Great food in a friendly cafe - Edit
We will definitely be back to this great cafe. The food is homemade and really tasty. We had onion rings, buffalo cauliflower wings with cashew cream, a perfect pie, mash, peas and gravy followed by sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie. The team are friendly and passionate about what they do. They love dogs too and provided a portion of broccoli for our vegan dog!

Delicious but a little pricey - Edit
Very tasty food and a full vegan menu. Nice vibe too. Had the burger and it was really great but it was a bit more expensive than I’d like for the portion size.

Decidedly average - Edit
My lovely wife and I had dinner here on evening recently. I have to say it was a bit underwhelming. Although 100% vegan, there wasn't much on the menu that excited me. I settled on the burger while my wife had the hot dog. Both were decidedly average. Disappointing.

Lovely bit of lunch :-) - Edit
We were in Stratford Upon Avon for my dads wedding over the weekend and nipped into the Music Cafe for a spot of lunch.
Read morePerfect post-wedding hangover cure! Food was lush and everything being vegan put me so much more at ease. The cafe itself is also just lovely to be in - loads of interesting pieces from different musicians and artists on the walls, and great background music.
We all had a lovely lunch although the tables are a little low to the ground which was a bit of a pain for our tallest friend 🙈
Pros: Entirely vegan cafe with fab food , Lovely atmosphere with great music , Very friendly staff
Cons: Tables a little low - not ideal for tall people!

Look no further!!! - Edit
Can’t say enough good things about this place, and having seen the other rave reviews it seems that is the popular opinion! I had a humble toastie, but my god was it special!!! My partner had hotdog & chips, which he loved. Then I had a peanut brownie which was EPIC, and my partner had the treacle smash which was delightful!! Great value and well worth a special trip whether you’re local or not.

Superb!! - Edit
Wow what a wonderful plant based cafe! My partner & I had a lovely late lunch in this gorgeous establishment. I had a Herby Mushroom Toastie with side salad & my partner had the Meatless Hotdog with Fries. Neither of us could resist having the “famous” brownie & ice-cream, it didn’t disappoint! The cappuccino was so nice that we both had 2 cups each (which I might add are served in the most amazing cups)

Fully plant based cafe/restaurant with live music every evening! We had a cheeseboard to start with, burgers and hot dogs for mains, and then cake and a treacle tart for desert 🤤🤤 cannot reccomend this place enough if you're in the area - it had an amazing atmosphere and the staff were all really friendly and made us feel very welcome 😊

Delicious food cooked with love in cosy atmosphere. - Edit
We ordered the creamy pasta and Italian stew. It was obviously lovingly prepared with a lot of thought put into it. Presented beautifully with generous portion and tasted amazing!
Read moreWe also had the brownie and ice cream. It was nice to find a vegan cafe and one that hasn't hiked its prices up loads even though its in an affluent area.
The owners were on site and were lovely just like the staff.
They do lobe music there but this was just a day visit. Will definitely return if I ever pass that area of the UK again.
Definitely worth a day trip out just for the cafe and the surrounding area is so pretty.
Pros: Delicious food, Atmosphere , Close to attractions

Little gem of a café - Edit
We stopped at the Music Cafe on our way from North Wales to Kent, for a late-ish lunch. I love that they were open and able to make food all hours (not set ones for lunch/dinner).
Read moreThe food was amazing - we had a very tasty toastie and a burger bursting with flavour, but I’d have happily ordered anything on the menu and reckon I would have been satisfied. The desserts were yummy too and they kindly gave us non-liquor ice cream as we both had to drive afterwards!
Would thoroughly recommend for a really tasty vegan lunch - and we’re definitely going to return when we book a weekend trip to explore Stratford-upon-Avon so we can experience the atmosphere at night.
Pros: Friendly staff, Fantastic food, Close to parking

Fantastic vegan food & live music in a unique setting! - Edit
A brand-new cafe/music venue that's just opened in Stratford upon Avon & what a glorious place it is!
Read moreMy partner & I visited in the evening when they had live music on & immediately fell in love with the relaxed setting & atmosphere- very Parisian in feel which is refreshing for the town. Amazing decor with walls full of musical memorabilia.
The menu is 100% vegan, including a selection of homemade cakes which looked beautiful. All drinks (including alcohol) were also marked as suitable for vegans, we had a session IPA and a glass of the house red which were both amazing.
I had the quiche (£8) which came with side salad & ordered a side of french fries (£3) & my partner had the meatless hotdog (£10)- both were absolutely delicious & generous portions for the reasonable price.
Highly recommend!!
Pros: 100% vegan, Live music, Affordable
Cons: N/A, N/A, N/A
