Great menu - for adults and kids!

We don't live locally and popped by for breakfast as it was the only veg place around - it was amazing! Not only did it have an inventive menu - with things like chickpea omelette as well as standard vegan breakfasts etc - it also had an equally inventive kids' menu. What was most amazing though was that it included options for baby led weaning - which I don't think I've seen anywhere, let alone in an all vegan place. It made my weekend!All of the staff and the owner seemed lovely too. Well worth making the effort to go to if you can! I only wish I'd bought some of their own vegan cheese or pickles to take home!!

Pros: Baby-led weaning options, Inventive menu, Beautiful space

Cons: That we don't live nearer

Such a great vibe

We found this place on here and drove nearly an hour on a whim for lunch on a day off from work. We were not disappointed!

Gorgeous inside but even more gorgeous outside 😍

Sat in the sun in the lovely gardens. Food & drink was fantastic, lots of lovely choices.

Cute little gift/plant shop too we got some very reasonably priced pots and a new plant 🪴

Pros: Food selection, Vibe, Staff

Cons: Pretty much all the desserts/cakes had nuts in

Fresh home cooked food

We found this cafe to be popular and busy, but their staff were still super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We had a TLT and supercool avocado toast. We added some basil oil to the toast and it was delicious. Great portion size and reasonably priced. The grounds are lovely and they appear to be adding extra facilities. Would definitely go back.

Pros: Good quality, tasty food, Completely vegan, Dog friendly

Beautiful Deli Salads

I had a mixed deli salad and it was beautiful, so many different fresh ingredients and it was a huge portion for £8

It was lovely and cool inside on a boiling day


The only reason I didn’t give it a full 5 stars was because I didn’t find the staff very friendly or attentive - Maybe it was because it was toward the end of the day.

I will go again when I’m in the area though even if it’s just to take away.

Amazing vegan food

We visited last Saturday. Food was lovely and we got cakes to take home. Friendly staff, can order at the counter or online. Extras you buy there as well cheese etc. Building yoga studio outside as well. Looking forward to the Liverpool one opening, as visited on our way back home.

Changed my mind….

I hate to make reviews like this but I’ve been coming here for years and it’s unfortunately taken a tumble since the refurbishment. My latte was rancid as it was burnt (£5.50 as well!) and the portion sizes were very small (they used to be a lot bigger!)

The food is good, but it’s nothing extra ordinary.

Really disappointed… something needs to change!
You can see my differences in my photos from 3 years ago and today😒

Lovely vegan cafe

Nice place, lots of vegan food and cakes. #Veganuary
Update January 2025
Still my favourite place, we had a breakfast of banana bread with yoghurt, berries, crushed pistachios and edible flower. Hubby had TLT which was avocado, tempeh, tomato, lettuce and mayo. Plus two oat cappuccinos. So good I forgot to take a photo 😁 You can now book a table which I would advise as does get busy and not a big place.

Amazing brunch!

I absolutely loved the orange hot chocolate and the scrambled tofu with hollandaise sauce here! Will defo be going back 😁
Went back and got the omelette which was lovely.
However I did try their cheese and I wasn't very impressed by the texture.

Wild Root

Fantastic cafe serving fresh, nutritious and delicious WFPB food. The deli counter offers ready made sandwiches, bagels, salads and the chiller has a range of fermented food and drinks on offer, as well as a range of cashew cheese to takeaway. There is also a cook to order menu and I opted for the full cooked breakfast from this, although there were lots of choices I’d have loved to try too. Food was delicious, the chai latte was good too. The cafe itself has a lovely cosy vibe and is dog friendly. There is a ramp outside for access, and once inside the cafe is all on one level. Car park right in front of the building and this is free to use.

Cute vegan cafe

Been meaning to visit for a while and finally the opportunity presented itself! We arrived around 1pm and it was pretty empty - I was disappointed as I’d much prefer fully vegan places to be busy - but within a few mins of sitting down, the place packed out! I had a vegan lox cream cheese bagel - when it arrived I thought it looked a bit old, but it tasted fab. It had a dill cream cheese with the lox, as well as picked onions & capers for some tang. Partner had the TLT sourdough sandwich; it had a generous portion of well seasoned Smokey tempeh. We’ll definitely return as the salads in the cooler looked amazing!

Stunning and healthy

Love this place! It has really cosy vibes inside, and a beautiful setting outside. I've only been twice (so far) and had the full breakfast both times, it's gorgeous and just the right amount of food, left feeling satisfied but not too stuffed. The hot drinks are lovely (although a little on the small side for me) and their cakes are stunning, between the 3 of us we had 3 different flavours and every one of them was gorgeous!

They are only a 10 minute drive from Ainsdale beach which is a huge and beautiful beach, both times we have done breakfast and then a few hours walking ok the beach, a perfect morning :)

Pros: Healthy menu, Cakes, Cosy

Cons: Small drinks

My favourite vegan cafe

I have been going to Wild Root since they opened in 2021. The food is consistently delicious. They recently had a re-vamp and we visited today for the first time since they re-opened. We were not disappointed. The cafe is so warm and welcoming and the staff lovely and friendly as always. We had the sweet potato and harissa soup which was gorgeous. I had a potato and greek pasta salad on the side. The potato salad had a lovely zingy vinaigrette dressing which complimented the soup. The greek pasta salad was fresh and vibrant. My husband had the hummus and vegetable sourdough roll which he enjoyed immensely. He said the freshness and texture of the vegetables worked well with the creamy hummus. He normally hates aubergine but I think he may now be a convert!

Pros: Fresh and delicious food , Wholesome ingredients , Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Cons: I wish I lived closer!

Not sure why this gets 5* reviews

Maybe coz it’s the only all vegan menu anywhere around? Been here on numerous occasions. Staff generally not bothered. Tables are never bussed. Pretentious hipster vibe. It always take forever to get food. And the portions are tiny and I got no problem paying the money when it’s worth it but non of the stuff is something anyone I know would actually buy let alone pay an extortionate price for.

Cons: Vibe, Not friendly, Unbelievably slow service

Insanely good 👍

We made a specific stop here on the way to Formby Beach - we wanted to pack ourselves up with food for the day. We ate in for breakfast and also took away "sausage" rolls, salad, pasta etc for the trip. It was so difficult to choose one thing. All food tasted fresh and nutritious. There were all types of goodies to try and they also had little shelves of items to buy from local sellers, such as toys, crystals and such like. The server was so friendly and helpful, too. We wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Pros: Fresh produce that tasted wonderful! , Wide variety of food and drinks to eat in or away, Lovely staff

Breakfast

We were originally going to another eatery. However, it was closed. So we came across this eatery. Absolutely lovely. We had the full wild breakfast. It was lovely. We bought cake and other goodies to take home.

Pros: Location , Food , Service
