Blondes in East Riding of Yorkshire

Tasty food and brilliant service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always a warm welcome. 💕 Fab choices to take home. Cakes, pastries, cheeses, candles, chocolates… They have vegan egg 🍳 And it’s amazing fried! Had it in a breakfast bap and husband added a burger to his AND an egg. 😂 Daughter had one of the pasties and a unicorn 🦄 hot chocolate… PINK hot chocolate! You’ve got to try the egg if you’re vegan. No hens harmed to make them! 👏👏

Always enjoy our visits to blondes since our first one many years ago. They are a fully cruelty free establishment and passionate about animal rights. ❤️🐄🐑🐖🐟🐇🐓 True kindred spirits! 😇 They don’t just say they love animals… they really do! 🙌🙌 The food is fab, the cakes are divine and the range of products available to take home is huge considering the size of the cafe. ✔️✔️✔️ They do take outs too and will cater for events. The honey blonde coffee is one of my firm favourite hot drinks ever. Can’t wait for our next visit! We’re going to pick up our Boxing Day hamper we pre ordered. 😋😋😋 You don’t have to be vegan to eat here (many of their customers aren’t) but if you are you will love it. ❤️❤️🌱🌱🌱 Be prepared to wait for a table at busy times of buy food to go. They will do their very best to fit you in. Open Wednesday to Sunday 10-3 but check their Facebook page to be sure.

Oh my goodness! They never disappoint! Bought 3 pasties, 3 sandwiches (1 tofu mayo and 2 tikka) and they were so so tasty! The tikka was this isn’t chicken pieces in a tikka sauce folded into a flat bread and soo soo yummy! I also purchased a piece of biscoff cheescake with was gorgeous and 2 different cupcakes 😍 Amazing staff and owners with fantastic core values. I love that their new mummy meegz product is not only slavery free but in compostable packaging too! How amazing is that?

Lovely as always! Staff welcoming and with other local customers it always has a friendly community vibe. Would recommend!

I started going to Blondes years ago when they still offered vegetarian options and it was good then but my goodness they've gotten even better since then and the fact they're 100% vegan makes them even more amazing. The hot food is amazing, the shakes are fantastic and so delicious but the desserts are out of this world! I cannot put into words how exquisite the Biscoff brownie is. If I'm ever within an hour's drive of Blondes I have to go and visit. Plus dogs are welcome! You can also buy some lovely household cleaning stuff in bulk, there's a vegan pick n mix and vegan ingredients to make yummy stuff at home. I can't recommend Blondes enough!

What a wonderful cafe...takeaway only at the minute. Absolutely delicious vegan food. We were out for a walk on Saturday and popped in for a couple of snacks. We were spoilt for choice, lots of great looking options for non meat eaters, although I'm sure everyone would love the food here. We picked a "scotch egg" and a pumpkin seed pie, some drinks and a cake. Made for a lovely picnic. We were so impressed that we went for a takeaway breakfast the very next morning which was equally delicious... Cottingham is lucky to have such a gorgeous place...

Brilliant sandwich selection! Pastries, cake and more! The loaded nachos are awesome. Great place to stop off en route to the seaside and pick up some food. The staff are lovely and always smiling. We had meatball subs, cheese savoury and egg mayo sarnies. Scotch eggs, pumpkin pie (oh my!!!) which was delicious!!!! And blueberry bakewell plus fruity flapjack. All was consumed but the pumpkin pie was my favourite thing! I hope they have it next time we visit! They now have a lovely selection of candles, chutneys and a really good stock of vegan staples. ✔️✔️✔️

Absolutely my favourite cafe! They’ve got such a good range of products on offer at the minute. Hot and cold food, desserts, milkshakes, pastries, cake, fizzy drinks, and loads of stuff in the chiller for you to stock up on. The staff are so lovely and the food is delicious! Try the bacon panini ... it’s beautiful. And the loaded nachos are gorgeous too. Home of the famous mummy meagz and mummy meagz rocky road. Can’t wait for our next trip!

First off I’m not a vegan In fact in a party of 7 only one is We all enjoyed the food ( including a pair of 8&9 olds) The only small complaint it was very busy so food took a while to arrive But that just shows how popular it is Nice atmosphere friendly staff. Try it

We would return again. We've been a few years ago with our dog which was nice but we stopped visiting due to our personal reasons with the dog. Visited this time more to try the vegan food. The cheeseburger was amazing, you cant tell that its vegan! The menu is great...just like a normal menu. Had a hot chocolate with coconut milk which was very nice. Cafe was clean and tidy just small and not much room. Friendly staff!

Visited last Thursday with a vegan friend who had never been before. She was totally amazed with the food choice and generous portions. Really tasty food. Did not have any room for sweets, so took plenty away to have later..... delicious!!!!!! Friendly staff and great atmosphere - a great place to stop for food. The town is fun with plenty to see.

Never disappointed with this amazing place. Run by compassionate lovely people who love theirs jobs. Please support your local small business when there is one and boycott that tax dodging coffee chain across the road 😉🙏 The special coffees and puddings are awesome and if you’re vegan you are bound to run into a friend or 2! YOU DON’T NEED TO BE VEGAN TO EAT HERE. The food is amazing! My recommendations are anything sweet; the honey blonde coffee and the all day breakfast. Especially good if you’re ravenous after a night out on the town.

Just been to Blonde’s in Cottingham and it was excellent. Free parking in Cottingham for 2hrs just 5 mins up the road (opposite Barclay’s) and this vegan cafe is a hidden delight. The last menu was comprehensive for a cafe offering breakfast, lunch and cakes! The latte’s were divine with choices of oat, coconut, almond or soya. I had hot dog with pulled pork and Lucas had burritos with pulled pork... both came with salad. Everything in the restaurant vegan including the items for sale (chai powder, sausages, salami slices) and the cleaning products. Dogs welcome. Will be back soon.

I have never been vegan myself but when i went here i tried the food and it was amazing not a single thing wrong with the place

In the coffee shop it was quite cramped, the atmosphere was a bit dead and the only thing more lifeless than the drinks was the person serving it, it was very expensive and the only good drinks there were the branded bottled drinks!

Visited for a drink & brownie with our dog. Wonderful cafe, dog friendly, staff very friendly, partner enjoyed the latte, decor was relaxed, atmosphere relaxed. Would definitely would recommend particularly if you have a dog.

my boyfriend has no hands but he enjoyed his burger he said it was delicious and he would go again if he could find it because hes blind

Myself (a vegan) visited with two meat-eaters. We were all extremely satisfied with our breakfasts and the breakfast bagels were excellent. What set this apart was the vegan ‘omelette’ - I’ve never seen this before. It was delicious. I look forward to trying the other breakfast options when I’m next around.

Just had the best bacon toastie all vegan and honestly can not tell the difference incredibly friendly staff highly recommend this place!!!

This is an inspiring place. My wife and I visited after it was recommended to us. Who would have ever thought vegan drinks and confectionary could taste so good? Its serving goodness on a table without the cost to animals or the planet. In case your in any doubt, we didn't get lectured or preached to either. Our dog was allowed in and made a fuss of, they even do vegan cup-cakes for your dog! Nice people, serving nice ethical food whilst being nice to pets and farm animals. Its an all round winner, but don't take my word for it .... go and see for yourself.

Visited this popular and friendly place today for my daughter's 30th birthday lunch. The food was plentiful and very tasty. Gluten free options available too.

A lovely little place for people and dogs. Not many places like this allow dogs, so bonus points for that. The food lovingly made (you just can beat a homemade cheesecake). The staff are also very friendly.

We are regulars of this wonderful cafe since discovering it a few years ago after tasting their amazing rocky road at a veg fest in Lincoln. As well as being gorgeous, the staff are lovely people. Their food is a feast on the eyes not just the belly! Their desserts are to die for and now they are hosting regular pot lucks for vegans to socialise! They are also dog friendly and the home of mummy meagz rocky road. Check them out if you’re in the area, they have some fab coffees like the honey blonde which is almost a meal in itself! Vegan freak shakes too!

Visited here today with family to treat my mum for Mother’s Day. Booked in advance after seeing it advertised, my mum is vegan so she wanted to try it.

Discovered this little cafe by chance! Coffees are amazing, they have a wide range of gluten free options and staff are super friendly! It is now my favourite spot it Cott!

Popped in for a bite to eat, other half had his favourite big breakfast (massive) and I chose the cheese and bacon sub which came with a little fresh salad and crisps. Tasty as ever and friendly service, what more can you ask. I also indulged with a rocky road milkshake, probably about a million calories but hey ho, it was gorgeous and of course no animals harmed...win win. We will return when next in the area.

Heard a lot about this place and wanted to visit although not vegan and it did not disappoint.Went Friday lunchtime with my daughters , one of which is a vegetarian.loads of quirky furniture and interesting bits and pieces. Plenty of choice and arrived at just right time. I tried the pink latte which was amazing and the pulled pork burrito which again was lovely. Lovely friendly atmosphere and fab service. Would highly recommend a visit, vegan or not

Came here this morning with my grandparents, auntie and dog and it was brilliant! Food and drinks were AMAZING and the staff were so helpful in getting my grandad in with his wheelchair as it is a bit tight. On top of all that dogs are allowed!! Anytime I’m back in the area I’m definitely coming back!

Haven't visited in a while and it didn't dissapoint!, lovely coffee & hot chocolate and sandwiches where yummy aswell as the rocky road and cheese cake we took home! Will be back soon!!

A warm welcome, great surroundings and delicious plant based food awaits! A vegan dream but you certainly don’t need to be vegan to eat here!

Blondes is a vegan cafe that is also dog friendly. Non vegans welcome but u must eat vegan food. It opened my eyes as to how lovely vegan food can taste and look ! Lovely friendly atmosphere. Small premises. Take away available as well as separate vegan raw ingredients for vegan cooking at home -out of the self service fridge.

Really nice place everyone is so helpful and friendly and there are lots of choices! Love the fact it’s all vegan and the food is great!

Lovely vegan cafe. Almond milk cappuccino delicious. All their packaging for take away food is ethical too. #wegiveashit

first time we have visited this lovely gem of a cafe. Great tasting food with generous portions. Service was friendly and quick. Also bought some treats to take home which were delicious too. Friendly and bright atmosphere, we will definitely be back.

My takeaway lunch was well packaged, hot and delicious! Blondes is my new favourite place since (attempting) to go vegan. Great menu, friendly staff and a warm welcome every visit. Being dog friendly is a bonus too for my dog owning friends!

This is an amazing place to visit. There are so many food and drink options and everything is vegan. The range of cakes is amazing and everything looks really nice too! The staff are lovely and welcoming and surprisingly for a vegan restaurant the portion sizes are really generous too and it’s good value for money as well.

Amazing food, staff are happiness itself! Will be back for sure well worth coming from Bridlington! The cakes look amazing!

What a gem of a place that I will certainly be visiting again .very friendly atmosphere staff were very informative and helpful. Lots of choice opted for the day special chick pea korma rice poppadums and mango chutney it was lush and plentiful. Lots of pastries and desserts on offer sadly I was full from lunch.

I sometimes go into Blonds for a coffee. This cafe is aimed at the vegan market. although i am not vegan the coffee and cakes are very nice. The staff are friendly. There is a welcoming feel from the moment you enter. This place is also dog friendly. Blonds is worth a visit.

On a brief and hasty visit to Cottingham, my daughter and I fancied a coffee and cake and gave Blondes a try. The café is quirky, comfortable and quite atmospheric, the service was excellent and there was a good choice of things to eat. As we entered it became obvious that this establishment welcomed dogs but I hadn’t realised that it served only vegan food and my daughter who had realised, did not inform me. I enjoyed the coffee which came in generous sized cups although the “milk” seemed rather odd. My daughter had banoffee cake but disliked the “cream” and found the cake quite heavy. I chose a rocky road which tasted fine although I found it very thickly textured and rather “pappy” in the mouth. I couldn’t understand why it was not light and airy. I took my wife, a retire Home Economics teacher, a brownie as a treat. She found it was heavy-going and thickly textured too. She thought it was perhaps a vegan alternative. The cat was out of the bag and I was stupid not to have realised this fact earlier. Totally my own fault! I suspect however it is a smashing and delightful establishment for vegetarians and dog-lovers and it clearly does provide a popular much-needed service.Such people would willingly give it a rating of five. I really wish it well in the future However, for a non-vegan like myself, it simply does not stack up and is best avoided for the reasons I have given. Clearly a great place for vegans but…..

At last an all vegan cafe / restaurant that really cares about food, we no longer have to put up with “ pub dried falafel sandwiches “ or the standard mushroom risotto, Blondes is owned/ managed by Willow Boyle and family and Mummy Meags is the creator of the soon to be world famous Vegan Rocky Road bars , this really is worth a visit and you don’t have to be vegan to appreciate good food .

Been here a few times now. Really lovely for my daughter who is vegan. Fantastic menu, friendly staff and atmosphere, always get something to take out as well. Good fridge of vegan supplies too.

Having been here before and loved it (also written a previous 5*review) we were sadly disappointed. The menu had changed since id last been but there was other nice things on offer. I ordered a chicken burger which was pouring melted cheese from it, it looked lovely but sadly was just a mushy sickly cheesy mess whih i left after 4 bites. My husband had a cheese and been toasty which was ok. I really felt the price was expensive for what we got. I didnt complain or mention my burger as it may have just been my taste and others may like it that way. Just so underwhelmed after my last visit. We had travelled 50 miles to come back. I dont think i will be back again unfortunately

Lovely little tea room very nice coffee my daughter is a veggie so she had plenty to choose from as they did cater for veggie

For the past three years while our daughter has been studying at Hull Uni we have frequented Blondes on each occasion. Their choice of gluten free options is excellent, together with their luxury drink options. The recently opened upstairs area is a fantastic addition. Staff always very welcoming. I wish they had a branch in Newcastle!

I've been coming to Blondes for a while now and their menu is excellent whether it's sweet or savoury.

Another lovely visit to this friendly and cruelty free cafe! Popped over for cottingham day and enjoyed huge toasted subs. Fish finger and mushy peas and the onion Bhaji and mango chutney. Stuffed! Bit of room for pudding though! If you’ve not tried it you must try the rocky road!

Visited the much talked about vegan café the concept is great coffee fabulous very let down and disappointed with the poor quality salad ( even though was in date it was brown and inedible) had hoped for fresh or even living salad to be used not bagged ...staff was really friendly and apologitic... just not quite what we had expected

Wow!... what a fab place... I had my son (18 months) with me, so needed somewhere to put the pram and get a high chair, which was not a problem the staff were very friendly and accommodating to my needs, the food & drink was spot on, service with a smile .... will deffo be returning!

Decided to patronise an independently-run business. Unfortunately I won't be going back. The coffee was £2.70 for an average-sized cup( would expect to pay that sort of price nowadays) but the taste was awful. Reminded me of Coffee-mate, very synthetic flavour which overpowered the coffee.

A lovely friendly welcome awaits at blondes. Beautiful compassionate people. who are incredibly good at what they do! The food is amazing! Their rocky road is best I've ever had and the vegan fish and chips absolutely delicious! They don't sell it all the time but have special events when they do. All their food is gorgeous though. They also sell vegan food like vegan cheese, pasties and pies and drinks and cakes to take home. Even vegan marshmallows! They are a stockist for harper's candles (vegan society approved). Lovely people, amazing food. You don't need to be vegan or veggie to enjoy it! Go on you may surprise yourself!

First time I have been but I’ll stick with Costa, very weak coffee which I had to leave in the end. I aren’t sure how many shops were in it. The food did look very nice though.

Sat in the new upstairs room for lunch, lovely. excellent lunch served with a smile. The choice of vegan cupcakes and sweet treats is also amazing. Love this place. Willow and the team all work so hard to make this a first choice for all- not just vegans!

Stopped in for some tea/coffee and cake before venturing into our day. Interesting selection of cards and trinkets on sale. Varied options of vegan cake, however our choices were not the most tasty.

I spent 4 hours here with a friend while we waited for a few dogs to be neutered at a vets nearby. We stuffed ourselves silly with the amazing food, honestly we couldn't eat any more. The huge shakes are to die for.

We like to use Blondes when in the area, good coffee, good service, nice cakes and snacks. only small and does get busy so they must be doing something right.

When you think blondes couldn't get any better they are now fully vegan, have three food fridges full of all your favourites and the cakes, buns, brownies, burgers, bacon, cheese, milkshakes (and freakshakes) are now bigger and taste amazing freakshakes are in the pictures as well as the 1/4 burger plain as I asked for no salad, gurkins or coleslaw.

This is a totally vegan coffee shop which offers a great choice of teas, fantastic espresso and great savoury and sweet food, all homemade and delicious. There is a large selection of gifts, cards and food available to purchase at a very reasonable cost. The...

Lovely cafe with friendly staff.

As a family we totally love blondes. I’m the only vegan and my kids and husband love eating here. Their menu is extensive when you think about the size of space the staff have to work with. There isn’t very much seating and yes they could do with a bigger venue, but it is what it is and I think it’s perfect. It’s also all the better now it’s 100% vegan.

Took a 2 hour round trip to visit this place, and it was well worth it! Extremely courteous service, brilliant staff and gorgeous menus etc. Everything is vegan, and all staff are vegan too. Had an overly excellent meal there, filled me up easily, and the atmosphere is so lovely and genuine. It's a billion miles away from chain cafes and corporate hospitality. Everyone there makes you feel welcome and at home!

A great little place with a fab selection of vegetarian and vegan food and drinks. A lovely atmosphere with a personal, friendly service!

Been here a few times. The hot chocolates are always impressive but always seem Luke warm sadly. There's not much space so we've not been recently as getting in with a pram is tricky

Absolutely loved this place, went for afternoon grub and could have ate it twice.

Blondes is small but perfectly formed!

Popped in with my better half and what might as well be our child (dog) Well what can i/we say.. loved it! Even Charlie with his ice cream!

This was our first visit to Blondes after hearing about its reputation from a friend. What a lovely place. We enjoyed the vegeburger, followed by the Rocky Road and Apple Turnover. You are spoilt for choice and ended up getting a takeaway to try more of the desserts at home! :)

My first venture into a vegan restaurant with my vegan daughter. The food was excellent, as was the service. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is vegan or anyone looking for a different dining experience.

This is, and always has been, a lovely family run cafe! Just recently it has started to sell lots of vegan food and also many gluten free items. Whether you buy vegan, gluten free or "normal" food you will not be disappointed. It's all delicious and mainly home made.Blondes is also a dog friendly establishment, which is very useful for pet owners. They also raise lots of money for animals, and has helped with the rescue of many dogs.

Great little cafe in Cottingham. Specialises in vegan food but it's delicious even if you aren't vegan. Good range of drinks. Brilliant staff. And best of all it's dog friendly. Xx

2nd visit to Blondes - having previously enjoyed a really excellent veggie fish finger sandwich, this time I tried the cakes. One word - yum! The Oreo Brownie and the White Chocolate Fudge slice were both amazing, genuinely. Great selection of sweet treats (The Oreo Cheesecake has my name on it next time!) and savoury goodies. The milk/freakshakes also look really good. Not to mention the different types of teas and herbal blends.Inside is a little tight for space meaning it can become busy and feel quite bustling even when not a peak time. This vibrant atmosphere is only enhanced by the array of animal themed gifts and cards, hanging paper mushrooms, fairy doors, flowers, posters, signs and pretty bits and bobs that adorn the walls and ceiling. Blondes wears its (big) heart on its sleeve and it's incredibly endearing. The staff are smiley, helpful and speedy. Oh and it is also dog friendly - what more could you want?!Even if you're not vegetarian/vegan you should consider patronising this place over other corporate establishments nearby because, lets be real, who needs free wifi when the cake this good?!

This is one of my very favourite places to eat. The food is delicious and my kids are in love with the vegan cakes on offer. Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere. Love it!

A lovely friendly welcome awaits at blondes. Beautiful compassionate people who are incredibly good at what they do! The food is amazing! Their rocky road is best I've ever had and the vegan fish and chips absolutely delicious! They don't sell it all the time but have special events when they do. All their food is gorgeous though. They also sell vegan food like Gary, pasties and pies and drinks and cakes to take home. Even vegan marshmallows! They are a stockist for harper's candles (vegan society approved I believe). Lovely people, amazing food. You don't need to be vegan or veggie to enjoy it! Go on you may surprise yourself!

I heard about this place from a friend and took the opportunity to pop in after a work meeting in the area. I was all alone but the atmosphere was friendly so I didn't feel at all uncomfortable. I eat only plant based foods and it was amazing to be able to choose absolutely anything on the menu - really liberating. The most liberating thing was knowing 100% that they understood and accepted me and that I didn't have to have an uncomfortable chat about my choices and do the donkey work in suggesting the necessary menu adjustments to accommodate. Everything on the menu can be served vegan. I chose a panini which tasted great and was presented nicely with salad, coleslaw and tortilla chips. I also bought a couple of slices of cake to take home.The cafe has a really chilled vibe about it and as I don't live too far away I'll definitely be going back. We need more places like this.

Visited here for the first time as a reward for finishing an assignment, we went for the Freak Shakes which we had seen on Instagram and Facebook etc. They honestly didn't disappoint! Everything on the menu is available as a vegan option so we tried a Vegan vanilla freak shake (One is more than enough for two people), covered in cake, brownies, biscuits, sweets, popcorn and cream. This was amazing and to say it was totally dairy free is even better. The food was just as good, I would definitely recommend the Mozzarella, ham and tomato panini (vegan option) and also the Bacon and cheese panini (also vegan). Great atmosphere, staff were lovely and friendly. Even gave us tips on which cheese to buy at the supermarket as we enjoyed it so much.

I went to this little cafe with friends spontaneously as it's quite hard to find a decent veggie meal elsewhere, I absolutely love it and it was so welcoming inside, I can't wait to come again, the only bad thing was the cafe is small and very overpacked so had to wait around for a bit for a seat but why wouldn't it be packed, it's great!

Blondes is a lovely little cafe with retail space situated in cottingham. Small premises which are inviting and welcoming. Dog freindly too. Vegetarian/vegan menu but doesnt seem limiting at all. Some wonderful tasty dishes- u dont have to be a veggie to enjoy!! Lovely friendly owner/staff.

This was a real treat when I was staying in hull . Was surprised by there awesome menu and choices there cakes were amazing and so was the veggie chilli . I thought it was bit cramped down stairs . Especially when there was quite a few dogs there . My dog loved it and loved the dog ice cream . I would really recommend it .

This was our second visit and we were very happy indeed. The most beautiful vegan fish (deep fried beer battered tofu) that melted in your mouth, the most crispy yet fluffy chips ever, beautiful comforting mushy peas and a light and fluffy bread bun to accompany it. I just wish we lived closer as I'd be there very week/day! Bought some yummy desserts to bring home. I love blondes rocky road, and you get decent portions too! Such lovely staff and the owners are amazing compassionate people obviously work hard. We had lovely full tummys when we left. Their vegan noms are proof you don't need animal products to enjoy good food.

I Have been frequenting Blondes since I went to school in cottingham and I still go for coffee with my friends now! It really is an amazing coffee shop with so much charm. Inspirational cakes are always on display and all vegan!! This is a vegans paradise, so much choice, fantastic service and a lovely atmosphere if I feel like a coffee this is the first place that pops into my head. HIGHLY recommend a visit. Hope this place never changes its amazing :)

Our favourite cafe in Hull/Cottingham, we go at least once a week. Always feel welcome with really friendly service! The food is incredible, personal favourite being the mint choc chip milkshake and veggie meatball panni! Definitely recommend for anyone.

I have been visiting this fantastic establishment for many months and have tried pretty much everything on the menu, including paninis, burgers, cakes and pasties. The food is outstanding, regardless of any dietary preferences so it's suitable for anyone who enjoys good food and a friendly environment. Generally, I don't have a sweet tooth but the cakes here are so amazing that I usually leave with at least one or two extra. I defy anyone to find better homemade cupcakes, rocky road, lemon meringue pie, etc anywhere else.Aside from the excellent and delicious sweet and savoury treats, the staff are extremely pleasant, friendly and helpful and go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your visit. They're also dog friendly, which is a huge bonus for many animal loving people. The place is extremely clean and all the dogs I've met at Blondes have been very well behaved. Most importantly, it has a great atmosphere. Highly recommended and my favourite place to visit for breakfast, lunch or takeaway. If I could give 10 stars, I would! =D

Nice food, excellent range of coffees and teas, and friendly staff. I had a vegan breakfast burrito and my fiancé had a veggie burger, and we shared a slice of vegan cheesecake afterwards. The cake was incredible! Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys meat-free dining, or anyone looking to try something new.

Always visit here when seeing our daughter at Hull Uni. Friendly, relaxed & offers a good choice of gluten free options.

A warm welcome awaits and a really tasty latte to boot.OK OK it's compact and bicheux but it's locally owned & INDEPENDENT and that is what counts.it's oozing with character . Not like THOSE large generic chain coffee houses ! Food is absolutely gorgeous not wrapped in plastic bags & preservatives for posterity. Staff are always friendly. Go on ,give it a try & you certainly won't be disappointed. John n Val

Great choice for any vegan out there. I had the nachos and freak shake which we're both excellent and very tasty.

Love this local vegan cafe, being the only one in the area makes it a highlight. There's lots of options and all reasonably priced. Staff are super friendly and more than happy to help. Highly recommend to even meat eaters, lovely little place

Freezing cold and raining, early morning, entered the cafe to find a warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Food and drinks served rapidly but there the rush ended - you can take your time and relax. Lovely scones served with a generous portion of jam. Dog friendly - I had taken my dog and there were two other dogs in the cafe and no issues with any of them. The assistants were friendly and helpful. Well recommended.

This place is shocking. Sat down to have a coffee a guy with two dogs came in his dogs went for a dog that was already in there, the women picked her dog up lent on the food and drinks counter talking to the women serving who was petting the dog she was holding. The women put the dog on the floor, the dog then messed on the floor leaving a pile of diarrhoea, I got up and left leaving my coffee, I will not be using this café again absolutely disgusting, this place needs reporting

Another great meal at Blondes - Beetroot Burgers with salad and coleslaw - yum. A dog friendly café, in the centre of Cottingham that offers a vegan alternative to every vegetarian dish, along with some of the best cakes ever.

Blondes is the best vegetarian/vegan cafe I have been to. It's a cute and cozy little place that is dog friendly. ❤The food and coffees served at Blondes are fabulous. Everything we ordered was absolutely define. The service is excellent as well. We ended up having a nice chat with the staff before we left. What a great group of ladies. I highly, highly recommend Blondes to anyone.

Lovely, friendly, family run cafe. On our visit we had excellent toasted home made tea cakes and coffee's. The home made cakes all looked delicious too. It was lovely to find somewhere we could stop off during a cold Christmas dog walk.

Had a great visit to Blondes - was excited to find most of their cakes were vegan as well as gluten free too. Huge menu most of which can be made vegan. Menu includes sandwiches, jacket potatoes milk shakes, freakshakes, soups, burgers etc. We had desserts and the Rocky Road was out of this world! Make sure you pop by!

Looking for a Vegan establishment? Looking for somewhere to go with your dog? Blondes does both. Excellent, freshly prepared, food with friendly staff.

Alternative ? Well, it is for me, but I have to say that u dont have to be a strict vegan to enjoy this place ! Food looks and tastes great and for me, just happens to be vegan or ' lesser' veggie. Owner/staff very friendly. Go to greggs if u must have a sausage roll but plenty of delicious tastw/food options here. I always believe it is worth supporting good locally owned small businesses. Well worth a visit.

I'll begin with my first impression: This cafe seemed a bit scary with the anti meat and farming industry slogans behind the counter. They are a little in your face and repeated around the place. It clearly has morals and it wants to let you know them. Intimidating.My second impression: When you go here, you have to abide by their food morals. There is no meat on the menu. Meat substitutes - yes but no meat. You get the sense the cheese & milk is only on the menu grudgingly. I was here for a quick bite for lunch and so I opted for the cheese & veg pannini. I've never seen the point of meat substitutes but I'm perfectly happy to eat vegetarian (I tend to try and view meat as a treat rather than a staple anyway). It was nice. The pannini bread itself was a little dry and not very chewy. I'm not sure if the bread is gluten free as standard or if it was just a bit overdone. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. Service is good. The wifi is nice and fast. The premises is a little bit cramped but I quite like the customer doggies hanging around. Although the food selection is a little in your face it's nice to have these sorts of diets catered for and catered for well by someone who obviously cares. In summary: I personally won't be popping in here on my own to eat again but I would definitely bring my coeliac or vegan friends here when they're in town. They will go potty for it and I will easily be able to eat something tasty too!

Extremely enjoyable atmosphere. Food is amazing. Highly recommend the milk shakes theyre delicious! staff are incredibly friendly.

Regardless of where you sit because the shop is small and narrow it is quite cramped and not in my opinion the place to also allow dogs due to the lack of space. The coffees and scones are very nice but the cupcakes although look really nice are very dry. Service good but place average.

A lovely place to eat, great vegan food and cakes to die for.reaaly love this place,much nicer than costa coffee.got some soul

I went with a friend for lunch. The interior was warm and welcoming and the staff are the same.We enjoyed our sandwiches and the lovely vegan muffins.
