"My partner and I visited at the end of October for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. We had burgers, the 'celebration of apple, ' and pumpkin pie (which I believe is not a usual menu item but was special for autumn/October/Halloween). Everything was fantastic, honestly. Additionally, the staff were extremely friendly and patient! We arrived about 45 minutes earlier than our booked time, because we were in town for just one day and it was too cold to keep walking around outside. We expected to be asked to wait, but they went ahead and set up the table for us, telling us that it just would be a while before we 'd be able to order due to a nearly full house. I have only two possible downsides. (1) if you don 't like a 'meaty ' veggie burger, the burgers may not be for you (I wouldn 't order it again, though it was still good), (2) they would benefit from having a selection of mocktails! I believe they have low alcohol beer but no totally alcohol free cocktails (or other mock alcohols), which surprised us because it seemed like a place that would do them. There are plenty of nonalcoholic drink options, but having a mushroom tea or a milkshake is a different vibe from having a fruity martini! One of us cannot have alcohol, and we were celebrating, so it would have been nice to have a drink together. Overall, I completely recommend it to any vegan, vegetarian, normative omnivore, etc anyone looking for some good food in a good atmosphere. Also, best pumpkin pie I have EVER had. And I 'm American by birth I 've eaten a lot of pumpkin pie."

"everything i order usually is amazing. the majority of the staff are lovely apart from one member — i’m not too sure if he’s the manager? there’s been multiple instances where he’s been nothing but unwelcoming and quite rude to me and those i’ve been with. there was one instance in which me and a friend came into the shop to order our food to which the said member of staff asked if we wanted a menu; when we politely declined and said we know what we’re having, he gave us both incredibly dirty looks and became almost standoffish — he also just proceeded to not go about whatever he was doing, stood in front of us so we couldn’t reach the counter to order, and just stared at us until we said we’re going to sit outside? to which he just said ‘umm okay?’ despite the sign outside asking for people to come in and say hi before sitting outside. in another instance we went into the shop to inquire if it was okay if we sat outside, the same member of staff quickly brushed us off as if we were inconveniencing him in some way and simply told us to go sit outside and he’ll come take our order. we sat outside for about 30 minutes and not once did anyone let alone the member of staff come to take our order — so we just left. there’s been so many instances in which i’ve been sitting outside and every single time he side eyes me whilst going in and out of the shop. i’m not too sure if he’s just like this or if he seriously has something against me — regardless he makes the environment very very uncomfortable and i now avoid going to the shop at all."
