Vegan Earth, Ayr

is Ayrshire鈥檚 first 100% plant-based caf茅. Whilst they may be gluten-free, egg-free and milk-free, their food is most definitely not taste-free. Vegan Earth has everything to tickle a vegan鈥檚 fancy, including buddha bowls, beetroot burgers and baked sweet potatoes. Just don鈥檛 get us started on their cakes. Because we鈥檒l start to drool. And, well, that鈥檚 rude. But when you taste their Carrot and Pistachio g芒teau, you鈥檒l know exactly what we mean. Queue drooling. Soz.

Pumpernickel, Dumfries   

is a family-run caf茅 serving the most authentic vegan and vegetarian food. Their name alone should be enough to tempt you through their doors. If you need more convincing, look no further than their vegan sticky toffee pudding. Oh. My. Days. For the savoury connoisseurs out there, head straight for their tofu curry. Do not pass go. Do not collect 拢200. It bursts with the most heavenly of flavours. De-lish!
