Vemillion

the vegan options here aren't an afterthought. places that actually think through their plant-based menu tend to get the drinks right too, and vemillion, sitting in chineham shopping centre off the a33, has built a following that keeps coming back for a reason. if you're plant-based or just plant-curious, this is the kind of spot where you don't have to ask three questions before ordering a coffee. basingstoke doesn't have an oversupply of independent specialty coffee, so when something holds this level of local loyalty in a retail centre location, that's not nothing. chineham itself is a quieter corner of the town, which makes vemillion a practical stop rather than a destination detour. start with whatever oat-based drink is on the board.
