Fantastic find.

Was in Saltburn and struggling to find something to eat then found The Wren. Very friendly team works there and the cafe is light, airy and we got chatting to a couple of other customers who dog had one eye on our food.
We had the bagels which were awesome, not the fluffy processed supermarket ones. Oh and they do great cake. If you’re in the area I really recommend The Wren.

Nice Vegan Cafe

I had the deli bagel which was good and the marshmallow cookie which was great (especially warmed up when we got home!). My partner had the avo toast which she enjoyed.

Would’ve liked to see a few more options on the menu but nice to see a fully vegan cafe in Saltburn!

The Beacon of The Wren Cafe & Bakehouse

What are the secret yearnings of a couple of dedicated, long-serving vegans? Do we wake up in the night, screaming for bacon butties, fish and chips etc.?

The answer is actually ‘no! What we do, in fact, crave is occasionally having the healthy, nutritious, plant-bases food we’re looking for served up as something hot and tasty.

Historically, the choice has been between self-catering at home or yet another of the bland cold collations routinely offered in eateries to the vegan minority.

Thank you, therefore, the visionary Wren Bakehouse, for the breakthrough you have made in the shape of your Tofu Scramble Bagel, which is both heart-warmingly hot and soul-warmingly scrumptious!

It’s good to know that its creators combine culinary expertise with insight and empathy.

The Wren Bakehouse doesn’t just cater for us – it cares for us! Our thanks and admiration go to these beacons of talent, dedication and excellence in contradistinction to the fifty shades of gruesome that have traditionally been the vegan’s lot!

Pros: Everything is delicious, freshly prepared, healthy, Very pleasant environment & warm welcome, Very reasonably priced for quality food.

Cons: None

Gorgeous!

An absolutely thriving cafe 15 minutes walk from the gorgeous beach at Saltburn-by-the-sea. Fully accessible, dog friendly and free parking outside.

We had the tofu scramble, hummus bowl, cheese & seed scone, marshmallow stuffed cookie and a slice of raspberry and orange cake. Everything was lovely but the hummus in particular was spectacular, as was the scone (served with vegan butter). The cookie was the best cookie I've ever eaten, no joke, so chewy and fresh. I've eaten a lot of cookies from a lot of good places so I know my cookies!!! 😂

Great to see a vegan place doing so well!

Open 10-4

Made it here today. Open to 4pm rather than 330 as listed. Lovely menu, lovely food. Excellent coffee and yes lovely staff friendly and smiley.
We had cake, cheez bagel and tofu bagel.

Great atmosphere , simple healthy menu and ethical choices evident
They have theme evenings too as we left the Battered Vegan was setting up.
So now I have a great reason to visit Saltburn-By-The-Sea as much as I can.
I might have to move!

Absolutely gorgeous food

Made a dash to Saltburn after a walk up the coast to catch this place open, well worth the effort. The Nourish Bowl was absolutely sublime, perfect blend of textures and flavours, the latte just as top-tier. All vegans owe it to the movement to swing by here if they can. Lovely staff and a nice clientele too.

The Wren

The Wren Café is inside the Earthbeat Centre, a welcoming community hub for arts and local activities. The space itself has a calm, relaxed vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating available.

Though the menu is on the smaller side, it offers some well-prepared options. I tried the Nourish Bowl and a matcha latte to eat in, and really enjoyed both. On my way out, I picked up an almond croissant for breakfast the next day and a rose donut—both absolutely delicious!

Friendly and welcoming staff.

Free parking available in the rear and side car parks, use the entrance on Church View.

Great little cafe

Stopped off for breakfast on a busy Saturday morning. Nice vibe and nice food. Definitely recommend the cream cheez/pesto bagel. All cakes look amazing however I can only vouch for the Victoria sponge which was perfect, the same goes for the cheese scones.
In terms of value for money, if you’re going for the avocado toast I would recommend going for the bagel instead. For a 50p (if memory serves!) price difference you definitely get more bang for your buck as crisps and full side salad are included with bagel as opposed to just once slice of sourdough toast with salad leaves on top

Pros: Sanctuary coffee, Atmosphere
