Disappointing & expensive

*ETA: Review below was my recent experience at the Covent Garden branch in Sept but perhaps it's because of Covid restrictions that the menu is so limited now. Other reviews mention totally different food*

I was really looking forward to trying this place but sadly I felt it didn't live up to the great reviews.

There's not much on the menu, 3 flavours of already mixed up raw fillings to choose from and you can have them as a salad, in a wrap or in a soup. We both tried different wraps and neither was that interesting. It wasn't awful, just "okay". My Middle Eastern tasted like the wrap from Pret if I'm honest, there was just more filling in it. You can add other stuff to your choice as an extra but none of it was inspiring. The starters listed mini versions of the same mixes and a few other things but we didn't try these. The best thing hands down was the tumeric latte, it was lush. Two wraps, a kombucha and 2 tumeric latte came to £46 though, definitely wayyyy too expensive.

If you just want a hot drink in a nice bright space, go for it, but there are plenty of better vegan options in Covent Garden to eat.

Pros: All vegan, Good location, Tumeric latte

Cons: Really expensive, Limited choice, Food just okay

Good food, interesting spot

The food is tasty and fresh, we had the cosmic burrito and the classic burger , it was good to eat something that you feel is not that processed! The staff was really nice, the only con was that there wasn’t much space at lunch time, it was completely packed!

Pros: Fresh food, Nice staff

Cons: A bit expensive, There’s not much space

Great staff

Friendly and accommodating staff that went out of their way to get us a window table.
The chocolate ecstasy shake thing (can’t remember its real name) alone is worth going here for😄

Lost its touch

Wild food cafe is under new management. Although the service is now better the quality is gone. Forget the juice menu, densely nutritional burgers or hand made gluten free bread packed with seeds. Welcome mass produced bead, burger patties that disintegrate a you are bringing them to your mouth and make your own juice out of a bowl with juts three things, I am not even sure if they were organic. There is no longer a reason to pay that kind of price.

Pros: Board specials, one was good, Location

Cons: Expensive , Quality has dropped , No longer nutritionally dense

Changed my mind about raw food

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the raw food as much as I did! I left feeling full and light. I even asked about their raw cooking class they offer because I'd love to get into it.

Beautiful Location with Unique Seasonal Food

Wholesome, plant-based, luxurious food in a lovely welcoming space (and friendly staff) overlooking a beautiful courtyard. We haven't found a more charming place to have top-notch vegan food that's flavorful, beautiful, and very unique. Highly recommend!

A bit hit and miss...

I actually ate here a little over a month ago (life got crazy), so I’m not sure if the menu is still the same. Most of my meal was delicious, which is what I expected from the reviews and the prices. The potatoes were great, the squash bruschetta was extremely tasty (although could really benefit from better labeling. I didn’t realize when they said it was gluten free that it’s actually a slab of squash instead of bread), the juice was mysterious and wonderful and the “cheesecake” was really exceptional, although it wasn’t at all the texture of cheesecake (it was much fluffier and lighter). The salad was...probably very good for me? It was a trial to eat it though and really let the rest of the meal down. Some of the leaves tasted fine, some of them were *extremely* bitter, and some of them had such tough stems that they were quite difficult to eat and I had to pick through it, munching off the tops of the leaves. I also never figured out if it was under-dressed, and the bitter leaves completely overwhelmed any other flavor, or if they had forgotten the dressing completely. I remember the description on the menu sounding really good, but it was actually just a handful of leaves hastily thrown into a bowl, with nothing else to it. I probably should have asked the waiter if it was supposed to be like that, but I didn’t want to make a fuss 😅 everything else was good though, and the staff were nice.

Pros: Entirely vegan, Creative and mostly very good, Nice staff and very cute location

Cons: Practically inedible salad, Very expensive

Wild Food Cafe

Wild Food Cafe is a cute, cozy cafe offering some aesthetically pleasing vegan food.

For some reason, I didn't feel like the menu was very extensive, in fact it was a bit light. However, I wasn't starving and the "cauliflower wings" happened to be just the right size and hit the spot. I understand they were trying to be fancy with the flavors, but I could have done without the nori, which I picked off as it didn't seem to fit the dish.

Please revert back to previous concept

Extremely disappointing that the concept and menu has changed. It used to be very delicious and innovative. The new items on menu however were uninspiring (burger) and tasted like a bad mash of leftover pulp from the juicer.

Pros: Kind and nice staff

Cons: Terrible new menu

Disappointed

We really need good vegan restaurants in central London. Waitress was stressed and offish. The manager totally disinterested. The burger was dry and missing the advertised almond cheese. Hard work getting that corrected (and they tried to charge us for it). Was told we could only get one glass of white wine and the red wine was sold out too. Had to ask three times for the bill. Funny how standing up and putting on coats speeds that up. And then it was completely wrong. Won't go back.

Pros: Vegan in central London

Cons: Expensive for what you get, Food dry and uninspiring, Unfriendly, uninviting service

Disappointing

Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. Felt like we were ignored for about 15 minutes after we were seated. I had a jackfruit and pickled red cabbage sandwich with kale chips. The kale chips were ok however the sandwich was vile, red cabbage pickle stuff overpowered everything else, the bread was rock solid and the sandwich was luke warm. It was also very expensive for what it was. Vat was added after as was a 12.5% service charge. I definitely won’t be going back and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone
