Decent experience

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!

Pros: Lots of choice, Nice setting

Cons: A bit overpriced

Nice little cafe with loads of tasty vegan food

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).

Lovely 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

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

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.
Smoothies are wonderful, we tried the spinach, the blackcurrant. Good choice of teas.

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

Disappointing

Were recommended this place so had high hopes.

However, 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

A bit dissapointing

Excited to find vegan place here but sadly despite things looking good initially, service was quite poor and the food not great. Milkshake was good...

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Service , Food reheated and luke warm

100% plant based

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!

Pros: All fresh, Sensible prices, Good range of options

Cons: Small place so limited seating when busy

Disappointing

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.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Limited seating , Inaccessible toilet, Poor service and quality food

Great little place!

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!

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.

Pros: Delicious food, Good prices, Very nice setting

A haven

Sunday mornings can be tricky when it comes to finding establishments open, fortunately Zappa's doesn't disappoint.

Lots 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.

Pros: fully vegan, open on Sundays

Cons: Coffee not up to standard

Amazing

This cafe is a real gem easily accessible on the high street of Totnes. The food is of excellent quality with a variety of options including croissants for breakfast! The staff are very warm, friendly and welcoming. There is also outside seating just in front of the church. An amazing atmosphere with superb, reasonably priced high quality food. What more could you want. Highly recommend it so please visit to enjoy the experience.

The best so far in my Research

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.

Pros: Cakes prepared without using refined sugar, High quality ingredients, Super attention

Cons: No toilet

Great coffee with lovely smile!

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.

Pros: Excellent coffee, Friendly staff, Nice decor
