Visited this cafe recently and was glad I found it. Although it's tucked down an alley way it's definitely worth finding. A great range of vegetarian/vegan food and at reasonable prices. service was very quick even when the cafe was full. food was delicious. It's worth checking out the shop downstairs too...
I've travelled from preston a couple of times to eat here and it's never disappointed. The food is amazing, the staff are lovely and the cakes are to die for. My favourite place to eat.
One of my fave places to eat in Lancaster. Very vegan friendly, good food, good prices. Would highly recommend.
Six of us came for a small birthday lunch today and loved every second of it. The food was fresh, delicious and very well priced. I had the falafel & tzatziki with pitta and it was gorgeous :) most of my friends had the salad platter which went down really well, though another had the bean burger which she really liked. The wine was lovely and really reasonably priced too :) we sat outside in the walled area and was the ideal seating place for such a lovely day. I'll definitely be back! Thank you! :)
We had a cooked breakfast - one vegan, one veggie - I loved the smoked tofu! Good size portions, quick, friendly service. Went back in the afternoon for cake - less choice of vegan as they were close to closing but 3 choices is still pretty good! Will come again and recommend (the salads looked amazing)
Lovely lunch today at Whale Tail Café in Lancaster. Never been there before and I would highly recommend it. Vegetarian and Vegan dishes. Fabulous menu and plenty of choice. Family friendly and imaginative children's menu. Will definitely go back when in Lancaster again :)
Great place for gluten free food. Found it hard finding somewhere to eat in Lancaster but this place is perfect! :)
First place I ever went for food in Lancaster and is the high bench mark I set if your vegan / vegi or just like great food definitely worth a visit x
We popped into the café today for lunch for the first time with our children. Very busy (good sign), absolutely outstanding food and just a lovely atmosphere. Then visited the shop downstairs. Could not recommend it more highly!
I popped in yesterday after a friend recommended this place. I couldn't stop so asked if I could take out which they said yes to. It was around 12.30 the place was filling up fast. I ordered the falafels which came with salad and pitta. It was absolutely delicious and the turned my order around really quick as my parking time was running out. This place looks great and I'll be visiting again when I have so much more time on my hands 😊
Lovely little place. Lots of choices :) popped in for breakfast and was really impressed at all the gluten free options!
One of the best places I've been to since I moved to UK. Their food is amazing! I've had the best veggie burger here ��
Really enjoyed the seitan burger with garlic mayo today - this deserves to go on the regular menu!
Visited Lancaster after being in the lakes went for a wander and found this place! Food delicious husband is vegetarian I'm not but l love veggie food had the spicy bean burger lots of choice a very chilled out relaxed place staff lovely!
I am not vegan or local but everytime I visit Lancaster I eat here. This place does the most amazing, tasty and nutritious food, cake and coffees. I believe in respect and in respecting people's choices. I choose here!
Extremely tasty food. Would highly recommend to anyone :)
I popped in for an event here just before Christmas, I had a large pram with me and two other children. On finding the event was upstairs I consulted staff who were incredibly helpful and pleasant. Service was excellent and food/beverages delicious. Will be back and would definitely recommend.
Just love ,breakfast ,lunch and often take quiche home for tea staff are just amazing and kind ,love it 😍😍
Ate here twice this weekend. Friendly staff, great food and a chilled vibe even when it was rammed on Saturday afternoon.
I'm not vegetarian or vegan but the food here is fantastic!, i come here whenever im in lancaster. All home cooked so even being on a diet I know I'll get a good meal :)
Wow! I think I've just had the tastiest meal ever. Such a shame I live in Southport and we don't have a whaletail cafe!
Has to be my favourite place in Lancaster, great service and great atmosphere. The food here is amazing! I always come back ! :)
Been introduced to Whale tail cafe today by my friend
Lived here all my life and just found a gem !!
A lovely cafe ,great atmosphere , fab carrot cake and coffee !!!
First time here. Lovely food, nice atmosphere. Wish I'd known about it before.
Lovely food, loads of vegan options will certainly be visiting again!xxx
Great food as always in this bustling veggie/vegan cafe. Always a treat!
Another fabulous quiche with a lovely salad on the side and the last piece of cheesecake for me.
The staff were, as always, very friendly and welcoming xx
Great food and great service from nice people � Yum yum �
Been a regular customer for years ever since I discovered this hidden gem! And it is consistently fabulous service and incredible food! Sian, Tom and all the friendly staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. The Whaletail definitely make my transition to Veganism an incredibly easy thing to do. But whatever your dietary requirements you will leave a satisfied customer!
My favourite place to eat in lancaster. Such an ecletic mix of clientele and fabulous food x
Great atmosphere for relaxed dining! Friendly, helpful staff and a wide selection of meals, snacks and drinks �
Excellent food, we always come here whenever we are in Lancaster �
Absolutely amazing food; could not fault any of it. Perfection, even for a non veggie. You HAVE to try it, you won't be disappointed :)
Wonderful carrot, split pea and coconut soup followed by divine peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake... vegan heaven.
We visited early on a Saturday morning, so the atmosphere was, understandably, a little flat. However, the vegan full English breakfast was gorgeous! It even came with vegan black pudding, which was a 1st for us. Strangely, the toast came way before the meal and was cold, but that was it for any negatives. The space is set out with more formal eating tables but around the edges are sofas for more relaxed just drinks areas. To find the entrance is a little challenging as it is hidden from the main street. You also need to climb some stairs to get to it. But it is very much worth it.
It's a very serene place and the garden area is dog friendly so if you are a pet owner you can visit this cafe with your pet. The food is really good and served warm. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. They also help with any allergies, just let the staff know.
Torn between a late breakfast or an early lunch - opted for the Burger of the day (Mushroom & Leek Berliner Burger) Huge portions, great coffee, friendly and quick service. So pleased they open on a Monday b
Very nice place.
We wanted a fry up breakfast after a wedding the night before.. Stumbled across this without knowing it was a vegetarian cafe. We ordered 2 of the full breakfasts (still slightly unsure if it was meat-free... nothing indicated it on the menus but we put 2+2 together).
Breakfasts were served hot and tasty with very good coffee to pair. The sausages were especially great.
Service was good, friendly staff and nice music. All in all, 5* - will be back next time we're in Lancaster.
Lunchtime visit. Nice and busy great vegetarian/vegan menu. Highly recommended plenty of choice
Best cafe in the North of England. Absolutely fantastic food and service, always eat here when we're in the area.
We had our second visit to this delightful little gem of a cafe today. On both visits it was very pleasant and friendly service. The food came quickly and as before was consistently delicious. Always bustling which is lovely to see, I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat.
On a more personal note, due to dietary preferences it is comforting to know the menu is entirely available for myself and my partner. Best Veggie/Vegan spot in Lancaster easily and my new favourite cafe!
P.s we had the specials: Smoky cheeze lasagne and a Vegan Bacon Quiche Lorraine
This is my favorite place in Lancaster😍All food is good. Banana chocolate walnut cake sooo nice~date and pears slice fabulous as well!

We first visited the whaletail over twenty years ago, when there was very limited options for veggies. The whaletail was definitely a family favourite as our boys were growing up and now they have fled the nest, we are back to being twosome. In all this time the whaletail has gone from strength to strength in terms of decor and food. Fantastic veggie cafe and definitely worth popping off the M6 for a great veggie treat.
Had a really nice brunch here. Husband had a full breakfast and I had garlic mushrooms with tomato and avocado and a turmeric latte. All delicious. And got a cake to take away which I'm enjoying now. Would definitely come again, thank you!
