Sublime! - Edit
What a find! We thought there were no 100% vegan places in Monmouth because Happy Cow showed none on search. So it was a delightful surprise when we stumbled across it walking through the town. Their pizzas were delightful. As was the focaccia, and the cakes. Great coffee too and really lovely furnishings especially upstairs. The organic sourdough we took home was so tasty.
Read morePros: Lovely coffee, Amazing baked goods, Lovely cafe vibe with comfy furniture upstairs.

Alex Gooch Monmouth - Edit
Drove here from Malvern so a fair distance and when I arrived it was closed. The shop door was slightly ajar with staff cleaning the counter; they gave me a couple of blackberry cruffins, that would’ve been wasted for free, which was nice of them. But vegan businesses, we want to support you so please update your socials and listings when you change your opening hours. Not everyone who visits you is local.

Ridiciously Good! - Edit
So many amazing options! Great to see a fully vegan bakery thriving (there was a queue when we visited!). Only problem is you will have difficulty deciding - unless you do what I did and order several items to eat over the next few days 😂

Delicious - Edit
So I consider myself somewhat of a coffee and pastry nerd and I have to say that this place met all my expectations and more. Absolutely stunning pastries, coffees and bread. Prices very reasonable considering how much time and love need to go into creating these masterpieces. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about their products. Can’t recommend enough and we shall definitely be coming back.

More than just a bakery - Edit
Alex Gooch is a multi-award-winning baker and once you try this place you'll understand why.
Read moreIt's a great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch with pizzas, focaccia and ciabatta sandwiches as well as breakfast muffins with sausage and bacon.
Everything in this place is vegan, they just don't make it obvious. The coffee is divine and the cruffins (muffins crossed with croissants) are out of this world. #Veganuary
Pros: Blackcurrant cruffins, Super friendly staff , Great for people watching
Cons: Nothing

Vegan’s Dream - Edit
Fabulous plant based food - take away or eat in. We choose to eat in and had warm croissants with bacon, cheese and maple syrup - yummy. It took ages to decide what to eat as all of the menu choices are lovely - a vegan’s dream. Fab take away cakes, pizzas, cakes, sandwiches, and much more. The staff are very friendly - lots of places to sit - nice cozy room upstairs which was very popular. Looking forward to visiting again soon. #Veganuary

Fantastic Vegan Cafe - Edit
I was so pleased to find this bakery when visiting Monmouth. With everything vegan I could happily choose whatever I liked. The man serving was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I had a delicious pizza followed by a plant yogurt dessert, which was heavenly. The sun was shining and we sat outside despite it being October. I also bought bread to take home. I’ll definitely be back.
