Quick info
About Cafe Vegu
On 70 High St in Lewes, Cafe Vegu is a cafe serving on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. The menu of eighteen dishes includes Budae Toast, Bibimbap, and Bulgogi Deopbap, alongside a Kimcheeze toastie that appears regularly on the board. Hobak Jeon and Kimchi Jeon round out the savory options, while a Dubu Jorim Ciabatta sits among the sandwich choices. Coffee comes with oat milk as the default, and a black sesame latte appears as a recurring drink alongside the espresso range. A bakery and cake selection sits alongside the coffee drinks for those stopping in outside mealtimes. The cafe opens daily but only during the day, so evening visits aren't an option. The menu changes on Mondays, giving regulars a different lineup to start the week.

Customer Review Summary
The kimcheeze toastie draws repeat praise, described as flavoursome and perfectly toasted, with the black sesame latte mentioned close behind as exceptional. Oat milk as the standard coffee option and a cozy, friendly feel also stand out. One reviewer with a milk allergy found the black Americano burnt tasting and the rocky road unpleasant enough to leave unfinished, preferring cafes with better vegan options.

“Such a beautiful cafe, the staff are so lovely and the bakery selection is great. I had the kimcheeze toastie and black sesame latte. Would definitely recommend !”

“Delightful cafe with a lovely friendly feel, great range of delicious food and drinks offered. I visited twice one weekend because it was so good. Oat milk is standard for coffee which is a sustainable approach, wish all cafe’s did this. Coffee was delicious and the matcha looked great, will have to try next time.”

“A must-visit in Lewes. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is welcoming and friendly. Food was delicious, and the black sesame latte was truly exceptional. I will definitely come back next time I’m in Lewes!”

“As a milk allergy sufferer, I was looking forward to a coffee and cake here on our visit to Lewes. Sadly, it was disappointing. My black Americano had little taste beyond burnt, and the rocky road was also quite disgusting - so much so that my partner didn't finish theirs. Their other cakes might be better, but sadly we were quite disappointed. The cappuccino my partner had was better, but not great. There are other coffee cafes that serve vegan cakes, and I'd look at one of those the next time we're in Lewes. Not sure if it makes a difference, but we were there on a Monday when there's a different menu.”
