Amazing - Edit
Admittedly I do tend to over score vegan businesses, however this one is fully deserving of 5 stars.
Read moreThe service was incredible and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff. The food was incredible as well, definitely one to call into whenever you’re visiting York.

Gorgeous brunch! - Edit
We got the all day breakfast & chickpea omelette and both were delicious! Not sure how they make their omelette but not like others I've tasted before - lovely salsa and tapenade that comes with it too. Tasty smoothie & latte and nice server 😊

Amazing all vegan cafe/restaurant - Edit
The full english was amazing we added in the VFC chicken and the frickles with some slaw on the side. The tempeh, tofu and dausage were stand out parts as well as the VFC popcorn stealing the end of the show. If you go to york, go with an empty belly to make sure you can enjoy as much as you can here. #Veganuary

Delicious vegan food - Edit
This brilliant fully vegan café in the heart of York has loads of delicious options, to suit both Vegans & non-Vegans alike. I had the smoked "salmon", scrambled tofu & "crème fraiche" on sourdough toast which was very good quality in both taste & presentation. The portions were huge so it's really good value for money. Will definitely be going again as there's so many yummy-sounding things to try.

Have been again & it was just as good quality as before! This time I had the chickpea omlette & a very nice oat milk cappuccino: both good value for money, but my Dad's VFC burger seemed a little on the small side in comparison to mine & the giant sandwich he had last time. Nice to see they now have some desserts on the menu, although maybe a little pricy? Also a bit disappointed that they no longer do regular super bowls, only daily specials, which when I went was just a mixed salad. But again the atmosphere is lovely, the food is delicious & of course the best part is that it's fully vegan, so I'd definitely recommend.

100% vegan and 100% delicious - Edit
My lovely wife and I have visited Source a number of times in recent weeks. It's very much become our go to place if we fancy popping out for brunch or lunch. Everything is 100% vegan and 100% delicious. I'd particularly recommend the full English or the shakshuka for brunch and the double stack burger or meatball sandwich for lunch. But everything we have tried is very good.

Food was ok - Edit
I came here on the 26 Nov 2021. I had a salad that had cream cheese stuff peppers which was not filling and the cream was just too much. My friend had a Buddha bowl of beans and scrambelled tofu and chicken nuggets which was ok.

Ok ish - Edit
Food served in bowls rather than plates, music didn’t suit the environment - quieter and more peaceful would work better, too big chunks of bread

Delicious birthday lunch - Edit
We had a lovely lunch at Source for my birthday. The staff were welcoming and it was the ideal location for a birthday lunch. It is a shame you can't book but we managed to get a table quite quickly.
Read moreThe food is delicious- we had sandwiches and the skakshuka (recommended!). The smoothies are yummy and the cake for dessert is as well.
A buzzy vibe and will definitely come again!

Delighted to see it's gone vegan - Edit
We liked this place before, so it's good to see it has gone vegan and retained custom. Really friendly and well organised staff, a range of delicious food and cake. I had the VFC sandwich which was enormous (great!) followed by Biscoff and chocolate cake. Also recommend the smoothies (Pash N Shoot was refreshing).

good but expensive - Edit
Like the other reviewers, we found Source rather expensive for what we got but nevertheless enjoyed it very much. I had the imitation salmon with scrambled tofu; Christine had Shakshuka, side tomato and bean stew with scrambled tofu. Both were on toasted sourdough. The smoothies were excellent too. Good, friendly, efficient service.

Great little brunch but expensive! - Edit
Popped in for brunch. It was nice to find somewhere to eat with so much choice! We ordered the shakshuka (100% recommended, very hearty and warming) and the full English (a little scant for £12, but did appreciate the addition of vegan black pudding!) plus a couple of oat lattes. Came to just under £30 - more than I would have liked to pay for brunch to be honest but happy to support an all vegan business. The staff were lovely and attentive too.
Read morePros: Everything's vegan!, So much choice., Yummy shakshuka.
Cons: Expensive full English for the size

Sandwiches - Edit
