You will rarely find this restaurant quiet, so it's always advisable to book ahead. The staff are really on the ball when it comes to the ingredients on the menu, happy to help accommodate any allergies diners may have or even just suggest a great wine pairing with you meal. The desserts are absolutely to die for, but be warned! The portions are very generous, so you may need to share with a pal. The pear crumble with salted caramel ice cream is a current favorite, followed closely by the sticky toffee pudding. Don't forget to check out the constantly changing specials board too, especially for their cheeky little gin suggestions!

This is such a hidden gem in York…read more Such a cozy and warm welcome when you walk in. It's a pretty tiny place but I think that's what makes it extra special. I wanted to have a photoshoot in there because it was just so cute. They also have a small outdoor seating area. The food menu is not big, but those things on it are just on point. Everything is so fresh and sounds so good that it makes you want to order everything off the menu. I was really impressed with the flavors of the dishes we ordered. Even though I just ordered avo and toast, it was by far better than other places I've had before. Not to mention it's vegan! They also offer yummy cakes! If you're looking for healthy and affordable food options, this is your place ! Also, good view of the city's wall.

The Good Apple Cafe is a really cute small cafe and I think it actually just opened recently! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted the smiles of friendly staff members and a cozy setting of chairs and tables. Here's the big plus....this cafe is vegan! Have you ever tried vegan rocky road? Gluten-free Orange and passion fruit cupcakes? It's literally a world of wonders in there! Not only that, you've got yourself a vast selection of hot drinks, including an even greater selection of teas (no seriously there's actually a lot!). If you're hungry, that's it's own story. Lots of choices ranging from bagels to wraps and even yummy sweets! I'm gonna be super boring and just tell you right away I had a cappuccino despite all these choices lol! Other selections included a rooibos creme caramel tea (you read that correctly.....I've never smelled something so beautiful), regular black tea, matcha latte (delicious!), and a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of a latte. Everyone loved their choices! Prices are very reasonable: drinks are all under £2-3 depending on your selection and food is anywhere between £3-6! Free wifi for all you Internet lovers and they have a stack of magazines and novels in the corner in case you just wanna zone out for a bit. On our way out we managed to catch the barista taking freshly baked red velvet cupcakes out of the oven.....nothing better than seeing your food made fresh! Definitely recommend:) Ps the tea comes in cute little blue teapots and I don't know why I loved them so much but I hope you do too :)

Lovely little cafe in Durham. The menu is vegetarian and vegan, offering simple cafe meals like…read moretoasties, sandwiches and some salads. What's more, they don't charge extra for soy milk or vegan cheese alternatives. That's a rare thing. The cakes and sweet things are made in house too and are pretty good. Decent coffee too, for Durham. Friendly staff, good music and decorated with art by local artists. What's not to like?

So far have tried the tangy lemon bar and the chocolate cake which are both vegan and delicious. Great to have another good coffee shop option in Durham!

This is a review about the Christmas evenings at Signals, where they offered a set menu and…read morerequired diners to book in advance. This is different to how they usually operate. Being vegan, it can sometimes be awkward to find places that will cater for my dietary requirements, especially around the holidays, but I'd heard good things about Signals so I contacted them and they were more than happy to provide vegan alternatives for me. They sent me an email with various different options so I could choose (unlike other places that will just provide one vegan dish) and the whole table-booking process was made easy, I could even pay the table deposit over the phone. The Christmas menu had four courses (starter, main, dessert and coffees with mince pies) and cost £25. A deposit of £10 per person was required. Each course had four different choices, although there was only one vegetarian option for a main course - Goat's cheese, mushroom and leek pie. The vegan dish they made for me was a mushroom and vegetable pie with a creamy tofu sauce. When we arrived the place was empty! But we had chosen to have a fairly early meal on a Sunday evening. However we were glad that we'd chosen to go at that time as, when we were coming to the end of our meal, lots of very loud people started steadily arriving to go upstairs for cocktails. All the drunken shouting, singing and walking in-and-out of the main door wasn't something we'd expected at all. I felt sorry for the diners who were still just starting their meals with all that noise going on. This is the only reason I haven't given Signals five stars. Onto the food! Each course was presented so nicely that it really did make it feel like a special meal. And Signals had laid out Christmas crackers for people so it felt very Christmassy. The food arrived in good time (courses arrived shortly after we said we were ready for them; there was no unnecessary waiting time) and the food was always steaming hot. My vegan portions seemed massive compared to everyone else's meals (I'm not complaining though!) and we left feeling more than comfortably full. It all tasted wonderful, I don't have anything bad to say about the food at all, and my dining companion said her food was lovely as well. The service was friendly and not over-bearing but available when we needed them, The drinks were reasonably priced and I definitely think the meal was worth what we paid for it. I'm definitely planning to go back; I like supporting local businesses but I also want to support places that cater really well for different dietary needs. And I want to try some of those cocktails that everyone was enjoying!! Visited December 2014.

It's fairly big and stocks food which is natural, healthy, suitable for vegans and people on a gluten free diet. From seeds, nuts, and rice crackers to dried fruit and confectionery. I did manage to over look the drinks selection in my crazy sale buying spree. This is a great place to buy your five a day because you don't have to worry about things going rotten after a few days. There was some peculiar looking things that I hadn't seen or heard of before and lots of favourite snacks too. Well worth a look if you're after tasty treats.

You get some salad and some crisps on the plate with your burger, and it's extremely filling. Whether want a quick bite to eat, a take-away sandwich, just some tea or a full meal, it's great for everything. Take-away tends to be just salads and sandwiches etc. but you can get burgers, jacket potatoes, paninis etc. if you sit in the cafe. The waiters are all friendly and professional, but it also has a cosy cafe feel to the place. It can get quite busy around lunch time so, unless you're grabbing take-away, expect to spend some time there. You never feel like you're being rushed to finish your food though, it's all very relaxed.
