"We were big fans of Mad Cucumber and regular patrons for years but unfortunately this cafe has lost its shine. I 'll start by saying that I know things are tough for small businesses rising energy costs, rents etc. However, you still need to stay competitive. We would love to go to MC more but our visits have dwindled due to it no longer providing acceptable value for money. It costs more now for two of us to eat there than it used to cost for a family of three. In fact, the prices are now very close to those of Twelve a few doors down which is a vegan restaurant (serving more high end meals) compared to Mad Cucumber, which is a cafe. We periodically return, in the hope that things have improved but each time we leave feeling hungry and short changed. The last time we went we had a mac 'n Cheese which cost £9. But the portion size was teeny. It was almost starter sized or what you 'd give a young child. I had falafel with rice. A few tiny falafels and a teensy mound of rice (couldn 't have been more than a spoonful or two). We literally finished eating in around eight minutes. There is no excuse for this. Rice and pasta are cheap, especially when bought wholesale. It doesn 't cost a lot more to add a few more decent sized spoonfuls. I actually replicated the Mac 'n Cheese myself for my family a few nights later, using vegan cheese, nooch, coconut milk, stock and pasta. The whole thing, for a family of three, cost under £6, and we had a huge serving each. When customers feel short changed they go elsewhere. And I 'm not sure the managers of MC are fully appreciating this. Since this place opened, most cafes and restaurants now offer vegan options. Many have dedicated vegan menus. You can now go to Cuckoos or Acado Lounge or Cozy Club or The Greenwood Tree in Lymington or The Little Teapot in Romsey or Bosconova and find a wider vegan selection than MC, a dedicated vegan eatery, now offers. And the prices and serving sizes are better in all those places. Vegan food is no longer hard to find and whereas MC used to provide something vegans might struggle to get elsewhere, they are now up against these other businesses who 've widened their repertoire, whilst Mad 's menu seems to have dwindled. In the past, there were hearty enchiladas, garlic bread etc. We would LOVE to become regulars again and give a dedicated vegan business our hard earned cash. So I really hope the new management reads this review in the spirit in which it 's intended. When customers speak, listen. Other people are clearly having the same issues with cost and serving size. I would hazard that it 's more profitable to put a bit more on a plate than to not and lose custom. Widen your offerings too do an all day breakfast (that 's really popular and other cafes do this. You shouldn 't be able to get an all day vegan breakfast in non vegan cafes but not here). Do jacket potatoes, buddha bowls. Do a LARGE bowl of soup with a generous serving of roll. When you do something on toast or sourdough (like your jolly carrox which costs £8..20) give two slices of bread. £8.20 is a huge amount to pay for a single slice of bread with a bit of carrot on it. Put your shakes and iced coffees into slightly larger glasses. There are ways for restaurants to give a little more (which makes a big difference to the customer in terms of satisfaction) without it costing them a huge amount more. These tweaks would make a big difference. And if MC can 't reduce their prices, then they need to make sure their servings and what they offer is worth what they 're charging."

Food was tasty overall. Nice smoothies and milkshakes. We would have liked the staff to be a bit more smiley and welcoming.

Gorgeous vegan food. Reasonably priced, unfortunately a long wait to get in, but if somewhere has a queue out there door, it shows how good the food is x

This must be the best breakfast in Bournemouth ... And it's vegan. They make excellent coffee. I really like the porridge, but the pancakes are good too. Worth coming to Bournemouth for!

Good value, wholesome, very tasty food and drinks. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Tasteful decor. For me this is the best vegan restaurant in Bournemouth and I don't understand the hype of other places. My very fussy daughter loves it too Visualizza piatti

We didn’t know where to go for breakfast on a Saturday morning and stumbled across this place on Google Maps! So glad we did. The place is beautiful inside, staff were very friendly. The Mad Breakfast was amazing and so tasty. Very good prices too and huge portions! Shall be back!

a delightful, natural-looking coffee shop. came in for a coffee and cake and was not dissapointed. i’d like to preface the fact that i am not vegan, but the banana bread was the best i have ever had. staff were welcoming and, as i mentioned previously, the place is very nicely decorated. thank you!

Came with my kids and 3 other adults. 3 of the adults wanted avocado madness and they didn’t have so we ended up with wedges as no options for us to eat. The kids and one other adult had the pesto pasta and Mac n cheese kids meal but that amount was what my kids would have eaten as toddlers not 7 year old boys. I now need to go and cook them a second lunch. Visualizza piatti

I treated myself to a pay day lunch for one here and it was a lovely experience. I had a falafel bowl and a sparkling elderflower drink. The portion size was pretty big but I have a large appetite so it suited me well! : The service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was calm and cosy. I'd had a takeaway tofu wrap around 6 months before which was delicious but this was my first time having a sit down lunch I will definitely be back. Thank you, Mad Cucumber!

Be kind to everyone is printed on the wall. HA! That certainly starts with the humans handing you their money! The portions of food are minuscule and we felt royally shafted at extortionate prices. This was reinforced when we saw staff bring out their food bowls stuffed to the brim. If you can go when staff are eating you’ll see how much they have on their plates/bowls compared to you the paying customer. And the bowls are small don’t let the photos deceive you. The rice was so hot in places I’d swear it had been microwaved as it burnt my mouth. I’ve cooked rice in a rice cooker and have in the past used a saucepan to steam on the hob and I never got it that hot! There is no atmosphere in th...
