Lovely cafe - Edit
Really nice little cafe with lots of options! I had the breakfast which was really good! My non-vegan boyfriend said this was the nicest hot chocolate he'd ever tried! He also throughly enjoyed the hot dog! Cronut was slightly disappointing.

Was really excited to have a vegan place a short drive from our AirBnb. Simple but delicious food that came out quickly. The smoothies are amazing and the cakes we had were really tasty. The staff are lovely too!

Top Vegan Food - Edit
Went here as part of a group of 20. We made a reservation due to the group size, and was given the entire area at the rear of the building. Considering the large size of the group, service was fast, food came out promptly, and was also amazing in every aspect. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, and will certainly be back when in the area again.

Excellent - Edit
Loved this place. Visited three times on our week long holiday in the area. My three year old loved the hummus plate, whilst my partner and I had the burger, hot dog, gyros and BBQ cauliflower wings. We also had Cornish pasties and sausage rolls to take away twice for our lunches whilst out and about and they were perfect for this. We also loved the waffle freak shake and cakes. Service could be a little slow at times, food always came out really quick but a bit slow to clear away plates/ask if we wanted dessert. Nothing to major though, and worth it to support an independent, fully vegan cafe.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, Take away available

Gluten free vegan food too, yay! - Edit
Four of us visited and were very happy with the Not dog (GF option), Bhaji burger, Gorilla filler burger (GF option) and burrito bowl. We were so full that we took our cakes home (we couldn't leave without cake!) we had a donut and the GF mouse cake which was lovely. Highly recommend this little Gem in Wales, it definitely lived up to it's rave reviews for us.

A really fantastic place and well worth a visit. We had the Buddha Bowl and Burrito Bowl, both absolutely delicious. We also order the sourdough garlic bread and were stuffed by the end! It was all so good. Finished it off with a turmeric chai and a vanilla chai.

Hidden Gem! An absolute must! - Edit
Best vegan cafe in North Wales!
Read moreAs soon as you walked in the door you felt welcomed and relaxed. There is a large choice of food and drink.
The sharing platter had a variety of things to try with exceptional cauliflower wings as bbq loaded fries. The chilli on the nachos was a great alternative to the traditional 'mince' style. The chicken less bites were crispy and and the sweet chilli sauce just added that extra something! The ranch sauce is definitely a must to try.
If you have room the banana boscoff milkshake was topped with a freshly baked waffle and a biscoff biscuit. Amazing!

Delicious food - Edit
Huge menu. It was very difficult to choose! I had the fish less cakes which were scrummy. They do lots of different types of burgers, hot dogs and specials. The apple and caramel tart was amazing- had to take it away for later as the main course portions are very generous.
Read morePros: Scrumptious food, Huge portions, So much choice!
Cons: It's not close enough to where I live.
