Cool vibe, great food

Read about this place on Happy Cow, so thought we'd give it a try - so glad we did. Really laid back, quirky place, reminded us of some Australian cafés we have visited in the past. The vegan breakfast was really good - generous portions, good value for money. Would definitely visit again when in the area.

Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Good value for money

Quirky little cafe

Lovely staff and a quirky little cafe selling both food and vintage second hand things. Plants too! Was a delicious breakfast and coffee, definitely worth a visit if passing by.

Pros: The food was delicious, Staff are friendly and cater well to dietary needs

Cons: A little small for seating, but still cozy!

Nice lunch in a fun and funky garden

Tasty vegetarian and vegan meals, all reasonably priced in a unique setting of a nursery and a thrift shop. We sat outside because it was a nice sunny day but they have added tables in the thrift shop; not sure I would like to eat with shoppers but probably would be fine.

Pros: Tasty food , Affordable prices , Great service

Lovely quirky friendly cafe!

Had been meaning to try this lovely quirky cafe for a while…damp and cold day but what a lovely warm welcome from the team…sat inside as chilly but delicious hot lentil and rosemary soup did the trick and I had the ‘ tuna mayo’ sandwich which felt very wholesome…will definitely return as want to try other dishes :)!

Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Very warm welcome from staff, Quirkiness

Really nice quirky place

Stopped here for lunch to avoid the bank holiday crowds in town. Nice menu with lots of choice and natural ingredients. Kids kept busy with table football. Food was really tasty with good size portions and friendly service. Would def recommend this place

Great little cafe inside/outside garden centre

Positioned outside a quirky garden centre, this vegetarian cafe has lots of great vegan options. Really recommend the Pack Horse Breakfast (without egg is vegan).

Pros: Quirky fun setting, Delicious food

Cons: Would be nice if it was pure vegan :)
