Sugar and Spice

So excited to find a vege/vegan cafe in Beverley. This place is a great find with a varied menu. We had the sweet potato soup and 1/2 a panini which is a great deal at £4.50. There were 6 cakes to chose from and 4 were vegan. I had the lemon and my husband had the coffee which were both delicious.

Cakes and Beverley Buns are good. Some savoury dishes are offered and I had a panini which was OK. When we visited in October the café was quite cold and we noticed the regulars kept their coats on. We sat near a radiator but soon discovered it wasn't turned on! The toilet is an outhouse and you have to go out the front of the café and round the back to reach it; it is of course unheated.

Discovered to my surprise and delight that there was a veggie café in Beverley, so obviously I had to try it on my next visit there! It is on the quieter stretch of Lairgate so less obvious if you didn't know it existed. The décor is bright, light and airy, with lovely stars hanging across the window. It was very clean and staff were helpful. The sandwiches are incredibly cheap for Beverley. They are not the best I've had, but nice enough for the price (£2.25!!!) There are several vegan options, such as hummus and carrot and salad or guacamole and the coffee and cake after were fab! They had many vegan cakes, and two gluten free! I had the spiced pear cake- it was delicious! However, it would be even better if they served cream or ice cream with the cakes as personally I find cake dry on its own. However, I will definitely be returning.

A simple but tasty menu with a fabulous vegan cake which my daughter really enjoyed. Coffee was good and had soya options.

Really great selection of cakes, coffees and other drinks, and sandwiches, with some hot food (had a really yummy soup when I went). Highly recommended for veggies and non veggies alike!

The standard menu needs a few more dishes to choose from. I had garlic mushrooms on toast (toast didn't appear home made)and 'side salad' which was a few leaves (no tomatos, cucumber etc). These were average but enjoyable. My husband had a cheese and apple panini with the same few leaves. Cakes are £2.50-£3 per slice. We had a brownie each and we had to fight over who got the tiny one. Need to be more competitive to survive, there are lots of cafes in Beverley. Some are better and cheaper.

Have had lunch here twice now with my husband and daughter. The paninis are tasty, the house salad is delicious, the garlicky mushrooms on toast very more-ish and the cakes are amazing! The coffee's very good too! It's a very friendly cafe and there's a box of toys for little ones to play with. Will definitely be going there when we can.
