Our Story

prosper vegan cafe ely

Hey! We’re Rach & Phil!

We’ve been the happiest little couple since since 2012. We currently live in Little Downham with our gorgeous pups (see below) and Phil’s lovely mum.

We opened Prosper because we had a desire to do something more for our community, feed people some delicious vegan food and make well-being more accessible for everyone.

When the opportunity came along, the timing was just perfect as Phil was about to enter into retirement from the fire service.

Our Amazing Team

We are proud to have the greatest team of humans with us here at Prosper. All of which were firstly customers of ours and loved what we do so much they applied to come on board at the first opportunity.


We are currently not actively recruiting… but why not pop in sometime and see what all the fuss is about?

The Prosper Pups

If the nourishing food, decadent cakes and best coffee in Ely wasn’t enough to tempt you through the doors…

Let us introduce you to our Customer Experience Specialists; Eric & Betty.

These outrageously cute miniature daschunds can be found most days at the coffee shop ensuring clients are satisfied with their service.

Their main roles include: calming cuddles, looking adorable, greeting clients, sniffing patrol, and crumb clear up.

You won’t get more attentive service anywhere else… We can practically guarantee it.

Great coffee, great food, great people.
