An absolute treat!

I had 40 minutes before my connecting train at 5.40pm. Found this place, 2 minutes walk away from the station. Got an Aubergine Parmigiana to take away, it came with a mixed salad with a garlic and oil dressing, and they ran out of sweet potato, so the lady cooked some plantain to accompany. Also bought a slice of chocolate cake and a croissant, because why not. Ate the meal on the train home, and it was heavenly!! I would definitely order that again and again! It reminded me of a real favourite of mine, Moussaka. So good!

Pros: Used cardboard takeaway boxes, paper bag, Recycled plastic salad pot, Wooden cutlery

the best food I’ve had in a long time

I went out of my way to visit this little cafe when I had to swap trains on the way home from Gatwick airport. I was NOT disappointed. I eat out a lot and sometimes I can be a little disappointed especially when I think I could do better myself, also if it is expensive. This meal (aubergine parmigiana) was so delicious I wish I had asked for the recipe. I’m sure it would win over the omnivores too. It was very reasonably priced the woman made the food with love and it is very cute inside. Very happy customer

Pros: delicious food, reasonably priced, good location

Cons: none

Very high standards, all the food is great

A small cafe with great English breakfast, cheap coffee and (vegan!!!) croissants. Very highly recommended. The staff are lovely and most food is gluten free.

Pros: Deserts, Plantains, Staff

nothing special :-/

I was a bit disappointed, after the many good reviews I expected a lot more :-(
Had a not very good coffee and a coconut-chocolate bar which was very hard, very sweet and not very tasty

Fantastic!!

I love this little cafe and restaurant! It took me a little bit of time to find it but it's not hard - go out of the station at the main exit (towards Brighton Yard.) Walk out and to the left and go down and you will see it on the left, it is actually under the station. I tried the vegan breakfast which was amazing, especially as it was all healthy with tofu and veggies rather than fake meat. They had lots of cakes which looked very appetising and I will go back to try them. It's a small place but operates well in the space. Love it, especially since there aren't that many all vegan places in South London.

Pros: All vegan!, Great food

Cons: Bit small

Aubergine Parmagiana to die for!

Small but appetizing menu in a cozy nook under the station. The portion of paramagiana was generous and delicious, and the service was warm, welcoming and personal. I can’t wait to head back!

Not bad at all

Hurray something in Clapham area! I have been here only once for breakfast which was delicious and coffee not bad but place is very tiny only with two tables and few seats by the window (i think). Stuff is really friendly. I didn’t have any cakes so can’t talk about it. They should do a bit advertising as it’s easy to just pass without even knowing about this small cafe. Which is shame. We need more in Clapham area

Perfect

I don't have much to add to the other reviews. The all day breakfast is delicious - love the scrambled tofu - and there's plenty of options for meals and desserts.

The staff are friendly, it's nice and cosy inside and it's really convenient for Clapham Junction station.

Pros: Delicious food, Nice and cosy, Friendly staff and good value

Delicious food, lovely waitstaff

Met a lovely waitress and had a great conversation. She was very bubbly and generous. She made me a delicious vegan sausage, salad and avocado bagel and was kind enough to give me a side of the delicious scrambled tofu and the sweet potato wedges. Highly recommend as all food is vegan and there are a selection of snack drinks and some warm food: usually a curry with sides, an all day breakfast, a pie and salad or a bagel.

Pros: all vegan, friendly staff, near train station

Cons: could have a few more warm meal options
