I have not been to Liverpool in many years and, if I am honest, I do not have any plans to visit in the near future.
That makes it all the more frustrating when I read about vegan hot spot The Vibe Plant Based Cafe because every word I see about this place makes me wish I could be there in person.

London, you are being completely spoiled this Bank Holiday weekend. Not one but two opportunities to shop directly from the fabulous vegan Mexican micro-bakery Pa’l Susto.
This small but mighty operation has carved out a name for itself with iconic conchas, rich tres leches cakes, and the sweetest little besos. They are the first vegan Mexican bakery of their kind in the UK and every time they appear it is exciting news!

Hey friends
For the past fifteen years some of you have been following me through ups and downs, through activism, celebrations, and also through my own personal challenges. One of the biggest struggles I have spoken openly about is compulsive eating disorder and the impact it has had on my health. This has never been easy to share, but honesty has always felt like the best way to stop myself carrying shame that doesn’t belong on my shoulders.
Just over a year ago I began using Mounjaro with medical support. In that time I have lost a significant amount of weight. The decision to make this change has been about more than numbers on a scale. My motivation is to protect both my physical and mental health, to do everything I can to avoid long term illnesses such as diabetes, and to reduce the chances of heart problems later in life. It has been a big adjustment, and I have tried to stay as transparent as possible on my blog, social channels, and podcast because I know many of you value that honesty and because it helps me feel less alone.
Now I find myself with a question for you. I am only one kilogram away from moving out of the obese category, according to NHS guidelines, and into the overweight category. I am not saying you will see me strutting down a Parisian catwalk anytime soon, but my appearance is already drastically different from how most of you have known me over the past few years and beyond.
That brings me to the name Fat Gay Vegan.
Do you all know that my husband is not from London?
Gil moved with me to the UK during COVID times and after a brief stint in Sheffield (huge culture shock to go from Mexico City to South Yorkshire in a lockdown!), we moved to London together.
During the past 4 years, I’ve been busy dragging him along to all of the vegan and plant-based establishments the city has to offer and today I’ve asked him to share his top spots with you.
If you wanna know what made his list, keep reading below.
