This place is a real gem. Conveniently located just off the High Street but tucked away so doesn't get crowded. Really tasty food, served by very friendly staff. I highly recommend the Cajun chicken melt baguettes. The burritos are massive and very good value. They often have vegan cakes which look amazing. Love the "pay it forward" concept for helping out those in need too.

Really nice little place to grab a bite on the go, or seating available inside - they can also provide gluten free versions of their sandwiches! I will be back....

Had a lovely vegan pulled jackfruit burrito on Monday. Followed by a massive wedge of vegan mint choc cake. Nowhere else in Newbury provides this kind of vegan food. So impressed! Both the food and the staff are lovely. Great choices for everyone... meat eaters, veggies and vegans alike :)
