Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food is good, although slightly plain and perhaps lacking seasoning and some originality."
  • "The menu changes daily and always includes at least three delicious salads that combine lots of flavours and textures so that they burst with flavour."

  • "The food was amazing and so was the staff, very friendly people."

Cons:

  • "The waffle had too much peanut butter for my taste."
  • "Unfortunately was very disappointed with the food... was all overcooked and dry."
  • "I was a bit disappointed with my açaí bowl because it had more granola than the smoothie/toppings itself."
  • "The pancakes were tough and barely had any syrup on them, and the carrot cake was dry."
  • "Food was not prepared with any love (overcooked…)."
  • "Avocados weren’t ripe, sauce was offensively peppery, and broccolini hadn’t been properly trimmed. Tofu very dry."
  • "Unfortunately this was one of the driest croissants I ever had...I doubt it was fresh :("

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "Nice ambiance and the music is cool too from Jazz soothing music, to Italian and later on throwback 80s!"

  • "The space and music were comfy."
  • "We appreciated the variety of flavours of the dishes, they were so interesting and 'unconventional'."
  • "Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff."
  • "This place has a beautiful vibe, and super clean toilets."
  • "An atmosphere that was incredibly welcoming."

Cons:

  • "Because of the size of the place it became invariably noisy, and found it hard to be heard."
  • "Really good food but the ambiance isn’t great (lots of tables squished in a small space)."
  • "They try to fit you in like sardines and two normal plates don’t even fit on one table!"
  • "The place had such a chaotic ambience."
  • "It was an interesting experience dining outdoors in wobbly chairs and tables."
  • "The store is slightly small and cramped."
  • "Really cute little cafe, a little cramped at our table by the door."

Value

Pros:

  • "£16 for the best vegan breakfast with juice is not a bad deal."
  • "The price is absolutely justified and given the portion size and freshness of ingredients, a great value for money."
  • "Great food, fantastic customer service and fair prices."
  • "The portions are quite generous too."
  • "Portions and flavor are great! Highly recommend."
  • "Beautiful food, good value for money."
  • "The prizes are very reasonable and beyond all question satisfied given the high quality of food."

Cons:

  • "You also pay £0.50 extra if you pay via QR code, which is very odd."
  • "It’s such a shame that this place is not 100% vegan but only vegetarian."
  • "£29 for a ladle of watery lentil soup, coffee and a vegan avocado on toast. Actually outraged."
  • "EDIT; prices have sky rocketed and the portions plummeted!"
  • "They charge you extra for plant-based milk which is unusual for a veg restaurant."
  • "Also it was quite unusual that their payment system automatically accounts for a normal service charge of 12.5%, but then asks for a tip on top of that."
  • "I was also surprised to be charged 50p for soya milk in coffee - wouldn't expect to be rinsed like that in a vegetarian café, of all places."
