Vegan food cooked on the meat grill

I would suggest vegans avoid this place. I took my veggie partner for breakfast here for his birthday last summer and the memory still sends shivers down my spine. It's a tiny place so staff have no excuse not to greet customers on arrival. One man sat at a four person table the whole time we were there nursing one coffee and no food. We had to squash onto an inconvenient electrical cable table. After 10 minutes perusing the menu I saw a very small hidden sign saying "order at the bar." Staff should have realised we hadn't seen it and were expecting table service but no they were too busy gossiping. Service was very slow. My partner's fried eggs were burnt and overcooked. My vegan breakfast was mediocre at best. But the worst thing (which I did not realise due to where I was sitting) is that staff scraped the fat on the meat grill and cooked my vegan food on it! I didn't know this until we left as my partner saw it happen. This makes me feel so sick. They owners have no respect for vegans or for humans if the staff are so rude to customers that they ignore them. Go elsewhere in Benllech.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Cross contamination with meat, Rude staff, Over priced

Separate vegan menu

Small dog friendly cafe (5 indoor tables) with no customer toilet, although they did allow a customer to use staff WC.

I'm giving 3 stars for the fact that they do offer a separate vegan menu. We just stopped by for coffee. After seeing the cakes we decided to try a rocky road each. Unfortunately, it was the only vegan cake option available. As rocky road goes, it was fairly basic. The only things in it appeared to be biscuits with the odd marshmallows on the top.

Service was good and I would definitely call in again, maybe to try the vegan breakfast.

Slow service

Plenty of vegan options, including vegan bubble waffles. However, service was incredibly slow despite there only being 1 other family in with us (They also ordered after us but had their food before us !!) A heads up - There are also NO TOILETS! We were advised to go to the public toilets - they were locked. Wouldn't return tbh as food wasn't all that hot and service with a smile appeared a lot to ask - when i thanked them on the way out I was given a dirty look!! Quite disappointed.
