournemouth. Swopped my hotel breakfast for a full vegan offering from Mad Cucumber, accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack of tunes. It was a good choice. All the flavoursome elements worked with herby sausages, tofu scrambled with a bit of tumeric.
Read moreLiked the shabby chic vibe of the place but with only two other customers during my stay the venue lacked a buzz. I'm sure it is busier at other times - I hope so.
Pros: Good food, Good tunes, Liked the shabby decor
Cons: Full vegan breakfast was a tad pricey., Friendly but reserved service.

Great place to eat! - Edit
Highly recommend visiting here if you are in the area. We went for lunch a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t fault anything. There were games available to play at the table which kept our son entertained. They allow dogs and will bring over water for them if needed. Great menu options with a specials board as well. Cakes are on the counter and are fabulous! We ended up taking several away with us. Great choice of drinks too.
Read morePros: Great menu choices, Child and dog friendly

Great vibe. Great food. - Edit
My family and I had a trip to Bournemouth booked, and I looked up places to eat on Happy Cow and spotted this. So glad we went, as the food was delicious. As the smoothies are made fresh, they offered to remove the ginger from my daughter's berry smoothie. Every was delicious and tasted fresh. Nice boho vibe that I loved. Will visit again if we are back in the area.

Awesooome - Edit
Definitely our favourite in Bournemouth so far. Awesome food and awesome service. We had a burger with coleslaw and sourdough bread with avocado and were very happy. As a dessert, we shared a biscoff milkshake which was to die for. Definitely recommended. The only minor thing was that they don't have A/C but that would be fine during most days.

Came for brunch, lovely food, friendly staff - Edit
Food was nice. I ordered the fry up and my wife the Pittaya bowl.
Read moreBig portions and the food was very good. 5/5 for food.
The only reason no 5 stars is that the matcha latte wasn't all that strong and the coffee latte was average.
Food wise, no complaints! 4.5/5
Pros: Lovely food , Good portions , Friendly staff
Cons: Drinks could have been a little better
