Reasonable charity cafe with vegan options

Had the vegan breakfast, they were able to do gf bread and checked it was vegan. The beans were a very small portion and the sausage was the "skin on" type. Falafel were an interesting touch!
Filter coffee at £2 is a bargain.
There seems to be a vegan cake every day.
Great space, dog friendly, child friendly. Can be a bit noisy as a result :)

Pros: Vegan breakfast, Filter coffee, Outdoor space

Cons: Small portion

Charity cafe

Café set in Calderstones park. It’s a reading charity so your purchase goes to a good cause. It was popular with families when we visited. There was quite a few vegan options for breakfast and lunch, as well as cakes (3 vegan ones) & vegan milks. Vegan options were well labelled. We got a vegan breakfast & pancakes. Portions were small (why half a mushroom?) but they were good. The vegan breakfast accidentally came with non vegan butter (in a packet) which they replaced once pointed out #Veganuary

So warm and welcoming

I only popped in for a coffee but it was a lovely atmosphere with great staff. Next time I’ll be trying some of the vegan food!
