Best in Winchester

I can't believe I've been to Winchester a hundred times but never visited the Open House Deli! The place was comfortingly busy and we enjoyed looking around the shop after lunch. I didn't see any meat on the menu at all but a few dishes had eggs/cheese. I had 3 of the 4 salad options available and they were all delicious; fresh ingredients, great flavours, decent portions. Nice coffee too. I'll be back!

Best vegan food in winch?!

Just a note I’ve been going here for well over a year now and never noticed them selling meat options. It’s always veggie and most leans vegan!
I love this place, it is a little pricey but it is all wholefood home made and i think locally sourced so when you take that into account it’s a fair price. (Also it’s winchester, what do ya expect)

Pros: Wholefood, Mostly vegan, Little eco shop!

Cons: Isnt fully vegan, Lunch is usually sold out so fast!, I would prefer some squishy chairs to lounge in 😂

Very vegan friendly!

Loved this café! There are too few places doing fresh salad counters and the selection here was delicious. The aubergine and black bean hotpot was spiced and nourishing (although could have used a sprinkle to liven it up visually), with vegan butter available for the toast on the side. The sandwich and cake options looked tempting too, all clearly marked up.

It's a big place so no worries about getting a table and much of it's buffet service which means it's speedy. The deli and eco shop had a great range too.

Amazing cafe and eco shop

I’m so glad I found this place (thank you Happy Cow!). There are many vegan options and all made using in season produce. The staff are super helpful and friendly, able to answer all questions about ingredients and what is best. Highly recommend

Overpriced

This has been my favourite place to buy lunch. Their salads change every month and are vegan and mostly gluten free too. They have vegan sweet things that are mostly gluten free as well. The staff are always ready to help with any questions about intolerances but they’ve gotten mean with portion sizes and amount of salad dressing. It’s such a shame it used to be amazing, I’ve gone elsewhere now

Friendly and loads of vegan options

This is one of my favourite places to go when I'm in Winchester. The cafe has a real sustainability focus and over the years has doubled as a bike repair cafe and now an eco/zero waste shop. Staff are friendly, loads of vegan options every time, and the ingredients are locally sourced. Would always recommend.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good value, Lots of options

Delicious ratatouille

Very friendly staff, and great range of vegan and vegetarian options as well as gluten-free options. I had the ratatouille and I also sampled the excellent salads and fritters. All very tasty. I bought a vegan muffin to take home and it was great.

Interesting cafe/...bike shop?

I’ve walked by this place many times and always been too confused to go in, but I finally decided to check it out yesterday and am glad I did. They had a delicious looking selection of pastries (some vegan) for breakfast, but I ended up going for one of their delightful porridge options. On the menu it says all their porridge is made with almond milk, but I’m (very sadly) allergic to almonds and my server said it would be no problem to make it with coconut milk instead. It was beautifully presented and was a delightful combination of pecans, pumpkin seeds, and housemade fruit compote. I also had a coconut milk late that was the best coffee I’ve had in ages. I had a little browse through their sustainable living section afterwards and got some cute reusable sandwich pouches. They also had a produce table, so they have a lot to offer!
I’m still not entirely sure what’s up with the connected bike shop. It seems to be some kind of community focused non-profit that offers affordable repairs, lessons, and second hand bikes for sale? I don’t know if it was a bike shop first and they decided to add a cafe onto it for extra income or what. It’s in the same room, but the cafe is kind of separated from it by the seating area, so it’s just kind of in the background doing its own thing.
There was a hand sanitizer station at the entrance, and hand sanitizers on all of the tables, which were well spaced, so I felt comfortable enough with social distancing to eat inside.

Pros: Tasty vegan options, Sustainability products for sale, Comfortable pandemic measures

Cons: Could be better advertised, not just for cyclists
