Great stack of Pancakes. Beware the wait

A lovely cute little cafe that has great staff and great food,band worth a visit.
Definitely get there early though. It was apparently full at 9am opening on Saturday.

When we arrived at 10, we were in a queue behind another couple and we're waiting about 15/20 mins before being sat. Then after that, a wave of people were then sat as everyone at opening left, but it did mean that the next people in line were waiting almost an hour until there was space, and we saw a few people give up.

There is only really space for maybe 15 people, but the food is stunning. We got both types of pancake stacks. Definitely preferred the sweet one. The sausage/bacon/waffle stack was good but not as good.

Pros: Pancakes, Atmosphere

Cons: Small space, Long queues who watch you

Lunch at Big Sister

We’ve been to Big Sister twice now, the food, service and atmosphere is fantastic and we can highly recommend going.
Every item on the menu has been top notch and worth every penny.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Service

Good but could be better

I know that this is a new-ish place so I hope that this review with some feedback points will help ☺️

Food: The food was good but not excellent, the pancakes could have done with more syrup at the bottom and some more flavours.

Drink: the cinnamon latte was FLAWLESS!

Interior: So cosy and pretty, but some of the tables were awkward to eat on and better to hanging out.

Logistics: Not great! I know that no bookings are allowed and that there must a reason for it, but to queue for one hour in the freezing cold is no fun. And it was sad to see some people who came to support the business having to leave.
Maybe something like a 1 hour limit per table could be introduced.

Altogether a solid place with the kindest staff!

Cozy gem with incredible food and heartwarming vibes ✨

I was very hungry (hadn’t eaten all day!) so I went all in with the Brooklyn Breakfast, apple cinnamon pancakes, and an iced chai and wow, everything was absolutely delicious! The presentation was immaculate you can tell the chef truly loves creating his food. I was so impressed by the attention to detail and care in every dish. Everything was beautifully seasoned, especially the scrambled tofu 😋 One small thing although it may just be me, I would have liked a little butter for the toast.

The café itself has such a calming, cozy feel low lighting, fairy lights, candles, comfy couch as well as tables and chairs, good low music, and even a well-stocked ladies’ bathroom (which I always appreciate!). When I first arrived, the only seating available was a couch with a low table, which I knew wouldn’t be comfortable for eating a full meal, but luckily by the time I returned from the toilet, one of just a few table and chairs had become free much more comfortable for dining. I got lucky going around 3pm on a Wednesday when it was nice and quiet, but it seems they’re usually busy and I can see why.

It was lovely chatting with the owners, who were so friendly and welcoming. They even gave me a slice of cake and a cookie to take home on the house which was such a sweet touch 🍰

Unfortunately, this isn’t their permanent location, so definitely visit while you can they’re not yet sure what will happen after their lease ends. I’ll be back as much as I can while they’re still around ❤️

English breakfast for royalty

Had an amazing vegan English breakfast here (small detail but I can’t have bread, so they offered to swap it for avocado for free, which was lovely). The staff was very pleasant and told us their story of how they got to set up the place in London. Lots of success for the future, had a great time here ✨

What a find!

They were very busy for Saturday brunch (queueing out of the door is always a good sign) but accommodated us and served us really quickly. Food was incredible!

Great ambience and friendly staff

I came for brunch and tried the savoury pancakes and waffles. The food was delicious, very flavoursome and the coffee was good too. A massive portion that I couldn’t finish! Lovely vibe and friendly staff

Wish the food was nicer

Really hate to write a lukewarm review, but we just didn’t like the food. The decor and ambience were lovely and the owner was super friendly. But the pancakes and the salad were sadly underwhelming and quite expensive. Maybe we picked badly but the pancakes were cold and not sweet enough, and the salad was 90% kale and a bit dry.

My other complaint is that the space felt very underutilised. There weren’t enough chairs for the number of customers and there was lots of space for more.

I guess it seemed like it had potential but just wasn’t quite there to be honest.

So Delicious!!

We absolutely fell in love with this cafe! The owners are the sweetest, the vibe is so cool and cozy, and the food is phenomenal!!! Even though London is full of vegan places to eat, we ended up going to Big Sister two days in a row 😋We tried to convince them to open a branch in Spain lol! Truly delicious food 💚

Pros: Delicious food, Cozy vibes, Friendly service

I really loved this awesome place.
Everything on the menu sounded sooo delicious, so i decided to take the Brooklyn BK and it tasted really good.
As a dessert a took the cheesecake, and i think it was one of the best cheesecake i've ever aten.
The staff was lovely and the atmosphere was very cozy.
It's a place you definitely have to visit!!

Original vegan brunch offerings

It looks like this is a French couple doing yummy breakfast and brunch dishes. The tower salee was delish with pancakes and a waffle, sausage, bacon, tamato, maple syrup, cheddar cheese, and crispy onions. More of a savory breakfast then combined with sweet. Old school vibes here. It feels like your living room from the 70s with some music from then too which I loved. The tiramisu was yummy. It seemed like Biscoff biscuits covered in coffee then cream and some other last touch. I don’t think they were adding service charge to the bill. I read or heard they are only here for 6 months but might stay if business is good. Check Google maps for their latest opening times as here it’s too slow updating.

Beautiful food

Lovely food, lovely staff. Beautiful presentation and definitely up there for serving the best hot drinks.

For anyone visiting, the owner is trying to change the hours, without much luck, on Happy Cow. They open at 9am, not 8am.

BIG Sister

This place is a winner all around. The presentation is stunning and the food is incredibly delicious. The best part is, the lovely owners. Apparently this is a temporary pop-up for six months, but there’s potential they could stay much longer than this if they get enough support from the community. Please check this place out. Just look at the beautiful pictures of my food, you won’t regret it! I spent less than 20 pounds, as the prices are very reasonable.

Vegan done well

I visited on the second day of opening after (excitingly) seeing it was coming on Instagram and it didn't disappoint. Pristine in presentation and taste for food and decor. It was hard to choose from the menu so will be back, again and again.

Pros: Menu - options and taste, Location, Friendly and talented owners
