Oh @we_are_vegan_everything, no one stacks up to you 🥞
Well, isn’t this just an absolute hidden gem? 💎 Tucked away on a little alleyway, this vegan paradise is the dictionary definition of ‘zen’ 🧘♀️ You can relax on a swinging chair, nibble your food on a rug, picnic style or whip out your laptop and tuck yourself away in a little nook. It’s just dreamy 🥰
Here’s what we thought:
🌱Banana Caramel Pancakes w/ vanilla ice cream, sliced banana, caramel sauce & coconut flakes
💰£9
✏️The flavours. Oh Lawd, the flavours. The sweet caramel sauce & toasted coconut got me 😍 I like that the coconut adds a little crunch. The ice cream is fluffy, light & creamy. The pancakes are a tad dense, I prefer them lighter & fluffier but they’re still tasty. We did eat the savoury dishes before getting to them which may have affected the texture
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Sunset Bowl w/ @marmite, scrambled turmeric & chive tofu, avocado, tomato marinated in garlic & basil oil, sauerkraut, balsamic vinegar, crispy onions, spring onions & rocket on sourdough (they were having bread issues so we had ours on a bagel)
💰£12
✏️ One of the most flavoursome scrambles I’ve had, a bit too salty in parts but overall beaut. Loved the onions but they’re overpowering, obvs loved the marmite 🤤 Pesto on the tomato is incredible. Would’ve liked chives chopped and all of it mixed together more but a solid, tasty dish!
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Mac & cheese topped w/ coconut “bacon”, crispy onions, black sesame seeds & nutritional yeast
💰£10
✏️ Really lovely flavour, quite cheesy! Love the crunchy “bacon” bits but they make the dish too sweet for me. It’s creamy but not too thick or gloopy. Spring onions are a nice addition!
❓Order again? Yes
☕️ We also had a peanut butter coffee which was bloody beautiful 🥜
