Cute cafes & coffee stains

Living away from home and in a new town comes with a lot of new experiences one of them being finding cute and quirky cafes and restaurants that you wouldn't find anywhere else.

My friend, Abbie who is vegan found it online when searching for vegan cafes near us and was firstly intrigued by their name 'Om is where the heart is' this also had me intrigued as I was firstly thinking it's called this because when you eat you chew like 'om nom nom' but in fact I was wrong and it is called this because it is a vegan cafe with a yoga studio up stairs and apparently the word 'om' is associated with yoga when you are working out, very good 

marketing if you ask me!

We didn't actually get to see the yoga studio as we were too hungry to even think about taking a look and instead got seated and read through the very lengthy menu!
After we had all looked through the 181787 pages that were filled with scrumptious sounding vegan and non-vegan foods we took in the surroundings which were so niche and different! They had flowers hanging on the wall in milk jars and a feature wall which is very Instagramable hint hint, check out my Instagram to see more pictures.

The place was rather small with only a couple of seating available but this is usually typical of cafes and made the atmosphere very warm and homely.

After taking what we thought was enough pictures our food arrived and I was literally drooling when the waiter put it down on the table, it looked delicious.

We all got some form of avocado incorporated into our  meal but I got an avacado and bacon sandwich on sourdough bread with cheesy fries, which I know totally defeats the purpose of going to a vegan cafe but I did think the sandwich would be a little to plain for my liking so opted to get bacon with it.

Abbie, is in fact the only one out of the three of us who is vegan so went for a veggie wrap which was a wrap loaded with veggies (obviously) and hummus!

They cater to everyone's needs offering gluten free bread for anyone who needs/wants it.

After we had all filled our bellies until we couldn't fill them anymore and drank our lattes or in my case poured half of it on my self, typical Katie, we headed out into the little town of Slaithwaite to do some exploring and see what the town had to offer.

It was a rather chilly day and none of us dressed appropriately so we didn't go too deep into the streets and stuck to the main road and ended up going into a few charity shops for a bit of a gander but in my case ended up doing a photo shoot with the beautiful scenes we had the chance to admire.

After our little walk burning off all those calories we had just eaten we were shattered and decided it was time to head back home for a nap.

It was such a fun day spending time with friends and doing something different we wouldn't usually do!

Also, I believe it is really important to support local businesses such as this one and help people succeed in doing what they love. Local coffee shops are run by people in your community and care about it's people. The owners of the cafe were so kind and made us feel at home catering to our every need. I know it wasn't a lot but when my friend asked if it was possible to have cheese on her fries there was no questions about it she could have cheese on her fries, in other chain restaurants they'd have to double check with the chefs first and even then they could possibly say no! So help a friend and support independent companies you won't regret it.

Thank you for reading.
See you soon.
