A must-try and amazing food

Monstera is a lovely café with welcoming staff, and had an amazing amount of food options.

We had the Not Today Seitan Burger Box (£9 for a burger, fries, chicken bits, coleslaw and mac and cheese!) and the Mac To The Future with both sides. We also ordered a portion of Seoul bites.

The Seoul bites were so delicious, would recommend getting those if you visit. The food overall was amazing and the portion sizes are really great for the price, we were both stuffed and our bill came to just £25 which included a drink each too.

Would 10/10 recommend!

Hidden gem which deserves a lot of support!

Just had an amazing meal here. So tasty, not a fan of seitan as find it dense and heavy but I'm converted! Buffalo burger box meal was ace, best burger I've ever had the side of Mac was top too! Would have that on its own sometime! Fantastic menu, too hard to choose from 🤣! Specials board equally as attractive!

Pros: All vegan menu, Reasonably priced, Friendly staff

Cons: Opening hours.

Great vegan breakfast

I had an enjoyable morning in this cafe, trying the pancake stack. It was a great blend of sweet and savoury, full of different flavours. There are plenty other breakfast/brunch options that look equally as good.
Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. I'd happily return for breakfast or lunch should I find myself in Luton again

Pros: Great vegan breakfast, Friendly

Tasty and affordable little café

Monstera is a really cute little café with a cosy decor and lovely staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

I was impressed with how extensive the menu was, and it had a lot of interesting options. I also liked that it had so many meal deals, giving us a chance to try different things as part of the same meal.

I went for the Not Today Seitan Burger Box (a steal at £9 for a burger, fries, chicken bits, coleslaw and mac and cheese!), my partner went for Mac To The Future with both sides, and we also shared a portion of Seoul bites.

The Seoul bites were amazing – crispy, perfectly cooked and served with a delicious sauce!

I also really enjoyed my burger box. The burger was really tasty and fresh, the chimken strips were delicious and the rest of the food was really tasty too. My partner also loved her Mac To The Future.

We were both really stuffed after our food, and our bill came to just £25 (and that included a drink each too!)

Pros: Excellent value, Delicious food, Big portions

Lovely Staff and great cakes

Really sweet little place with a lovely owner. I had the mac and cheese with a fake meat which was very salty with the pasta being a bit bland which was disappointing BUT the Viennese whirl was so so good and I would strongly recommend.

Love this place

Usually everything I have eaten here is very taste and full of flavour, however the last time I ate here the burger meal was just so greasy and no taste at all😡

Pros: Fully vegan, Reasonable prizing, Good food

Cons: The opening times, closed everytime I wanna order, Sometimes too busy to even get order in

Great little cafe in the heart of Luton. Plenty of nearby parking. Good choice of dishes to suit everyone. Owners very accommodating. Be aware it is a small venue though so not much seating!

Pros: Great select of dishes, Plenty of parking, Super friendly

Cons: A bit tight for space inside.

Loved it!

Cute interior, good price, great service and DELICIOUS food! So many options but we both went for the daily special, which was a lovely mix of different things. The Mac and cheese was a bit salty, but balanced out with everything else on the plate. Good portions too -- we were too full even though deserts looked lush too!

Pros: Lots of options, Good price, Cute place

Good value vegan diner

Finally got a chance to visit this place. It’s a small vegan cafe with a diner feel, not too pretentious but nicely decorated and unapologetically vegan. We ordered a hoisin burger meal which comes with chips, coleslaw, Mac and cheese & chicken strips; and also a donna’s kebab rice box. Portions were very big (couldn’t finish them) and food was very reasonably priced. The food was really tasty, especially the flavour and texture of the burger patty which was in panko breadcrumbs. Would fully recommend

Pros: All vegan cafe & run by vegans , Great food at great prices , Nice friendly staff

Cons: Small venue- 4 tables , Reduced opening hours, Need to wipe the tables down more

Super tasty, best hot choc ever

Small cosy place with seating for about a dozen, easy to find and very friendly staff.

I had a hot chocolate on a whim and actually loved it, I don't usually😁Then had the buffalo burger as a box meal. Didn't have a chance of finishing it all but loved it! The chicken bits were quite salty but otherwise every bite was perfection. Really generous size seitan burger too and made a lovely change from the standard veggie burgers or meatlike patties you get in pubs as a vegan option now.

Definitely plan to go back!

Pros: Really tasty food, Lovely atmosphere, Has a toilet
