Cafe Indiependent - Scunthorpe

We’ve recently moved to Scunthorpe and heard great things about this place, especially for live music! Me and my wife are booked in for gig in March, can’t wait. We came in for food end of Jan and were surprised to see fully vegan menu! I still eat meat but wife is vegan so she was taken back. We went for BLT, vegan pancakes with vegan Nutella! and some extra fries. Delicious! Coffee was decent enough, but on the colder side but still fine. they do offer cows milk at bar which took my wife back, thought plant milk would come as standard. I still have cows milk so I was happy lol But only food menu fully vegan, maybe soon the bar will be vegan. 5star for food 4 star for drinks!

Cafe indie was probably the first place to start offering vegan food and coffees in the whole of scunny. Their kitchen is now fully vegan and run by the amazing Junk Soul Smothered. (Check out their Facebook page if you’re planning a visit). The cafe is spacious and airy and very very quirky! Amy who makes the coffees is so good at making delicious oat lattes. I love them. We’ve had many a vegan meet up here and since JSS took over the kitchen we‘ve had a couple of post parkrun vegan runner meet ups. Vegan runners U.K. is the second largest running club in the country (and growing). Food wise they have a breakfast stack which is hash brown bacon and sausage in a bun with sauce, burgers, scoffles, loaded burger fries and toasted sandwiches. All the food is lush. They now even do a vegan breakfast but it’s not on the menu just yet. Check them out.

Excellent!! Called in one weekend dinner time and had nachos and a sandwich between the two of us and the food was ace! Its a place I will be back at. The menu might be limited but the efforts they bring you are really good and theres loads of it.

Visited 3 times this week as part of the Junk soul smothered vegan takeover

Try to pop in on a lunchtime for a quick bite. They usually have 1 vegan dessert in and a few vegan options on the menu. Some of the vegan items that are on the menu are not obvious. You can order the loaded nachos as vegan, (vegan cheese, guacamole and salsa) so just ask if you’re not sure. When they have the salted caramel torte in I highly recommend trying that. Vegan or not vegan if you like a pudding you will love it. I’d like to see more vegan items on the menu. Anyone can eat vegan food and pre 3rd COVID they were really good at catering for vegans
