Lots of vegan and veggie options

I enjoyed their oat latte and a very filling vegan pancake stack with blueberries, maple syrup and vegan cream. Friendly service and laidback atmosphere too.

Worth the stop

This was my second time here, I could have sworn I had left a review before. Given its location, it has an impressive range of vegan offerings. I only wish I'd had time to go back for hot chocolate and waffles.
Expect a bit of a long wait for food as it'll probably be busy. Only one vegan cake out of the ones on offer.

Very nice cafè

They have a breakfast and a lunch menu both with a separate vegan section. Very nice options. I had the roll with tofu mushroom and avocado. Roll was soft, filling was great. I also tried the hot chocolate and it was really good! Place was nice and staff was lovely and attentive.

Nice lunch stop

The service was very friendly and attuned to vegan options. Has an entirely separate vegan menu. Highly recommend the smash wrap for lunch. I wish they had more vegan desserts but they did have a veg carrot cake.

Vegan Menu

Enjoyed the 100% vegan menu. Had a filled roll with mushroom, avocado, tofu scramble and coleslaw and cajun fries. Also, it is a lovely vegan hot chocolate with cream. Great staff who helped me decide what to order.

Good pancakes

It’s a bit of an unusual place being on an industrial estate and inside a gift shop/homeware/place you can paint pottery. It’s good that they have a vegan menu. We got got some vegan pancakes. They only had child size portion left but this was filling enough (2 instead of three pancakes)and they tasted good. The breakfast feast on the other hand was a bit disappointing- not really a feast, it was a bit basic and bland tasting & not good value for money (you’d expect some vegan sausages or something & some homemade elements). I’d go again for the pancakes only

Not as good as it used to be

I was here years ago so really exited to go back on a recent holiday. They have a separate vegan menu and staff are lovely. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. My toast was undercooked and had everything put in it so was soggy, the tofu didn’t taste nice and the avocado was completely black in the middle. I really hope this was a one off as it’s got so much potential.

Pros: Vegan menu, Lovely staff , Plenty options for all the family

Cons: Really bad experience. Food wasn’t good

Full Vegan menu available

No spending your lunch looking for little green dots or vg's, Route 7 has all their vegan food on a full menu. And there are plenty of options. Surprisingly cozy upper floor cafe. Tasty food and helpful staff.

Good place; open Sundays

We liked this places - separate vegan menu, including hot drinks like hot chocolate w cream. Got the burger and it was a house made lentil/chickpea burger. Very tasty and service was friendly.

Good for a quick meal

A bit outside of the city center. Lots of vegan options! Overall cheap. I think this is more targeted for locals working in the area, even though they seem to have a bunch of tourist awards (TripAdvisor, etc.).

Everything tasted good. The staff was friendly.

Very nice

I would give this 5* but sadly Happy Cow doesn't allow it which I think is a bit annoying.

Partner has a Lentil burger (can't remember what else it was made of but it was so good) and I had a falafel wrap. Wrap was also lovely (I would have added a bit more falafel but that's my only nitpick). Coleslaw was amazing.

Pros: Delicious food , Lots of vegan options, Cosy atmosphere

Amazing vegan breakfast

The vegan breakfast roll with scrambled tofu, hash brown and avocado was fantastic. Perfect way to fuel for a hike. The place is really lovely, and so are the staff. Highly recommend!

I went here for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the vegan offerings. We ordered delicious pancakes (that just happen to be vegan) and lovely spicy tofu with avocado on sourdough.

It is clear this cafe does a lot of the community in offering jobs/apprenticeships to youngsters which is fabulous to see. All the staff who served us were polite and professional and made us feel very much welcome and at ease.

Will be back!

Great place, 100 % recommended

A lovely spot in Aviemore with a beautiful interior and great food. I went there to celebrate the end of my seasonal job in Aviemore, and I was not disappointed. They have a separate vegan breakfast and lunch menu, and the service is fast and friendly.
