No nonsense vegan cafe

The Wallflower is small and unpretentious. The owners and staff are really friendly and the 100% vegan menu has meals to please all tastes. Our Buddha Bowl meal was delicious, full of goodness and generous.

Pros: A good range of options, Everything home made, Conviction vegans serving kindness on a plate

My local

So happy to have this little gem as my local cafe. Good menu choice of savoury meals plus cakes. For me also a great choice of GF options. Always happy to introduce my non vegan friends to the cafe. It is tucked away so misses out on passing trade

Pros: Dog friendly

Nice find

We came here for lunch after seeing the information on Happycow. It’s a relatively small cafe with about five tables but luckily there was one empty. There are plenty of choices and we had a hard time deciding. We ended up ordering the bubble & squeak and The Wallflower Rarebit, which came with some chips and salad garnish. We ordered a couple milkshakes too - I ended up with a smoothie which was probably better nutrition wise. Anyways, we would come here again if we had more time - the cakes looked good too. It’s handy to have the car park right next to it - but beware, Google maps will try to take you around to the high street where you might miss it as there’s an antique shop and beautician on the high street while the café is tucked at the back through a little alleyway.

Fantastic!

The Wallflower Cafe is Herne Bay’s little secret. You probably wouldn’t stumble across it because it’s tucked away, but if you are visiting the town then you should seek it out. They have a great variety of vegan dishes, so many it’s hard to chose what to have. Lin and I both choose the homemade burger and chips. Chunky chips with their skin on and a burger with flavours of onion bhajis - what could be better?

It’s very popular and has limited seating so you may have to wait to get a table, but I guarantee that the wait will be worth it. We visited several years ago before they became fully vegan, but now it’s going to be a regular stop because there’s a lot of dishes on the menu to get through.

The service was friendly and faultless and all the hot food is cooked from scratch , no zapping in a microwave.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly atmosphere, 100% vegan

Cons: Limited seating, It’s almost too hard to choose what to have, Not easy to stumble upon

A hidden gem!

I ate here today (11 September 2021). I had trouble finding it but it was well worth the effort. There was a great choice of vegan meals, smoothies and cakes and the staff and atmosphere were lovely.

Pros: Lots of choice, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, Takeaway items are available in recyclable/, compostable packaging.

Cons: The only con would be that the cafe is small , (although that could be a pro too ...) and so if , you want to eat in there may be no tables free

Hippy Heaven

Lovely, quaint cafe tucked away on the High Street (back enterance through the Herne Bay Leisure Centre car park).
Prices are good as portion sizes are filling and everything is made fresh. Menu available for takeaway in sturdy biodegradable packaging.
Staff are lovely and friendly. Fresh cakes are posted on their Facebook page.

I've eaten here with my boyfriend numerous times even if just for a smoothie and cake but the mushroom and hoisin wrap is my favourite or the pancakes with mixed berries.
There's a cute collared dove nesting outside above the security light too. 😊

Pros: Portion sizes , Disabled access, Lovely staff and atmosphere

Cons: Limited space, Need another cafe in another town

Lovely staff lovely food

Love this place! Been wanting to visit for ages and finally did today for my husband’s birthday. The food was amazing!! We had sausage burgers and chips (it was burger night). Takeaway only due to lockdown restrictions but still so worth a visit. Staff are lovely and so helpful. Friday eves is tofish and chips and Saturday is curry night so we’ll be trying those out too!

Deserves its reputation

All the food looked amazing but as we had already eaten lunch we settled for cappuccino and cake (chocolate brownie, and carrot and sultana). The cakes were the lightest and best tasting vegan cakes we have ever experienced. We will definitely try to go for lunch another time.

Pros: Amazing looking food, Friendly and helpful

Cons: Easily missed if you don’t know it’s there

Friendliest first experience

Busy even in January but filled with smiles. The smoothies are so yummy and filling. Food is honest, clean, tasty, picture perfect... With a mediterranean spice rack inspiration but a cute and quirky brittish look. Well done ladies!

Pros: 100% vegan, you don't miss a thing if you are not!

Cons: Erm... None?

Your "go to" vegan cafe!

This is simply a must visit! Never had a bad meal here. The blueberry muffins are a special favourite of mine, as is the banana peanut milkshake (nice and creamy and thick) and the sweet potato cashew pesto wrap 🤤🤤🤤 honestly this place is heaven for your taste buds.. you’d be silly to miss it! The Friday night monthly specials are a real treat too 🥰

Pros: There’s too many to list... just go!!

Cons: Absolutely none!

Very nice and chilled atmosphere! I loved the decor! My husband had the falafel Buddha box and I had the sweet potato one to takeaway, we both enjoyed them very much, they were very filling and full of nutritious goodness😄I also had a peanut butter smoothie that almost sent me into a happy coma.😉

Pros: Completely vegan, Yummy smoothies and vegan shakes, Super cool hippy vibes

Cons: Hard to find if you didn't know it was in arcade, The shakes are addictive

A vegan cafe in Herne Bay...amazing!!

Wow, who'd have thought you'd find a vegan cafe in Herne Bay?!

This place is great - the cafe is decorated lovely and has lots of sunshine streaming in.

Good food - you can choose between being healthy or eating junk food...but even the burgers are on lovely brown bread.

Lots of smoothies, shakes, cakes, salads,
and the day we were there they sold mushroom & chestnut soup, stew, etc.

They have a decent breakfast menu too, and I saw a sign for Sunday roasts :)

A great place!

Pros: Good food, Nice decor/lots of light, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Delicious!!

I have eaten here a few times now and it never fails! There is a good choice of vegan options, the menu is mainly veggie/vegan and there is even a choice of vegan cake which is also gluten free. My fave is the falafel burger, staff are friendly and knowledgable, give this place a go!!

Little gem in the garden of England

Absolutely brilliant find since there’s not many eateries offering 100% vegan menus in my region. Really enjoyed the food,great homemade falafels and hummus but above all was my buddua salad bowl full of fresh leaves, crunchy veg, chick peas, seeds and grains. Really enjoyed the texture and flavors. Both my husband and I were sufficiently satisfied and nourished but couldn’t resist a little sweet treat of apricot and ginger cake which again was lovely. This was our first time exploring Herne Bay the wallflower will be definitely be a reason to return

Pros: 100% vegan menu , Nice staff,service , Reasonably priced

Cons: None, None, None
