Reviews For Plantarium Cafe

An absolute gem of a find. Fantastic vegan food, lots of choices, quickly served, very reasonable price. We only stayed in Stratford for two days and having eaten here on the first day we came back on the second. If we lived nearer we would be eating here at least weekly. It looks tiny from the outside and you might think they're full inside but there's more seating upstairs. We had the shawarma crunch, trip to Mexico, tofu bbq burrito and I don't give a schnitzel. All delicious. And on both days we had the orange hot chocolate which was divine. Other sites list Plantarium as vegetarian, but all the food is vegan. Maybe it's their offering dairy milk as an alternative to all the plant milks they have that got them the veggie label rather than vegan. It was nice to see the 30p surcharge on the dairy milk instead of the plant milks for a change :) Highly recommended. Edit: it's a good indication of how much we like this little restaurant that we decided to return to Stratford Upon Avon in Oct 2024 purely to eat there again. For us it's a 160 mile journey each way. We stayed for 3 days and ate lunch there every day, enjoying the same meals as before but also trying some equally delicious new ones, such as the "cheese omelette". I don't doubt we'll go back in 2025.

We popped in for brunch and enjoyed our visit. The vegan fried eggs were very good. The charcoal bread cheese and onion toastie was nice, not amazing. Cakes looked good but we didn't get to those, next time!

Amazing vegan food and cakes. A little in the pricey side but definitely worth it! A real gem hidden away.

I came here for lunch with my 7 year-old daughter. We absolutely loved it! The food was extraordinary, lots of different dishes to choose from and very particular. The portions were big.

It was very busy so no availability to sit we were happy to get coffees and cake to take away a lovely place all of the staff are incredibly friendly. Would love to return when less busy to sample to food menu.

We were driving from Birmingham to London. Going here was a 1 hour detour, so I wasn't pleased - but my wife insisted... ...Boy am I glad I did: the place was full (you can't book) with happy diners enjoying the most amazingly clever, inventive and delicious vegan food I've ever come across in a cafe... It's not cheap, but it is excellent value... If your a vegan, you'll understand the joke on their drinks menu!
