Date & Apricot Flapjack
This has definitely become a favourite at The Veggie, we make it in thick moist slices which are a perfect partner to an Americano or Cappuccino. We usually have it on sale at the start of the weekend but it generally sells out pretty quickly. The next time you are passing the café call in and try some, if you are a flapjack fan you will not be disappointed!
