Contribute Feedback What HitchinGannet likes about Chia Naturally Healthy:
I guess I fall well outside the target demographic as I'm not vegan, or young, and I'm a bloke, but on a sunny Sunday morning I was tempted to check out what has been done with this handsome and historic corner site just off Market Place, particularly after its previous short-lived incarnation as a waffle shop had so obviously failed to find a market.

What ero96 doesn't like about Chia Naturally Healthy:
I had the soup for lunch which was very tasty but it had FAR too many pumpkin seeds in it! Every spoonful felt like 20% soup and 80% pumpkin seeds! Would be good if they went easy on the pumpkin seeds next time also had some vegan chocolate cake which was delicious.Great to have a vegan cafe in Hitchin and glad it’s dog friendly too. Lovely decor inside, perfect spot for people watching. Friendly service though was a... View all feedback.
Absolutely love going here for food, beautifully served, great healthy food and fast service. Would definitely recommend.
This is a fantastic vegan spot that will certainly have food you enjoy whether you follow the plant based diet or not. I regularly enjoy the meals on offer at chia, and even better, the cakes! I would recommend the pancakes and the nachos, as well as the fruit crumble slices. There is always a warm atmosphere inside chia and the staff are always friendly. You can see they work hard to make the place as lovely as it is!
I have been visiting Chia since they opened on the other side of the churchyard. It’s a fantastic business despite being a bit pricy, but as everything is plant based and so yummy it’s worth the extra cost. However we went for breakfast at the weekend and the filth was shocking. The floor clearly had not been swept. The benches have “slat gaps” and they were full of food debris and dirt. The upright surface of the bar under the coffee machine had mud smears on it. Given we went at about 10am I was shocked. It wouldn’t have been good at the end of the day but it just looked like the cleaning had not been done. Thoroughly disappointed and will definitely not be rushing back.
This is the first time I have visited and I will be back. I had a brunch with a friend she had the cheesy melt and I had the mushroom melt. Both were delicious and surprisingly good, mainly as I am looking for a great vegan experience and this could be it..
I popped in today to grab a late lunch at 2.30. There were no clean tables and the staff were more interested in taking photos of food. I had to sit at a table full of dirty dishes went and ordered my lunch and a bottle of water. It took ages to come out and although the table next to me was ‘cleaned’ in that time mine was not. I say cleaned they removed the dirty dishes but didn’t wipe it down. When my food at last came out I had to ask for my water. Again they ‘cleaned’ the table. I had no napkins so had to get up and find myself some. I use to like going in for lentil Dahl for my lunch, which has been removed from the menu. I had the loaded nachos they were ok nothing to write home about. Will not be going back.
