Delicious cakes and a great vibe! - Edit
The venue was cool and quirky, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and I loved the ethos of the place. We had the salted caramel cheesecake, red velvet cake, an iced matcha latte and an iced turmeric latte and they were delicious. This was our first time in Cambridge but we’ll definitely pay another visit in the future. Highly recommend.

Quirky and friendly space - Edit
The staff really go out of their way to be helpful and have a chat. The breakfast was nice, and they have lots of appealing options for cakes and mains. Note that the breakfast menu is served until noon, after which then the day menu is offered

Great lunch pitstop - Edit
Fabulous range of lunch options from toasties to burritos. We had the humus and a toastie. Fab fresh ingredients, chai latte top notch, and gorgeous upstairs space. We also loved the bookshop and art exhibit 🙂

THE vegan cafe in Cambridge - Edit
This is my favourite cafe in Cambridge (and I’ve been to 20 )…
Read moreIt’s adorable; decorated with plants, and the staff are so friendly and vibrant – always complimenting me!
Vegan croissants, cakes, gf options, breakfast/ brunch, lunch; so many drink options
I especially love the fries with garlic mayo, matcha iced lattes (they offer almond, coconut, oat and soya milk) and the muffins
The vibe is relaxed; there’s art for sale on the walls from independent artists, a sustainable refill shop and plug sockets, sofas and outside seating for when it’s sunny!
Pros: Fully Vegan cakes, coffee and meals , Very comfortable, great place to work, Very social and friendly
Cons: Only the distance from the town centre!

Good drinks but could be hotter - Edit
Both the matcha and the hot chocolate we had were tasty, but they could have been warmer. Also, a little bit steep.

Must go in Cambridge - Edit
What a lovely place!! It is a must visit in Cambridge. Nice, fab and friendly service. Great foods and drink!! I had weekly special and one burger on the next day, they were both very delicious!! Very satisfying with good portion! Amazing cakes btw!! I like the vibe a lot and they are more than a place to chill and eat! I would highly recommend this place for trying plant based foods and nice coffee! on the 1st floor they have really good view of the road - super relaxing!

Lovely atmosphere - Edit
The service was good and food delivery time prompt even when it was reasonably busy on a Saturday afternoon.
Read moreWe had the burger and chips with added extra bacon which was very tasty it was tempeh ‘bacon’ and the burger was moving mountains. Chips were skin on fries.
We also had milkshakes, lotus biscoff and a Oreo one both were served with cream on top and were delicious.
There’s quite a lot of searing inside plus some outdoor seating. There’s also various board games available to play. Books being sold and next door but linked is a zero waste refill shop.
Pros: Nice atmosphere , Food delivery time was good
Cons: Menu could be clearer

Lovely breakfast but cold first thing! - Edit
We visited for breakfast and ordered a big breakfast and BLT, along with coffee.
Read moreCoffee here is lovely.
The breakfasts were nice but the cafe itself was cold and the food was served on cold plates. I completely understand that it may take a while to warm the building up but the plates really need to be warmed. The big breakfast was luke warm and the BLT had no heat in the tempeh at all.
The food was nice and we'd go back, but maybe for lunch next time!

Cold average Brunch. Good coffee and service - Edit
I really want to love this place as the coffee, ambience, and service are quite good.
Read moreBut the food ….. I’ve been there for Brunch twice and both times the food came late and arrived cold, and it wasn’t very busy. They were very quick to fix it by microwaving it, although I would’ve appreciated a freshly toasted bread.
My partner had the Big Breakfast, it was Very Disappointing, the one sausage was very overcooked and dry, both hash browns were undercooked, the bread slice was barely toasted and had large chunks of butter on top (more butter than bread lol), you can’t go wrong with baked beans, and the tofu was dead cold too.
The Willo’s potatoes were quite tasty after heated up.
I would probably go back for the pastries and coffee, but probably not for other kind of food.
Pros: Ambience, Coffee, Pastries
Cons: Main menu

Nice cakes & coffee - Edit
Their coffee and cakes are great (lemon poppy seed muffin is delicious and I really like their chai latte - they also offer a great selection of plant m*lks), but lunch menu is a bit disappointing- it doesn't offer many fresh, seasonal or veg-oriented options 😔, I had their toastie before which was just okay. I will be back for their cakes, but for lunch options I think I will look elsewhere.
