Sanctuary Of Healing Cafe

This restaurant has always been bustling during lunchtime, so I was taken aback when I found it nearly empty today. Upon looking at the menu, I quickly understood why. There were no tasty quiches or hot specials, only vegetarian soups, salads, and sandwiches. Even the desserts were uninteresting and lackluster. The staff were friendly, efficient, and sociable, but seemed to be worried about their jobs. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

I met a friend for lunch on Monday, February 3rd. it was my second time in cafe and I was slightly disappointed the second time in organic cafe. I was previously with the same friend about 3 years ago and when I... remember right, the menu was more varied, more to choose and I am sure it wasn't all meat fish for free. I chose the Cheddar cheese sandwich and asked if I could have the avocado on it, instead of the red wobble chutney they did, and I was happy with it. I also had a skorn with saw and jam and the pfefferminztee. eating was pleasant, the service was great, staff really friendly, good value for money. I just felt it was missing a little atmosphere and it felt very cold. I don't say I wouldn't come back, but I'm just slightly disappointed that all meat and fish were removed from the menu.

Popped in for coffee and cake with a friend after receiving a recommendation. The setting is lovely and the cafe is light, spacious and airy. The coffee was Ok and the cake selection, although not massive, provided something for everyone. I had a large coconut...macaroon which was lovely.

Visited with my husband for lunch and was interested to see the whole menu is now vegetarian with plenty vegan options. My husband chose a BBQ tofu wrap with Thai lentil soup and I ordered houmous avocado sandwich with tomato red pepper soup....We also had a tea and coffee afterwards with a vegan oat ginger biscuit. The food was excellent we had no complaints unlike on our last visit when the prices had been hiked through the roof and portions minute. They have obviously listened to customer feedback and reduced prices and increased portions. I will definitely revisit now as I want to try more of the vegan options.

I went for lunch and chose a sandwich described as containing houmous and avocado. I paid for mine and a friend's order including a soup, plus tea and coffee. We waited an inordinate amount of time for anything to arrive the food arrived first!...I was told I hadn't paid for the soup?? I explained I had paid what I'd been asked to pay no more was said obviously their mistake. My sandwich was just a salad sandwich with 2 small pieces of avocado and at first I thought no houmous but later discovered that the houmous had been spread on the bread and scraped off again like a light smear of butter. The cucumber, pepper and onion was in such big chunks that the bread couldn't hold it and fell apart probably because there was no houmous to keep it together. I don't like raw pepper and certainly not in a sandwich so I wouldn't have chosen this. Work needs to be done on how food is described oh and all that salad was served with an identical salad on the side! No additional flavour or finesse. Poor food at a high price. I'm off home to make myself a proper tasty sandwich :
