The best vegan place I know - Edit
I regularly eat at Monstera for both the friendly environment (the owners are the nicest guys) and amazing food. There's such a range in option and the specials are always crazy good too.

Why have I not been here before?! - Edit
I can’t believe that I’ve lived so close to such an amazing place and not heard about it until now! We need to spread the news, get the word out there😄

Food is amazing, prepped and cooked fresh in front of your eyes. Lots of choice and they are happy to adapt the menu for you. Service is brilliant, they are so friendly and helpful. Such a relaxed environment. The take away curry club is also fantastic, and as are their bakery bits (doughnuts, rocky road, brownies)
Cannot fault it in the slightest, perfect for vegans and non vegans alike.
Get your bum here sharpish!

Phenomenal - Edit
Visited this lovely cafe yesterday with two non-vegans. I was absolutely gobsmacked at the variety of choice, even though we arrived 40 mins before closing. They prepared all the food fresh to order, and it was ALL DELICIOUS. I had the bbq jackfruit toastie and would 10/10 recommend. My friends had the hoisin tofu and the phily chee!e steak. SO DELICIOUS. The non-vegans absolutely loved everything too. The staff were so friendly.
Read morePros: So much choice, Fresh food, So reasonably priced

I’d heard about Monstera. I’m so glad we’ve got a venue like this in the area. Worth a special trip. Such a friendly, vibrant place. It great to see a business with such passion about what it does. Great coffee and the best brownies I’ve ever had!!

Great food, great service - Edit
I’ve eaten here on multiple occasions and I am yet to be disappointed. It is the first and only vegan eatery in Luton and is very welcomed. I’ve had a vegan kebab, English breakfasts and a variety of baps. The cakes and bakes provide by an external partner are not to go a miss either. Staff are friendly and provide a warm environment when eating in but you also have the convenience of taking food away.

Monstera Canteen - Edit
Sadly couldn’t sit in and had to takeaway due to time. But would’ve loved to stay and chill for a while, it’s a relaxed and cosy environment. The owners were really friendly and made you feel very welcome. There was a lot on the menu I wanted to try but plumped for the Mac and Cheeze which I felt would travel a bit better on the couple of hours journey home. It did and was still delicious heated up later that day. Hope to revisit again soon : )

If you are after good vegan food and a warm welcome then Monstera Canteen is the place to go. Their breakfast tastes amazing and their mac and no cheese was divine! The time and effort put into the ambience and decoration shows and their sweet treats/desserts are sooooo good!
