Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise healthy food that still tastes good, with several noting it is so well seasoned that no salt or sauce was needed. Named dishes include the all day breakfast with turkey bacon, scrambled eggs with a kale salad, a halloumi wrap, a peanut noodle bowl and banana bread. Close behind are the drinks, from a latte and flat white to an iced chai latte described as strong and not watered down. Fresh croissants, cake and pistachio energy balls also come up. Staff are called lovely, friendly and quick, and several describe quiet background music that suits working on a laptop, holding a conversation or having a casual meeting, with a plug socket and free Wi-Fi mentioned. One reviewer notes a small step to the accessible bathroom that needed a ramp placed over it. Two reviewers add that coffee arrives with a free cinnamon biscuit.

“Oh yeah I love this. Ordered the all day breakfast + turkey bacon. No salt needed, eggs were scrambled, fluffy and tender, turkey bacon was tender and tasty and the avacado and kale had a lovely dressing on it. Perfectly balanced and seasoned. Latte was lovely too, not terribly intense but didn't need my usual shot of vanilla/gingerbread or sugar. The free cinnamon biscuit was a nice touch. Service was prompt. There is some chill electronic music in the background and the atmosphere when I was there (2ish on a Thursday) was nice and quiet. Prices are fair for London. Free WiFi too and I got a plug socket so I could lock in and get some work done. Highly recommend if you're in the area; I'm just visiting for the day because it's near the hospital we're visiting.”

“Lovely cafe with great vegan options, I had a peanut noodle bowl. The coffee is great here, and comes with a complimentary cinnamon biscuit. Lovely staff and its wheelchair accessible (they have an accessible bathroom, but there's a small step to go to it, so you might need to ask for them to place the ramp over it). They have nice music playing quietly enough to easily have a conversation. accessible (they have an accessible bathroom, but there's a small step to go to it, so you might need to ask for them to place the ramp over it).
