Wow, what a gem! I'd been craving a goooooood vegan burger for days and randomly came across this place today. I thought, why not, let's give it a go. Incredible find! The food was delicious, wholesome, and moreish. I had the Fonz burger with fries - the flavours were amazingly balanced and paired perfectly. This is now my favourite (vegan) burger spot in London. I'll definitely be back soon!

Long live the waiting room! Great vegan junky type food with different flavours. Honestly, had the poutine for the first time the other day ans can't believe I've been sleeping on it, so good. Our dog is welcome here too which is a plus. Great soft drinks selection and the coffee is also good so can't complain! Chick'n'lickn bagel every time.

Such a cute café, really nice vibe, but the food! The food!! The Caeser salad was perfect and shared the chicken bagel and the spicy sausage bagel, chicken was a little tastier but everything was 10/10 and I will be returning very soon
