Very basic

This is a new one for me, a veggie cafe in a jewellers!

Basic cafe serving drinks, cakes, and soup and sandwiches. I had a coffee, it wasn’t the best. I didn’t see any food on the menu that struck me enough to order. Plenty of vegan cakes.

Very fair to middling in general.

Well worth our support

Located where the peddlers vegetarian cafe used to be a perfect cafe to avoid omnivorous cafes with vegan options. Spotlessly clean and bright environment and nice background music.

Pros: Lots of vegan cake options , Pleasant helpful staff , Interesting Jewellery connection

Decent vegan cake and coffee

Nice little cafe, a few vegan cake options and dairy free milk options for coffees. Menu was limited however if you fancy a savoury option.

Average food, let down by staff

Ordered the bagel which came deconstructed which i kind of liked. Felt like I got more for my money to have it this way instead of premade. I had the avocado, tomato and hummus toasted bagel which came with salad and crisps. I also got a fruit smoothie which was nice. They had a selection of vegan cakes including carrot cake which was really tasty! However the waitress taking the order was a bit rude which was the only negative thing I have to say.

Pros: Vegan cakes, Located in a jewellery shop which was unique, Nice seating area

Cons: Waitress was rude (maybe she was having a bad day)
