    Great restaurant for vegans and vegetarians. The chef was great to chat to and very accommodating, would love to go more often but unfortunately just a bit too far from Harrogate.

    This is a super cafe for all things veggie and vegan including people with milk sensitivity. The space is relaxed with plenty of seating with a cottage feel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is varied and they have a specials board. The breakfast is really tasty. The food is beautifully cooked and presented. There is a free car park within walking distance. Table reservations are accepted.

    I cannot rave about this place enough!!! The staff who work here are so kind and helpful, they are really friendly and make you feel so welcome. The menu is great, so much choice and everything vegetarian. And the food itself is just 10/10!!! Everything we had (mezze platter, goats cheese panini, cakes and smoothies) was just faultless. I would definitely recommend a stop here whilst you’re in Ilkley :)

    Awesome cafe. The food and service were excellent, as was the cake! Loads of vegan options and not overpriced as some veggie places are. I will be returning..100%. Word of warning, this place gets very busy so if you're thinking of going at lunchtime, I'd defo book. The waiting time was going on 2 hours on the day we were there. Quality food is worth the wait though! 🥕🍄🍆🥦🍌🍓☕️

    First time visiting this cafe and we will be back! Huge selection on the menu and prompt and friendly service. We had the mushroom burger and the chick pea burger. Very tasty!

  • 5/5 Ben S. 1 year ago on Google
    Finally returned here after 6 years for a delicious vegetarian lunch and it was as excellent as we remembered. It feels as if every element of every dish has been lovingly perfected down to the small details. Food is somehow both light/healthy and satisfying/delicious. Atmosphere is very homely and friendly feeling. You may want to book ahead as they're always busy.

  • 5/5 Lisa R. 1 year ago on Google
    A warm welcome and great service. The food is excellent too and it's great as a veggie to go to a restaurant and have more than one or two choices on a menu.

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 1 year ago on Google

    This place is very popular and busy, and you may not be able to just turn up to find a seat. The bathrooms are clean and at the back, away from everything which is good. They have so many options to choose from, you won’t go hungry. They make a great coffee and service is quick and easy.

  • 5/5 David B. 3 years ago on Google
    Doing great takeaway food under the current difficult circumstances. Mostly vegan as well.

  • 4/5 SusanJanet R. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly, clean and great food. Lovely sandwiches, egg on toast and the gluten free raspberry and almond cake was fantastic. 1st visit but would definitely go again 🤗

  • 5/5 lesley f. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. Great for vegans and veggies but also good for non veggies looking for a light bite. Excellent service and delicious home cooked food.

    Had a wonderful lunch here today. Warm and cosy atmosphere with great food and coffee. Highly recommended.

  • 2/5 Josie S. 4 years ago on Google
    We visited twice last year. The first time they put cheese on my mushrooms, despite me stipulating I had a dairy allergy, they claimed it was vegan however, as a lifelong vegan I know the difference between vegan and dairy. They took it away and came back with it scraped off, I could still smell the cheese. My husband ate it and I ate something in the car that we had with us. We returned several months later hoping it was an honest mistake because they were busy and asked for our meal to be gluten free & vegan. They assured us their bread was gluten free and vegan, I asked where it was from because I have been caught out before and had gluten free bread that has egg in it (severe allergy). When the meal arrived I triple checked with the waitress and as a result the manager brought a loaf upstairs and literally plonked it on the table, clearly annoyed. It was Tesco's own seeded bread in a vacuum packed bag. It has honey in which is NOT vegan. I left the bread and ate the rest of the meal, cautiously and we have not returned. Allergies are serious, I carry epi-pens with me but would really rather not have to use them so when asking if food is suitable the owner needs to not get annoyed with customers and understand that they have zero choice where allergies are concerned but not only that, they are meant to be a vegetarian restaurant and therefore one would have thought they would have a better understanding towards vegans. Allergies aside, Vegans do not eat honey.
