As veganism is becoming more mainstream, no wonder barely a week goes by without a new vegan cafe hitting our highstreets!
Interest in veganism increased a lot in the five years between 2014 and 2019, according to Google trends, with Cardiff being the fourth most popular city for mainstream vegan cafes in 2019. It now gets almost four times more interest than vegetarian and gluten-free searches.
This trend research explains the number of vegan cafes and restaurants that continue to pop up around the UK.
“Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose,” says The Vegan Society.
