100% vegan cafe

This place is amazing. The salted ‘beef’ pretzel was lush as was the sausage melt. The food and coffee even impressed my omni husband.

Definitely take time to check out the store inside too. #Veganuary

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: Not always enough seating when busy

Delitful vegan cafe

Nice interior , like the aspect it's a cafe and a little shop at the same time, was reasonably priced . Would definitely return. Good place to take non vegan friends and family.

Gorgeous Cafe!

Gutted to have gotten here close to the end of the day as their savoury food had run out! Absolutely gorgeous cafe on the inside with some amazing shelves inside that are full of different vegan wonders. Huge drinks menu with every milk alternative you could think of and loads of different sweet treats that come in hefty portions. Full of people which is a good sign and I couldn’t recommend coming here enough!

Pros: Clean and beautiful interior, 100% vegan menu

Cons: Expensive- £2.40 for a tea

Vegan Oasis

Visiting Plymouth for the day we were delighted to stumble across this vegan cafe, and rule 2 of being vegan is you must NEVER pass a fully vegan business- so I didn’t. There is a great little shop to the rear where I stocked up on vegan favourites…. and potential new favourites!
The cakes looked fab and there was plenty of choice, but on this occasion we settled for coffees and they were delicious. I’d certainly head for this cafe if I visited Plymouth again.

Pros: Fully vegan, Great coffee, Great Art/ambiance

Cons: None, None!, None!!

Expensive but worth it

We didn’t expect to stumble across this lovely cafe but it was an unexpected treat. Everything was spot on, the cake in particular was amazing. It is expensive at just over £5 for a sandwich but the portions are large and it’s delicious.

Pros: All vegan , Very friendly staff, Large indoor space, plenty of seating

Cons: Expensive

An amazing little cafe in the city centre. Delicious sandwiches, drinks and cakes.

Best vegan café ever!!

This was my favourite café when I lived in Plymouth! I used to visit at least once and a week for a cherry hot chocolate and to do some shopping (as they have a cute little health food shop too).
They have the most delicious vegan food, ranging from (sustainably) packaged sandwiches to light lunches and the best cake ever! They also do an incredible vegan breakfast (with scrambled tofu)!
The café itself its so beautiful and cosy with lots of plants, and the owners are so friendly and welcoming 😊

Pros: 100% vegan!

Power plant!!

Great 100% vegan cafe in the centre of Plymouth. Had matcha summer latte and biscoff doughnut, which were both delightful. There’re a lot of choices for treats and sandwiches. The shop had good selection of vegan products too. Lovely place, can see myself come here regularly if I lived here. Unfortunately, I’m just visiting Plymouth. Definitely recommended. 😊

Super cute little cafe with good selection

Really liked the ambiance of the cafe and the staff were super friendly. We had two sandwiches and a choc chip cookie. The BLT was by far our fave, the chicken mayo one was good but could use a little more flavour, same for the cookie. Drinks were 10/10!

Pros: Great selection, Awesome drinks, Reasonable pricing

Cons: Would have loved more breakfast options

The café also has a small vegan shop at the back.
The café is also dog friendly!!

Pros: The hole cafe is vegan

plymouth’s best vegan venue

I had the scrambled tofu with cajun spiced fries, really tasty and big portions. The fries are a must try and very cheap. My (meat eating) friend had the breakfast and was really impressed.

Pros: All vegan!, big portions, fairly cheap , lovely environment

Phenomenal Vegan Shop

Fantastic vegan shop filled with all my favourites from the UK and the States. You can find wholesome plant-based health foods, and also fun stuff like vegan meats, lollies etc. Loads of great products, they certainly deserve your support!

Great shop

This is a really lovely shop, and best of all, everything in it is vegan. It's not huge, but there's a wide range of products, both health and beauty and food. We picked up a few things I've never seen elsewhere before including a few different flavoured creme eggs, as well as some amazing 'Melting Pot' chocolate orange fudge. I'll definitely be popping back in next time I'm in Plymouth.

Pros: Interesting and different products, Good fridge section, Nice staff

Great little shop

I popped in to Ethica on a trip to Plymouth and was pleasantly surprised. It stocks many vegan products that are hard to find in the UK like Follow Your Heart, Mozzarisella & Vegusto, as well as many Amy's Kitchen foods, Vbites, sweets, sweet sauces, cooking sauces, vegan beans and sausage etc. I definitely recommend going out of your way to visit. I got a bag full for £30 too so it was excellent value for money! 100% will return if I'm in Plymouth again.

Pros: Hard to find products, Reasonable prices , Good variety

Vegan Heaven?

Such a good store to browse around with loads of interesting and new vegan products. The shop is small, however stuffed to the brim; nonetheless. The confectionary/sweets/chocolate range is incredible, enough to get any vegan excited!! They even had Lenny & Larry's cookies which I have been looking EVERYWHERE for. They also have an extensive cosmetics and beauty range, as well as labelling everything clearly with an "O" for organic, "L" for local and "C" for gives to charity. Overall a great place to visit if yore around Plymouth.

Pros: lots of vegan sweets , decent price , cosmetic range

A Level Ethics

Not sure if you can still study ethics at A level and why would you want to. You certainly wouldn't learn about animal cruelty I'm sure. Ethica is a great modern store packed full of vegan goodies in the form of foodstuffs, confectionery, toiletries, vitamin products, household items and baking ingredients. There is a large upright fridge and freezer section at the rear well stocked with the likes of Frys, Vegusto, Tofurkey and V-Bites items as well as other more unusual and rarer items imported from Europe. For example, vegan cheeses and sausages from Germany. This place will certainly give Holland and Barrett a run for it's money and I know who I would rather be giving my money too that's for sure.

Pros: Modern, Great range, Ethical
