Ying Donnithorne, The Origin
Ying has been vegan for much of her adult life and in 2017, opened The Origin, which has become a very popular vegan café in St Albans. The Origin offers specialty teas and coffee and dedicated, pure vegan cuisine from a variety of European and Asian styles.
Ying is passionate about promoting healthy eating and takes great enjoyment when new non-plant-based customers come in and don’t even notice there isn’t diary or meat on the menu, and really enjoy their meal.
