I’d been to the old venue previously, so was looking forward to visiting again. Lovely space and vibe, comfortable and welcoming. Big tables, you may need to share at busy times. A few choices not available and reading the menu was difficult as it’s at the busy counter area and high up on the wall. I waited quite a while for my order to be taken whilst staff were busy preparing drinks/food, trying to keep two dogs entertained at the counter wasn’t easy 😅 I had the tempeh wrap with fries, very fresh if lacking flavour for me personally (I did order the mild though). I’d definitely return if in the area again.

We had a lovely brunch in this vegan cafe. We had avocado with lemon, sesame seeds, parsley and sumac, served on sourdough toast with an oat latte. Yum!

I walked into the cafe to a very well lit place with very welcoming staff. The cafe was abit quiet on arrival but soon got busy over the time I was dining. Good menu, I ordered the Mexican blackbean tempeh burger & paprika fries. The burger had a nice flavour kick, and the fries were very nicely cooked. All in all a very enjoyable meal.

The service was outstanding! Catered for my mum who is vegan but also has black pepper allergy which meant they created her a bespoke meal. Food was very nice and whilst I’m not personally vegan I thoroughly enjoyed! Full of flavour, colourful and beautifully presented! Thank you for being so patient!

An excellent cafe hidden down a side street on the border of Shipley and Saltaire with a yoga studio underneath. The food is all vegan. We ordered a mezze platter and as all the food was prepared on site and fresh it wasn't the cheapest, but totally worth it. We enjoyed every type of food in the platter and some items were outstanding. Will absolutely be going again. Only criticisms would be to rethink the drink choices a bit and possibly the seating as I can imagine some people may prefer cosy tables for two rather than larger tables. Accessible with a lift. Wish I'd had a piece of the cake!
