Faux

Doesn't live up to Insta-hype. Overpriced and stale sandwiches. Downhill. I used to go here all the time under the former, original management when the fresh counter had so much more, friendly interactions and fresh meatballs/mince. This week, I went in for a last-minute sandwich as they always look so good on their IG, but felt utterly cheated in paying 6 for a very dry, hardly-filled salami and pesto sandwich. You're better off getting a meal deal from Co-op for what I got... Seitan and bread were dry, paired with a leaf and a smidge of pesto. Gutted. Based on their lunch offering (8!), Faux can't hope to be a viable repeat plant-based go-to...which is a shame as it was always so busy a year ago and tied in so nicely to the scene of Independents in Sherwood. I like to support local, but Faux is trading on that goodwill a little too much based on my experience forgetting that supermarkets are now in this game with better convenience products. Faux is way over-priced and just not fresh or substantial. Faux is best as a re-seller of other national plant-based brands, so if you want your fancy cheezes, go here, but if you want feeding, get a better lunch elsewhere.

Definitely a place to visit! Amazing sandwiches, "meat" slices, and a good selection of cheeses. My favourite vegan cheese is Honestly Tasty, especially the Brie and Camerbert. I'm not vegan or plant based, but I prefer the cheese mentioned above over animal cheese. The price of the food at Faux is a little pricey, so a visit there is a treat for me.
