Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I was driving through the area and wanted to grab some breakfast. I was very impressed to see The Vegan Breakfast on the menu and was excited to try it out. I thought that it was lovely! The food was all well cooked and was much better than I would have accepted given the circumstances. The interior of the cafe was nice and clean, and the service was very friendly. Overall I was very impressed and will definitely come back to have this again if I am in the area"
"Pleasing atmosphere and great layout, doesn't feel like a supermarket cafe. Food and coffee also far better than expected, staff always friendly and helpful. Easy effective ordering system. Reasonable lighting for reading and laptop. Mostly kept clean. Relaxing spot."
"Great value breakfast well cooked. No queue, tables kept clean. Only thing is staff need to ask or put sugars and sauce portions and condiments on tray with drinks or you have to go back to counter all the time."
"The all day breakfast is perfectly cooked. Having read other reviews saying the food was cold, it is not the food that is cold it is the plate. Please start serving hot food on hot/warm plates. It is a VERY basic mistake, which is easily rectified. I will come back and edit my review and give you five stars if/when you change the plate temperature. Please do not quote health and safety as an excuse, I do not expect the plate to be firey hot just hot enough to keep the food warm and not burn the fingers of the waitress."
"For a superstore cafe, this one has nice decor and sofas in the 'lounge' area. Food and drinks are ordered at the counter then both are bought to the table. However, cutlery, sauces and napkins are self-service. My order was taken efficiently, with a smile, and the coffee served within minutes. The breakfast was served in just a little longer than it took to cook. All of the staff were pleasant and seen to be busy cleaning when not serving customers. The only fault was the floor needed sweeping to remove the discarded receipts and the like which were seen but ignored."
"Ordered 2 vegan breakfasts and 2 vegan mochas, it cost £17 for all of it. Got served at our table, the mochas were huge and the breakfast was a good size. Sausages were excellent. It was peaceful and welcoming. A nice incognito vegan breakfast that you can eat without the standard vegan conversation you get in 100% plant based places. It was nice to be normal for a change."
"Stopped off for a quick bite before visiting in hospital. Food was great."
"A good clean place to visit. A wide selection of food including veggie selection at reasonable prices. Service is good food is served promptly and well presented. finally a good drinks menu including various teas and decaf coffee"
