Alkaline Kitchen is a cute and quiet cafe, their main focus is having healthy vegan options so everything is naturally sourced and hand made. I tried the Alkaline Burger which is the best bean burger I have ever had and probably the only bean burger I've ever enjoyed. The atmosphere is chilled and cosy, the staff are incredibly friendly and polite, the prices are reasonable and of course the food is delicious. There... View all feedback.

We started with the Alkaline Nachos (£10.95), which featured nachos topped with marinated baked quinoa, fried beans, cashew cream, guacamole, pineapple salsa, and pickled red cabbage. The dish was drizzled with smoked cashew cheese. They were delightful, sweeter than any nachos I had before, and had a nice tangy twist. Next, we tried the BBQ Tacos (£9.50), which included shredded carrot in an alkaline BBQ sauce served in a crispy corn shell filled with fried beans and guacamole, along with pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage, accompanied by a side salad. These were hands down the best BBQ tacos I've had in the north. The Thai Buddy Bowl (£10.95) was another standout dish. It featured orange teriyaki chickpea tofu, surrounded by pineapple "fried" quinoa, purple coleslaw, a Thai side salad with almond and ginger dressing, and quinoa falafels with mango chutney. The blend of flavors was incredible, and this was my favorite dish—something I could happily eat several times a week. I plan to return just for this dish! We also tried the Thai Wrap (£9.95), which contained quinoa and drippy butter falafels wrapped in a soft tortilla with mango chutney, coleslaw, and kimchi—served with a Thai side salad, almond and ginger dressing, and pineapple quinoa. The combination of ingredients in this falafel wrap was unexpected but fantastic. Once again, it was sweeter than I had anticipated. For dessert, we enjoyed the Pink Pitaya Acai Bowl (£5.50), a fruity and smooth blend with celestial blueberries, bananas, kiwi, and coconut—perfect for breakfast! It was a real power breakfast. We paired our meal with Immunity Boost Juice (£4.00 each) made from strawberry, pear, apple, and lemon juice—it was refreshing and invigorating. The Tropical Sunrise Smoothie (£4.50) blended papaya, mango, orange, banana, coconut, maple, and cashew, maintaining the unique flavors of each fruit beautifully. Lastly, we had the Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie (£4.50), featuring strawberries, banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, and lemon balm. It might sound odd, but it worked perfectly— the earthy peanut butter provided a lovely texture and taste that complemented the sweetness of the fruit. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that was well worth the wait.

Enjoyed a Thai falafel wrap and oat cappuccino today. Going to be another place to grab good food when I'm in the office.

Dining here is fantastic! I visited Middlesbrough for work, and this has become my go-to place for meals. The portion sizes are generous, and the food is both delicious and healthy. The hot chocolate is one of the best I've ever had, and the coffee is excellent too.

Absolutely wonderful place. Had a take-away one day and lunch the next. Both came quickly. Food was fresh and tasty. I enjoyed it all but especially the almond smoothie. Friendly man at the counter/ serving. Note service charge is not added to the bill, so if you want to leave a tip then do ask to (if like me you don’t have cash for the tip jar).

I absolutely love this restaurant! They offer fantastic plant-based recipes and it's easily the best spot in the borough. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, and the staff are really pleasant. The portion sizes are very generous too. I enjoyed my meal so much that I've started getting their meal prep options so I can savor these delicious dishes at home. Keep up the great work!

The food here is absolutely fantastic. After recently moving to the area, I've been exploring various dining options, and AK definitely stands out for its delicious flavors and great value. The portions are generous, and I always leave feeling satisfied. It's truly comfort food at its best. If you're hesitant because of the vegan label, don't be! Just drop in, grab the BBQ tacos or Thai wrap, take a bite with your eyes closed, and you'll find yourself coming back regularly. And don't forget to try the cookies—they might just be the best I've ever had!

I ordered a delicious Thai Buddha bowl to take away, and they made it for me even though they were about to close. The flavors were wonderfully mixed. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5.
