Fresh and light - Edit
We visited Stamford for the day, and since there's no vegan restaurants, this was the second best, we were not disappointed. The food was gorgeous and the place was so cute and picturesque. Would definitely recommend it!

Very nice - Edit
Fantastic, completely vegan food. Wonderful tasting main of leek and mushroom ragu on herby polenta. The soup starter was amazing and the homemade focaccia was crispy and salty on the top. Dog friendly. Small and upstairs so not accessible to all, the outside seating was not suitable the day we went as was extremely heavy rain. But otherwise if a wheelchair could fit through the alleyway, you could sit outside. Toilet not wheelchair friendly
Read morePros: Amazing food!, Loads of choice, Ethical and sustainable ethos
Cons: Not disabled friendly due to the ancient building

Fully Vegetarian/Vegan - Edit
Super cosy and unexpected plant based spot - after a week of staying nearby and struggling for vegan options, this was a joy! Quite pricey is my only criticism...cakes were delish though and a cool old medieval interior, nice selection of cookbooks to flick through. The only thing they serve that isn't vegan here is cows milk but you have to ask for it so feels very much like a fully vegan joint.

Lovely breakfast and lunch - Edit
Came here whilst on a day out. Called in for coffee and had the croissant filled with rarebit, spinach and mushrooms. Delicious.
Read moreCame back later for lunch and had the cornbread with roasted squash my partner had Rosemary potatoes and hummus with bread.
Sampled the cakes went for chai tea bread and my partner had a chocolate chip cookie and a flapjack all delicious.
Portions were not huge and a little pricey but worth it.
They said the only thing not vegan was the milk. But they gave oat milk as the default milk. We booked and good job as it was very busy.
Pros: Food, Service, 99% plant based vegan
Cons: A little pricey , Smaller portions

Interesting and healthy food - Edit
This cafe changes its menu monthly which means the food always feels healthy and seasonal. I also like the fact it opens on Friday evenings for a different atmosphere, but it still does the same menu which is a bit of a shame - a totally different set menu for the evening would be nice
Read morePros: Monthly menu changes, Healthy food, Friday night opening
Cons: Choices a little limited

Sadly disappointing - Edit
I hate writing negative reviews but our visit to The Blonde Beet was disappointing at best. The spot itself is lovely, with a cute courtyard where dogs are welcome. The staff is nice and friendly, though quite obviously not very experienced (that’s okay, not a big problem at all). The big problem was the food, because it was just NOT good. It is the kind of food that gives vegan food a bad rep - bland, strangely put together, difficult to eat. If we weren’t vegan/animal lovers and had come here to try vegan food we would have probably run away thinking “we just can’t be vegan”. The coffee was also horrendous, some of the worst we’ve ever had and we’ve had coffee all over the world. The price was excessive given the quality of what we had. I will still give three stars to the cafe because of the location and the friendliness of the staff, plus of course the willingness to have a plant-based menu (the only place in Stamford, I believe), but improvement is absolutely needed in order to help, rather than hinder, the vegan cause.

Third time lucky! - Edit
First two times the Blonde Beet was full, so this time, third time was the charm. Amazing food. I had a Summer ratatouille. Amazing. The bed of white bean and cashew purée was such a wonderful addition. The polenta chips were so tasty. The service was friendly and fast, which was essential because I was so hungry, and I left feeling so much better. I’ll make sure I try every time I visit Stamford. I just wish I’d tried the cheesecake too.

Delicious, creative and comforting - Edit
The best meal I've ever had! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lovely and staff were wonderful. I've been a few times and will most definitely be going back. On this occasion I had the risotto and cheesecake which were amazing. I can't recommend Blonde Beet enough.

Love this place! - Edit
I have been enjoying going to the Blonde Beet cafe for several years now and it's a real jewel and unique community space that we are so fortunate to have in Stamford.
Read moreThe menu is always varied with exciting plant based options which change frequently, are really delicious, fairly priced and have sustainable roots - win, win!
The cakes are really hard to resist too.
The location is great, tucked off down a little alley at the end of the high street, with seating outside amongst plants in a little courtyard and the majority of indoor seating upstairs in a beautiful old-beamed room, often with local artists work on the walls.
The Friday Bistro nights are always special, with the atmosphere always welcoming, friendly and comfortable. I always find the Blonde Beet somewhere I'm happy to go on my own, as the staff never fail to welcome me with a smile or have a quick chat.
There are generally a range of interesting events, courses or groups happening each month too, often along the lines of cookery, art, crafts or sustainability.
Pros: Excellent food, Always friendly staff, Great vibe
