Nutritional/Price ratio is through the roof - Edit
If I’d live nearby, it would be difficult not to eat here daily. Great concept, nutritional & cheap.

Worth the visit - Edit
This place is absolutely superb and they do so much for the community, it’s worth the visit. I only spent £7.05 on their regular size lunch option and a coffee and I’m full. They also had iced coffee, iced tea, ice cream and cakes available. You just need to go into the building and head upstairs to the next level (they also have lifts).

Lovely ice cream! - Edit
Staff was very friendly and a lovely vibe. Ice cream was well priced and tasty. Only complaint would be a small menu if you are planning to stay for lunch like me and my friend were going to do, but decided against it after not seeing anything in particular we wanted.

Had a main, dessert and chai when I visited. Homemade style food, nothing fancy, but good. Nice to have a break from rich restaurant style food. Chai was delicious. Love the concept

Great to be able to support this community cafe, which is just a short walk from King's Cross Station.
Read moreI had the creamy mushroom and cabbage stew (soya), with brown rice and mix vegetable salad, which was hearty and wholesome, and at just £5.85, real value for money.

Fantastic ice cream - Edit

Quaint cafe with a great initiative - Edit
Little cafe just behind St. Pancras so perfect for when waiting for a train. Freshly made food is out on the counter for you to see and choose and the prices are incredible. Cost £4.50 for 2 teas and an apple and rhubarb crumble with ice cream.

A really wholesome setup - Edit
Found in the library inside the Camden council office, you’ll find a counter offering a handful of home cooked food using unwanted items from the local area, along with hot drinks. All charged for less than it would cost to steal them it’s a really nice spot to get a cheap bite and a drink. We had some rhubarb and apple crumble with plum ice cream and it was superb. Really recommend coming here!
Read morePros: Insanely cheap, Wholesome
Cons: Limited options

Great concept - Edit
Thanks Happy Cow for letting me know about this hidden gem. A little tricky to find as it's within an office-y type building at St Pancras where you'd almost think you'd need a pass to be allowed through the door.
Read moreThankfully, the doorman was super helpful showing me where to go as this little cafe is an absolute treat. £1 soft serve in London! The staff were a delight.
