The cafe is a great little hidden gem. Fantastic coffee, delicious cakes, a very nice owner and a beautiful selection of succulent plants and cacti, all very reasonably priced. Some of the plants are locally grown. I highly recommend trying out the independent cafe!

The Plant side Cafe roast dinner delivery was amazing, from ordering to enjoying the delicious meal. They were able to answer my questions promptly, the payment was no hassle and delivery arrangements gave us plenty of time to plan our day and be ready for our lovely roast. I'm vegan and my partner isn't and we both really enjoyed the seitan beef roast dinne. Although it was a perfect size portion, we both wanted more. I have visited The Plant Side Cafe ones before (in between lockdowns). I found the Cafe to be lovely, clean, with friendly and welcoming staff. I am really looking forward to coming back and enjoying their delicious food again. Thank you!

Went in for cake and coffee with my wife. Coffees were good, but the cakes were great (blueberry muffin and peanut butter cake). Total cost £8.20, which was fair. We also saw a couple having lunch and they told us their (hot) lunch was very tasty. The cafe is opposite the library.

Came in for lunch one rainy day with my family. Menu was limited and no children's menu. It was cold inside and I felt the place was cold and uncosy. We walked in not sure what to do.. no menus on tables and no direction on what to do.no welcome hello until my husband went to the till. Free water point which nice to see. The food was amazing we shared a sausage roll while I waited on a burger and my husband had the curry.. both beautiful. My children had cake the chocolate was a little dry where my daughter smashed her lemon and raspberry cake. This place could do with little extras. Menus on table with a please order at the till sign. A few cushions to make it more welcoming. A Child friendly menu.. sweet potatoe fries etc would be epic.. a must go for food! Fully support the vegan movement!!

I was looking for somewhere different for lunch and as a recent vegan convert was pleased to find this place on TripAdvisor It was quiet when I arrived at 12:30 but by 1 o'clock all the tables were full - obviously a popular place. The menus is small and it all sounds amazing. I had the Earth burger which was really tasty. No room for a slice of cake but they look so good. Will be back next time I'm in the area

I had one of their ‘not sausage rolls’ to takeaway which was warm and delicious, it was like a mini nut roast! I will definitely be back again - I’d much rather support a local independent for all my vegan sausage roll needs instead of Gregs or Warrens. Everything is available for takeaway so I’ll be making use of that! Many people seem to suggest using the public toilets opposite due to the lack of on-site toilets. Personally I would recommend using the ones in the M&S round the corner as these are likely to be more pleasant.

We popped in one lunchtime as we are both vegetarian and could see it is a good place, from the reviews on Tripadvisor. We each ordered their special of Nacho bowl with salads and homemade vegan cheese. It was delicious. We had tea with oatmeal milk which was certainly interesting, as the milk gives it quite a different flavour. Nice friendly staff and pretty decent value for money overall.

Every time I am in Taunton on my own I always make sure I come to the Planet for lunch. The Earth burger is delicious and I love the range of salads that come with it. I’ve never tried anything else on the menu as I always have the earth burger! The oat milk hot chocolate is lovely and frothy and there is always a good selection of delicious vegan homemade cakes. I am so glad I found this place and hope it stays open for years to come - well done team, keep up the great work!

Popped in here for a quick lunch on an all-too-rushed journey from Devon to the Midlands. A limited menu but very friendly staff, speedly service, good value and delicious healthy food.

Despite it being busy for a Saturday lunchtime I wasn't kept waiting long, plus an ever so helpful member of staff even helped me with the door as I had my hands full. I had the planet burger with today's salad which was totally delicious!!! As for the red velvet cupcake - wow! So very yummy! A truly gem of a place for Taunton. One very happy customer.

Lunch on Saturday, restaurant already quite full which was great to see. I ordered the pasta and husband ordered a chickpea burger. Mine was delicious and as hubby's plate was clean and he had vocalised its tastiness, I have to give both meals 5/5. The salads are particularly tasty; all fresh, imaginative and creative. For me, vegetarian, almost vegan, it is fantastic having such a choice. All served with a smile. Oh, and my husband has a nut allergy and this was taken care of without a fuss. All round, a very very good experience and I shall be returning.

The planet is one of my go to places to eat in Taunton. Very relaxing place to sit and eat..staff are friendly.. the vegan meals are lovely. I wish there was more of a selection of salads as they are a bit bland - but still nice. Would be good if they did fresh smoothies and juices too, it would really add to it, I think. The cakes are out of this world!!!

Lovely little vegan cafe with freshly made food including salads, pasta and rice dishes, burgers etc. Plant milks for hot drinks, and a selection of cold drinks. Nice atmosphere and quite busy with nearly all tables taken when we were there. There isn't a loo, but there are public conveniences literally two minutes walk away which wasn't a biggie for us. Very delicious and healthy tofu in peanut sauce, followed by a not so healthy but equally delicious vegan cake. Nice little find, and will go back next time we are passing Taunton.

My meal arrived lukewarm, and when I asked for it to be reheated it was eventually returned slightly hotter. I then asked where the toilet was, and was told that there is no toilet, and directed across the road to the car park. Surely all eating establishments are required to have toilets? I would certainly never return here.

Waited 25 minutes for food to arrive and after politely asking how long it would be, I was told in a sharp tone that all their food is made from fresh ingredients and they don't microwave heat it. Even so, on a lunch time they need to speed it up a bit and not be passive aggressive to customers like a scene from Fawlty Towers. Ate half my food in 5 minutes I had left. So for me, slow food meant fast eating with no time to enjoy it.

We googled Vegan restaurants as happened to be in Taunton and was excited to try a new place that solely caters for Vegans, very disappointed, no toilets, husband was told to use the public toilets across the street which were dirty & smelt disgusting, no one said hello when we walked in, no menus on the table so went up to the counter to see what food they do, Pasta dish, Salad bowl or Burgers, only to be told no pasta just burgers on the menu, salad options looked poor so we just left as neither of us fancied a burger, very poor service & lack of choice, we went to ZiZi’s instead, Vegan menu & excellent fast service, toilets on site & scummy food!

Probably like more and more people nowadays, I'm not vegan but am eating meat rarely and actively seeking out meat free alternatives, so I was looking forward to eating here. The cafe decor is simple and unfussy. The menu has less choices than your usual cafe, but this is a good thing as quality always triumphs over quantity. Although, they break the rule with their famous burger meals with both quality and quantity in spades! The food was delicious, you can tell its homemade and they care about what they are putting on the plate. Oh, and the cakes are excellent too. I work near this cafe and have seen it change hands many times. I do hope this one goes the distance as it offers something which no other regular cafe in the area does.

It’s so lovely to have a vegan cafe in Taunton - the two ladies who run it are warm and chatty and serve bloody lovely food! I’m yet to try a cake but I have had a pasta dish and it was utterly amazing - as a vegan I really struggle to find healthy, tasty options when eating out and it was absolutely great to have something nutritious and delicious (as well as homemade!) available. The prices are reasonable and given the quality of the food you don’t mind paying them at all. I was served a lovely coffee by them recently and I love that all their takeaway products are fully compostable. Please doing what you’re doing - it’s wonderful to have a conscientious cafe that serves such fabulous products in Taunton!

I visited with friends this morning as we fancied a change from the chain coffee shops and the promise of a vegan cake was enough to sway it for me! I'm not vegan, but am lactose intolerant so can't usually have cakes or pastries with coffee. What a treat this place was - not only could I have a cake, but I had a choice! The chocolate almond cake was delicious. And a choice of milks for my latte as well...

Everything tasted better than they looked! This is the second time I have been to a vegan cafe where the food hasn’t looked great but has tasted amazing. I started my meal by taking a bite out of everything. The spicy chickpea burger, as I expected, was not in the slightest bit spicy for my West African taste buds. It was served in a wholewheat bun with lettuce and tomatoes. Nothing fancy, yet it tasted so good! The salads each had their own unique flavours. However, they all seemed to work together, much to my surprise.

Excellent vegan food made with real commitment and very reasonably priced. The menu is 100% vegan, homemade to a high standard. The cake is moist and succulent, melt-in-the-mouth stuff - when normally vegan baking can be overly dry and uninspiring. I had the Planet Burger with homemade vegan 'cheese' - not only a great flavoursome burger but also a generous portion of chickpea salad to accompany it.

My sister and I visited on Saturday lunchtime. It was very busy with friendly, helpful staff and very welcoming. A chalkboard of hot food choices, along with 3 different non-dairy milk for tea/coffee/chocolate drinks. Great array of cupcakes and large cakes. I had Planet Burger with salads and my sister had Cauliflower Fritters and salads. We both had cakes which were amazingly moist. The whole meal was very tasty and nicely presented. I was intrigued by the wide variety of salads available - a large spoon of about 5/6 different salads on the plate - such a nice idea. Mains came in at around £6 each and cakes £2. Only drawback was that it was quite chilly - but the day was very cold and wet. Good value and we will definitely be back.

I have eaten here with my daughter twice. The first time we were fairly impressed. We had cauliflower fritters (delicious) with a couple of different salads of our choice, one of which was made with very finely chopped vegetables which also included cauliflower. It tasted quite different to the fritters and complemented them well! We did feel on that occasion though that the decor was a tad cheerless and the floor was pretty grubby. We were less impressed by our second visit. We both chose to have the planet burgers which came in a bun with vegetarian cheese and mayo and was accompanied by salad. The burgers themselves were very tasty but we didn't rate the cheese and felt that there was too much mayo and in fact, too much bun! Half of one would have been enough. The thing we liked the least by far was the fact that it was a cold, wet, miserable day and it was no warmer in the cafe. Not warm enough to remove our coats! There was a radiator in there but wasn't on, and this added to the still cheerless decor, didn't make for a particularly enjoyable experience. The floor, once again, looked like it needed a darn good wash! We may try The Planet again but would definitely wait for the warmer weather!

I think it's misleading to say that The Planet is "not just for vegans". My wife prefers vegetarian food; I don't. She really enjoyed the visit. I didn't. It is a vegetarian café after all. If you are not a vegan, the menu is not for you. I had quiche and found it very bland (indeed). But I wish the café every success; Taunton needs variety and The Planet are offering a strong vegetarian option. For instance you won't get cow's milk with your coffee. Fine - enjoy the change. But be aware that vegan means vegan. This is a café with convictions.

The cafe provides a vegan menu, which changes on a regular basis. The menu is a little limited but of the meals that we tried there was no lacking in flavour. I had the Earth burger whilst my wife tried the Planet burger, we were able to choose two salad sides with each meal. The tastes were absolutely fantastic, and they were exceptionally filling. Given that I am a devout carnivore I was more than happy. We also took away a couple samples of cake, which didn't let us down (us = me) the taste was fantastic. Would definitely go again, looking forward to trying the chilli and my wife wants to try the nachos.

So impressed with the range, flavours and colours of the food; I'm not vegan, just curious, and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be back for another plant-based lunch at a very reasonable price, with super service.

We had the chickpea fritters with leaves and salad, all absolutely gorgeous - followed by divine chocolate cake. A perfect lunch. Great service and lovely people, we will be spreading the word!

What a great surprise to discover "The Planet", a new 100% plant based cosy little cafe conveniently positioned opposite Taunton's central library, W.C's and parking.

I've started regularly eating at The Planet now, and it's been a culinary journey of discovery for me. Not only is the food that I've tried delicious, it has inspired me cut out meat from my diet, and now I'm thinking about going totally vegan. I didn't realise vegan food could be so tasty. I've tried the mushroom and spinach slice, and other tasty bakes and pastry, as well as the pasta and salad dishes, and Annelise's yummy cakes!

Tried The Planet out for the first time today and we'll be back again! Friendly welcome, great prices and good size portions too. I had the planet burger with salads and my boyfriend had the nachos- the cheese tasted amazing! He loved the meal, even as a meat eater :) Lovely weather so we sat outside too. Definitely worth a visit.

As soon as I found out about this cafe I knew I'd have to try it on my next visit to the town. They've filled a gap that has been in Taunton for a surprisingly long time and I'm pleased that they seem to be doing a very good job of it.

Great food, super friendly place and very reasonably priced. I have been several times and it's consistently excellent. Save room for the cake!

This is a pleasant place to have lunch, with light and airy surroundings and right in the middle of town. It’s vegan but they seem happy enough to feed people who aren’t of a similar thinking. We aren’t even vegetarian. They have a changing menu which features just a few dishes and salads on the side are included in the price of your meal. All the food is delicious and we’ve been eating there once a week for about a month. I’m perfectly happy with it and the prices are reasonable too.

First visit to Taunton and had found this place on trip advisor. Had excellent lunch, a spicy stew with choice of salads. Would have loved to try the cake but no room!!!! Very friendly service. Would recommend to all vegans.

Wonderful 100% plant based food and drinks, all made by a very friendly and talented chef and served by 2 warm and welcoming waiters. Small menu but is constantly being switched up so every visit you can find something different from last time. Seriously recommend the sweet potato and peanut stew, the planet burger, and the spinach and "feta" slice. The chocolate cake is also absolutely amazing. Introduced most of my friends and family to it already and even though they aren't began they all thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10

So good to have somewhere that I can go with my vegetarian husband where he has 100% choice. We only had 30 minutes to spare so both chose the Planet Burger and a lemonade (husband chose elderflower and I had rhubarb). Drinks were served nicely chilled and were absolutely awesome and at only £1 each really good value. Burgers were cooked from fresh and served promptly and were delicious, husband said it was the best burger he has ever had and he has had a fair few over the years. Again at £4 the burgers were really good value, not at all over priced, which you can find in some speciality cafes. Friendly staff and a comfy environment made this a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a Saturday lunch time. We will definitely be back as I love the sound of the Spicy Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew but felt I needed more time to really savour it.

This cafe is amazing. The staff were friendly and despite the fact that it was a very busy time of day I got served really quickly (7-8 mins). I ordered the Planet burger which came with a side salad. The food was well presented on the plate. The burger was great, the best I have ever had, but I also enjoyed the side salad. So often in other restaurants side salads are boring and are just there to fill up the plate. However this side salad had a diverse range of flavours that complemented each other well. For a drink I had a hot chocolate. They offered me three choices of vegan milk, (soya, coconut or almond). I commented that I usually prefer oat drink which they were able to provide instead. The other good thing about this cafe was the price. I live on a low wage and found the meal was easily affordable for me. I simply could not believe that I got a meal of that quality for that price. I am very happy with this cafe and will definitely come again. I only wish I could learn to cook as well their chef.

Please be very wary of booking any kind of function here. Our experience was of booking for my wife's 50th birthday one year in advance. Booking accepted, we sent out invites and people began booking hotel rooms etc. We received a phone call a few days ago, telling us that they were cancelling the booking. They had a story about double booking us with someone who made a tentative enquiry two years ago(!), but it is clear that we have simply been bumped for a more lucrative offer. It is so disappointing when a business treats potential customers like this. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere for any important function.

A quirky little spot with a unique experience. The portions are small, but it's appropriate to the theme. Just be aware of that.
