Green community hub

Not many labelled vegan options on the menu but it says can veganise a lot of items. Nearly all baked goods were labelled vegan. We got special of the week soup with sourdough bread. The soup was thick, tasty and filling. Mocha was also good. LGBT friendly space with a nice community feel

2024 update: tried some main dishes. They were pretty good but felt a bit thrown together, didn’t much like the side salad or the vegan cheese in both dishes (they were too cheesy, so probably good for those who want something similar to dairy cheese)

extremelly tasty! kind staff

I came here by recomendations of locals. When they brought me the menu i didnt want to look at it and i said, what do you have vegan? and they told me they can veganize nearly any dish of the menu. (not bad!) When i added my yeast allergy to it, they recommended me the burrito. Im not a fan of burritos but this thing was absolutelly delicious. I loved every bite of it

Pros: tasty tasty tasty, very clean ingredients, kind and friendly atmosphere

Cons: also serves milk products and eggs

Sweet place

It was full on a Friday noon.
Lots of information on cycling, environment, communities on the walls.

We went for a scone with the soup of the day as well as a blueberry pancake that looked amazing and tasted good.

I'd come here again if looking for a good breakfast.

Delicious and hearty

My vegan family visited for lunch on a trip to Inverness. There were lots of ‘already vegan’ options with most others able to be made vegan, according to the menu. We had the Patatas Bravas with vegan haggis., which was hearty and tasty. The Huevos Rancheros (with scrambled tofu) was also a winner. My gluten free daughter enjoyed a satay salad. Coffee was good although my daughters were a bit underwhelmed with the size and creaminess of the chai. Not particularly cheap but about standard, and the place was busy and buzzing. We’d come again.

Great cafe

We came here for lunch. We sat down at a shared table as it was busy. The menu noted what could be made vegan. I had the vegan breakfast as I’d wanted to try vegan black pudding and vegan haggis. The whole breakfast was nice. I liked the scrambled tofu and thought it was well spiced. I liked the toast and that it had a vegan butter replacement on it, it was a good sized serve too. My partner had the French toast which could be veganised and enjoyed it. It was topped with berries. I tried it too and enjoyed it. To take away I got a white chocolate and raspberry scroll which was nice.

Heerlijk knusse plek voor lunch

Zoals op veel plekken in Schotland werd ook onze golden retriever in alle vriendelijkheid ontvangen. We hadden een overheerlijke beetroot salad en geweldige pancakes met perzik, framboos, braam, granaatappel en nog meer. Zeker een plek om terug te komen.

Pros: Eten, Locatie en plezierig personeel, Hond vriendelijk.

Tasty sweets!

We were bummed to miss lunch service by 15 minutes but made up for it with a cornucopia of baked goods — almost all vegan, mostly tree nut free. Caramel cookie bar was a highlight, but savory scone, brownie, & raspberry bun were also delicious!

Tasty and cute

Delicious vegan selections. I loved the vegan black pudding so much and we tried some tasty sandwiches and the breakfast platter and a couple of the bowls. We enjoyed it so much we ate lunch there two days in a row.
