Southports Vegan cafe in Town Centre

Megafauna is a lovely little place.
And the food is amazing, I have not seen it open for a while, not sure why.
But I think it might be opening up back up soon. Hopefully

A must find if you are in Southport

We visited Southport for a short break and had breakfast here every day. Breakfasts are very filling and set you up for the day.

There's a good amount of choice on the menu and everything is made with care and attention to detail. The owner is very friendly and helpful and an enthusiastic vegan who is keen to educate people about vegan food.

Revisited in January 2024 and now permanently closed sadly 😢

Visited today and apparently it’s been closed a long while! Why is it listed as open on here still?

Permanently Closed

Close this Saturday lunchtime. Have now found they are closed for good as a cafe (post on their Facebook 2nd September). Such a shame as the menu look amazing.

Closed at 12 on a Saturday

Super disappointed to visit on a Saturday lunchtime when HappyCow and megafauna website says they are open. No opening times on door, so no idea if permanently closed or we were just unlucky

Small intimate cafe

I had the chicken and pesto toastie with loaded cheese and bacon fries. The toastie was really nice, very filling and came with a side of coleslaw which I’m always a big fan of. The fries were delicious also, the bacon was the best vegan bacon I’ve ever had. The service was amazing. Only thing I would say is it is quite small with not so many tables and being the only fully vegan place in Southport we could find I’d probably book as it does fill up fast especially on a weekend/bank holiday. All in all I would definitely visit again.

Omelette! Wow

Large vegan menu - I had a delicious spinach and ‘feta’ omelette with side salads. Delicious. Friendly wee place with five tables and bar type seating. I anticipate a return visit

The Best Vegan in Merseyside

I must praise the entire staff including the owner Ben…nothing is ever to much trouble for this team.
A fantastic team if not the best put together behind a restaurant in Southport .
The food is out of this world the knowledge of the chef it’s amazing is always a pleasure to eat there!
I’m not even a vegan but the taste of the food the ingredients put together make one of the best Vegan restaurants around and def my choice to eat out in Southport!
Well done guys !

Mega Awesome Megafauna!

Such a gem of a place for vegan and GF food.
We ordered a mega breakfast and breakfast omelette - OMG both were delicious. The omelette was light and fluffy, and the mega breakfast delivered on all levels. Hot chocolate was really good as was the coffee.
The staff were really friendly and accommodating - brought water and some vegan dog treats for our trio of dogs.
We bought some cake to take out - need to walk off the breakfasts before we tackle it!
Such a great experience and the only downside is that we live over 200 miles away so can't make this a regular haunt!

Pros: Dog friendly, 100% vegan with GF options, Great customer service

Vegan omelette 🤤🤤

Spoilt for choice at this plant based eatery! With sandwiches, toasties, breakfasts including tofu scramble, soups, smoothies,shakes, iced coffees.
I opted for vegan egg omlette stuffed w/ mushrooms cheese and pesto and it was mindblowing! Chips were perfectly seasoned and homemade coleslaw was lush. 😍🤩 partner ordered sausage chips and beans and it came barely warm in a tiny bowl so if ordering off menu maybe specify it isn't for a child 😆😂😂

Pros: Spoilt for choice , Great music 80's electro/punk

Cons: Partners food was delivered in a child's bowl , Beans were cold

Nice little place

Nice staff, nice food. I had the breakfast omellete - it was more of a pancake really, but still really good - they weren't stingy with the filling! So much "cheese"/"sausage"/"bacon"! :-)

Pros: Nice food, Nice staff, Reasonable prices

Cons: Limited opening hours, at least during winter

A must go every time we’re in Southport

Every time we’ve been to Megafauna the food has been amazing - probably our favourite place to visit this way, even over the many places in Liverpool! We stop here whenever we’re up visiting my dad in Southport (usually more than once during our visit too)

Pros: 100% vegan cafe, Best vegan omelette we’ve been able to find, Really friendly, helpful staff

Great vegan lunch place

Just off Lord Street, in the centre of Southport, you'll find this excellent, all-vegan cafe.

We had the seitan chickn & pesto toastie, and the "Feta", Spinach & Tomato toastie, both were really good. Decent cakes too, which they parcelled up for us to take home.

Highly recommended.

Pros: Not expensive, Lovely helpful staff

Cons: Nothing

Oasis of vegan seaside food

Happened to be in Southport and rather surprised when the map threw up "vegan cafe". They were sort of closed but then bent over backwards to be helpful! We had a lovely burger and more loaded fries than we could shake a stick at. Also excellent shake and gluten free victoria sponge!!

Pros: Great diner style food, Really nice helpful staff, Chocolate shake to die for

Cons: Weird opening hours

Lovely all vegan place

I visited here for the first time today, I loved the decor and there was plenty choice on the menu. Decided to go for a toastie with chips. Went for the 'Feta, spinach and tomato' toastie that was served on a ciabatta and came with a side salad and coleslaw. The cheese was very nice!
Lots of options of dessert, cakes and brownies. I chose the Pineapple jam and lemon cake.

Also it is open on Sundays!

Delicious omelette!

The food here all looked amazing - found it so difficult to choose! The breakfast omelette was delicious (it was maybe more like a pancake than an omelette). The banana and peanut butter milkshake was amazing too. Highly recommend.

Favourite cafe in Southport

My favourite place to eat in all of Southport. Their golden houmous is unreal and the best I’ve ever tasted. Do yourself a favour and try the falafel and mango chutney sandwich with a side of houmous. They have a great selection of loose leaf herbal teas, and a range of homemade cakes with good portion sizes. Staff are super friendly and really passionate about their service. Inexpensive compared to other lunch options, especially for a vegan place.

Pros: Fully vegan menu , Homemade cakes, Great selection of teas

Cons: Sometimes tough to get a table - very popular
