Wonderful find in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett - Edit
Adorable and welcoming vegan café with amazing and innovative food! We had savoury scones with delicious red pesto and cashew butter, homemade sweetcorn chowder with sourdough bread, and a cheeze toastie for our fussy 5yo. For dessert we had delicious coffee and walnut loaf topped with coffee buttercream and walnuts (so rare to find this veganised!) and chocolate caramel shortbread. They do delicious loose-leaf teas, coffees, matcha/beetroot/chai lattes, and have at least a dozen gins!! Lots of gluten-free options too. They had a list of fun events like menopause cafés, neurodiverse meet-ups, murder mystery nights etc! And a pile of kids’ toys to keep children entertained. A real little gem indeed! PS The staff are so friendly, they even shared their chowder recipe with us because my husband loved it so much! PPS No pics of the food because it didn’t last 5 minutes!!

Amazing - Edit
Gorgeous cafe with friendly staff and lovely food and drinks. We had mushroom soup of the day and tofu scramble served with sour dough toast which were both very tasty. The coffee was great, the service was excellent and the prices were good value. Disappointed we didn't make it back at the end of our day to try their curry for dinner.

Just as it says on the tin "THE LITTLE GEM" - Edit
I really loved this place, the hot food was really well prepared and is without doubt 5star quality! On a dark damp afternoon I had the days special which was a creamy thai cashew & veg curry - very talented chef(s)! So tasty. Good for brunch, lunch & dinner.
Read moreRoyal Wooton Bassett is very lucky to have this 100% vegan cafe restaurant that serves wine too
I will definitely be back as this lovely town is just off the M4 & and is obviously a much healthier choice than motorway services stations !
Pros: Currently open until 5 most days, Helpfull staff, Easy to park

Beautiful - Edit
A beautiful little cafe with gorgeous food and cakes, made in house. I have been many times since opening and always have a lovely time.
Read moreGemma offers many community/themed nights, like candle making, microgreens and board games which make it great for meeting new people and learning new skills (all vegan events of course!).
They’ve since changed their menu - we really enjoyed the chilli but wished it came with rice, and I loved the savoury bagel. The cakes are as good as ever!
I loved the quiz night - we came so close to winning 🏆

Best cafe in Bassett - Edit
I lOVE the little gem. Whenever I’m back in Bassett I always come here regularly. They have a wide variety of food and they always have specials which change weekly to keep it exciting. The cakes are amazing and they always have a large selection (the cinnamon buns are amazing). Have tried most things on their menu and would recommend everything. Healthy home cooked food with decent prices and nice interior. The best part are the staff - they’re always welcoming and kind. Perfect cafe - nothing to complain about
Read morePros: AMAZING staff / customer service, Affordable/ fairly priced , Large menu with specials that change

We were passing near Swindon and saw that this was only a few miles detour. The cafe was lovely and the food was delicious. They serve fantastic coffee.
Read moreI'm fairly certain it was a family-run business and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Definitely worth making this a stop if you're passing.

Gorgeous little place - Edit
My partner and I took a detour on our travels to visit this cafe and we are so glad that we did. I had the quiche and a millionaires shortbread and they were both delicious. The cafe is super cute inside and the staff were so lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Adorable and tasty! - Edit
I was really enamored of this place; it’s tiny but thoughtfully designed, with lots of flowers and pink! Fortunately, I enjoyed the food as much as the decor! The tofu scramble was one of the best I’ve tried. Ever. We also ordered the bageltastic bagel and the special of the day: tartiflette. They were rapidly devoured. I appreciated the creative way they were presented, too. If you don’t like pink, this might be over the top for you, but rest assured the taste is great! The chef came out to check that we were enjoying our food. I suspect she may have been the owner because she was much more invested in our satisfaction than an employee would normally be. There were also delicious looking cakes and coffees on offer but we didn’t partake of those. The plates were relatively small, but so was the price tag! This really is a gem of a place!

Lovely staff, menu was small but the two dishes I tried were both delicious (my 3 y/o wanted the quiche, but naturally changed her mind and pinched half my bagel!). Beautifully decorated inside.
