    Came here for lunch with my mum and was extremely impressed . Lovely fresh wholesome food , bursting with flavour. The staff were extremely accommodating and happy to help . Coffee was lovely too . Only suggestion I would make is there isn’t an option for takeaway coffee which is something I would take full advantage of . Overall lovely experience and would recommend!

    EXCELLENT affordable coffee, friendly service. Tastefully minimalist décor with acceptable lighting, no thanks to the tired filament light bulb aesthetic now prevalent in every new hipster-attracting establishment. If anyone from the café reads this: please clean your tables between customers!

    Such a great gem with amazing food and the nicest staff! Loved to stop for lunch here today and enjoying food and having great conversations. Only shame is I don't live close enough to come here more often. Keep up the good work and see you soon, Stef

    Absolute hidden gem, get there early if you want a table. Great staff happy to tell you the ethos of the business. Food is incredible.

    Such a unique cafe experience. They use locally sourced produce, truly minimise food waste and take on a conscious and ethical approach to their food. The cafe has a unique story - ask the staff about it. They serve up a set menu (mains, dessert, drinks) for a few days each week. It is priced very well and they serve up top quality food. Please not, this is a first come first serve place, so get in quick. This cafe and the staff are true gems! Don't miss out!

    I really struggle with eating, and don't ever enjoy my food. I ate here today and the staff were so accommodating, understanding and lovely. The food was genuinely really tasty, clean, fresh and well prepared. I actually enjoyed eating vegetables, which is an unheard occurrence. The atmosphere was really chill and the waiter service was also flawless. The prices are really good considering the quality of the food. I am going to go back to try and expose myself to more foods. Thank you Pod people. ;)

    the most amazing place in all of Coventry, with a calming atmosphere that never fails to brighten my day. healthy, reasonably priced food made from seasonal ingredients that always tastes amazing. plus, the Pod organisation itself is doing some great things in the city and has been for a while now. i go here pretty much weekly whenever i can and can’t recommend this place enough!

    Fantastic place! Waiters are fantastic and you can tell there is passion in the kitchen. Have really had some delicious and well prepared meals for a very competitive price. Friendly and vegan, nothing else to say.

    My favourite place in Coventry / the country. Such a nice venue used for such a great social-political cultural motivation. Love it being vegan, love it being affordable, love it being so eventful, kind and beautiful.💚 Went to a zine making workshop for free and was provided with wonderful free food and coffee and met amazing people — feel so spoiled. Rooting for the Pod!

    Lovely stop for vegan locally grown produce. Coffee and a brownie for me and a chat with the friendly staff. The building dates from 1500's and I sat next to this Victorian? fireplace.

    You won't find better food, or nicer staff, than Pod Cafe. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for every meal we have ever eaten there!

    What an amazing evening of food and entertainment at this evening's Supper Club. Well done to Greg, Marc and all the team. See you next time.

    If you have never been , prepare to have your taste buds explode with food that is so tantalising. I wish I could do this review justice. Simply go.

    🌱 Great-tasting, creative, and diverse vegan cuisine, lovely ambience, awesome service, fast preparation. The staff are also very helpful – they were kind enough to go out of their way and pack my meal for takeaway, despite the service not being normally offered 💚

    I've been going to this wonderful cafe for years and am never disappointed with the food or drink!! Such an amazing vegan cafe with incredibly affordable food and drink with locally sourced ingredients. Can't recommend enough!

  • 5/5 Mark D. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely outstanding. Menu changes each week but without fail always fabulous fresh, tasty food. Phenomenal value too, and staff always friendly and welcoming. Can't recommend this place too highly

    The cauliflower drum sticks in Korean sticky sauce was amazingly tasty and made the whole lunch so yummy. Well done guys. Had a nice chat with the chefs there, everyone very open about how their food are made and where it all comes from. Get geeky on cooking and enjoy the food.

    Great environment with a great atmosphere. Haven't had a lot of vegan food in my life but everything there tasted amazing. The music is great and so is the staff.

  • 5/5 Vincenzo De C. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this little café by accident while driving through Coventry, and it was a great experience! Very tasty lentil nut roast main, and the home made rocky road and apple + dates cake were delicious. The atmosphere is great, too bad we are living far away, otherwise it would be the perfect place to spend some quiet hours having a coffee and slice of cake and reading a book. Definitely recommended!

    The Pod is a gem in Coventry. Tasty, healthy food that supports Coventry's local communities. What more coud you ask for.

  • 5/5 Skyhighmonkey 1 year ago on Google
    After seeing the work going into growing and harvesting the food served here and how talented the chefs you realise how insanely charitable the price point is. Nothing comparable comes to mind. A+++
