    Really delicious food and a fantastic range of amazing desserts that are different on different days. Staff are lovely- helpful and friendly. Specials as well as the usual menu are available. Popular, so I'd suggest booking. Burgers are great, curries, so many tasty options. Vegan cheese including "halloumi" and many fake meat options. Delicious breakfast options and my kids loved the banana bread especially.

    A must visit. Turned up here late evening for dinner while we stayed in Crawley and we really enjoyed it. The curry was delicious. The Orzo salad was so nice that I’ve started to make it at home once a week. The Iskender probably needs some adjustments but I’ve had Iskender in the past in Turkey so of course the vegan version will not be the same. The home made cheesecake is by far the nicest cheesecake (vegan or non vegan) I’ve ever had. Will definitely come back to try more dishes!

    Being a hardcore meat eater, never thought I would love a vegan cafe so much. Totally worth it. Its a small place in a corner of the city but it did not disappoint. Didnt even knew that coconut milk and vanilla could go hand in hand until I drank the vanilla shake

    Amazing all vegan cafe/restaurant in Crawley run by a lovely family. The chef is amazing and they have a new special each week alongside a substantial menu of mains, sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Totally recommend even if you're not vegan but just want great food!

    I'm not vegan but accompanied some friends here for some dinner. The food was extremely flavourful, presented beautifully, and served with a warm and thoughtful attitude. Would recommend and will be visiting again!

    This place is always delicious and enjoyable. From the smoothies to the coffee to the vegan burger and fries- so good. The interior is charming and very enjoyable to sit with a friend for lunch or alone. There is also a couple tables outside for enjoying your food on a pleasant day. The staff is really professional, nice, attentive and makes sure you are OK.

    Fabulous family owned, 100% vegan restaurant. My husband and I were in the UK for 3 weeks and this was the most hearty, home-cooked style food we’ve had during our entire trip. Super friendly service, amazing menu and tasty food - perfection! We had a banana and strawberry milkshake, cheezy pasta, kabab special, and sticky toffee pudding.

  • 5/5 Meg A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. It took me a good 10 minutes to order because of how extensive the menu was. Everything looked so tasty but eventually we chose the vegan breakfast with a side of cauliflower fritters. Food was sensational, coffee & smoothies absolutely perfect and the staff are lovely. Restaurant itself is lovely, calm, very clean and modern. A perfect spot for anytime of day!

    My partner and I went here for a date night and we were very impressed! This is my second vegan-only restaurant visit and I very much enjoyed the food. There were good options, generous portions and everything is very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and relaxed and made our visit very comfortable. My partner and I shared some dishes and ut was vwry filling and tasty! We will definately visit again soon, perhaps to try the breakfast! 😏

    After trying their food once I immediately became a regular! Everything was super delicious and the staff was so nice. My non vegan boyfriend agrees that (especially for Crawley) this place is a gem. We will try everything on the menu asap. 🥰❤

    Really great food, lots of options and really nicely presented. Very lovely chatting with the owner. Wish I lived closer so I could try more of the menu. Especially enjoyed the jackfruit chips and the kofte

  • 4/5 jay c. 2 months ago on Google • 39 reviews New
    Very attentive and helpful staff here. The food we ate was really tasty. Beautifully flavoured and seasoned. Everything here is vegan. We're not vegetarian but enjoyed our meals and didn't miss meat at all! We enjoyed pulled jackfruit burger and kofta kebabs. Great gluten free choices available.

  • 5/5 Neil P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic vegan cafe. The food is really, really tasty. The kids loved the Oreo milkshakes, spirali pasta and creamy cashew sauce and carrot and orange cake. The waitress recommend I tried the Iskender kebab, which was awesome. Full of amazing flavour. Service was top class and we were made to feel welcome. Will definitely come back again.

  • 5/5 Claudia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place , food is always delicious with good service. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Ellie 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing!!! Unfortunately their coffee machine wasn’t working so I was unable to try their Biscoff Latte which I had heard so much about, but the lovely waiter recommended the Biscoff Shake instead which was possibly the best shake I’ve ever had!!! I ordered the Shicken Caesar wrap which came with chips and a side salad and was absolutely delicious! Amazing service and amazing food! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Edzus V. 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect vegan burgers. Delicious!

  • 3/5 Rob_in J. 1 year ago on Google
    Not being terribly familiar with vegan food, I chose the vegan 'chicken' curry. I probably should have read the menu properly before ordering. The seasoning was strange, the vegetables were overcooked and there was no confusing the chicken for genuine meat. Oh well lesson learned I guess.

  • 5/5 simon g. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent Vegan Cafe, food is always delicious. Friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Morag T. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this restaurant. Good food, good drink, lovely staff. Would eat here every week if I could!

  • 5/5 James W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our first time here but it won't be our last. Being new to the area it is great to have such a great vegan cafe near by. They have such a great varied menu and serve during the day, until 9pm. Just to be clear, the cakes in here are sooo good. Please also try their milkshakes (vegan obviously). I would say the best I have ever tried. Please keep doing what you do and we will be back soon 🙏💚🙏

  • 5/5 Rachel G. 1 year ago on Google
    We’ve been coming to this cafe now for about three years and love it. I’m vegan and my partner isn’t but loves vegan food. The staff are so friendly and the food is delicious. My absolute favourite is the lasagne and my partners current favourite is the vegetable stir fry with Tofu. Highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Emma G. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it. We were heading for Gatwick and are so glad we stopped to eat here. Delicious food and drinks, lots of choice, lovely team/staff, and great atmosphere. We’ll definitely visit again when we’re passing.

  • 5/5 Caroline D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely, friendly people. Yummy food. Everything is vegan which is music to my ears. (For info, they also do gluten free) Clean and well maintained to a very high standard. Really can't fault this place. Please support these local, independent places.

  • 5/5 Suggi P. 1 year ago on Google
    Cant believe we've gone this long without knowing about this little gem! Came for lunch..fell in love instantly! The food is amazing, staff were brilliant! Will definitely be coming back regularly!

  • 5/5 Trevor h. 3 years ago on Google
    This is an excellent vegan restaurant with superb food. We went again today and it was just as good as previous visits. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Karthik M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Neil M. 1 year ago on Google
    Popular and busy café serving delicious food. I have the Full Vegan Breakfast which was wonderful and satisfying. The breakfast tea is especially good: loose tea, wonderful crockery and full of flavour. I also had a spectacular hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and carrot cake. Consequently I needed a long walk after! I really enjoyed every morsel and every moment. The staff were the cherries on the icing of the cake.

  • 5/5 Lord Liam R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff. I got taken there for my birthday treat. And I must say it was a pleasant experience, and I will be returning.. no pictures to show as was enjoying it to much to share. Maybe next time👌🏼

  • 5/5 Hannah G. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I had lunch at Sage today and it was delicious. We don’t live that nearby but will definitely be back as it was one of the best vegan meals we’ve had in a long time. The food was fresh and so tasty and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Georgie L. 8 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    3 of us went there for lunch it was my husband first time having a vegan meal and he loved it. The service was excellent. We didn’t have to wait to long for our food and the portion size were great we couldn’t eat it all of it, think our eye was to big for our bellies. My friend is dairy intolerant so it’s nice for her to go somewhere good and not to worry or ask lots of questions about what to order she even brought some cake to take home. Well worth the money. Can’t wait to go back.

  • 5/5 Antonín P. 11 months ago on Google
    Sage has become my favourite "Sunday treat place" Not only for the fresh and tasty food which always cheers me up but also for the friendly staff who are obviously enjoying what they do. I'd recommend this place to everyone. Whether you are vegan or meat eater I'm sure you'll enjoy eating here.

  • 4/5 chirag d. 8 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sage, a fantastic vegan restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The food was nothing short of mouth-watering and simply amazing. Each dish I tried left me wanting more, and I was delighted to discover the variety of flavors and textures they offered. The customer service at Sage was truly exceptional. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Their knowledge about the vegan cuisine and their willingness to cater to dietary preferences made the visit even more enjoyable. Now, let me share my ratings for some of the dishes I tried: 1. Grilled Kofte kabab - 9/10: This dish was an absolute highlight, with its perfect blend of spices and textures. It's a must-try for anyone visiting Sage. 2. Mushroom cheese toast - 8.5/10 : A delightful combination of flavors, the mushroom and cheese toast was a close second, offering a comforting and savory experience. 3. Stir-fried vegetables - 8/10: The stir-fried vegetables were fresh, vibrant, and delicious, showcasing the natural flavors of the ingredients. 4. Spirali pasta - 9/10: The spirali pasta was a delightful surprise, with a delectable sauce and perfectly cooked pasta. Overall, my experience at Sage was truly exceptional, and I'm already eager to visit again. If you're a vegan food enthusiast or just looking for a delightful culinary adventure, Sage is the place to be! You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 James T. 9 months ago on Google
    We had no intention of going to Crawley but our flight was delayed by a good 3 hours! We were very excited to find this place, as we are vegans. The service was very friendly and helpful. And the food was really creative and delicious! Would recommend to anyone who was in our specific situation of having a flight delayed by three hours or more, or someone who resides in Crawley. You will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Jason C. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent vegan restaurant, located in Crawley. Nice, welcoming staff. Broad menu, with a great selection of vegan starters, mains, desserts and drinks. Cauliflower fritters and The Berry One smoothie particular favourites.

  • 5/5 Niya J. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Melanie R. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is always lovely & staff very friendly & attentive ..such a clean cafe too..

  • 5/5 Scott R. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been coming to this place for a while and they food and service is always excellent. As a vegetarian (of only 2 years) I can truly say I don't notice the fact it's all plant based and there really is something for everyone. My highlight is the moving mountain burger (a special but seems to be always available) - if you like imitation meats (not all of us don't stop eating meat because of the taste!) then try this. They've managed to perfectly recreate a quality burger and you wouldn't know it was meat free, or even that the cheese is vegan!

  • 5/5 Lydia & Natalie White W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great and friendly service. The food was delicious and delivered in the time advised on the phone. Food arrived good sturdy containers and the lasagne was hot on arrival

  • 4/5 Space S. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious food.....great ethics....attentive staff. Very busy, would give 5 stars but it was a little too noisy inside.

  • 5/5 Abigail B. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    The best vegan cafe in West Sussex, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food always hits and the biscoff latte is the best coffee I’ve ever had. If you are vegan you must try this cafe because you’ll love everything on the menu. Great with children too. Always a pleasure to come here.

  • 5/5 CG G. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely vegan food! Tasty and lots of options to choose from. We took 3 non-vegans there and they loved the food too! Would recommend and go back.

  • 4/5 Josh R. 3 years ago on Google
    Decent. I had the Moving Mountains burger. I'd say that you could fairly comfortably conclude that it isn't meat, but for an imitation burger it was not half bad at all. Wasn't particularly impressed with the salad, one of those not really necessary touches that places like to add from time to time, and the chips were only OK. Milkshake was good. You wouldn't know that wasn't cow juice, no sir. I'd be more than happy to go back and try and bit more of the menu. Good one ya, Crawley.

    This place is a little gem in the dull Crawley. I have been willing to go for a while and eventually went there today. What a fab experience! The place is beautiful, clean and cosy The staff is polite, helpful and efficient The food is incredibly tasty, well presented on the plate, and a rather big portion. I chose the jackfruit burger and my friend the lasagna, we were both impressed, we will definitely come back soon for some cake

  • 5/5 James P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little vegan cafe in Crawley. Menu is large and value for money is incredible. So cheap for what you get and it’s all vegan. Breakfast menu is certainly the best as the variety and flavours are great. Everything fresh and service was good too

    An amazing place for a wide range of fantastic vegan selection.. Made a special day even more special.. Will be here more often for sure.. and to top it all, a very friendly and helpful staff.. Well done team Sage.. 👍👍

  • 5/5 Aleksandra P. 2 years ago on Google
    The vegan milkshakes here are to die for! My partner and I decided to check this place out after seeing great reviews online, we aren't vegan, but my partner is allergic to egg so it's nice for him to be able to order anything from the menu without worries. The staff is very friendly and helpful, our waiter was attentive and genuinely caring. There's plenty of interesting good options and as previously mentioned the milkshakes are just awesome. After a filling meal we were still eyeing the cakes they offer and decided to take a slice home, it was lemon, rose and raspberry and it was delicious. We will definitely be back soon and I fully recommend this restaurant, even if you're a meat eater it's nice to try something new.

  • 5/5 Lisa H. 3 years ago on Google
    fab food, friendly service

  • 5/5 TM 2 years ago on Google
    There's no doubt in my mind that wether your vegan or not.. This cafe does the best food in crawley and it is within good reason. The nutritious and absoloutly tasty selection of food and drinks on the menu is unbelievably tasty and I felt so satisfied after from the delicious experience. Staff was incredibly friendly and extremely polite. There's a wonderful atmosphere from the moment I walked in and was worth every penny spent for the amazing time and effort this cafe does for its sevices. Recommend this place for all to come dine in and I would especially recommend the bbq jackfruit burger! 5/5 😋
