Great vegan breakfast and went back the next day for gorgeous cake and tea - Edit
What beautiful folk...we couldn't decide between vegan BLT or an omelette, decided on BLT and then the chef (who had overheard us) surprised us with a smaller oomelette to try also 😀, what loveliness 🥰 and both dishes were gorgeous.

My favorite vegan restaurant nr me - Edit
Everything I've had has been yummy! All dishes are made in-house too. The bacon sandwich and their omelet the best I've ever eaten! A very varied selection of food and drinks as well.

THIS PLACE ROCKS, YOU MUST VISIT - Edit
I don’t even know where to start… this place absolutely ROCKED my socks off!! 🎉 From the very first bite, I was blown away. As a vegan, I’ve tried a lot of spots, but this was next-level delicious – bursting with flavour, creative, and made with so much love.
Read moreEvery plate felt like a celebration – hearty, fresh, and downright addictive. I honestly wanted to stand on the table and sing about how good it was (don’t worry, I didn’t 😂).
If you’ve been searching for vegan food that makes your tastebuds dance, THIS is the place. Friendly staff, amazing vibes, and food so good it’ll have you planning your next visit before you’ve even left.
Run, don’t walk. Your soul (and stomach) will thank you 💚🌱✨
P.S will you guys marry me?

Super tasty! - Edit
Perfect lunch spot, even better when the sunshine is out. Extensive menu and nice to see breakfast served all day. Cakes looked INCREDIBLE on the counter.
Read moreWe tried the shawarma, the red cabbage in it was really nice, portion was huge too. And the V-BLT but subbed for the charcoal bread and cheese. Equally as nice. And the balsamic glaze on the salad was the perfect bit of sweet with the savoury.
Nice to see a busy vegan cafe! Will 100% visit again if in the area ☺️
Pros: Dog friendly. , Good portion sizes. , Great menu choices.

Best meal in England - Edit
I was visiting England for 2 weeks and consider our meal in Plantarium as the best. We had Tomato and Pesto Toastie and Ooomelette. The Ooomelette was absolutely delicious. Best I must have ever had. We also had a cappaccino and chai latte. The chai latte was awesome. The portion sizes are huge and so did not have any space for the vegan victoria sponge cake which I heard some other customers say was the best they ever had. I also really liked that they charge extra for dairy milk. Really liked seeing that :).

Plantarium Cafe - Edit
I drove down from Nottingham to visit the Plantarium Café. After circling the town trying to find parking and putting £14 in the meter, I finally arrived — only to find a ‘closed’ sign on the door and a note saying they’re shut until 4th July for a summer break.
Read moreI’d checked HappyCow before setting off — it said they were open. I also checked their Facebook and Instagram accounts, both of which had recent posts and listed them as open today. No mention anywhere about a summer closure.
A quick update on social media would’ve saved a wasted trip. The lack of communication to me shows little regard for customers — especially those who’ve travelled to visit and support them.

Delicious spot - Edit
I got the lox toast which came with a fresh side salad! This whole dish was amazing, the olive oil topping on the toast with a big juicy lemon squeeze was refreshing for a day of walking around and seeing Shakespeare. The cakes looked great too but I didn’t get to try them this time. 4 stars because they serve dairy milk.

Fab little cafe - Edit
Called in for lunch with my wife. We shared the shawarma and the "cheese" steak. Both were great but the shawarma was definitely the best, I highly recommend that to everyone.
Read moreWe shared a slice of cake afterwards and it was absolutely huge. Really moist too!
We sat outside so I can't comment on what the indoor seating is like, but the outside area is nice. It's out of the way so there's not too much foot traffic going by, and open enough to catch the sun in nice weather.
Pros: Tasty food, Big portions

All Round Great - Edit
Really loved our visit here. There is both indoor and outdoor seating as part of a lovely quiet setting.
Read moreFood options were great, and also the hot drinks were lovely too.
As far as I’m aware, the only none vegan option is that they offer dairy milk for hot drinks.
I had the vegan salmon toast which I highly recommend.
