I absolutely love this place! It’s catered so well for vegans also, I’m not a vegan myself but I find that really good because a lot of places lack this! - the lady who owns it is so lovely, so accommodating and will happily take on board any feedback you provide. It’s so nice to have somewhere so homely and welcoming. The food is amazing, biscoff oats are my favourite along side a mixed berry smoothie! I would definitely recommend visiting this little business when visiting bourton, it’s a treasure! Also the prices are so good for what you receive.

Had the best vegan oat bowl from Soul Bowl. Also walked away with lunch and a treat - both were incredible. The owner was super lovely and gave us some great recommendation for other vegan spots in the area.
