This plant-based café serves a menu of sweet and savoury dishes which are both nutritious and delicious. Unwind over a perfectly-made cup of coffee and slice of homemade cake, or choose from the all-day menu. Our favourite section of the extensive menu has to be the range of tasty ‘bowls’ – packed full of healthy vitamins, each bowl has a theme, from Power and Well Being to Chill Out. Partnering with Ecologi (the company that is attempting to carbon neutralise our planet by planting trees), The Greenhouse is saving our planet as well as our appetites.
