A little underwhelmed - Edit
After seeing all the good reviews on HappyCow, I was really excited to give the source a try!
Read moreI got the loaded vfc bites and Jake got the Asian duck (oyster mushrooms in hoisin sauce) then we shared some fries and some frickles🍟
It was all tasty, I don’t know why but I felt a little underwhelmed about the experience and the food. The menu didn’t excite me and the portions were huge so we struggled to finish it!!
The place was small but there were so many tables, so it felt a bit claustrophobic and busy - a little hard to have conversation because of the noise.
If I was to suggest anything, I’d get the vfc bites!!
Pros: Tasty vfc bites, Huge portions
Cons: Loud, Claustrophobic , Expensive

A source of goodness - Edit
We went here for lunch and ordered the crab benedict and VFC Zinger burger, plus a kids meal for our young son, from the impressive menu selection.
Read moreThe crab benedict was sensational with the crab style cakes so flavourful and seasoned perfectly, with such a great texture. The grilled tofu was also excellent, whilst the signature hollandaise sauce was divine. Each mouthful felt heavenly, it was soooo good.
The burger was also superb, with the texture of the chicken and bacon so realistic. Great chips and slaw too. In total we spent £35, which was a little expensive, but well worth it in my opinion, considering the quality of the food. Even the kids meal was excellent.
The staff are friendly but best to book ahead to avoid disappointment. We only just got a table. Highly recommended.
Pros: Great food, Impressive menu , Staff
Cons: Reservations advised

Excellent lavours - Edit
My sister was touring me around York and then we wanted to stop for lunch. We did try to go to a vegan Mexican place but it seemed to be in a food court and they usually only have disposables - I don't eat from disposables.
Read moreMy sister is not vegan and she was getting hungry. I looked at Happy Cow and saw that this restaurant was close. We walked over to it.
My sister was a little leery about going to a vegan restaurant but this eatery came through for me.
The food was excellent, the service was very good (the server brought more water without being asked), the food was well presented, the portions were good, and the price point was reasonable. My sister was impressed and said that she would return to eat here again because of the quality.
I had the chickpea omelet with gluten-free sourdough toast and my sister had the cornbread. She only ate half of it because it was quite filling for her (I ate the other half of it). Both items were very tasty.
Everything seemed to be done from scratch but the food came out in a reasonable about of time (less than 15 minutes).
Pros: Very tasty, Good service, Very pleasant space

Cosy, chilled vibe - Edit
We loved that the whole place was vegan only (not many around) and that it obviously had a good reputation as it was busy - this was in between Xmas and new year. Good choice on the menu.

Absolutely bloody brilliant! - Edit
We’re in York for a few days so scoped out a few vegan places, this one has definitely exceeded our expectations. The menu is so big, it took me ages to decide what to have. They’ve got Christmas specials on at the moment too. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. Loved the decor and atmosphere. Will probably visit again during this trip!

Really tasty options - Edit
We had the grilled avocado (on sourdough) and the Buddha bowl, with the Mac and cheese fries which were a special. The grilled avocado was really tasty, and a good sized portion, and the Buddha bowl was really good too. The Mac and cheese fries were not my favourite, a bit more cheesy-ness would’ve been nice. We also had dessert- the chocolate coffee pot and biscoff cheesecake, both of which I would recommend and get again.

Excellent Vegan Food - Edit
Great menu, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. We asked for ketchup with our chips and we were charged 50p, which isn't a big deal but I do think condiments should be included, especially as the burger & chips is nearly £17. The food was excellent though and I really enjoyed it. It was busy on a Saturday so I suggest booking a table.
