A retro pop-up spot for artisans and crafters to sell wares, plus a small sit-in café with revolving vendors for the likes of coffee, cakes and vegan food.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
A former ironmongers on Argyle Street, this tiny outlet specialises in responsibly sourced quality vegan and vegetarian food – with food and drink provided by a line-up of independent vendors. Interiors of exposed brick, wooden floors, roof rafters and bespoke tables built on wooden crates invoke that ultra-cool hipster vibe while a well-stocked carry-out counter is heaving with homemade goodies such as aubergine pakora, freshly prepared thick sandwiches, samosas, cakes and bright punchy salads. Lunchtime sees a steady stream of customers welcoming a sensibly priced and easily accessed veggie option. A BRT toastie is stuffed with strips of bacon substitute, fresh rocket, tomato and mashed avocado – a lively and filling lunch option especially when accompanied by the ethically sourced bright filtered coffee. The café also hopes to develop into a venue with its arty ambitions, promising upcoming workshops, theatre groups and a pop-up artist of the month.
