Amazing!!!!! - Edit
I come here regularly and am never disappointed! The food is amazing and freshly cooked, the homemade cakes are unbelievable and everything is so reasonably priced! The drinks are so good, the iced matcha latte with flavoured syrups are the best! You always get a lovely warm welcome from the owners and they’re always ready to help and offer advice!

The Eating Gorilla - Edit
We travel 2.5 to 3 hours to get to The Eating Gorilla and it is absolutely worthwhile. The breakfasts and the lunches are tremendous. The staff are friendly and engaging. We always have our dogs with us who are made to feel welcome. The desserts are fantastic. This restaurant is a beacon in the Vegan food community

Fantastic find - Edit
I visited The Eating Gorilla because it was the only vegan place for miles. We were taken by surprise by how lovely it was. It seemed very out of place in a tiny, quaint village when I'd expect to see it in the likes of Edinburgh. The food was delicious and the servings were huge! We left with a takeaway lunch to feed ourselves in a vegan barren area the next day. Cake and chocolate bars, we were sorted. Highly recommend a visit.

Excellent vegan cafe - Edit
Stopped in for a late breakfast on route to our next camping stop, hubby had the avocado, rocket, tomatoes with chilli flakes, and lime on toast.
Read moreI had feta mushrooms on toast (without rocket, don't like the stuff)
Both were extremely tasty and freshly prepared, with an excellent combination of flavours.
I also had a slice of cheesecake (raspberry and gin, gluten-free) absolutely delicious 😋 hubby had a matcha, blueberry and white chocolate gorilla ball which he thoroughly enjoyed.
We took away 2 cornish pasties to have later, and of course I had to have another piece of cake! The carrot and pistachio tray bake was lush, moist, and full of flavour.
I also bought some solid shampoo bars and handmade soap.
Please go if you're ever in the area, it's well worth a visit! 🌱☕️🍰😋❤️

Fabulous Vegan Food! - Edit
We live over 70 miles away but travelled today to enjoy the lovely menu here! The food sizes are huge so do ensure you are hungry when you go! All the food was great including the cakes & the coffee/chai latte too! Can’t wait to go back again soon!

Vegan heaven - Edit
What a wonderful vegan eatery, There's a great range of dishes to choose from. The food is really tasty, beautifully presented and the portions are very generous. We took a new vegan there and they were really impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the Eating gorilla team are top notch cooks and bakers. They do meals, baked goods, cakes and desserts to take away. The cornish pasty tasted spot on - and that's coming from a couple from Devon who consider themselves pasty connoisseurs😄We also tried various desserts and cakes including baklava, raspberry and gin cheesecake, carrot cake and cherry bakewell tart. All delicious. We're really looking forward to visiting again.

Love this place. Not just fully vegan menu but also embrace the ethos with leaflets and information on animal rights. The food is generously sized and very tasty. This visit I had a hotpot. Rich Soya mince and lentil with roast potato top and very cheesy. Came with loads of veg. Shout out for the scones as well.

I have been here a few times and never been disappointed. The portion sizes are big, food is super tasty and prices fair. What is not to love about this place. They even have a good selection of cakes.
Read moreThere's plenty of seating upstairs & down, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend The Eating Gorilla.
We would have loved to have eaten a slice of cake but our stomachs were full, so bought some chocolate cake to take home. It was delicious 😋

Great value, delicious healthy food - Edit
The staff were lovely and there's a great selection of tasty and healthy foods. The juice of the day was good and the cauliflower wings some of the best I've had. Portions are large so I struggled to eat all my Mac n cheese but it was so good. Just finished off our takeaway cakes which were also delicious. Cafe itself is really pleasant and had a nice feeling. We were glad to know it was cash only before we went too. Highly recommend!

We are very happy to have found this all vegan place during our holidays. We have had a very tasty breakfast: avo toast, sweet waffle as well as savoury waffles. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere nice. I do highly recommend this place.

What a place. So so friendly, they accommodated all of us and our pups. The food and drink was lush and it was generally an all round awesome visit. The menu has a wide range of items and every single thing we had was not just delicious, it was above par. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

Simply delicious - Edit
On our last day of the holiday, my partner and I decided to go out for our last vegan breakfast. The choice was very simple, the eating gorilla had outstanding reviews, and it was close to our location.
Read moreI have to admit that we hit the bull's eye.
For breakfast, we ordered breakfast sausage roll, BLT roll, and sweet and savoury waffles. We shared everything. The food was very good but we agreed that the BLT roll was our favourite. Both Zen coffee and Macha latte were delicious.
We also ordered cheesecake, dirty cow cake, and two patties to go. Everything was delicious, especially the patties and the cheesecake.
The place is a bit outdated, but this didn't bothered us much. The service was good.
There is only a cash payment, but don't discourage yourself by that as they give you a PayPal transfer as an option. Also the atm machine is within short distance from the place.

We found the Eating Gorilla on Happy Cow. Popped in after a trip to Bedgelert. We weren’t hungry but my husband ordered the soup and flatbread (which we shared) a cheese cake and cherry Bakewell tart. It was all delicious. We will be back over our two week stay here to try out the menu

Unreal level of amazing! - Edit
I genuinely can’t recommend this place enough. Do not go to this area without a visit! Even if you can only fit in some cauliflower wings and some corn wings, they will be the best you’ve ever had. The kebab was divine too and we’ve been eagerly counting the days until we can go back for dinner!! Going on Friday and Saturday this week haha! The people are also so lovely.

Great place! - Edit
I visited twice in April when staying nearby. The staff were lovely & there was a good choice & I had two tasty meals. The main meal portions are big! There are lovely cakes too.
Read moreI was able to take away a few items too, such as a delicious cheesecake, a vegan pancake mix, vegan chocolate and a small bottle of Dirty Cow, which was great.
I'm happy to eat "fake meat" but for those who aren't they may find their choice a bit more limited.
Pros: Lovely venue, Friendly staff, Tasty food

Apprehensive.... - Edit
We were a little apprehensive about this one. It looked too good to be true from the reviews and the menu didn't particularly catch our eyes at first glance.
Read moreWe walked in and were greeted with a smile. Our food and drinks came quickly and were delicious. I even managed to get an ice cold, alcohol free IPA which was a godsend on this 28c day.
The cafe was bustling and we enjoyed looking at the up to date vegan cook books. Kudos for two gender neutral toilets too.
We had alcohol free IPA, iced hot chocolate and cream, fish finger tacos, naanwhich and corn ribs. I loved the tikka spiced chicken and the ribs were the best I've ever had. (Well done on getting flavour to stick to those bad boys.)
Took away a carrot cake and a bannoffe tart type thing and ate them on the road. (Sorry no pictures.) Just mouthwateringly moreish.
Excellent little lunch spot with attentive staff and well deserving of a five star review.
We'll be back!
Pros: Gender neutral toilets , Good variety on the menu, Flavour packed dishes
Cons: Too much raw red onion in the salad, Taco needed a spicy sauce dressing , I didn't have room for pudding 😂
