What people are saying
“A lovely vegetarian cafe down a little back street, serving up generous portions of imaginative food. Plates of lemon and goat’s cheese ravioli, squash and coconut curry, lemon and almond cake are all served up in this relaxed setting, which has exhibitions for visitors to peruse while they walk their lunch off, or browse magazines or use the wi-fi.”
“The food is honest and simple and you’ll always leave satisfied.”

“Those passionate about legumes, healthy eating and into vegan and gluten-free food look no further… We tried the sweet potato coconut soup with (home made) bread, a potato and pepper stew and a brownie. Yes that is quite a lot for lunch but we couldn’t help ourselves as the food is delectably good.”
