Amazing vegan brunch!

Came here on a friend's recommendation. Had to wait outside for maybe 10 min before being seated. This place offers a terrific vegan full English breakfast. Great for groups of mixed vegans and non-veg!

Stunning brunch

I think you can see from the pictures just how amazing this breakfast was, I was in awe and still am😮‍💨
We both got the vegan breakfast and when it came we were speechless. A huge plate filled with some much goodness. The veggie sausages were the classic old school veggie sausage which was such a nice change to have, the mushrooms were in a really rich and flavoursome sauce, the scrambled tofu had so much flavour and the aubergine fries omg. Never had anything like the aubergine fries, they were so crispy but soft in the middle.

Pros: Huge portions, Delicious food , Aubergine fries

Cosy feel, decent food

I went for the soup of the day, and had a choice of two (both were vegan). I loved that they asked the lady next to us what milk she wanted with her tea, when she replied "normal", they asked if she meant cows milk 😊

I had a coconut milk hot chocolate that was really nice. The menu doesn't clearly label everything that's vegan but the staff were very knowledgeable. The vegan breakfast looked awesome plus they had some really decent looking vegan cakes.

Pros: Lots of vegan milk options, Decent portion sizes, Good vegan cake choice

Cons: Menu could be labelled clearer , Can get busy and you can't book

All day vegan breakfast

Great for brunch and quite massive portion sizes. This is a good place to take non vegans as there is a wide array of vegan veggie and omni options

Best vegan brunch in Bristol

The brunch isn’t just great, but it’s not the generic stuff you’d expect. It’s aubergine chips and a genuinely great vegan sausage.

The Best Vegan Full English!

I was so surprised but how amazing this vegan English breakfast was! It came with toast, beans, fried potatoes and delicious fried courgette, scrambled tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes and a delicious vegan sausage! The whole breakfast was 10/10; it was huge and everything was so fresh and tasty! It’s the biggest breakfast I have ever had and was definitely worth the money. They had other vegan options such as a vegan sausage ciabatta roll and lunch options. I would like to see a vegan sweet breakfast option such as pancakes, waffles or porridge. However, what they do have is amazing. Also, they had a range of homemade vegan cakes on offer. I also had a gingerbread oat milk latte which was nice too. The vibes of this cafe are so cute and the staff were really friendly. I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return soon!

Pros: Vegan breakfast, Vegan cakes selection, Big portions and worth the money

Cons: No vegan sweet breakfast option

I got the vegan breakfast and it is well worth the money. At around £11 you can’t fall off. Huge portions of good quality food.

Pros: Portion size - great! 🐷, Quirky cafe, Lovely friendly service

Huge vegan breakfasts

Come here with an empty belly and the patience to queue to get a table! The breakfasts are massive and come packed with untraditional bits like aubergine fritters, nutmeg spinach and roast potatoes. I was a bit too hungover to manage the massive portions but everything was delicious although I found the aubergine fritters to be a tad greasy and the spinach a bit gritty. Lovely staff and atmosphere, can’t wait to come back and try and finish a meal here!

Bad Value, Full of Oil

Vegan breakfast was just full of oil. I don’t like beans so didn’t want them, and can’t have sesame infused spinach as I have an allergy. But no swaps or subs meant I was paying full price for not a full breakfast.
The plates come completely full, but full of all the cheap stuff like potatoes and mushrooms. Tofu was a tiny amount, and very bland. Everything was swimming in oil. I barely struggle to finish food but I felt my insides going slippery with all the oil so had to stop.
Very expensive for unsatisfying and cheaply made food.
I hate leaving bad reviews, as people need to make a living, but I feel the other reviews on here do not represent the experience we had.
Also, my coffee went cold after 2 sips (I make coffees at work all the time, it’s not hard to heat the mug up first!)

Cons: Expensive, Bland, Really oily

Not bad but not worth the long wait

Nice enough place and decent food but loses a star for taking 40 minutes from ordering and another in my opinion for a number of items are overpriced, £3 for a tiny glass of orange juice full of ice and breakfast was £11 which was over priced too

Pros: Decent breakfast option

Cons: Expensive, Slow to get food

Good brekky

Enjoyed a decent breakfast here, luckily managed to get a table - this place gets crazy busy!!
Great vegan options.
I had a sausage panini and my partner had a full breakfast.
The fried courgette fries were an odd addition but sooo tasty!

Lovely breakfast

Not completely vegan or veggitarian but plenty of options, love coming here for a breakfast on a weekend to get me ready for a shopping trip or help me recover from the night before. It is also dog friendly that gains points in my book

Pros: Plenty of options, Friendly staff

Cons: Very small

Filling yummy breakfast

Filling breakfast that had clearly been thought through unlike some vegan breakfasts I’ve had! I don’t usually like aubergine either but it was crispy fried and lovely 🤤

Cons: Quite pricey compared with other similar places

Very tasty vegan English breakfast

Very good English breakfast in vegan version. Many options of plant milk. My non vegan boyfriend ordered Benedict eggs and there were runny as they should 😊😊. Perfect place for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores. Nice music with reggae vibes.

Pros: Perfect size and taste, Oat milk for coffee

Cons: Breaded aubergine fried too deeply
