Delightful range of food

Delicious range of good vegan food, lovely location, and friendly staff! Will definitely be going here again.

Edit: Came here again with some non-vegan family and they all enjoyed it

Always lovely

Every time I’ve visited I’ve had a friendly welcome, great service and great food. I do feel it’s a little on the pricey side for the size of the portions but it’s worth it because the flavours are amazing. Always recommending it!

Tasty small plates

Nice restaurant with cute outdoor seating round the back and friendly staff. Choice of small plates to share or big plates. The whipped feta was amazing! Nduja arancini balls also very tasty, mac and cheese was good but not the most 'cheesy'. Didn't have room for dessert but they looked really good! Decent prices for small plates, big plates a bit pricey but seems standard for Cambridge.

Amazing and unique

Absolutely love the idea of small plates as it gives an opportunity to try many dishes and those we ordered were all delicious (probably my fav one was celeriac shawarma 🤤). They also have great cocktails and nice selection of spirits. We will be definitely going back and highly recommend it.

Edit [August 2023] - we ordered a take away from Tipsy Vegan. Their mac'n'cheese and arancini were amazing also their puddings!

Decent food in a lovely setting

Probably my fault that I ordered a few things I wasn’t particularly keen on, but nonetheless I wasn’t too impressed. I had the sharing board for two which was hit and miss (the pea pesto was delicious) plus the chorizo mac and cheese. Reasonably priced!

We love this place

Menu isn’t always as good as it could be, as in a little bit more selection would be awesome but otherwise me the wife (and the kids when we treat them) really enjoy coming!

Lost count on how many times we’ve been!

An easy local fave, it’s been a perfect spot for surprising our non-vegan friends how tasty it can be many times! Great for lunch or an evening out with cocktails.

Good food, could do with more flavour

Came to Cambridge to try this place. The dishes are quite small and pricey and I found I was disappointed with some of the flavours. The flavours of majority of the sharing dishes were quite subtle and sometimes almost bland.

If it was cheaper then it would be fine, but as it was on the pricier side, I think I hoped for more.

The bao bun was great though and recommend if you get chance. Arancini balls were also one of the better flavoured dishes, but you do only get 2.

However, the cocktail was nice and it is a lovely location near the river and staff are super friendly.

Creative and delicious

Stopped by on our whirlwind visit to Cambridge and only wish we had time to go back! Nice spacious place with a friendly pub feel. Super friendly staff. We picked the most distinctive looking things on the menu, and all were excellent. Standouts were the reuben bao with house "salt beef" (a bit of that old school seitan tooth squeak but absolutely delicious), the Argentinian filet with somewhat mind-bending juicy marbles steak, and the butterscotch cheesecake. Our favourite meal in the UK so far.

Highly recommend!

We had a great meal outside in the sunshine. The food was good, as were the drinks. Our favourites were the arancini and butterscotch cheesecake! Next time I will skip the bread and antipasti sharing board as the olives weren’t very flavourful and it was mostly oil and balsamic vinegar, and not much whipped feta or pesto.
Great spot and good service!

Pros: Arancini, Lentil pancake, Tostadas

Cons: Sharing board

Don't recommend

The menu looks really exciting, but even the simple vegan staples were bad. It cost £70 for a meal and drinks for two and we didn't finish any of the food because it was all undercooked or tasted bad. The staff were lovely and the drinks were fine, but I'd suggest going somewhere else if you're looking for good vegan food.

Pros: Cheap special cocktails

Cons: Expensive, Tastes bad, Undercooked

Sensational

Wow!!!!!
Absolutely love this place! We had 4 small plates for 2 of us and they were amazing and just the right amount of food. By installing the Bryks app we got 10% off and a free dessert! The dessert we paid for was a butterscotch cheese cake and it’s probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!

Pros: All vegan , Friendly staff, Delicious food

Dinner for Couple

Food is delicious, friendly staff. I do recommend sharing plates. Quite pricey but definitively worth to visit. We went last December and place was empty at the beginning filling up slowly. I believe being first in, was a reason to get us table next to window in cold area which make us to finish dinner much quicker. Overall we planning to come back and try Sunday roast.

Excellent food and great service

I came here for a later lunch and although it was busy, they had a table for me. The person apologise for taking a long time to get to my table, but I didn’t think they took too long at all. I ordered the pineapple sour (non alcoholic) drink and a couple of small plates. I had the shroom pancakes and the coconut crusted tofu. Both were delicious but I loved the tofu the most. Highly recommend I also had a butterscotch cheesecake with cream and hazelnut mocha latte. These were both really nice. I liked the vibe of the place, service was great and the mocktail was excellent.

Need to install an app for the student discount

Great food and a varied menu. They forgot half our order, but quickly brought it when reminded. Need to use the Bryk(?) app if you want the student discount.

Decent

I liked this spot, the service was very friendly. I wasn’t impressed by the burger, and found the sharing platter mostly consisted of olives, lettuce and onions. However, the choice is good here and they have a variety of drinks too.

Pros: Choice, Friendly

Cons: Average food

Pricey but amazing place for dinner

We had so much fun trying all these different dishes! Some were good, some were great and we especially loved the Arancini! Those were insanely delicious! Portions are small, so make sure to order a good amount of dishes. We shared 4 and some bread with olives on top and that was fine for two people who weren't too hungry.

Amazing restaurant that never disappoints

We had the Christmas menu (3rd consecutive year) and was as good as ever. I had the mushroom Wellington which was divine with an amazing selection of perfectly cooked vegetables, stuffing and gravy. For dessert had the sticky toffee which was perfectly moist and the perfect sweetness! Just wish they did the Christmas menu all year round! J
