At first glance, the cafe is really lovely and unique, with pretty pictures, lots of plants and a very pleasing overall aesthetic, which made the experience extra nice.
The service was amazing, the ladies who served me and my family were so kind, patient, vibrant, and accommodating. They were super quick to attend to us and made us feel super welcoming. When it came to ordering, they were super patient and understanding when they had to cater to some of our dietary requirements (being that some of us can’t have gluten or dairy), the variety of options available for people who are gluten free, dairy free, and/or vegan was great, as the majority of the menu had those options available. With that, they made it clear what we could and could not have considering those dietary requirements which we really appreciated since not all places we have gone to have clearly communicated that. When ordering they even went as far to let us know that the meal we were ordering was quite large and therefore suggested the smaller side dish than the one we chose, which was greatly appreciated when we eventually got our meals and realised we definitely wouldn’t have been able to finish everything had we gone with the bigger side.
In terms of the food, it looked, smelt, and most importantly, tasted, incredible! We got the Vegan Nachos (which were also gluten free) with a side of Vegan Apple Slaw (like a coleslaw with apple) which we ended up adding to the nachos for an even better flavour. The vegan beef made from soy had a really nice texture and flavour, I didn’t even realise it wasn’t real beef until I was half finished, the mixture of beans, corn chips, guac etc. was perfect, and was a real delight to eat.
Along with the overall taste of the whole meal, one thing I particularly loved was the vegan cheese that went with the nachos. While I’m not vegan, I am dairy free, so I have had various vegan cheeses, and unfortunately a lot of them are really unpleasant, because they often are way too strong, don’t melt or crisp like real cheese and sometimes straight up don’t even taste like real cheese. However the vegan cheese we had at this cafe was soooo good. It wasn’t too strong, it melted perfectly and crisped, it didn’t smell gross and it tasted just as good as real cheese. We actually liked it so much we asked one of the staff what kind of cheese it was, and lucky for us, they not only told us, but also informed us that they actually sell it too. So we of course bought some.
Additionally, other people in my family had ordered a side of fries, which I tried, and I can say they too were super delicious. Light, crispy and flavoursome.
Lastly, I had a drink before my meal, an almond milk chai latte (which doesn’t really seem to go with nachos now I think about it, but I got it anyway). This was also amazing. Super smooth, great flavour, smelt just as amazing as it tasted, and as a nice little bonus, it came in a really cute cup.
Overall, I can say that my family and I truly loved everything about this cafe, and will 100% visit again.
Thank you, Two-Bit Villains😊
