Open mic night first Monday of the month. A lovely cafe, warm and friendly vibe. The menu looked v good, healthy and vegetarian. Would come back during the day and want to check out the garden.
Julia KDecember 3, 2014Love that they can make anything vegan & the portions are generous for an affordable price. I just wish they service was better...tables should be cleared and cleaned much faster (and more thoroughly)
Sarah BuiMay 15, 2016Great vegan brunch options. Full english breakfast and quesadilla on point! Will def come back to try the pancakes. Loved the matcha latte.
- hello_emilyNovember 9, 2014Cons - 15 min wait for coffee (it came after breakfast) & the food was served warm, not hot. Pros - the quesadilla & full English were both delicious! & the coffees were good & hot. Nice space too ☕️
MaríaNovember 14, 2015The music was a bit too loud and trashy, but the cakes were so good that provided me with the peacefulness I was craving. Plus a sugar overdose.
Hayley SparksJune 1, 2018Incredible English Breakfast! The tofu scramble was superbly spiced and I am in love with the little sausages!
Gelly BDecember 7, 2014Cosy cafe, full of people engaged in conversations. Ordered nut roast and jacket potato. Big and delicious portions :)
BediMarch 17, 2015Cosy atmosphere. Vegeterian/vegan selections are great. I got jacket potato \w beans & cheese, very good call.
Anami NguyenJune 18, 2015Love working here. Snickers bars are the bomb - and that is coming from someone who usually shuns sugar. Ah, it's good to sin. Also: vegan pizza!
Charming Bethnal Green cafe with delicious veggie/vegan food. The garden is a great spot on a summer weekend
Martin TiedemannJune 12, 201226 January: The Café is a pleasant oasis beside the York Hall Leisure Centre & the Museum of Childhood. It is run by St Margarets House Settlement, a charity. Serves good vegetarian food.
Love the breakfast, they have several vegan options like pancakes and a full English.
Great vegetarian and vegan food. Service might be slow when crowded but usually worth the wait. Nice front and back garden.
Marco SousaSeptember 6, 2014Sit outside reading a book with a nice flat white and squirrel friends. Lovely place.
Diana CostaApril 20, 2015Amazing and friendly vegan café. Portions are nice and filling at an affordable price.
Dona BeeDecember 29, 2011Try the vegan strawberry and chocolate squares for a treat you will love also if you're not vegan! Perfect before or after being at the nearby London Spa
Annie JonesSeptember 21, 2016Amazing vegan burger- good portion size! Nice juices and lovely coffee :)
Katie OswaltMay 22, 2017Always great! Love taking people here when they come visit. Also superb for working, but only a few plugs, be warned!
Akua Obeng-FrimpongJuly 21, 2012Their wraps are generous and filling. Order the Halloumi wrap with garlic or chilli sauce. The Falafel is fantastic too. Tasty veggie food! Read more
Jess ThompsonJanuary 14, 2018Now 100% vegan. Really good tasty food with fresh ingredients. Food is hearty without being stodgy.- Erica PradoJune 29, 2013The cafe is run by a charity and serves delicious vegetarian dishes. The back garden is beautiful and peaceful, specially in the summer.
Eating halloumi wrap while lazily flipping pages of a book, relaxed on their sofa is a pleasure of life. And then move to the bright patio when there's some work to be done
MissyOctober 21, 2015Such a cute little cafe that serves great coffee and lots of lovely healthy veggie options
The food is good but you'll come out stinking of vegetable oil, and also the woman who is always there on the weekend needs to learn some manners.
Gaia CionniniMay 3, 2014There is a lovely garden at the back, go there on a sunny day for breakfast.
If you're vegan, it can be one of the best options in East London. Great food and lovely staff.
Francesca MusacchioSeptember 7, 2014Vegetarian and vegan cafe/restaurant with lovely garden! Veg hamburgers are delicious :)
madzia edgeOctober 3, 2015I've tried burger there...nothing special,asked for dairy cheese,got vegan.Salad superpoor.Fries quite ok.Place seems cozy,staff friendly,coffee really good.Love them for having heinz ketchup!!
Pieter de MeerSeptember 12, 2015Great food and drinks. Fabulous juices and nice garden on the weekends.
Joe NixonAugust 9, 2014Sit in the garden in the back if it's sunny, and don't forget to check their specials!
Kal ChottaiFebruary 23, 2014Great vegetarian fare. With excellent gluten free options. Double brownie points!!
Nancy SalomoneAugust 19, 2014Tasty food and cosy environment. If they will improve the service and cleaning will be perfect.
- Love their vegan pizza margherita & all their sweet treats! Great people & space.
- Phil ClampSeptember 6, 2014Great pancakes with golden syrup. Cappuccino nice and strong but could have been foamier
Daniel JohnApril 26, 2019Nice outside garden, but slow service for a Sunday brunch and disappointing vegan full English breakfast, items overcooked, left out for too long and missing items.
EmeraldStreetJuly 21, 2011The cafe exhibits local artists' work, and opens onto a garden that makes it feel more country idyll than inner-city hangout. Read more
Their nachos are the close to the real thing. They at least have real fresh salsa not the typical "ketchup" salsa of London.
try the mushroom soup, also burritos are really good- possibly the cosiest vegan/vegetarian place in london
