Excellent food, lovely ambiance, friendly service. Six of us had dinner here last night. We shared delicious home made flatbread and hummus, and the pickled vegetables for starters. Three of us had the burgers which everyone loved, another had sausages and beautifully fluffy mash and me and another had the pie with root veg mash which was absolutely top notch - crisp pastry, rich gravy - really tasty. One of our group is a dedicated meat eater and even he thought the burger was excellent, so everyone was happy. Sadly we didn’t have room for dessert as they looked delicious. We would all highly recommend this place whether you’re vegan or not. There’s not a huge menu as the food is all freshly cooked with quality ingredients which is evident. We will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing food! My husband is a vegan, we tried lots of different kinds of vegan food before, this one is definitely the best vegan food we have had. We also can feel all the love from the food

Best avocado on toast I think I've ever had. Fresh with rich flavours. Staff was lovely and the place has a great vibe.

Went to Folkestone for day trip. Friend recommended we visit this place amongst other things. So we turned up on spec and were asked if we had reservation and replied that we didn't and were then asked to wait couple of minutes for a table to be cleaned. Phew, yippee we're going in. And how glad am I that we did? The food in here is exceptional, really really good plant based grub that is tasty and filling. Lovely staff who looked after us well and really nice space to eat. Drinks were great, my partner thought her home made lemonade was as good as she's had and I had a DFL cos I was today. Thanks folks, hope we can get back soon.

Wonderfully creative vegan food, that deserves a Michelin Star There is something quite delightful about not having to ask "is this vegan?"! We're always delighted with flavour profiles, the inventive team come up with. We shared 4 small plates, and only just had enough room for pudding... Which you must not miss! Cosy and intimate, but not stuffy. If you've not been, do it!

Food so tasty! Despite not being a vegetarian, this food is so tasty and full of flavour that it will convince any meat eater that this place is a great option. Thank you to the friendly staff too!

In the heart of Folkestone, this vegan gem offers a delightful brunch experience. With a clever menu overlap between breakfast (10-3) and lunch (12-4), you're spoilt for choice. The pea pancakes were a surprising hit - even for our pea-skeptic child! Paired with yogurt and stewed fruits, it's a flavour combo that works. My nourishing bowl of kale, sauerkraut, tempeh, mushrooms, and rice was a wholesome delight. The relaxed atmosphere and good tunes create a perfect backdrop for people-watching as Folkestone's tourists stroll by. Ample seating options cater to all preferences. A solid spot for vegans and curious foodies alike. Definitely worth a visit when you're in town!
