Plant. Eat. Licious — Restaurant in Bath

This was our first visit to Plant. Eat. Licious. We arrived just after 2pm on a Saturday. The cafe has a clean modern vibe with an easy jazz soundtrack gently tinkling in the background. The bench seating we had at our table would have liked a modest cushion for your derrière but I'm nit picking here. Our drinks were ordered but we soon informed that both of or choices were not available. Our second choice drinks were brought to us and opened and poured and our server then said she was just going to get some ice as the drinks were not cold and the glasses they had been poured into were also hot from being recently washed. That said when the food we had ordered arrived (no availability issues here!) we were very pleased with the presentation. Lovely fresh, bright colours in both the Barbecue Cauliflower Poke bowl and the Burgerlicious. The Poke bowl consisted of battered cauliflower florets in a barbecue sauce with rice, avocado, radish, cucumber and pickles. Delicious! The Burgerlicious was a healthy stack of a patty, the meat substitute kind which is my personal preference, not the sort made from actual pieces of vegetables. With a salad of sliced tomato and shredded lettuce and an onion chutney and slices of pickle (gherkin) and rashers of crispy plant bacon. Served with a side of freshly made French fries. This was also utterly delicious! Definitely...

It took a little while to locate the cafe, largely due to Apple Maps not routing correctly. I eventually spotted the signboard on the pavement; the entrance is then down a set of steps to the left.

The interior is vibrant in decoration, but unfortunately, the atmosphere didn’t match for me. Another reviewer described it as “soulless,” and I have to agree on this visit — it’s been a long time since I’ve felt genuinely uncomfortable dining somewhere, but there was a distinct lack of warmth or ambience.

Service felt aloof. Once I’d placed my order at the counter, I was immediately informed of a 10% service charge. While I have no issue with service charges where it’s warranted, I would have appreciated the opportunity to experience the food and service first.

The wait for food was slightly longer than expected. I ordered the cauliflower poke bowl, and like diners at the next table, found the sauce overwhelmingly sweet. Several tables left food unfinished, but staff made no attempt to check in or ask for feedback. Tables where food had been eaten were cleared; the others were left untouched until guests were leaving out of the door. While it may not always be easy to approach diners who appear dissatisfied, I feel it reflects positively on a business when they’re proactive in seeking feedback and shows an interest in improving the...

I decided to stop writing google reviews a few months back as google stop providing rewards. However, coming here today, my hand has almost been forced. This place is immense.

Today, I ordered the vegan salmon and a cappucino. They were both good, although I dont this the coffee is anything special. It would be lovely to see some house blends here, although this is me trying to find something to complain about.

As a vegan, there is such a diverse range and choice of food items and baked goods which means that you can come here for any occasion. Vegan crossaint. What more could anyone ask for?

The atmosphere of this cafe is perhaps one of the best if not the best that I have been to in the UK. The lighting is soft, the music is the right volume, and the sofas are some comfy. I cannot express how wonderful the atmosphere here is. It's soft and homely, but still got that slight edge. There are so many plants around which helps to create a calming atmosphere.

And of course. The people. I am unsure their roles or who actually owns the joint, however I have not seen people this outwardly friendly for a while. It seems as if they actually care, and I really think they do.

I highly recommend this place to whoever is in Bath; vegan or not. Whilst its location is slightly mischievous, it's almost as if you are stepping into...
