Vegivores in Reading

Vegivores is a lovely versatile restaurant [and make great birthday cakes to order] - and not just for vegans. I've lived in the area for nearly 5 years and I've turned up my nose at vegivores for over 3 of them. The menu didn't look exiting to me as a happy meat eater. Love my steaks, burgers etc. Then, January 2024, we did Veganuary, so we tried them. And regret hit me. Why did we not try it sooner? Why did I think it wouldn't be good when every weekend it is packed? This restaurant is fantastic. Every dish is nice. We know this, because we tried pretty much every dish on the menu since. And it's healthy. This is not vegan junk food full of processed nasties and fake meats. It's vegan wholefood plant based. We all love it, including my children [10 & 15 now]. My 10 year old loves the 'boss' bowl'. My 15 year old loves the drunken tofu knots and the burrito. My favourite is the Hey Maccarito [+ jalapenos]! which is a burrito with their mac and cheese filling instead of rice. Their gnocchi are amazing and so are all their salads. You choose where you want to be on the scale of indulgent to A+ for health. There's affordable good vegetable sides [the broccoli or the medley] to mix it up. After Veganuary, we stayed vegan and so we frequent this place fortnightly on average. Either by eating in, or by getting take out [Hey Maccarito for me...]. We go there with plenty of non-vegans who really rate the food, but given meat is not a distant memory to me and I used to *really* enjoy my meat, I think I'm a fairly good judge. This year, we started ordering birthday cakes and once you start, everyone wants one for their birthday. The pic is a biscoff cake. It's a large cake so that served probably...12-18 It's my turn next and I can't wait to discuss my 'requirements' with them and see how they surprise me.

Great food, lovely staff. All round pleasant and relaxing experience.

Lovely lunch inside, cannot to try outside area with a doggy in the summer (not allowed inside as they have an open kitchen).

Such an inviting menu. The Vegivore breakfast was top notch. The sourdough and potatoes were especially delicious. Our only regret was that we don't live closer! Visit and you won't be disappointed.

Great choice of food. I'm not vegetarian and the breakfast was great. Only gripe is it can be a bit cold early on in the day.

Amazing vegan waffle - highly recommend this place!

Great food, nice outdoor seating, highly recommended

This is a nice place, probably the only one in Reading having a full on vegan menu focused on healthy foods. The place seems to expand as well as the menu however staff does not fully know to explain all products which is an area of opportunity. Overall you can have quite a pleasant experience but obviously this will not be quite cheap. You can use the terrace in the appropriate season and this is a child friendly environment.

Just lovely.. had a smooth beetroot latte 👌 service super friendly

Not a vegetarian but never miss meat when I eat here. Good variety, great taste.

An amazing brunch - food couldn't have been better. Warm friendly staff. Very relaxing.

Best restaurant in Reading. Love all the dishes on their menu . Would like to see more seasonal menus and a quicker service . But the staff are fab and food is so delicious so i keep going back their

100% vegan! Had a great turmeric latte, peanut salad and walnut cake. All exceptionally good. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Amazing place.

Top quality food presented well and super tasty. Thank you for quality service. Love the extension.

Stopped by for brunch and had the Vegivores breakfast and a piece of chai cake. Both excellent.

I’m sure the Vegivores is the best vegan place in Bournemouth!!! My experience was perfect and the hamburger was delicious!

I’m brazilian and I saw this restaurant near my school. It was an amazing experience, the menu is really diverse, it has many options. The waitress Elisy is so nice and the place is beautiful. I recommend!

The best vegetarian food. Ever. Probably.

I visit fairly regularly - lovely food in an unhurried atmosphere. It's a shame that the toilet is very grubby - the door, paintwork and skirting boards etc. are ingrained with dirt. The loo itself was clean though. Just a bit off-putting.

Fantastic Vegan restaurant! Lovely food and lovely people. Will go next time I’m in Bournemouth

Had a great meal here! Lovely team and atmosphere. Will deffo come again <3

Great place to eat differents foods ..a firm favourite with my daughters

We love Vegivores! We've had takeaway a few times during lockdown and visited when we were able to sit outside. Had a lovely brunch, and got takeaway food & cake for later. Staff are friendly and welcoming. 100% recommend.

Certainly the best restaurant in Caversham. Excellent menu and excellent service. The food is so tasty!

Comida deliciosa y muy sabrosa. Disfrutamos de una comida encantadora y postre con los niños. Me encanta la variedad de bebidas también. El servicio fue muy bueno y el personal muy amable.

Food is AMAZING, staff are AMAZING and couldn’t recommend enough. We were meant to be going for dinner somewhere else and ended up here and I’m so happy this happened.

Teníamos el menú de Navidad y era excepcional. Los 3 platos estaban deliciosos y llenos de sabor. Recomiendo minuciosamente

Absolutely great food and friendly service. Wish there were more such restaurants

Fantastic spot, and I'm not even vegan. Delicious and different.

Excellent. Best vegan food you can eat . Beautiful desserts and great customer service . We had a great experience and didn't feel rushed to eat up quickly. I would definitely come back .

Food is top notch, best vegan food tried around reading must recommended. We tried Mac n cheese, burger and drunken knots.Also loved their lovely gesture of thank you note on bag.

Had a really nice couples dinner and was very pleased with all the options and varieties available. The Mac and Cheese and the Butter Tofu were particular highlights, entirely Vegan menu and the service was really friendly too. Definitely want to come back and have a full-size portion of the mac and cheese next time!

Bit over price for some dishes. Location is a bit weird....right next time the meat butcher 🤦

Great place, and a good selection of vegetarian dishes. The only downside is the service is very slow, even when it is far from busy. Have now been in a couple of times over lunchtime, and the service is very slow. On both occasions, we had nothing elaborate, a salad and houmous. It took an age to come. If you only have an hour for lunch, you will be struggling.

Great local for a social gathering.

Absolutely amazing food and I love having healthier options for take away. 10/10

Vegivores in Caversham is my all-time favorite restaurant! If you're a vegetarian, this place is a must-visit. Their food is absolutely delicious, and I always go for their Boss Bowl—it’s my go-to dish. The flavors are spot on, and I love how fresh and vibrant everything tastes. The staff is also incredibly polite and attentive, making each visit a pleasant experience. Whether you're a long-time vegetarian or just looking to try something new, Vegivores is definitely the place to be!"

A non-vegan and had a great lunch. Nice venue and food was very tasty. Would definitely come back.

Wait staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the food was brilliant! Good flavours spanning n Multiple cuisines!

Visited here with friends (their choice rather than ours) but what a lovely surprise this place was! As gluten free I'm always nervous about trying new places but the menu is marked up and quite a few options. I opted for the Peanut Crunch Salad and some Hashed Potatoes. The salad was beautiful! I'd happily have that every day. It's so clean and fresh. Warning about the Jazzy Broccoli with spicy sambal! I nabbed a bit from our friend and it was so spicy!

Really tasty vegan good. I had the bagel and crispy potatoes and it had my tastebuds tingling. Yum! The restaurant was really noisy at lunchtime and service could have been a little faster. Overall great brunch place.

Brilliant choice, best vegan cafe evet

It was a treat to lunch leisurely and splendidly at Vegivores yesterday. Each of our two courses were both deliciously created and beautifully presented. Very kindly, we were delivered an additional bowl of their scrumptious ice cream to atone for the slight mis-coordination on the delivery of their more-ish puddings. It was an unnecessary but thoughtful gesture and we managed to do it justice - just! It is a visceral pleasure to find such a capable and welcoming bistro that is coincidentally wholly Vegan. We thoroughly enjoyed our first meal at Vegivores and shall be returning to sample the rest of the menu once I’ve atoned for my luscious lunch! If only there was a branch nearer to home…

The wife and I wandered by this place a couple of days ago and then returned with my daughter for a meal. Wow! What a revelation! Firstly both of the members of staff we spoke with were cheerful, engaged, helpful and energised. I did not get the usual impression it was faux interest for tips, but genuinely nice people. The food was amazing and we all eagerly decided to share parts of our meal so we could try as much as we could. This is the kind of food that non-vegetarians should try just so they know how good it can be. Finished off with the toffee apple pancakes with ice cream. Delicious and very autumnal. I cant deny that it was a little pricey. I had to go and move the car before the end and my wife settled up. When she told me how much it was I was a little taken aback. However it was such a good meal we will definitely be going back and will be recommending it to everyone.

The food was excellent, the portions generous and the staff friendly. Highly recommend.

Basado en comer en su restaurante Bournemouth el fin de semana llevó a mis padres aquí mientras los visitaba. No me decepcionó, a mis padres les encantó la comida y el servicio fue genial, sin duda volverán ☺️

Hay tres palabras para resumir la comida aquí, sabor, sabor, SABOR! Mi marido (no vegano) me trajo aquí por mi cumpleaños y me encantó. Desde el excelente servicio hasta la excelente comida, fue una gran experiencia y lo recomiendo encarecidamente! Es una lástima que no pudiera comer el postre ya que estaba demasiado lleno, pero la próxima vez me daré prisa y ahorraré espacio para ello. Definitivamente volveremos y sospecho que con bastante frecuencia también.

Lovely food though few options for kids meal, puddings are fantastic and cozy place

Super yummy vegan food!! Especially the biscoff waffle and white chocolate fondu for desert, omg so good

Went for the first time today - we ordered lots of food between a table of three and all of it was delicious. There was fantastic ambience, friendly service throughout and we all had a great time. Would thoroughly recommend!

The food here is honestly amazing (I fully recommend the Satay Slay burger). I'm not vegetarian / vegan but my friends are, so we wanted to try somewhere where we could all eat and we were not disappointed - the staff were brilliant, the restaurant was lovely and the food was next level

Fui hoy con una mesa de tres. Teníamos un montón de comida entre nosotros y era tan delicioso que desearíamos haber tenido más (si tan solo no estuviéramos tan llenos de toda la comida increíble que teníamos! ). El servicio fue increíblemente amable en todo, que era un ambiente encantador en todo el restaurante. No vivimos en Reading, pero volveremos de nuevo para venir específicamente aquí - algunos de los mejores alimentos que he comido!

Comida increíble, personal maravilloso y gran ambiente! No soy vegano, pero mis amigos lo son, así que pensamos en probar Vegivoros y no nos decepcionaron. La hamburguesa de tofu es increíble - honestamente delicioso - y mis amigos tenían el burrito de verduras y guisantes por favor y dijeron que eran increíbles también! El personal también era muy amable y acogedor - recomendaría 100%

Went for lunch on my own. I wasn't that hungry so had a small plate - the peanut crunch salad - and a side of hashed potatoes. Really enjoyed it. The salad was fresh and crunchy and the potatoes were salty and crispy. Would definitely eat there again if in the area.

Seriously good!!!! We went (2 of us) for the first time to vegivores on a rainy stormy Saturday evening, no reservation and just dropped on in. We were greeted with a big hello and welcome that instantly put us at ease. We were seated and the server explained the menu and drinks. I cannot fault the first impression and service. Down to earth, positive, calming and very welcoming like visiting an old friend. We ordered our food and drink and made some decisions based on the servers recommendation. We ordered a selection of small plates and mains to try a bit of everything. Drinks top notch a lovely selection of vegan wines, cocktails, cocktails and kombucha. Always a great way to start dinner. We opted for kombucha and a mocktail. Food came and OMG!!! Beautiful presented and full of flavour. The food is nutritious but so tasty!!! We were blown away! The dhal is INSANELY gooood! We had the crispy gnocchi, smashed peas with butter beans, Mac and cheese and the dhal. An explosion of flavour and textures. Do not let the descriptions fool you these dishes and packed with loads of goodness, flavour and care!!! We paid around £30 each for dinner which is the right price. We shall be back to try more and next time we shall withhold from driving. The server was at the top of their game balancing other tables, the bar and orders for delivery. Seems the home delivery side has good traction here but we would recommend eating in. Chef! You’re ace!!! Big credit to you for dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed and defo will be back. Worth a visit any day!

Really good food, can’t recommend this place enough. Will definitely be going back again.

I had my 30th birthday celebration here, there were around 18 of us having bottomless brunch. The staff at Vegivores did an amazing job at accommodating us all, everyone said the food was delicious, as were the cocktails, thank you so much for a lovely day!

Vino a comer algo rápido. La comida era fantástica, el servicio muy atento, gracias Lizzie y Chase Obvio que había un restaurante lleno de gente disfrutando de la comida.

Caversham has quite a few excellent restaurants but Vegivores is fast becoming our "go to" place of choice. Each item on the menu that we have sampled on each visit has been excellent and the service friendly and efficient....

Fantastic food - however the service was dreadful and extremely slow it felt as if we were a nuisance when trying to order our meals as there were not enough staff. I am not vegan but really enjoyed the food it’s such a shame that the service is so poor.

Love this place! Everything is vegan but most importantly delicious. We had the gnocchi, tofu twists, veggie burrito and the Mac n cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly, light on oils, high in taste.

All round, very good lunch. Busy and delicious. A good find.

Amazing vegan ! Thoughtful staff with cool hair. Felt like I popped to Berlin for the evening for amazing satay tofu burger and coconut vegan icecream with cherry sauce 🍒🥥✨inspiring recipes and organic ciders and wines !

Amazing food, amazing service. Not a vegan, but the food here is phenomenal. Mushrooms on toast is a firm recommendation from me!

Im so happy a friend took me here! The staff were excellent, polite friendly and very good about giving us the space and time we needed to chat whilst eating. The food was delicious and 2 for 1 offers made it a bargain! I can’t wait to come to back, thank you for a wonderful dinning experience

Excellent neighbourhood vegan restaurant; great food and friendly service. Level access and an accessible toilet too.

Visited Vegivores for lunch today, the food & service is amazing! We had a tofu bowl and the burrito, and would recommend both. We also had great conversations with both Elise & Tabi who served us. We will definitely be back 💚

The new busy star of veganism in Reading. If I had to recommend one dish, then the satay kebas win.

Good was top notch. Massive portions ready for a rainy day at Reading. We had the Slay Bowl, Jazzy Broccoli, Gnocchi and Brunch Burger. All amazing, couldn’t get enough. Amazing space and atmosphere. The staff were wonderful. Coffee was so good we had 2. What a lovely, wholesome, yummy, and welcoming place.

Amazing food and spectacular customer service. My wife went and was so excited to share it with me and my god she was right

Me and my kids favorite treat! Yet another wonderful experience, thank you!!

The food was a mixed bag. The burger was lovely, however the potatoes were solid and cold in the middle. The coffee, whilst beautifully presented was lukewarm and quite gritty in texture. Table service was normal. The score given reflects both the undercooked potatoes, and the suggestion of leaving a tip that was vocalised when presenting to the counter to make payment, rather than asking if there we had any feedback about the food. At ~£45 for two underwhelming mains and two coffees I am not in a hurry to go back.

Amazing place to have brunch! Loves their crispy ganochi and veggie breakfast.

I tried the peanut Salad 7, it was good but not something that I would order again; the Boss’s Bowl 14.50 was delicious. A solid espresso 2.80 There is outdoor seating that fills up quickly. Consider reserving a table in advance.

Very delicious and very polite and friendly staff

Excellent, Em was very attentive. The MacCheeze was very tasty and filling, as was the Burrito. Interesting lager, 'Mash Gang Stoop', didn't know Aberdeen was a centre of great lager production.

Came here not knowing what to expect but knowing I wanted something different to the burgers offered everywhere else. Left exceptionally impressed! Best food I've had in ages and lovely friendly and fast service. Thanks guys!

Visited with our son who is vegan. We aren't. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunches. Very fresh and very tasty. We had the Boss Bowl, the Green Bowl and the burger with satay sauce. All really good. Pleasant surrounding and good service. We'll definitely visit again when next in the area.

We loved our meal at Vegivores. Great menu for us and we were so surprised that they brought us a special menu for our dog as well! We opted to share 5 small plates, all were delicious. Desserts didn’t disappoint either! Our dog had a Woofle! Fab relaxed vibe, ideal for an afternoon coffee n cake or a special evening meal, it ticks all the boxes.

Amazing food I took my carnivore classic "I can't go a day without meat" to this place , they got the burrito for brunch and they were blown away Best vegan place in reading

This is my favourite restaurant ever. It is so special to have a 100% vegan restaurant because it means that if you invite anyone to come with you who is non-vegan then they enjoy the vegan options too. Helps people to recognise that vegan food is delicious and not just lettuce! It just has such good vibes with all of the staff so friendly and welcoming. The biscoffle is to die for and I especially love all of the different bowls because there are so many flavours going on in just one dish. The staff have been so understanding and helpful about my boyfriend’s allergies and they have even adapted dishes to make them safe for us to eat. There are so many options which is very rare as a vegan and even their drinks menu is extensive and has many different soft drinks and types of coffee not just alcoholic drinks. The locations is also perfect because you get a lil walk from Reading station (about 20 mins) which is so cute at night time. Overall, I would recommend this place to vegans and non-vegans and we will be coming back many more times!

Easily my favourite restaurant. Everything is faultless. We have been several times now (to both branches) and have always been overwhelmingly satisfied. The food is the best I have ever had - anywhere. The staff are always so kind and polite, which helps to create a lovely atmosphere. I have recommended Vegivores to my non-vegan friends, who have spoken in pure amazement about how brilliant both the restaurant and their food is. Everyone who I have suggested this place to has left as highly impressed and eager to return. On this occasion, I went for the breakfast burrito and swapped the brown rice for the macaroni cheeze (their ‘Macarito’) - simply incredible. My partner went for the ‘Parfait Par-tay’ and could not have been any more delighted by its quality. Vegivores is a must-visit. You will not be disappointed.

Everything I've tried on the menu has been amazing. Coffee is great too. Friendly staff. Dogs only allowed outside but they provide a water bowl.

Delicious Vegan food, friendly staff and cosy restaurant. One of the best Vegan places I've been to.

Truly tasty. 👌 Vegivores is a vegan vegetarian heaven ✅

Friendly staff, slight wait for service but understandable on a busy Father’s Day brunch period. Excellent food and coffee, not cheap but good value. The breakfast was really tasty though no longer includes the scrambled tofu and the toast was plain rather than chunky sour dough though overall an excellent meal. My meat eating family were more than satisfied with their vegan boss bowls and I appreciated the choice of hot sauces!

Love coming here everytime I'm in Reading. Staff are always so friendly and food is absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to everyone!

Lovely food and Chase was a very attentive waiter

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed redeeming our "Vegivores" loyalty points that we've accrued via the Yollty app. We'd always intended to save up our loyalty points to use for the Afternoon Tea as it's not available on the menu (understandably so as it must involve so much preparation alongside all the other offerings from Vegivores). We both knew that it was going to be fantastic, but it even managed to exceed our expectations! Everything was special, but there were two stand-out items for me; the Coronation Chickpea on toasted sourdough and the blini. The Coronation Chickpea was the very first thing that we ate and I was sure that it would be my favourite thing from the Afternoon Tea. It was stunningly good. However, I was *even more* blown away with the blinis. I can't describe just how good that was. The layers of flavours and the textures was exquisite. I won't go in to much more detail than this, other than to say that I would *definitely* recommend this to other loyal customers who manage to get enough loyalty points to enjoy this. Again, we were well looked after by the staff. It was a pleasure to chat with Kevin and Lauren. And as always, the chefs never get the plaudits they deserve despite it being their food that we always enjoy so much. They are unsung stars! Thanks very much to everyone at Vegivores ... we'll be back again soon!

To be honest I wasn't here, I was at the butchers next door and that's probably not what potential customers want to hear ( but Google tracked me to being outsite and asked for a review). It does look a lovely place to visit ! 😋

The best vegan food in the local area- everything is delicious!

The best vegan restaraunt I have ever been too.

Extremely tasty food - even if you’re not vegan / vegetarian you will enjoy it. Loved going there with friends for a birthday lunch.

We ordered takeaway one night and came in for lunch on our way out of Bournemouth. Our server was so friendly and patient with our kids. There was something for everyone, I loved the crispy gnocchi and satay bowl. The home made desserts were so rich and delicious!

Just perfect. You don't have to be a vegan or veggie to enjoy this amazing food. If I lived in the area, I would be eating here every day.

My favourite restaurant without a doubt! I’ve been eating at Vegivores for years now and it’s safe to say I’m addicted! The food is the kind of food you take a bite out of and instantly think “wow” and start doing a happy dance with your shoulders. Fresh, good quality feel good food. Their consistency is unmatched when it comes to the quality of food and the level of service. I’ve eaten in off of their regular menu, special menu when there’s a theme/event, ordered on Deliveroo, collection etc and I’ve had an amazing experience every single time.

Fantastic meal, super friendly staff (Sam), highly recommend can't wait for our next visit.

Really lovely food, lovely atmosphere and friendly service! I am veggie, one of my sons is veggie and the other has a dairy allergy, so this was an amazing restaurant that we all loved!! We were served by Sam. Thank you 😊

If I could give 100 stars I would! I’ve visited the Bournemouth Vegivores and the Reading Vegivores and both places were so clean, totally welcoming and the food is stellar. My fave thing to order is the biscoffle.. that lil thing is a work of art. Would always recommend it.

Working in area and out alone I wanted to go veggie or vegan with nice food and a chill atmosphere. Definitely made a great choice. Wine chateau rochecolombe delightful, the sour dough and butter… how can bread taste so good, my main course was enjoyed and the truffle for dessert ( I ordered just one but was so good I ordered another one to take home)! My waitress Yollty busied around managing the whole restaurant on her one with a big smile and super efficient! All in all definitely a recommendation from me.
