Overpriced and tiny

Had the avo on toast which was tasty but not very much avo and only one piece of toast for nearly £12. Added scrambled tofu and vegan sausage (£2.75 per sausage) which were both a bit oily.
They also charge 60p for non-dairy milk making the tiny flat white £4.20.

Fast serving, okay-good vegan English breakfast

The vegan English breakfast was good but contained mashed avocado instead of scrambled tofu and did not have any plant-based butter (instead had hummus). The potatoes were a bit bland, but I liked how they salted the tomato and mashed avocado. The sweet potato salad was great.

Good vegan breakfast

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime. We sat outside in the sunshine. We had two vegan breakfasts and some pancakes. The food was tasty, the portions were very large and the staff helpful. Very nice cafe.

Pros: Vegan breakfast , Helpful staff, Generous portions

Cons: Only one toilet, waited a long time to use

Good vegan breakfast

Enjoyed.
I arrived earlier than their advertised time (by 15 mins). Doors were open and they were working on setting up. They could have welcomed me in and let me sit down, but didn’t. Apart from that, thought it was a good place

Pros: Plenty of choice , Food tasty, Very good oat milk chai latte

Cons: Not great in first contact, Have been shortening opening hours recently

Amazing vegan English breakfast

As title mentioned I had the vegan English breakfast which was near perfection. Spinach & Avocado mash needed some salt otherwise everything was perfect.

Big vegan breakfast and pastry options

As title says, but veg sausage wasn't particularly great. But that might be just me, so im not leaving them a suggestion to use a different sausage

Pros: Big portion, Good dessert options

Great breakfast and lunch options

I had the falafel chickpea wrap and it tasted really great but it was also pretty expensive (~8£). They have multiple vegan options and they are all clearly labeled.

Traditional English breakfast

We got the vegan English breakfast and we enjoyed it. Service was super fast, even though the place was quite crowded. Reasonable prices for the good quantity of food.

Pros: Fast service , Cute venue , Close to Waterloo station

Amazing vegan breakfast

Great vegan breakfast with vegan sausage and scrambled tofu! The tofu could be even more amazing with black salt to make it taste a little eggy but it's great to see something different on the menu for once! I enjoyed my green smoothie and chocolate brownie too! Absolutely delicious.
