This cafe is exceptional. Serving a menu of healthy and delicious vegetarian breakfast/lunch dishes it never disappoints. The owners have experience in some great restaurants and it shows, with well designed plates using high quality ingredients. Some of the dishes change monthly based on seasonality and it's always a treat to try the new offerings. Jars of homemade pickles and ferments bubble away on the shelves and add a twist to the dishes (some of these are available for sale - the fermented chilli sauce is fantastic). Look out for the tarts made by Tess which appear occasionally - she is a seriously good pastry chef! Sweet treats are great, I love the dark chocolate and cherry cookies and the coconut and orange macaroons. Coffee is very good (beans from Allpress). Always a warm and friendly welcome from Danielle behind the counter. Great for gluten free options.

We were staying around the corner from Helma during our week in London. What a find!!! We stopped by every day. From the pastries to the porridge to the cheesalicious toasties, everything was amazing. We even got quite a few recs from the owner which were incredible. Thanks for everything!
