As they say in real estate: Location, Location, Location. While touring around London, I passed by a vegan café in an unlikely place; right under a rail station. Quaintly placed below the station’s bridge, The Fields Beneath is a phenomenal little spot to enjoy a coffee or latte and watch the world pass by.
I brought a non-vegan friend along with me to share in the experience (and so that I could secretly show him how amazing vegan food is) and he was blown away by the entire scene. This bustling little café was packed to the brim, whipping up plant-based milk lattes left and right. One of the café attendants put together some of their culinary specialties and we couldn’t believe the sight of everything when it arrived.
We started off with their mind-blowing sweet beet burrito and a veggie burger with homemade cinnamon applesauce on it. That’s right: applesauce. The food was phenomenally flavored, fresh as can be, and as unique as I’d ever seen. All coming out of a tiny kitchen under a bridge.
We finished up with a pumpkin chia pudding and the best turmeric latte that I’ve ever had and headed off to the city. The Fields Beneath left us both in a dream state and if you’re ever in London looking for a great and unexpected culinary experience, you know where to go.
As for my friend: he’s currently working on cutting dairy out of his diet and I personally think he’ll be vegan within a few months 🙂
