“ We visited this beautiful place on a recent trip to Scarborough... What an absolute gem of a place. We had the smashed avocado on sourdough toast, I had poached eggs and my friend had plant based sausages. The portion size was huge, I couldn't finish mine! We also tried the cakes, both plant based which were delicious and all home made. We spent some time talking to the couple who own the restaurant, what a lovely couple they are and you can absolutely see they put their heart and soul into the place. My only regret is that I don't live close enough to go every week, but I'll definitely visit again. ”

“ Such a good spot with amazing vegan food! We had the vegan teriyaki chicken and the vegan hoisin duck poke bowls and they were so delicious, really convincing well flavoured meat and full of delicious vegetables. Even after surfing the portions were more than enough to be full and take some home. The hot chocolates with vegan whipped cream are totally next level too! ”

The whole place had such a nice vibe, super chilled but with a bit of personality. The owners were lovely and really welcoming, which made it even better. Just one of those places you instantly like. Would definitely go back! ”
