I asked the kerl on the counter if they had any vegan baked and he gave me muffins right out of the many. so good.

I was able to adapt a sandwich to vegan and to gluten-free vegan brot. there is a beautiful grave-and-go case in the front, the vegan items (gras-based and other salads.) the personal was friendly and helpful with my wish.

They are a wonderful new Haven fastening a large independent bookshop with a veg-friendly caffe. the large caffe room is from windows, how to eat in a greenhouse, and they are surrounded by books! on beautiful weather days they use one of the rare outdoor terraces of new haven and people watching on the chapel street. the menu had for ever 2 vegetarian sandwiches: fromnegut’s (roasted) veggies that could be vegan when they keep the braut; and the tempesto, a pretty beautiful tomaten mozz sandwich. they have recently got a vegan option, the firm of eden lentil-quinoa veggie burger, which I did not get to try but have high hopes. the (non-vegan) brownies are also amazingly good and as big as their palm. homemade ice cream and abi are good drinks options. super nice cozy bookstore caffe, surrounded by books on a charming part of the Cape Street. a victor!

Eating is pretty good, good choice of options and can meet their nutritional needs.

Overall, if they are looking for a sweet cozy atmosphere, and a great place to have a chat or work to do, then they give this place a try!

The staff is always extremely friendly and welcoming. My favorite thing at The Book Trader, however, is the scones. You can smell them baking when you walk in, and they are big and delicious. I prefer to go to The Book Trader over the big chain coffee shops. The staff is much friendlier and you feel like more than just a customer.

My grandchildren had a wonderful time choosing and getting their free book. As avid supporters of children's literacy, we couldn't wait to bring their new books home so they could start reading.

They offer a wide variety of seating options both indoors and outdoors. The staff is friendly, and there are plenty of drink choices available. The café provides a typical café experience. It is a popular spot, especially on weekends, so be prepared for limited indoor seating and potential lines. If you are seeking a charming and cozy ambiance to enjoy a conversation or get some work done, Trader Café is worth a visit.

I ordered a vegan chai and it was pretty good; it had the perfect amount of sweetness. A little criticism is that my table had crumbs, but I probably came to a strange time and it was a simple fixation. The Wifi actually works. Make sure you select the right network and read the characters carefully. Who reads in a bookstore? Bad joke. The book selection is small, but the bookshelves are really organized and the sections are clearly marked. It was a nice time. Will visit this place soon!

Large tables, a patio, and wraparound window seating provide a variety of options for people to read, plug in a computer, or visit with friends. It is a peaceful place to eat and read, as the dining room is in the center of a set of high bookshelves, which offer a smattering of used books across categories. When I ventured into the stacks, I found that each section was clearly labeled, and their fiction section was much larger than I expected from the store?s small size. I was only in town for the day, but I would recommend this bookstore to anyone looking for a book to read on the train and a bite to eat.

Great atmosphere and service and vegan options! P.S.: Thank you for playing Fiona Apple songs. read more Great atmosphere and service and vegan options! P.S.: Thank you for playing Fiona Apple songs.

The soups and sandwiches are delicious, and I enjoyed pretty much everything I tried. The service was excellent, and the outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying in the warmer months. They have a wide selection of books at very reasonable prices as well. Overall, a fantastic experience!

I really enjoyed the selection of books, the ambiance, and the pastries at this restaurant! I will definitely be returning in the future. read more I really enjoyed the selection of books, the ambiance, and the pastries at this restaurant! I will definitely be returning in the future.

It's a cozy spot with plenty of seating to enjoy a drink, snack, and read a good book. They even have a special vegan chai for non-coffee drinkers. When I asked about vegan baked goods, the kind gentleman behind the counter gave me freshly baked muffins that were absolutely delicious.

Thankfully, I discovered that there are actually more vegan food options available if you just ask. I was able to customize a vegan sandwich on gluten-free bread, and there is also a great vegan dessert option. The front grab-and-go case offers vegan items such as salads. The staff were friendly and accommodating to my dietary requests.

There’s also a few vegetarian sandwiches you can veganise by getting them without cheese. The vegan chocolate cake however was amazing. Super creamy and rich. Even the non-vegans enjoyed it.
