Heerlijke vega salade, aardige bediening

Leuke kaart, veel vega keuzes (ook vegan) waarvan alles vers is bereid. De salade vond ik een aanrader!

A hidden surprise

We can across this little cafe through this app. You’d never find it otherwise as it’s not in a restaurant or cafe area. Food amazing - one of the tastiest soups ever

Pros: The food , The staff, Dogs welcomed

Cons: Cold when people come or go, due to door

Vegan cream tea!

After searching for a vegan cream tea we happened to stumble across the honey pot without seeing the menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see vegan cream tea as a standard option! The scones were lovely, really impressed. Thank you!

A bit expensive but fresh and tasty

We went there twice during our Bank Holiday weekend in Penzance. Pleased to see so many options for vegans like me. My Vietnamese noodle salad was OK, but I quickly realised they had forgotten the tofu (which would have made it very expensive!!) They promptly brought a bowl of cold, diced tofu (and did the same for the nearby table - maybe the person in the kitchen hadn't been told about all the ingredients?) Anyway it was a bit bland but filling. My ginger smoothie was too strong for me, I had to add water to it! My partner enjoyed his halloumi sandwich.
We decided to come back 2 days later to try other items on the menu - this time I absolutely LOVED my vegan sandwich! It had vegan feta instead of halloumi, and the chili jam was incredible. We also found the soup of the day (dahl) really yummy. We ended up staying for 2 hours as it was so rainy outside. We had incredible desserts, both vegan: banana bread with chocolate spread, and lemon, mint and elderflower cake. We also had herbal tea. All in all it is a cosy place, although it is a victim of its success: very busy, which meant that we had to wait quite a long time for service. You also have to walk through the kitchen to go to a small toilet. Not ideal, but I can see that they are planning to update this!
It is a bit on the pricey side, but worth it if you're looking for fresh veggie/vegan options.

Pros: Several vegan options , Cute decorations, Delicious desserts

Cons: Small toilet through kitchen, Busy so service can be slow, Expensive

Nice coffee and decent cakes

The staff are very friendly, but you have to sit down and order from the table, even if you only want coffee and a cake, which seems a little pointless.

Cakes were nice and the coffee was good. Pleasant cafe in the heat of Penzance.

Pros: Nice vegan cakes, Friendly staff, Good coffee

Cons: Could be more choices, Table service only

Chocolate Cake 😍

We stopped in for lunch and cake, I think they're doing all veg for Veganuary and there was lots of choice on the menu. Burrito came with really tasty salads, beet hummus was great, chocolate beetroot cake was out of this world!

Pros: Lots of options, Really tasty salads and hummus, Incredible cake!

Amazing vegan cream tea

This place was recommended to me as it serves a vegan cream tea (jam and scones), and wow it did not disappoint. I really want to know how they make their version of vegan clotted cream because it's amazing! I've also had breakfast here, and had the sausage sandwich with onion jam and vegan cheddar, which was fab. I haven't had lunch here but there is a menu with clearly labelled vegan options, and also details of how everything in the cafe is as eco-friendly as possible, which is lovely!

Lovely little place

I've gone here a few times now. They are really lovely and are able to make hot drinks with alternative milk. They normally have at least 2 vegan cake/sweet options. I've not yet had a meal there however the options are always clearly labelled and sound delicious. I would like to go again soon and try they're vegan scone with jam and vegan cream!

Pros: good vegan choice, lovely people and place, dog friendly

Nice vegan options

A busy place , we struggled to get in at lunch time but eventually got a table. Service was very very slow (20 mins to order) and probably contributed to the delay!

Pros: A couple of vegan options , Nice decor, Dog Friendly

Cons: A little expensive , Poor service

Vegan tea

We took some vegan tea away, the scones and cream were delicious! Also they have many vegan options in variety of cakes. Took the poppyseed cake, I wish we ordered two instead of one! We went on Saturday afternoon, it was very busy. But the atmosphere was very nice inside! Highly recommended

So flavoursome

Vegan roast today was amazing, chestnut and puy lentil spelt pie, red onion and thyme gravy, served with rosemary and garlic toast potatoes, glazed roots, braised winter greens and red cabbage and vegan cauliflower cheese and dark chocolate vegan mouse with caramelised orange - never had a roast so tasty - highly recommend these special sundays - next i e is Easter Sunday I think. Great place, good vibe. They always have great vegan options.
