Very extensive vegan menu, even for kids

Great vegan options, everything from salads to paninis to "chicken" nuggets, good value too.
Was especially pleased to see a vegan children's menu!

Impressive

A whole vegan menu! Great to see. Only had a oat latte (which was good) but will return for food another time. Took my eco mug and they kindly gave me money off my drink!

Pros: Whole vegan menu with lots of options, Encourage eco mugs and beach cleans, On the beach behind the sand dunes!

Cons: Not wholly vegan😒

Best vegan food on the North Coast

We have only visited the area for a few days, but this place is clearly heads and shoulders above everything else have tried. Separate vegan and gluten free menus! Vegan carrot cake, ginger cake! Toasties, burgers, soups, loaded potatoes, and full breakfast! Plus a wide range of coffees and teas. I had the Brie, bacon, and carmelized onion toastie, it was fantastic! Highly recommended!

Pros: Extensive vegan menu, Great beachside location, High quality food

Went here for my mums bday brekkie

Not just vegan options but a vegan menu! (And gluten free one too) 🌱

I had their vegan bacon Brie panini 🥪 😋
Was quite nice. The slaw wasn’t brilliant. The salad plain. But sandwich was lovely.

The Lux vegan hot chocolate however wasn’t worth it. Warmed up milk with some chocolate 🤷‍♀️

But I enjoyed my panini and would absolutely come back.

Amazing Vegan Options!

I found the place a little hard to find but so glad i found it! Staff are really friendly and the vegan options are amazing a whole two page vegan menu. Also a great location for a day on the beach. They also give you the option of sausage type either richmonds, soy or vegetable which is great to give people a choice☺️

Would give 5 stars

The owners are vegan and the this clearly shows as the vegan option are very good with we'll thought out options

I understand why the sell both vegan and non vegan options as they need to keep the sales up in a competitive area, and until there are enough people who are vegan and can support the company wholly then it is what it is but we have eaten here every day during out short break and would highly recommend it

Vegan kids menu also available

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff very attentive , Clean and tidy plus pet friendly

Cons: Non

Great selection and location

Lovely, rustic beach cafe in Old Hunstanton. Mix of basic cafe food (eg. chips and sausage) plus home made (bean chilli, curry). Spoilt for choice. Fresh options definitely the way to go. Staff very friendly.

Fantastic Find!

Enjoyed the food here so much, we visited twice on our week in Norfolk. They have an entire menu dedicated to vegan food, I found it difficult to choose! Lovely setting, and dog friendly too.
The first time I had the Bac'n, Brie & Caramelised onion panini which came with salad, slaw & crisps. The second time I had to try the Beyond Burger, which came with chips, salad, onion rings & slaw... both were really tasty & great portions.
They also have icecreams for sell, and had the vegan magnums.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, good price, dog friendly

Cons: Too far to visit from home😄

Great Vegan Menu

Visited here twice on our recent trip to Old Hunstanton and was really impressed with the range.

First I had a vegan “bacon and brie” panini and it was yummy.

Next I had a vegan Chicken nuggets and chips. Really good sized portions.

The ice cream shack outside has 3 different vegan ice creams.

NOTE: The cones are not vegan (so get a tub). I wasn’t told this on my first order so I ate it by mistake, which is a real shame. However, not a deal breaker for me so I had an ice cream the second day in a tub. Delicious.

Pros: Great menu, Lots of choice, Fantastic location

Lovely lunch and staff

Went with my 2 veggie daughters. Full vegan menu, so much choice. Good quality ingredients, lovely fresh food, well seasoned. Even vegan Mayo, marshmallows, cream and 3 plant milks! Would give 5 stars if I could (can’t because it’s not fully veggie/vegan).

Pros: Lots of vegan choice, Lovely staff , Lovely food

Cons: None!

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Dog friendly, Lovely staff

Cons: Lack of obvious parking?

Superb cakes 👍👌

Been on two separate occasions for breakfast, which is spot on.
Nice oat latte too.
But the cakes are mega.
Loads of mains on a separate vegan menu too.
Probably the best in North Norfolk 👍👌
