Cafe Iguana is no more
Date: 2008-06-18
Cafe Iguana will not reopen. The fate of bar Iguana (which was never particularly veggie) is unknown.
The premises are being fitted out as a shop. The cafe was not great as it was overpriced and badly run, but it was friendly and it was veggie! So we are sad to see it go. It did a good trade despite such bad reviews and high prices, which goes to show that there's a strong market for a veggie cafe in Reading.
Good local alternatives include Aangan, Global Cafe - RISC and, further afield, The Red Lion.
