The BEST sandwiches in London - Edit
I cannot stress enough how good Embrace Cafe is. Really good coffee, delicious pastries, and the best sandwiches I have had in London. The vegan mozzarella and mock prosciutto is incredible.

Incredible food reasonably priced - Edit
The sandwiches are amazing. They have home made cheese which is unbelievable. Even down to the bread is great. If you have it take in the side salads alone are worth it. Great coffee too

Off the beaten track & well worth a visit - Edit
Excellent find. We went to Embrace for Friday lunch, really really good authentic fresh healthy Vegan food and great coffee. Lovely owner, great service, good indoor seating with a few outside tables too. Quite road with free parking at weekends I think.

Italian touch - Edit
Away from the main drag in a nice neighbourhood. We had parmigiana ciabatta and no tuna panini. They make their own ‘cheese’ and the owner clearly cares about the food, location and customers.

"I mean really out of this world" - Edit
The food was lovely, the vegan mozzarella was something else. The owners couldn't have been more accommodating considering the time we rocked up; really apologetic that they had been so busy and sold out of food (surely a good sign), but created a delight for us and offered as another apology a truly tastebud caressing tiramisu affogato, I mean really out of this world.
Read moreWe travelled from up North for business, so cant frequent as often as we would like, but well worth the walk from Archway tube station. We will be back to this charming cafe!

Delicious - Edit
Such a lovely little all vegan cafe. I had a wonderful sausage, bacon and cheese baguette (the chef makes his own cheese) with an amazing side salad. The flavours of everything were great. My husband had a rustic tomato sauce pasta. There were so many cakes so it would have been rude not to have a dessert! I had a cinnamon iced yum-yum (yum yum indeed) and my husband had a chocolate roll which he raved about (and he’s not vegan!). The owners were so nice and we had a little chat about being vegan and cooking. Wished I lived locally (although I would probably put on a couple of stones from all the gorgeous food and cakes!!). My photo isn’t great as I had to take a bite but you get the idea. Oh and it is very reasonable as well. Go visit!!

The sign above says cappuchino but it is the embrace cafe. All plant based but you wouldn’t know unless you asked. The homemade vegan feta cheese was excellent as was my cake
