***Buckwheat*** is primarily composed of complex carbs but also contains proteins and various minerals and antioxidants. It has a good amount of fibre and resistant starches, which can help improve colon health and the nutritional value of buckwheat is considerably higher than that of many other grains. We use buckwheat to make blinis and johnny-cakes to be used as gluten-free alternatives for our burgers, wraps, and avo toast. Also we use it instead of bulgar wheat in our tabbouleh - not only does it give the tabbouleh a fab flavour twist, but using this alternative ensures we keep all our mezze dishes on the gluten-free thing! Combining the toasted buckwheat with a generous helping of fresh parsley, mint, red onion, tomato, and lemon juice makes a light, energising, and refreshing complement to our wraps and Mezze.

Due to a technical error (okay - human error!), we've missed a few days of the 'Veganuary 19 days of nutritional foods'. I'll post several over the next couple of days to catch up! So here's...
***Tempeh*** probably originates from Indonesia, although there are many similar fermented soya foods from around the Asian continent (fermented foods are mega-important in your diet... more about this later). Tempeh is very popular amongst long standing vegetarians and vegans but a...lso great for people new to these diets, as it serves as a fab meat replacement - due to its status as a complete protein source. Being a complete protein source means that it contains every amino acid necessary to support a vegetarian or vegan diet. Tempeh has a diversity of vitamins and minerals, including: iron; manganese; phosphorus; magnesium; and calcium, which all support many of our body's systems. Because it's fermented tempeh also contains probiotics, which can promote our digestive health as well as improve immune function, mental health, and blood cholesterol levels. Tempeh draws in flavour really well, so is superb for marinades. We marinate our tempeh in fab stuff for our Smokey Tempeh Wrap and we also use it in our Black Bean Burger to give it great texture, loads of flavour (umami included), whilst ensuring those devouring it also get all their aminos!

Here we are on day 4 our #Veganuary 19 days of excellent ingredients... ***Pomegranate*** has high levels of antioxidants and the seeds contain Punicalagins and Punicic acid, both of which are unique substances that provide you with loads of positive health benefits. They are anti-inflammatory which help to protect us from the risks of various diseases and as a bonus pomegranates are also rich in dietary nitrates, which have been shown to improve our blood flow and boost our mental and physical perfor- mance. In the cafe we use pomegranates abundantly to garnish the salads in our Mezze and we also drizzle pomegranate molasses on our Tempeh and Falafel wraps adding an addictively tart but sweet zing! :)

Day 3! ***Avocados*** contain a variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals! They are also a healthy source of fat that can help us to absorb more of the nutrient value of other plant foods within our diet. We love our Avocados on sourdough toast drizzled with lemon juice, tamari, sesame seeds, himalayan salt, black pepper and finished with a generous sprinkling of Sumac (amongst other secret components!) . Ideal for breakfast or a light lunch option, these flavours complement each other beautifully, giving the Avocado an exotic and zingy twist. 🥑😋😃🥑

Continuing our '19 days of Veganuary New Beginnings'...
Day 2 ***Beetroot*** is a good source of Vitamin C, which, as well as contributing to a strong immune system, also supports collagen production, wound healing, and iron absorption. Potassium is also found in this unique purple plant, which helps our nerves and muscles to function properly. Other minerals that give credit to why the Beet gains its powerful ‘super-food status’ include calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, ...phosphorous, sodium, zinc, copper, and selenium. This root veg really is the plant that keeps on giving, which is why we love our ***Beetroot Burger*** so much! We serve it with our homemade mild or hot sauce and lemony tofu mayonnaise, inside a toasted ciabatta bun, complete with a side of rainbow slaw, and a choice of homemade chips, tabbouleh, or potato salad. It is definitely one of our dishes that we are most proud to serve :)

We we're planning to launch our new breakfast this morning, ah... tempeh supply probs put a stop to that. So instead we hijacked some of the Quesadilla components and added some extras to put together this 'Tofos Rancheros' Mexican breakfast instead! So it's: Refried Beans; Mexican Oregano Packed Ghost Chilli Tomato Sauce; Guacamole; Tofu Sour Cream; Lime Zest; Slivers of Capsicum; Cider Vinegar Pickled Red Onions; and a Tofu 'Egg' - all served on a Toasted Tortilla, with l...oads of fresh Lime Juice! It's all pretty yummster and will be available tomorrow also at Dandelion Cafe. 😋😋😋🥑🥑🥑🙂🙂🙂
N.B. I'm not usually one for imitating non-vegan foods,but the tofu 'egg' is worth it, if only for comedy value... Still - it tastes fantastic and is contains great healthy ingredients like Milled Flax and Turmeric 😉

Yum! Blueberry and Coconut #Cake in this morning at Dandelion Cafe!

lovely place with nice interior! The food was great and the strawberry and cream cake was even better. Will be back again for sure !!!!

Wow the food was so good, better than I expected. I used to be vegan but not now, I thought I might find the food a bit health-foody, but I didn't, it was delicious! Only thing I could suggest to improve would be something on the menu that is a bit plainer for little kids. My three year old loved the lemon cupcake.

When I got to the cafe there was a power cut! It actually looked lovely with all the candles and somehow I still got very well looked after. Simple menu but food far from dull! I had the Broccoli/edamame with noodles which was bursting with flavour and freshness. I won't mention the BANOFFI PIE! which was amazing. Food for the soul, really lovely staff too. Hoping it becomes a permanent feature!!! (Please?)

The husband and I popped in today for the first time. WOW!!

The food was amazing, freshly prepared and so tasty.

And the Lemon Cream Cake? Oh....my......word!!!

I like my cakes and this one is now right at the top of my list now �

Lovely, friendly staff.

We WILL be back xx

The dahl was just perfect yesterday, left me feeling full, but light, just what I needed to keep me going on a busy day! A touch of raw brownie to finish it off and my taste buds were delighted! thank you;)

So happy to have this lovely place to eat locally xx

Our first visit, lovely food. Polite friendly staff. Will definitely be back again.

Matcha latte for drink, Tofos main dish with lemon and raspberry cake to finish with complimentary cucumber water! Highly recommend this jewel of a cafe �

Lovely place and friendly staff. Lovely place to relax. The food was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend.

I had lunch at The Dandelion Cafe today and on entry I immediately felt the positive energy of the space. I do not normally leave reviews however I feel this is necessary. I had a falafel wrap and macha and raspberry cheese cake. It was lovely and the service was impeccable. The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and gave my daughter (a vegan virgin) ideas on restaurants to visit.



We will definitely be visiting again in the near future and I will be recommending to friends and family..

Having heard excellent reviews, my wife and I popped down from Skipton to sample Dandelion's menu. What a superb place this is!

The shared mezze platter was exceptional in terms of quantity, freshness and flavour, the chocolate cake to follow to die for. Great food, efficient service, relaxed atmosphere and better than reasonable pricing; can't recommend Dandelion enough as a go to place when visiting Saltaire.

Had an amazing lunch here yesterday! The staff were lovely, and we are looking forward to visiting again!

Enjoyed a yummy vegan meal today .. really tasty so will definitely be visiting again soon .. highly recommend ���

Dropped in for lunch on a recommendation.superb food, jazz and good books to read. A fantastic yoga studio as well.wish I lived near by. Great vibe.go support them.Namaste

Dropped in for a quick look about. The Lemon and Raspberry cake was out of this world and the milk free hot chocolate with a few Dandelion secret ingredients was the best I've ever had. Chilled atmosphere with friendly efficient service. Quality at a very good price.

Dandelion cafe is such a lovely and special place. The atmosphere is light and positive and the stuff is very nice. The raw brownie and the cocoa were delicious. We are looking forward to get in touch more in the near future :)

Bright airy cafe, served by a lovely young lady who was working her first shift there - she recommended the rice noodles and dhal which were lovely, we also had the tempeh wrap - very tasty. The only issue was the fact the electricity had gone off which I guess was more of an inconvenience to the poor chefs in the kitchen than us!

Been today for lunch after a friend told me about a new vegan place in town and was not disappointed ! My husband got the Dahl with brown rice and chutney and I had falafel with a mezze of hummus and veggie bits. Fruit smoothies lovely, coffee great, and I have a slice of lemon drizzle cake which I've saved for tomorrow �� I'll be back....

As an ex air hostess, I've eaten at veggie eateries from Bali to New York and back. Dandelion Cafe have done a great job of pulling together worldly flavours on a short yet potent menu. The owner is clearly following his passion and it shows in the careful presentation of the food as well as the cosy atmosphere of the place. :)
