An award-winning vegan café has announced it will be closing after five years of "struggle and anguish". The owner of Eat Your Greens in Totterdown has called time on their café after spending all their savings and not being able to pay themselves a wage for two months in a bid to save the business.
Owner and chef Babs Greaves opened the plant-based cafe on Wells Road in 2018, quickly attracting customers for its brunches and Sunday roasts using seasonal ingredients. The café will be ceasing its brunch service on Saturday (July 8) after a "very quiet few months".
In a statement shared on Instagram, Babs said the café had "absorbed the rising costs of the last year for too long now". "The business just can’t take the financial hit anymore. We can’t afford to be empty," the post read.
