Super chill vibes! The staff were lovely and the food was absolutely incredible. Gorgeous coffee with a not too sweet housemade hazelnut syrup. Absolutely recommend the seitan kebab - might just be the best vegan food I've had in Plymouth!

This was hands down the best food I’ve had in England so far. Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared – each component had its own distinct flavor, and they all came together perfectly. I was especially thrilled to get such a great variety of vegetables, prepared in so many different and creative ways. What I loved most: these aren’t regular dishes awkwardly turned vegan – they’re dishes that just are vegan, naturally and effortlessly. No substitutes, no overthinking – just really well-crafted, honest food that happens to be plant-based. The staff were super friendly, and the place has such a cozy and welcoming vibe. Highly recommended!

This Café feels like a hidden gem - it’s beautifully located above the shop on the ground floor. It’s an open kitchen, everything (?)is vegan, a lot is locally sourced and you can get a lot of different vegetables if you mix and match. If you’ re looking for a nice atmospheric place, a lot of veggies and greens for lunch or breakfast, you’re definitely at the right spot here.

Absolutely lovely food and staff. The Bakewell tart was the best any of us had ever eaten. Need to go back and try the vegan whippy ice cream. I had Chef's plate and everything was fresh and delicious. We also had the big breakfast and the kebab which also all went down well. But they excel on the cabinet of cakes; so much choice! It is situated above a zero waste shop, so you can pick up vegan sweets and other necessities whilst there.

Lovely staff and even better food!!! All vegan and healthy. I adored the seitan kebab and the praline almond ice cream :) It’s in a lovely area of the city and it’s a must try for vegans and non vegans :)

A gorgeous vegan spot that’s reasonably priced. A lovely spacious and bright space perfect if you need a quick bite to eat or fancy brunch / lunch with friends. PLUS the absolute best cakes around! Here I had the red velvet cake and an iced latte which were both delicious
