Genuinely lovely owners and a great place for a quick plant based snack on your lunch break or just when you pop into town. Where this place shines is in the nature of the shop itself. I encourage you to go in a have a look at how you can refill your cupboards at home, from dried foods to shampoo, bring your own container for truly zero waste. Re-use, recycle, with a pump or a scoop!

Beautiful quiet little shop we arrived at from London after a struggle of a journey due to train strikes. Truly a gem! Reasonably priced excellent coffee, delicious moist vegan cakes unlike many I've tried before, and lots of zero waste products that are well-priced. Very polite service! If only this was my local cafe.

We had very good vegan Falafel Wraps and an avocado sandwich. The flat white with oat was also very well done. The cakes and the fudge were just right in terms of sugar and baking. Both service and other customers were very nice!

Really lovely down to earth shop and cafe in Guildford. All plastic free and ethically sourced. We loved the toasties and granola. They have a wide range of teas and coffees all sourced from small businesses. Not part of a big chain and so well worth supporting. Will definitely come back.

One of my favourite places in Guildford! An integral part of my weekend . . . a stroll into town, with great coffee and delicious cake while I stock up on essentials without the packaging! A really welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for everyone, with fantastic events to attend throughout each month too!

Quirky shop. Love that you an sit and have amazing coffee and nerve some not sooo sweet cakes and shop food, snacks, kitchen and household items in refillable container. Definitely worth a visit and not expensive at all! Got myself some dried fruit and nuts and a beautiful 250ml refilled bottle of olive oil!

Visited this place for some lunch, quirky decor and very friendly people. I chose a sandwich that wasn’t on the menu and they were more than happy to make something for me. Great food, great coffee and great service, couldn’t ask for much more. This is also a great concept of a shop, to have refills for every day items and also make it a coffee and food outlet. Will absolutely return when next in area.
