Veggie Cafe Mid Wales

I popped into one of my favourite little vegetarian cafes for a light lunch last week.  The Mulberry Bush in Lampeter mid Wales is located above a really good health food shop.  The cafe offers daily specials, there are always plenty of vegan options and the food is wholesome, tasty and very reasonable, with hot dishes and choices of salads and soup.

I had a a spinach and vegetable filo pie which was lightly spiced,  it is what I call comfort food.  It tasted really good.  Paul and I had a piece of cake both vegan.  I had the carrot cake which was really sweet and had a lovely flavour,  Paul had a chocolate torte, which was quite light and tasted again really good.  All washed down with some herbal tea.

If you are in mid Wales this is one of the few vegetarian cafes there is,  but this is a good one too.

It is located just near the centre of Lampeter near Barclays bank.

Great Oak Vegetarian Cafe Wales

Veggie Cafe in Llanidloes Mid Wales

I have to admit I have not been here for a while,  but I like to tell you where the veggie food eateries are, as they are so few and far between.  The Great Oak Vegetarian Cafe is a cute place which seats over 30 guests and serves home cooked style veggie food.  They do plenty of vegan options and cater for special diets including dairy free and wheat free.

They usually have a couple of freshly made specials each day and they do soups, and lovely home made cakes.  Serving good coffee and organic drinks.  They are licensed to serve wine and beers.  Once a month they do a night menu and do themed nights such as a curry night.  It is very reasonable priced and the atmosphere is quite friendly and helpful.

Located in Llanidloes which is between Newtown (Powys) and Llangurig on the A44 in mid wales.  There is plenty of parking in the small town and the cafe is located on the main street.  All vegetarian with vegan options.

I will try to visit over the next couple of weeks and update you with my thoughts on the food and the choice for vegans.

Trek Cocoa Brownie

Wholefood Energy Bar

Not wanting to give a vegan product a bad review I will try to be kind.  It really is not great,  the first thing that hits you is the smell,  it was quite off putting.  The taste is not pleasant, it is sweet but that is about all I can say without being rude.  They call it a cocoa brownie but it only has 4% cocoa.  I am really disappointed with it.  Really not my cup of tea.

I reviewed an Oat Crunch bar made by Trek a little while ago which was really nice, go for that if you can.

Made in Wales. Vegan Raw suitable. Is a good source of protein.  I bought this one in Morrisons supermarket.

Mulberry Bush Veggie Cafe Wales

Mulberry Bush Veggie Cafe

Today I visited the Mulberry Bush for lunch, its an organic veggie cafe which is located above the health food shop, in Lampeter,  Mid Wales.

The Cafe serves hearty simple food.   The prices are very reasonable and there is a good choice for vegans.

I had a Filo Pie Filled with beans, veg and tomato filling, with a coleslaw salad, and potato wedges.
My husband had a nut roast with tomato sauce with a salad and potato wedges.  Nothing fancy about it but it was filling and tasty.

 

For Desert we shared a Vegan Chocolate Tart with biscuit and cherry base with pecan sprinkles on top.  This was the star of the show, it was yummy and went down a treat.

There is a good choice of drinks, they are licensed as well so if you fancy a glass of wine with your meal you can do.

They often organise special evenings with music and food,  I have not been for a long time, but it was quite enjoyable last time I went. The live music seems to work well with the veggie food on offer.

There are not many dedicated veggie places in Wales, so I would certainly recommend this beacon of veggie food.

The health shop below is very good, with a big range of vegan choices to take away as well as the usual health shop produce.

It is located just near the centre of Lampeter near Barclays bank.
