We visited early on a Saturday morning, so the atmosphere was, understandably, a little flat. However, the vegan full English breakfast was gorgeous! It even came with vegan black pudding, which was a 1st for us. Strangely, the toast came way before the meal and was cold, but that was it for any negatives. The space is set out with more formal eating tables but around the edges are sofas for more relaxed just drinks areas. To find the entrance is a little challenging as it is hidden from the main street. You also need to climb some stairs to get to it. But it is very much worth it.

It's a very serene place and the garden area is dog friendly so if you are a pet owner you can visit this cafe with your pet. The food is really good and served warm. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. They also help with any allergies, just let the staff know.

Visited with my mum and brother who are both vegetarian, very impressed with the range of veggie and vegan food on the menu. Staff are friendly and efficient, not overbearing. Our lunch was delicious and the coffees superb. Very popular little restaurant.

Very nice place. We wanted a fry up breakfast after a wedding the night before.. Stumbled across this without knowing it was a vegetarian cafe. We ordered 2 of the full breakfasts (still slightly unsure if it was meat-free... nothing indicated it on the menus but we put 2+2 together). Breakfasts were served hot and tasty with very good coffee to pair. The sausages were especially great. Service was good, friendly staff and nice music. All in all, 5* - will be back next time we're in Lancaster.
