The Herbarium

As a first time visitor to Lancaster I discovered this real gem. So much choice! I had the club sandwich with chips, lovely crispy chips, and delicious sandwich, but too big to finish! My partner had Shakshuka which again was very nicely cooked and flavoured. Very good value and very helpful friendly service.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere in this place. You walked in and staff made it seem like you were returning to old friends. You felt safe, welcome and staff were friendly polite and attentive. Also let me borrow a phone charger so I was safe home as our train tickets were on my phone! Beautiful little place tucked away in Lancaster central, well worth a visit and good quality plant based food. Cocktails also very good for the price, decent sized !

Very surprisingly delicious! I was skeptical of a vegan brunch (brunch to me consist of egg-based foods, generally, and I am not at all used vegan restaurants/food). I highly recommend the breakfast burrito: very filling and delicious. My friend had the big breakfast (or whatever it is called), and it looked great, rich and she was quite happy with it. I definitively recommend.

Do not walk, RUN to the herb! This place is by far the best breakfast I’ve had. Could not recommend enough, I come here at least once a week for the past 6months or so and NEVER have I had a bad experience. Food is always top notch, service is great. The owner is almost around making it feel like a very local and welcoming place. I’m not vegan, I do love tofu and oat milk though. But often I find when places brand themselves as totally vegan it turns me away due to high prices and the mimicry of non vegan food. This place is the opposite of any of that! Yes it’s vegan, but they make their own amazing food and it’s super interesting and not your typical boring run of the mill veggie patties. 1) it’s a great price for what it is (bonus they don’t charge extra for oat milk) 2) the breakfast burrito and not avo on toast are 10/10 best things ever. Could eat forever. And 3) JUST GO, RUN!! GET YOUR HERB ON! I will forever be a big fan of well priced good local food.

Absolutely amazing! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is always delicious. They tend to everyone, always going out of their way to adapt anything if need be. Such a cozy vibe and a great place to go with friends and family. I would definitely recommend to visit if you’ve not already done so.
