Lovely place and food - Edit
Came here for lunch. Had the burger and chips and the Buddha bowl. A spiced chai tea and a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows.
Read moreThe portion sizes are generous, I couldn’t finish the Buddha bowl which was kindly packaged for me and was eaten later.
I will definitely be back to try the specials which we didn’t see until we’d already ordered.😄
Pros: Fully vegan place , Portion sizes , Food

Disappointing but okay - Edit
From the reviews we were expecting much more. While there were no claims of things being made in-house we were disappointed at how much seemed to be standard, shop bought fare. I think they should remove the top 7 ranking from previous years as their pinned Facebook post as I don't believe this can be representative of the current quality of the food.
Read moreI wish to reiterate that the food was not "bad" just due to the existing reviews we were disappointed.

Amazing vegan food selection - Edit
A group of 7 of us with 3 vegetarians and 4 meat eaters went, and we were all blown away by the options and the food! We tried the cauliflower wings, king Kong burger, cheese burger, the quesdilla, onion rings, coleslaw and fries and none of us had any complaints :)

Only vegan place for miles - Edit
This was a cosy cafe to have a bite in.
Read moreWe had the Buddha bowl and the Titan burger. They were both okay. The burger came with lots of lovely crispy chips, though we did expect a bit more pizazz for the title and the price: £17.
We took a slice of cake with us. It was £4.95. It was nice but a bit expensive.
Pros: Friendly staff member, Cosy caff
Cons: Bit expensive for what you get

Great place, good food - Edit
We went there for early dinner and had some really delicious food. Unfortunately the dishes we wanted to try were partly out, but the alternatives were really tasty as well (went there ~40-50 minutes before they were closing). The service was very friendly. The atmosphere is very nice as well, they offer a book exchange corner, great idea.

Truly a wonderful family-run fully vegan eatery. We visited last year whilst on holiday and came again this year because we loved it so much. Since we visited the menu has been expanded and heck - it’s delicious. We took away some of their fabulous baked treats too.

Pancakes with bacon and tofu scramble were fantastic, I could have eaten a second plate. Luckily ample cakes are on offer too. I wish I was local so I could try everything on the menu!

Amazing place to visit - Edit
Finally managed to visit The Eating Gorilla after it was between owners when we were here last year. We were not disappointed. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. It's rare as a vegan to have so many wonderful options. The staff are friendly, the cafe very spacious and food arrived quickly and was amazing. It's definitely worth travelling to, especially with so few fully vegan places around. Do go and support this awesome cafe.

Hatte einen Avocado Toast mit Schokomilch, der perfekte Start in den Freitag. War mit meinen Eltern zu Besuch (beide nicht vegan und mit Vorurteilen). Diese wussten nicht, dass es vegan ist aber es war „absolut lecker“. Gerne mehr davon.

Only Cash (English bank notes) PayPal or bank transfer - Edit
You cannot pay with bank card, and they do not accept Scottish bank notes, even though Scottish bank notes are legal tender in the UK including Wales. I might expect this attitude in arts of England but was shocked to experience it in Wales! Another argument for an independent Scotland 🏴

TheEatingGorilla
Not sure how our vegan cafe has been linked to Scottish independence…
Read moreHowever please speak to us at the time so we can do something about your frustrations 🌱🦍
petrinemcshane
How do you propose to do something ? I was very open and honest with Becky (one of the owners) and told her that by refusing to accept Scottish bank notes I was being made to feel less than as not accepting Scottish money is truly the passive aggressive off hand belittling of Scotland and Scottish people, which I did not expect to happen in Wales or in a vegan cafe in Wales. I believed that fellow Celts would understand. To my ear Becky did not appear to have a Welsh accent and so maybe this explains her being so offhand & oblivious as to why this behaviour is upsetting to Scottish people. When Scottish people are made to fell less than (2nd class citizens) in other parts of the UK it is yet another argument for Scottish Independence. Hopefully you now understand the link?

Firstly petrinemcshane let's get one popular misconception corrected.
Read moreIn England and Wales, only Bank of England notes and Royal Mint coins are considered legal tender.
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/explainers/what-is-legal-tender
What you need to do is what millions of tourists do when they come to England and Wales and that it exchange their toy town Monopoly money into sterling.
For information you can do this at any bank or post office. Currently the exchange rate is 1:1 but that will certainly change if Scottish independence goes ahead.
Secondly you comment on the lady serving's accent is grossly racist. There are many Welsh people in Carmarthenshire who have very English sounding accents. Also I am not aware of any legal definition as to what is a Welsh person.
I am not connected to the business but a frequently in there and see how welcoming and friendly the owners are even to grumpy miserable gits. I couldn't do their job. They are hard working and are very well thought of in the local community. I doubt you can say the same.

Perfect! - Edit
Amazing, amazing, amazing!! We are pretty well traveled vegans and have eaten at some of the very popular vegan restaurants around the country and this has to be up there as a must visit. We both had a delicious burger and our friend had pancakes, everything was perfect and the fresh cakes on the counter are delicious. We loved it so much we are planning to return in June 💕

Delicious Vegan Food - Edit
Beautiful vegan restaurant run by a lovely couple Becky and Barry!
Read moreAs 3 vegans and 2 vegetarians we were able to order whatever we wanted and know it was peaceful and soooo tasty!
Loaded bagels and home cooked lasagne, chips and homemade coleslaw, tea cake and chocolate vanilla cake, lattes and soft drinks!
We didn’t even take photos of our food because we were too excited to eat. We came from a walk on Black Rock Sands and it took 10 minutes to drive. So it’s in a great location!
Free local car park just off the high street.
Thanks Becky & Barry
