Vedi - Derby

Researched online beforehand, clearly stated Xmas hours, and that they were closed until Monday 1st. Tuesday 2nd, we went to a lot of effort to get there (long story), but it was closed, even though the poster on the door said same Xmas hours as I’d previously seen online. Reluctantly walked back into the shopping centre in the pouring rain to get mediocre vegan food from non-vegan restaurant.

Favourite coffee stop in Derby. We wish we were hungry as menu loins delicious. Good coffee. Lovely helpful staff. Very chilled and clean and relaxed.

We read about Vedi as we passed by Derby when looking online for a nice plant-based cafe to have lunch. In what at first appeared to be an out of the way location, we soon found Vedi (from the word: Ayurvedic) and delighted at the aromas and simple but effective decor. Although for the most part empty of other customers, service was quite slow, but turned out to be well worth the wait. The omelette and Buddah bowl were delicious. The owner was very friendly and helpful. It may be worth phoning ahead to check on their opening hours as they appear to change, and may not be accurately detailed on their website or on Google. Our only disappointment was learning that they do offer cows milk 'as an option ', which for what we believed to be a vegan, plant based cafe, didn 't sit well with us. Other than that. Highly recommended, but not if you 're in a hurry.

Fabulous. I’m not vegan but enjoy fresh flavourful food and good coffee and cake. Would highly recommend to everyone who enjoys tasty food. The ‘omelette’ made with chickpeas was beyond words delicious. I can’t eat real cheese any more and often find vegan cheese to be very gluey when melted this wasn’t and really tasted like actual cheese. Cant upload a photo an empty plate isn’t attractive!

We had a short stop here for great take away sandwiches. The service was very friendly and the sandwiches very tasteful.
