Decent experience - Edit
The tofu and falafel wrap was brilliant, really tasty. The sweet chilli and tahini sauce was amazing and the biscoff brownie was really good as well. The bhaji was OK. Overall it's a cute spot and it's brilliant to have so much choice but it's a little overpriced for the quality of the food, still worth giving it a go though!

Nice little cafe with loads of tasty vegan food - Edit
Quite small though, but seating outside available (it was raining when we visited but on the third walk past a couple of seats in the window were free so we thought we'd check it out).
Read moreLovely food, and a great selection of salads, tarts, pies, sausage rolls, samosas and bhajees.
Kids loved that we could get vegan milkshakes too!
Pros: Loads of selection
Cons: Quite small and obviously popular

Zappa’s - Edit
All vegan cafe on the lovely main street in beautiful Totnes. We arrived about half an hour before closing so most of the main dishes had sold out. There was a sign that mentioned vegan soft serve, alas this is not ‘Mr Whippy’ style but in tubs and they only had vanilla flavour. I also took away a slice of their banana bread for breakfast the next day. Both were just ok but I would love to go back and try the salads or lasagne next time. Paid parking nearby.

Good choice of food, lovely staff, great location - Edit
Zappa’s is a real find. A wide range of pies and tarts with wholemeal pastry, several cakes, everything we tried was excellent. They use organic ingredients too. A range of interesting and delicious salads.

Pros: Spoiled for choice with food and drink options, Lovely staff, Brilliant location

Disappointing - Edit
Were recommended this place so had high hopes.
Read moreHowever, the food was reheated in a microwave and while the bowl the tomato and olive tart was in was boiling, the tart itself was tepid.
The salad was a little sad too.
The staff were really not interested in customer service.
So disappointing I didn't take any pics...
Two stars as the chocolate milkshake was good.
Pros: The milkshake
Cons: Poor service, Reheated food left soggy and tepid

100% plant based - Edit
We had a great lunch here. The falafel salad plate has a good variety of ingredients and three great tasting, and warm, falafels. The small salad bowl was just enough for a quick lunch. The smoothies are made to order and very tasty, not weak and watered down like some places do. The carrot cake was delicious and the coffees are the best in Totnes!
Read morePros: All fresh, Sensible prices, Good range of options
Cons: Small place so limited seating when busy

Disappointing - Edit
We had high hopes for this cafe as the reviews are good. However, we left disappointed. Service with poor with just one member of staff unable to cope with serving, making drinks and preparing food. The salads didn’t taste freshly made and had far too many flavours going on. The smoothie bowl wasn’t topped with fresh banana as stated and was a bowl of defrosted smoothie. My husband had finished his lasagne by the time my daughters smoothie bowl arrived.

Great little place! - Edit
Had a delicious vegan croissant and flat white here, as well as a really tasty smoothie bowl. The cafe is cosy and centrally located, everything is vegan and the staff are lovely. It is also reasonably priced. #Veganuary

Amazing food! - Edit
This place is such a good find. We’ve been a couple of times and the food is always really good, I particularly recommend the lasagne, curry and the cakes which are the some of the best I’ve ever tried vegan or otherwise. The prices are very reasonable too. Highly recommend.

A haven - Edit
Sunday mornings can be tricky when it comes to finding establishments open, fortunately Zappa's doesn't disappoint.
Read moreLots of snacks, pastries, coffee options and some main courses.
They seem to be finding their feet currently so certain aspects of the coffee service are lacking.

The best so far in my Research - Edit
First time was enough for us to love the place. Fair prices, avocado toast prepared at the moment. The most delicious cakes no using refined sugar. At the table we have only one option to sweet the coffee and it was muscovado sugar. Attentio to detail. Real vegans.

This is my new favourite place in the town with great decor. I had a decaf oat latte with samosa; both were excellent and were served with a smile which is always a plus. They have a variety of sweet and savoury bites (all vegan), which I can't wait to try.
