I don't find very often vegetarian restaurant or cafe places in UK. I was looking for a different one and I saw the this place and i tried the food. Amazing cooked and fresh. The soup was exactly like home and the prices are acceptable. The owner make you to feel like home and is smiling all the time. Is a quite, rustic place and you can enjoy a good healthy food.

Went there yesterday with a friend and absolutely loved it! Everything was fresh and prepared with care and love. The chickpea curry my friend had came with sweet potato bread that's to die for, and my little salad for only 2£ came with herbs, peeled (!) peppers, fennel, and Calamata olives. The sweet potato and feta pie was seasoned well and came with a lovely little decoration. We will definitely be back. It's great to eat at a place where people genuinely enjoy what they do. Very friendly too! And even the free water came with cucumber and mint!

Tucked away on upper Cowley Road but a great little Deli. Had their veg soup 🫕 and a beetroot cake 🎂 today, which were both delicious. 😋 HOWEVER their Pumpkin seeds butter (pictured) didn't hit the spot for me - green goop that tasted way, way too much like pumpkin. 🎃 Lady was super helpful and they had some interesting items - Cocoa powder (a guilty pleasure for us vegans 🍫), Apple Cider Vinegar 🍎, Coffee grounds ☕, pies 🥧, and a wide range of vegan dishes they made. 🍽 She even held the door and recommended a place that did lettuce down the road. 🥬 Oh, and they are open during lockdown, which is good. One of those places that grows on you. When I wasn't vegan, I didn't *get* it (though I note they now do Steak & Kidney pie and other meat dishes). Now I'm vegan: I totally get it as the flavours and variety are in fluent Vegan (yet suitable for all).

Highly rate this beautiful cafe/shop with incredible selection of teas which are all tea leafs and not plastic packaged!! Vegan chocolates, and the three filo pastry dish was incredible!! Cups were also compostable which was great and really lovely customer service as well. They had some peanut butter and some greek produces on the side to buy as well which was great. Highly recommend and would love to come back again :)
