    Superb coffee. Great vibe. Regularly changing menu is consistently tasty and good value. The (tempeh) BLT is utterly awesome. The tacos are lovely & the 'smoked salmon' has to be tasted to be believed. Yum! Always something going on - art events, DJs, live music, dance classes ... And, it's VEGAN! Brilliant 👏🏼

    This gem was sensational. I think they singlehandedly raised my bar of a 10/10 sandwich (if that's even possible¿¿). The vegan BLT was 🤤 you might ask what's so special about this? Well.... 1) the softest and freshest bread that doesn't leave the bread sticking to the roof of your mouth and isn't too thick, so proportions of carb & filling are perfect 2) the smoky maple tempeh was packed full of flavour, and imo far better than any actual bacon I've ever had. 3) the two sauces that lather the bread are generously and evenly spread and taste delicious 4)) the crunchiest lettuce and juicy tomato (lol what weirdo talks about the lettuce and tomatoes in a sandwich? Guilty 🙋🏽‍♀️ because getting these key ingredients right honestly makes such a difference in the overall taste) 5) made by some great guys who really know their flavours in beautiful little cafe I'm honestly still dreaming about this sandwich, and I had it over a week ago. Can't wait to visit this place again because if this meal is anything to go by, then I'm sure in for a real treat 😍 p.s I'm not even vegan, but this is tastier than any non-vegan 'wich I've had before.

    We’ve had a BLT and a Banh mi which we’re absolutely gorgeous. People say vegan food is rubbish but don’t knock it until you try it. Yum yum 😋 Dietary restrictions: GF

    I've been meaning to try this place out for a while now and it was well worth the wait. It's a little off the beaten track but just a 10 minute walk from Windsor & Eton Riverside Station. Quirky venue, cool vibe, friendly welcome and most importantly, delicious food. The menu is small and changes regularly. We didn't try the cakes but they looked great. My only complaint was that it was a bit chilly inside and I didn't have enough layers on. But next time I'll know! Looking forward to going back again soon.

    I first spotted this team outside a brewery where they served up an amazing Korean Hot Dog and I knew had to try more. Since then I have been to the cafe a few times and it's absolutely brilliant. They have a great drinks menu, all very reasonably priced, and oat milk is the default milk (of course!). The food is another level. They use the freshest ingredients and make everything from scratch - that quality comes out in the food. So far I've had their BLT, a few different sausage rolls, and a cinnamon roll, and today I tried their Reuben Sandwich. It had jackfruit rather than corned beef and was cooked to perfection, delicious! The staff are passionate and a delight to talk to, and it's also part of a nonprofit so another great reason for you to go. The only issue I have is that they're very creative and keep coming up with new dishes that I have to keep going back to try!

    Amazing food and really friendly staff. We turned up just as they were opening, but we were welcomed in, taken to a seat near a heater and had hot drinks in no time. The food was inventive (tempeh bacon, aubergine chilli jam) and delicious, I would definitely go again the next time I'm in Windsor. Well worth a detour!
