I think I was far too nice on my last review - Edit
Now let’s really get into the truths
Read more1. Just because it’s bohemian doesn’t mean you can be scruffy with interior and not finished painted walls. That’s no bohemian…that’s just untidy.
2. Stop having a food item on the menu that you haven’t had for over a month
3. The chefs need to be in a uniform. They’re scruffy and unclean.
4. Turn the music down, it isn’t a bar
5. Close the doors…the road is too loud
6. You aren’t upmarket…don’t charge £7 for a basic avocado and toast, on one slice. With a basic topping and a salad with zero dressing.
7. Have the staff in the know…they seem clueless too all questions
8. Tidy up the bathroom
9. Perfect the menu
10. Perfect the food
11. There’s one dish that is nice. But everything else that’s wrong with have me come back. I tried with this place. But I just feel sick the more I think of the chef and the place itself.
You’re in a basic city. You’re not upmarket. The chefs need of tidy up. Get uniforms.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
I went here two times while staying in Bournemouth and tried the Curry and Tofu. It was both amazing and I’d definitely recommend Mad Cucumber. Also, the cakes are fantastic.

Solid vegan option in the triangle - Edit
A great all vegan option if you’re in Bournemouth Town centre. All of the food is vegan and the specials menu changes frequently. Some meals are amazing, others are good but not great. The cakes and deserts are always really tasty. Service can be slow, as all food is cooked to order. It can a bit of a problem if you’re with hungry children!
Read morePros: All vegan , Good atmosphere
Cons: Long wait for food

Good vegan food - Edit
I was late for last food orders, so I had just the pea soup with bread and vegan spread and a piece of pecan pie. Both were good. Would like to try more of the menu. (I was here several years ago, but I’m sure there are new menu items.)
