Consistently brilliant

Have enjoyed this restaurant for a few years now and it never disappoints. The cakes are huge and delicious. The food is nutritious and varied. There is a wide selection of teas, coffees and other drinks (hard and soft). Plant milk is free, dairy milk at an extra charge for once!
The menu has recently been diversified and expanded and the cafe is usually busy.
I recently took my omnivore mother and she had the shawarma crunch, and really enjoyed it - so much that she wants to try making it herself!
One of my favourite spots to get food and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to all.

Pros: Fantastic cakes and coffee , Wonderful main meals , Consistency in quality

Cons: Mostly outdoor seating

Amazing gem tucked away

Unfortunately we’d already had lunch before we found this place, but the menu looked great. Couldn’t resist a chai latte and gorgeous raspberry cake. Loved how they charge extra for dairy milk, although it would be even better if they dropped it all together! Everything else there is vegan and looks delicious.

Cherry and almond cake was perfect

Always a winner for a vegan but even my non-vegan fam loved the cakes!
Really lovely vibes and staff. Dogs welcome and staff kindly gave our pup some treats

Really nice vegan cake and coffee

I visited this place yesterday and bought 2 coffees as I was sitting in the heat, I then decided to take the plunge and try there vegan cake, no egg? How can this be any good?

But actually I was very surprised, this is one place I'll be using time and time again asits the only vegan cafe in the area

Pros: The coffee, The cakes were amazing and a good size, Really quite and out of the way of tourists

Vegan heaven

I don't understand why this doesn't come up as fully Vegan, it's really the only full plant based gaff in town. The variety of food and drink is excellent, we went back time and again. I had an amazing schnitzel stack and some of the best coffee in town (decaf). Cakes are stunning and huge.

Pros: Everything plant based, Variety, Chilled

Cons: Limited breakfast options

Wonderful vegan food

An absolute gem of a find. Fantastic vegan food, lots of choices, quickly served, very reasonable price. We only stayed in Stratford for two days and having eaten here on the first day we came back on the second. If we lived nearer we would be eating here at least weekly.

It looks tiny from the outside and you might think they're full inside but there's more seating upstairs.

We had the shawarma crunch, trip to Mexico, tofu bbq burrito and I don't give a schnitzel. All delicious. And on both days we had the orange hot chocolate which was divine.

Some sites list Plantarium as vegetarian, but all the food is vegan. Maybe it's their offering dairy milk as an alternative to all the plant milks they have that got them the veggie label rather than vegan. It was nice to see the 30p surcharge on the dairy milk instead of the plant milks for a change😄

Highly recommended.

Pros: Wide range of really delicious choices, Food served quickly and piping hot, Very reasonable prices

Really tasty food

Cute little cafe in the minories. Large menu where everything is vegan. We opted for the schnitzel and the phish taco.
Both were really flavoursome and of decent sized portions.
The schnitzel was very tall and a little oily. I had to separate the two patties.
The tacos were very tasty with a nice fish flavour.
Had an iced tea and a blue matcha latte with oat milk.

They do offer dairy milks hence the vegetarian rating.

Pros: Cute venue, Friendly staff, Lots of choice.

Cons: A little oily , A little pricy.

My fav place in Stratford

Easily my favourite place in Stratford.
I cannot resist their rose Hot chocolate, and how on earth do they make their vegan fried egg taste so delicious???
Ordered my birthday cake from there this year and it was heavenly, always super friendly staff, and very accommodating, and show lots of love to my four legged friend

Great place for plant based lunch

Excellent little cafe. Great selection of plant based options ranging from toasted sandwich's, filled rolls, Mexican, you name it. It genuinely appeared to cater for everyone's taste and indeed everyone's price range. The cakes were particularly good as indeed was the coffee. Smallish indoor seating area complimented by a great outdoor space. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Great place for lunch and afternoon tea.

Pros: Great selection of foods and at a range of prices., Lovely, friendly and engaging staff

Cons: Unfortunately not open in the evening.

Fantastic breakfast and cake

I had the scrambled tofu for brunch and it was delicious. I also got some cake to take away and they were baked perfectly. This is a great place for everyone whether you’re vegan/veggie or not you’ll definitely find something you like

Pros: The scrambled tofu breakfast, The freshly baked cakes

Great vegan cood

All good is vegan, only non vegan option is dairy milk for drinks due to demand. We stopped here for lunch & had toasties and cake; my husband had the ‘no chorizo’ and I had the cheese and cranberry. Both were delicious - we particularly liked the charcoal bread. We also had the chocolate and cherry cake so yummy! Thoroughly recommend this place

Pros: The food of course!, All vegan food, Great service
