Lionsheart Bookshop Café - Woking

The cakes are mostly vegan but do check. Coffee is delicious, helpful friendly staff, much better than the chain coffee places

Lionheart had been open about 6 months when I went in early November 2021. I love having an independent bookshop in the local area and one which has great vegan cake and loose leaf tea! I had the carrot cake which was amazing! And a pot of loose leaf tea, which was also great. I got a cinnamon ring doughnut to take away, which I ate later; it was good but not as good as the cake. I'm looking forward to going back to try more cake flavours! My timing was unlucky because it seems a Sunday morning christening at a nearby church had just finished and the place filled up. The staff and kitchen could not cope with the sudden influx of orders. The toasties in particular were a problem. Other people were having to wait for a long time. I waited even longer (but it was okay because I could sit and read the book I had just bought! . It turned out they had forgotten that part of my order. Once they realised, the place had emptied out quite a bit and I think mine was the only order in the kitchen but it still took a surprisingly long time for my toasties to be prepared. The wait wasn't really worth it either; the toastie was quite good but nothing I'd rush to have again. The staff were great though and clearly working their socks off to try and keep up. I will definitely return but in future I will probably just stick to cake!

Amazing coffee enjoyed a super frothy oat latte and a carrot cake. All the cakes are vegan apart from 2 and there's a fantastic selection of biscuits, cookies, slices of cake, flapjacks and mini bakes. Apparently soon to be serving toasties too. Chilled friendly atmosphere in a lovely independent bookshop. Actively encouraged to take your time, read a book and enjoy your drink lots of loose leaf teas too. Thoroughly enjoyed my coffee break this morning.

Was really surprised to find such a range of vegan cakes available. Both that I tried were delicious. The staff were really friendly and I loved being able to support an independent business as they are few and far between in Woking.
