I Love Vegan Junk Food! - Edit
This place is awesome, the decor is great. it is fantastic how they have incorporated both a vegan store and restaurant. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was rather slow, drinks too about 5 mins to arrive, and the burrito took about 25 mins, and the place wasn't busy at the time.
Read moreThe Food
My partner and I had the;
Chocolate Brownie. This was okay, a little dry, far from the best vegan brownie we have had. This was a disappointment.
Chocolate, Caramel, Hazelnut Cake. This was above amazing, the cake was fluffy, moist, rich, all with beautiful flavours. This was great value for the price as the slice was a lot bigger than expected. (would Highly Recommend)
Peanut Butter Coffee. This was pretty good, I enjoyed it, but it could have benefited from a slightly stronger peanut butter flavour.
Burrito (with added Guacamole, & Jalapenos. The burrito was the highlight of the everything we had. It was the best vegan burrito I have had. The nacho cheese was unbelievable, so were the refried beans, and 'beef'. The nacho cheese would be great in a big bowl just so I could dip tortilla chips into it (or my face). (recommend the burrito highly)
The Store
They have an amazing range, and variety of vegan goods to buy, there was stuff I hadn't been able to find anywhere that they have, such as V-Pud, Violife Meat Slices, Wheat Gluten, + more (they even have homemade ice cream. They have a cool range of tote bags, stickers, t-shirts, pins etc to buy. Overall it is a great place, really hope they open a VX in Worcester soon.

All the YES! - Edit
Wow, this place is simply the best if it’s filthy junk food you’re after! ❤️ The burgers are just ace and my friends assure me that the kebabs, hotdogs and mac n cheese are tops too. The desserts will blow your socks off! Everything from chunky slices of delicious cake to incredible looking shakes. The other big bonus is that you can fill your shopping basket as well as your stomach here. The shelves are rammed with all your vegan favourites! Vegenaise, Mozzarisella, Tofu, Quorn vegan ham, vegan chorizo, sweets galore. Just about everything you could ever want! You can’t set foot in Bristol without visiting and still keep your vegan credentials intact.

I must of caught them on a bad day! - Edit
Just to state that I'm always very fair when reviewing cafes/restaurants. I've been vegan for best part of a yr now, I was passing through Bristol and was excited to try Vx as there is a lack of any vegan places where I live. To start with the positives: the staff are friendly, the place is nice/clean. They stock a couple of refrigerators of goods that you cannot get elsewhere. The milkshake was great. Unfortunately, I had the Vx burger and it was floppy and undercooked. If you're going to cook a burger then you'd expect it to have a bit of texture and flavour from being grilled or griddled, and this was soft and tasteless. My partner had the quesadilla and he said it was fine. We bought an ice cream sandwich to take away and it tasted a little bit stale. I really hate to give them negatives, like I say, I think caught them on a quiet afternoon. I would say if you're going to advertise yourself as providing Vegan junk food, try and get it right. Will revisit if passing but not sure I would go out of my way as I have today. If so I will update this next time...

Pros: It's a full Vegan cafe! Well done to them., They're friendly and have good product knowledge., Excellent range of vegan foods for sale.
Cons: You cannot get a full meal, no sides, no fries., Ask for your burger to be well done!

I love this place - Edit
This is the ultimate vegan place to eat in Bristol to be honest, I mean it is junk food so don’t expect a well presented plate of greens but the food they do is lovely, thino McDonald’s minus the pain, suffer and health issues 😂 It also has a little vegan store inside which is handy if you’re out of cheese at home!
Read morePros: All vegan, Naughty goodness, Best doughnuts ever

Good shop for picking up vegan bits and pieces - Edit
I find the junk food a bit bland and not too interesting. The cakes are seriously good though so worth it for that - especially the cheesecakes! The shop is also good for picking up bits n pieces e.g cheeses, sriram based meats etc

a bit meh - Edit
I was really excited to come here, and it does say vegan junk food so i should have probably known what to expect, but the savoury food was very americanised and therefore not quite to my taste, i ordered a quesadilla and added guacamole, when i came it was more like a sloppy wrap. it wasn’t flat and crispy, it was sloppy, oily and squidgy - and the guacamole has been added inside rather than to the side? it was very messy and hard to eat. no distinct mexican flavours, just goo really. my husband ordered the standard burger (i forgot the name) and he didn’t have much to say about it but he said it was nice. i did order a cookie sandwich which was YUMMY (but of the vegan cookie sandwiches [that seem to be trending] i’ve had it sits towards the end) my husband had a chocolate eclair but again said was ok, but the ‘pastry’ part felt like it was just bread? overall the food didn’t make me want to eat there again but they do have wonderful staff, welcome dogs, and a wide variety of stock you can buy in store to take home. i’d day it was fairly busy inside but not so much that we couldn’t find a seat.
Read morePros: variety of options, super junky if you’re into that, lovely staff

Good vegan versions of fast food classics! - Edit
We worked our way through nachos, hell dog (beware- super hot!), burger and doner kebab. Tasty in an unapologetically junk food way. The burger and dog would have been nicer if the buns were toasted. There is also a small but well stocked grocery section.

Okay for Vegan Fast Food - Edit
I feel as though this place is slightly confused with what it actually is... They serve Fast Food Style meals but also sell Cakes & are a shop.
Read moreThe Food was okay (not many Gluten Free Options) shame that they don't do chips!
The Cake that was available on the day was nice but I didn't like the filmy 'butter' icing used & for that reason I didn't finish it.
The place does seem popular though as there was a large queue.
In all honestly wouldn't return again
Pros: it's Vegan
Cons: not sure about the layout / type of vegan place , Food could be better

A must on the Bristol Vegan food list - Edit
I have read about Vx on Happy Cow and was really looking forward to actually go there and try their amazing food. Truth be told, even though I love salads with the healthiest toppings in the world, I will never say no to a fast food place. Especially when it's vegan. And they are open about it as the menu is marked fully vegan - Yay! I went for Vx Burger with cheese (it had a pickle in it, which was fantastic, and came with spicy tortilla chips on side - lovely combination), my partner had a wrap which was massive, we also had two sausage rolls, coffee and Karma Cola to drink and bought Vegan éclair for pudding... Now if this is not vegan heaven, then I don't know what is. Also, they have very well stocked fridges with vegan cheese, milk, meat substitutes, salad dressings (including Blue Cheese Salad dressing that I cannot wait to try) and many more. There is frozen selection as well. Absolutely in love with this place, and they have a store in London as well, which is going to be my next destination.
Read moreP.S. Éclair wasn't the only pudding available. There were cakes and muffins on top of cakes and muffins, you could pick and choose, all properly displayed.
Pros: Fully Vegan Menu, Not expensive, Amazing food
Cons: Why not open more Vx Stores, let's say in Reading?

Go Vego! - Edit
This amazing vegan junk food place is a real find in Bedminster in Bristol. I'm complete addicted to their Vego milkshakes. The burgers even taste like a Big Mac! It's great to have a shop in the store. I was really delighted to see them at Bristol Pride this year and enjoyed two of their delicious wraps. An absolute must.

Great Milkshake Donut - Edit
After one of our Cardiffian vegan posted the mega milkshake with a donut, we decided that we had to go there someday and well yesterday was the day! After sight seeing the beautiful scenic Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol we went over to VX Bristol for Lunch.
Read moreI have been to several restuarants and never tried a milkshake like this one. We ordered the Vego hazel nut mega milkshake with donut, the Supersize beef kabab wrap and the Quasadila. We loved the milkshake with the delicious warm donut on top. We have never had something like that before and I so want to try the special Vanilla one with a donut next time. The Quasadila and wrap however were a bit disappointing and need improvement with taste and presentation. I found the tortillas used to be quite dry and the use of foil unnecessary. I prefer wraps to be sealed and held on its own. I have high expectations from Vegan organisations. I expect the food to be the best.
I am happy to find out that they make use of compostable straws, encourage the use of reusable coffee cups and I have recommended that they consider a foil alternative to be more environmentally friendly.
They do have gluten free wrap option. They have a little shop in store where they sell some vegan groceries like cheese, icecream, frozen items, etc. About 20 people can sit inside with another 10 outside.
Overall I do recommend the place for the amazing desserts and that it is 100% vegan. Be sure to visit them when you are in Bristol.

very dissapointed - Edit
Came to check this place out first impressions were not good. Poorly laid out tables and chairs. Very dark, humid and no real lighting and ventilation so too warm. Although staff did seem friendly and there was a good selection of drinks and snacks. The food itself was not well presented and overpriced. No value for money. I paid 5/5.50 for a box of nachos which looked unappetising with an a tiny scap of what appeared to be lettuce. Been to vrevolution in Manchester and burger lols in Sheffield which were better value for money and looked a lot more appetising and impressive. My partner got burger and a few nachos for about around 5 pound which looked plain and bland didn't come with fries. We've made better at home. Didn't find anything special about this place other than the very cute dogs in there. Wouldn't recommend unless you want to pay over the odds for really bad food.
