Gallery Cafe - Hatfield

I am very excited about the new vegan café that has opened on the university campus. Located in Art Gallery Square, this small café offers a variety of food options. I enjoyed a cheese and onion panini, which had delicious cheese, as well as an oat milk hot chocolate. They also offer other sandwiches, pastries, cakes, and more. I will definitely be returning to try more items on their menu. The Cornish pasty was especially good, and the staff are friendly. The pistachio cake was also delicious. However, the café can be unreliable as it is occasionally closed outside of term time. Overall, a great addition to the campus with a fantastic current exhibition.

This petite café is no longer vegan. The pastries mostly contained dairy, and the sandwiches were all made with pork, beef, fish, cheese, and egg. They did have a vegan sausage roll, but overall, I will not be returning.

Update 05/03/2022: I also tried the cornish pasty, which was really good. The staff were very friendly. Update 19/03/2022: I indulged in the pistachio cake, which was absolutely delicious. The current exhibition at the art gallery is also fantastic. Update 20/05/2022: Unfortunately, the cafe has become unreliable as it has closed unexpectedly at times. I have had to discover other cafes on campus that are consistently open. It seems that the closure is due to staffing issues. This update has been provided by a previous reviewer on 2022-03-19.

I am thrilled about the new addition to the university campus - an all vegan café located in the campus art gallery. While small in size and with limited food options, I was still impressed by my experience. I tried a cheese and onion panini (the cheese melted well and tasted delicious) and an oat milk hot chocolate. In addition to these items, they offer a variety of milk options, sandwiches, pastries, cake, brownies, chia pots, soup, falafel, and hummus. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! I recently tried the Cornish pasty, which was really good, and the pistachio cake, which was delicious. The staff is friendly, and the current exhibition at the gallery is great. Unfortunately, the café is not a reliable option as it is now closed outside of term time, and even during term time, it may close occasionally due to staffing issues.
