A delight, with a great menu - Edit
This place is a delight. You should lunch here!
Read moreThe menu is really interesting, and we were really struggling to decide which to go for. We had the not-crab benedict (!) and the chickpea omelette, and both were fantastic. Looking forward to trying more from them, next time we're near York!

Fantastic - Edit
Been going here very regularly for years and doesn't disappoint. Surprised I'd not added this sooner. Good variety, lovely staff and of course 100% vegan, say no more

So many options! - Edit
It’s great to see Source open again and fully vegan. Last time I went (a number of years ago!) it wasn’t a vegan restaurant.
Read moreBooked in advance for brunch on a Sunday. It was very busy so I would definitely recommend booking ahead. We chose it because it had such an extensive menu for brunch which is unusual. Other restaurants that do brunch tend to only offer a few options even when they’re a fully vegan restaurant.
I had the crab benedict and shared the loaded corn bread. Portions were a good size but I definitely needed the corn bread as well. My only issue was the food was a little under seasoned for my taste. I felt like the tofu and hollandaise could’ve had some black salt/more salt in it. The taste was still great though.
It was also nice to see some people sat next to us who weren’t vegan but were interested in the food.

Amazing food and atmosphere. - Edit
A fantastic place with endless options, and everything we've tried has been so good. Also kid friendly - they loved the french toast with maple syrup and berries, and the delicious smoothies. The staff were very friendly, service was quick and the vibe was good.

It was recommended and didn’t disappoint - Edit
Having read my blog review of Döner Summer some friends recommended we try Soutce. Some other (non-vegan) friends wanted us to go out for a meal with them and asked for recommendations so we suggested giving Source a try - and it didn’t disappoint.
Read moreMy wife regularly eats vegan to support me but for a couple of the non-vegan friends this was a new experience. A couple had a veg curry and one tried the burger and was absolutely blown away by it!
I tried the banana blossom vish and chips. Had had this elsewhere and had struggled a bit with it, but thinking it was maybe because I had had a battered starter too on that occasion it had just been too much batter, I thought I would give it another go. I’m glad I did
My wife’s salad bowl looked stunning - and that’s what I’ll be ordering next time, because we’ll certainly be back!
Pros: Fully vegan , Prices fair , Friendly staff

Delicious food! - Edit
On holidays in Yorkshire this was the first fully vegan restaurant we visted. There was so much choice, the menu had something for everyone. Kids loved the kids menu and vegan ice cream and grown ups had the lobster salad sandwich (pictured) and poke bowl which were delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming, would definitely go back if I am in York again.

It’s so good we went 3 nights in a row!! - Edit
My wife and I first decided to try Source because of its good reviews and its proximity to our hotel. Little did we know we’d be back every night of our stay in York. Every night we tried something new and every time we were incredibly impressed with the quality and taste of the food and the very friendly staff. We had the BBQ Short Rib, the Buddha bowl, the Poke bowl, the Shakshuka, the Mushroom Shwarma, and the Not Lobster & Mac entrees. We also had the Vegetable Gyozas and Loaded VFC bites as appetizers. I highly recommend you give them a try if you live near or are visiting York.
Read morePros: Entirely vegan menu, Great service, even better food, Moderately priced

Wish I could’ve eaten more - Edit
It was all so tasty! I wish I was in York for longer because I would’ve loved to have gone back again.
Read moreWe had the banana blossom fish and the “salmon” with tofu scramble. Sourdough was gorgeous, portions were sizeable but not overwhelming, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating.
Can’t wait to come back on our next visit!

Superb - Edit
Visited for evening meal and whole experience was excellent. Nice atmosphere, lots of choice on the menu and reasonable prices. I had the nachos and my partner had the 'ribs'. Personally I am not a big fan of vegan food imitating meat dishes, but it is done well and there are lots of other options like the Buddha bowl, and salads.

Amazing Vegan French Toast! - Edit
I visited Source mainly because I wanted to try the famous Vegan French Toast. The menu was so extensive, with so many amazing options but I went for the French Toast and the Kale Kick Smoothie. The smoothie was really nice, a tasty yet healthy smoothie. It was quite expensive at £6 but was worth it. The French Toast was by far the highlight though! It was AMAZING! Definitely lived up to the hype. I would return just to have it again. It was a huge portion and was so tasty and sweet! A vegan first for me and I loved it! Would love to return for the Lunch and Dinner menu. Staff were lovely too and it’s really nice to sit in aswell. Despite it being quite pricey, it’s definitely worth it because all of the ingredients are high quality and it’s some of the best vegan food you can find in York (and one of the only fully vegan food venues in York).

Nicest tofu I have ever tried - Edit
Visited York for a few days and went back to Source twice. Smoked salmon (carrot) was absolutely amazing. A little unusual at first but I can't stop thinking about it months later! The scrambled tofu was the nicest tofu I have ever tried!! If you're visiting you seriously need to try the scrambled tofu! I wish I could make it that nice - I asked for it on my breakfast too because I loved it that much. Breakfast was also nice - the black pudding is bland but everything else was really nice. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting York!

Busy but worth it! - Edit
We had lunch on a Saturday (peak time assuming!), it was pretty rammed but worth it. I had the chickpea omelette and my partner had the full English. Omelette was really nice, very different to anything similar I'd had before. Sausages were also a highlight. Only downside was the tea, would have liked a pot rather than just a cup. Reasonably priced, would definitely return.

Best Vegan Brunch - Edit
I visited York for a weekend with a large group of vegans, this was one place I really wanted to eat at and we loved it so much we came back the next day! The scrambled tofu was amazing, as was the full English. The place was very busy which shows how popular it is but the staff were attentive and service was surprisingly quick!

Incredible - Edit
The food is delicious! I highly recommend the chickpea omelette, as it tasted like an egg omelette- so good! The smoothies are refreshing too. There is a range of options available, including lighter options as well as bigger meals, and cakes. The service is excellent too, with very friendly staff and the food arrived quite quickly. It IS quite expensive here, but for a high quality fully vegan café, that's understandable! Please open more branches of Source, in the East Midlands and coastal towns!
