Yum! - Edit
After months of waiting to go to cafe Van Gogh for breakfast I finally had a free Saturday morning to try their full English. The sausage was probably the nicest vegan sausage I’ve ever had ( next time I’ll get two) and I loved their potatoes. Reasonably priced, lovely service and I will be back.

Great little spot - Edit
Really love this place, the food here is always great and the atmosphere is lovely. I love sitting outside on a nice day or upstairs if the weather is a bit grim, it's very cosy.

Oasis - Edit
Cafe Van Gogh is a fantastic place. It has a very nice atmosphere, lovely staff and a chef that really knows what she is doing! We spend hours there and thus managed to try dishes both from the lunch and the dinner menu! Everything was excellent and full of flavour! A real oasis in London! We’ll be back!

Amazing food in a brilliant building - Edit
The cafe is fully vegan and has great food! The space is also great. Can get busy at the weekends but the staff are always happy to find you a table (even if you have to wait a little while)

Reopened, with friendly and hearty food - Edit
After hearing about this place for a while, my first time at Cafe Van Gough was right after they reopened.
Read moreThe team was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were late and they helpfully kept the table for us after we called.
They were knowledgeable about the food and helped me with the gluten free options. We had the tofu steak, cheese board and the taco starter between us. Would have had the cauliflower cheese if that hadn’t ran out (we heard good things!).
To finish the meal we had the Tiramisu which was made GF for us. Really tasty food, especially the tiramisu, which left us feeling stuffed and happy. The venue and atmosphere were also great - we’ll definitely be back!
Pros: Friendly staff, Tasty food, It’s a community interest company

Ok but not amazing - Edit
My husband and I made a trip here on my birthday on a recommendation from a friend and high reviews. I had the side of mac and cheese (again on recommendation) and hubby had the burger of the day. In all honesty neither of us were blown away by the food and he has certainly tried a lot of vegan burgers in his time! Nice little spot and perhaps worth a visit if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t go out my way to go there again.

Amazing place that does important work - Edit
Not only is the place vegan but social enterprise too. Win-win! The menu is tasty and the place is very cute, Van Gogh style. I liked the English breakfast and the burger. The daily specials are nice too. Worth visiting.

Been twice - only ok - Edit
Been twice and didn’t really enjoy the full english. On second visit I had the burger and it was good, or third visit I had burger and it was good but the sausage roll was crap. Okay if you are in the area but not worth going out of your way to eat here.

Lots of wonderful things to eat! - Edit
What a gorgeous place to spend the evening, so welcoming and such a lovely vibe. The Christmas menu was delicious, especially the celeriac fondue would have been happy to have had this as a main course. Portions were so generous we couldn’t eat it all!
