Pros: Great flavor , Good portion

Cons: Not many vegan options , Juices aren’t made fresh , Have to pay as soon as you order, don’t take cash

Lovely place for breakfast

This place seems to be quite popular with locals and I managed to get in just before there was a queue outside! The staff who greeted me were lovely and happy to serve me.

I had the vegan breakfast (tofu, veggie patty, potatoes, mushrooms, slow roasted tomatoes, kale, toast) and an oat chai latte.

I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the tomatoes were as I'm not usually a massive fan of tomatoes on their own. They were seasoned very well with a hint of chilli.

Pros: Tasty food , Friendly staff

Good vegan options but better for vegetarians

Great food but much better for vegetarians than vegans

Not good.

Ordered a Vegan breakfast and it came with pork, which was something of a surprise. That was around a year ago and since then I've realised that all the hype and PR around this city of being a vegan haven is really just advertising and empty promises. As a friends put it, 'typically scammy'. Very sad.

It's alright

Food is okay but it's always really busy so I can find it a bit overwhelming

Yuck

Went early when all the staff seemed to be suffering ordered veggie and received bacon on plate was nearly sick.
Complaint laughed off.

Pros: Convenient , Trendy, Many dishes

Cons: No care taken, Meat served despite ordering vegetarian , Staff rude

Great vegan breakfast

Popular Bristol cafe, really busy and great vegan breakfast option. Really good coffee with oat milk an option (30p surcharge) and the mango juice was excellent. The breakfast had no meat substitutes which actually was refreshing for a change. There are really great vegan options in Bristol and despite the fact The crafty Egg is not vegan they did an excellent job for breakfast. Staff were excellent, really friendly and attentive.

Nice cafe with some vegan options

As the name suggests this place specialises in egg dishes, but does have some vegan options and most things are customizable. I had the avocado on toast without feta, and added sauteed potatoes. Jazzed up a bit with lime and dukkah. Very good coffee - the oat milk latte was delicious.

Pros: Friendly staff, Reasonably priced

Cons: Very busy at weekends - be prepared to queue

As the name implies, there's a lot of eggs

They have OK vegan options like avocado Toast but as this places main focus is eggs cooked in a variety of ways it's more geared towards that. You can still find something good anyway!

Delicious!

They made me the best vegan brunch. Happy to swap bits and pieces around due to an allergy. All vegan. So tasty. And they made the best berry smoothie I’d ever tasted! Didn’t wait long for the food. The staff were awesome. Very helpful. Highly recommended!

Pros: Tasty vegan options, Really good smoothie , Very affordable

Cons: Could do with slightly more vegan choice, Comfier chairs

Nice brunch, good atmosphere

Mostly vegetarian, with vegan options. Like the vegan Cafe Vino across the road, be prepared to wait perhaps 45minutes for food at busy times (I had a 40 minute wait Sunday brunch time), but the atmosphere is relaxed and I was pre-warned when I ordered.

The smoothie seemed watered down, wish I'd asked about that...maybe I was wrong.

Pros: Great brunch menu, Nice relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Expect to wait for food at busy times, would have liked a healthier bread
