When I asked if there was a vegan alternative to butter it was replaced with hummus which was perfect. I enjoyed a chia chocolate ball which was delicious especially as I dislike dedicated coconut in desserts and it’s nearly always in protein balls. My husband enjoyed a Dahl with rice which was the hot dish of the day and a very impressive chocolate cheesecake. The coffee was great too it was very busy. Wednesday lunchtime. Lots of regulars getting food and coffee to take out.

They also stock a great range of vegan and eco items, including the delicious Cookie Dough from Naked Bakes! Excellent location too, central and near the river but in the artsy part of town.
