The Green Room, Cafe & Bistro

We've just moved to the area and as this place is only a 10 minute walk from our home, we opted to try it. There are items that are clearly marked as being vegan on the menu, so I assumed they understood what "vegan" actually means! I just wanted a simple avocado on sourdough toast without any butter or vegan butter substitutes. The lady taking the order seemed confused when I placed the order and when I told her I was vegan and allergic to dairy she offered me gluten free bread which has nothing to do with veganism and most gluten free bread is not even vegan friendly. 10 minutes after placing the order, another lady came over to the table and tried to serve me a plate of toast with avo and a massive pile of POACHED EGGS! My husband had a falafel wrap as he is also vegan which he said was just ok, but nothing special. They remade the food for me, but I did not eat it as I was completely put off after being served eggs after stating to the staff that I was vegan. I wouldn't trust the kitchen staff not to cross contaminate my food, so there's no chance either of us will be returning. The staff seemed friendly enough, but they need to have more of an understanding of different dietary choices, ingredients used in their kitchen and allergies.

I have walked past this place many times without going in and it always has plenty of people. Went with friends for a weekday brunch. Nice, friendly staff. No problem ordering gluten free. Will definitely be going again.
