Vegan Vice - Cambridge

The place is a bit of a style mix, with some punk elements, some 80s retro and some American diner thrown in. The burgers were really interesting vegan options, not the usual replacements and since everything on the menu is good for vegs I would totally recommend checking it out if you are looking for the vice option of food.

Took about 45 minutes to get our food Saturday lunchtime because there was only one chef in the kitchen. The staff did let us know in advance though. I wish I could say the food was worth the wait, but it really wasn 't. The plain burger was... plain. If the bun had been a bit flatter, you could 've given me this burger and told me it was the vegan Mcdonald 's burger and I would 've believed you. Same anaemic iceberg lettuce, same fluorescent yellow American mustard, token slice of tomato and pickle. The patty was non memorable so at least it can 't have been that bad I guess. The chicken strips were just ok. Too spongy, not enough texture/flake. The batter was nice and crisp but it had some strange seasoning in it. The chips were the best part, although they were also spiced a bit strangely. Tasted almost as if they sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. I struggled to finish my burger tbh and neither me nor my boyfriend wanted the last chicken strip. I also don 't love that everything is served in disposable takeaway containers, made it feel even cheaper. Worst of all, the music in this place absolutely did my head in. It 's not just obnoxiously loud, but that specific style of beach/club music with thumping bass and annoying beeping ? sounds at least at the time we were there . My boyfriend later called it food for people with child palate and that 's 100% correct. That friend everyone has who will only eat white bread and spaghetti O 's, they 'll probably love the food here. My conclusion is, why would you ever go here if you could go to Doppelganger across town?

Popped in after walking past a few times and being intrigued by the outside decor. Only came in for a quick pint after uni as it’s perfectly situated by ARU. I have worked in pubs for 6+ years now and manage a bar myself and can say with confidence I won’t be returning. Charging London prices for a beer that tasted like sparkling water is not okay, whether it’s because there was water left in the lines after cleaning or something else but I have never had a more tasteless lager in my life. Either way, it shouldn’t have happened. Didn’t bother staying for food and found another venue to enjoy an actual beer at. As the other reviews say and I endorse this, the toilets are poorly kept, urinals were leaking and the tap was hanging on to the sink by a thread. It’s a shame because there is clearly a lot of potential here but something has gone very wrong by along the line. The look of the rock and metal themed nights looks fun.

Serving staff forgot our drinks and didn’t bring cutlery. Chips were over salted, chicken strips coating was good but overall they weren’t that hot. Average vegan food which is overpriced given its quality and overall service experience. I don’t blame the staff, I blame the management for failing to equip them properly. Just go to Doppleganger.

We went here recently and ordered the burgers and milkshakes. They were amazing. Great vegan food and good atmosphere
