Really lovely cafe with plenty of vegan options! I’ve been to Influence a few times now and they’re always spot on with their food. It’s always a treat to see the doggies too :)
Came hear for a lunch whilst out in town a little busy when I arrived although there were two tables at the back free which I took one. Staff were nice, I got the pancakes, bacon and maple syrup and also got a lemon cake. The pancakes were good, my only gripe from the visit was that the lemon cake was tiny for the price I paid for it. Being a cake connoisseur I have been to a few cafe and cake shops in town and this was one of the more smaller portion cakes. Otherwise it was a good experience. I also came here as part of certain banks shop small offer.
a good cafe with lots of food options and especially delicious cakes. some menu items are nicer than others (presentation can be a bit lacking) and service can be a little slow at times but it is still an enjoyable time. very inclusive for all dietary needs!
Great little diner. Food is fantastic, their focaccia bread is the best I’ve tasted. Eaten here a few times now and food has always been excellent. Coffee was lovely. Friendly service too. Well worth a visit (and there’s a room upstairs if the ground floor looks busy).
We went on good friday for brunch, the music being played sounded funky so we wanted in. Sadly they had no coffee- luckily we drink tea so we had 2 green teas which were lovely and we had vegan tofu scrambled eggs and banna bread with fruit. All really tasty, staff were really friendy and attentive and oo i loved the decor.
Staff is extremely friendly, approachable and helpful. They served me with a big smile in this faces what makes a huge difference.
I have eaten a influence XXL and was delicious, they have a hand made coleslaw and the bread, sausage, bacon and onions makes a great combination.
I will definitely come back.
I wouldn't know what the food tastes like, as we waited over 10 minutes for someone to approach and take our order.
This never happened, so we left. 4 waitresses, not really a big place either.
Decided to try for breakfast, looked nice. Not busy , so sat down at a table. Was completely ignored for 15 minutes so left to go elsewhere (there was only two others in there when I arrived, not including the two staff). Not a great experience.
