Nothing vegan - Edit
There were no vegan options when we went. We didnt try the coffee, as there was nothing to eat.

Not amazing - Edit
If you're veggie, this is probably a great place for you but if you're vegan, better go elsewhere.
Read moreThe place itself is really nice and staff are lovely, but the vegan options aren't great. There is a veggie breakfast that's available as a vegan option so I ordered that, assuming that the non vegan things (halloumi and fried egg) would be replaced by something or that I would get more of the other things on the plate. This wasn't the case unfortunately as I did not have anything that my vegetarian sister in law didn't have, my plate was just missing the cheese and egg. For the same price (£16), that seems a bit unreasonable... There was also no vegan butter for me to put on my sourdough so I mashed my half an avocado onto it, having to ask for lemon juice to make it more tasty. The mushrooms were the best part of it to be honest, they were nicely seasoned.
I enjoyed my iced mocha (they have dark chocolate powder to make it vegan) and my husband said his Bircher Müsli was alright.

Tasty vegan brunch - Edit
We ordered the Half Cup which had a vegan version. Hash browns, avocado tomatoes, Portobello mushroom, baked beans and sourdough toast.
Read moreWe asked if vegan version had anything in addition and advised we could order extra from a couple of elements so we had more sourdough & avocado. Probably the best vegan breakfast styled meal I’ve had - so often disappointed with establishments just taking away the non vegan elements and charging same price.
We had a very good server but probably best to confirm the vegan additions if you go here.
And great coffee also.

Just okay - Edit
A little disappointed with the options at half cup - not a lot of choice. Then when the food came it felt a bit uncooked and tasteless.

Vegan options but... - Edit
I was really looking forward to this. However, the vegan breakfast was a bit of toast (no vegan butter) two flat mushrooms, two spoonfuls of beans and two hash browns. The non veg option has the above with meat for the same price. Saldy not impressed.

Good coffee, not much vegan options - Edit
You have to wait in line to be seated. I don’t like oats and did not feel for a salad as breakfast.

Delicious food, some vegan options, nice atmosphere - Edit
Take your time or: better reserve a table, if possible. There are some vegan options and the food is very delicious. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are filled with a good atmosphere and nice paintings (the one in King's Cross).

It’ll do - Edit
I stayed around the corner from here while in London for 3 days. There are only 3 vegan breakfast options on the menu, but they can veganise the Shakshuka. None of them are out of this world but they’re ok. It’s a cute place but it’s not a must try.
Read morePros: Good location
Cons: Not many options

OK for breakfast - Edit
I came here for breakfast but didn't really find any great alternatives only something which was vegetarian and they adapted it. It would be nice if they could offer a vegan breakfast
Read morePros: Vegan options at least, Nice atmosphere , Will adapt
Cons: Expensive for the portion size, More vegan options

Cute but pricey - Edit
Came a while ago with friends for breakfast and like the decor and service. This time I came around 2pm, quite hungry. Their vegan lunch options are more limited. I had the grilled aubergine dish which was a bit small and bland. I had to add quite a lot of salt and pepper to make the dish tastier, even though it looked great. It really should come with bread - they charged me £2 for 2 slices of sourdough bread! They had 2 options of vegan pastries so I went for the pistachio and rose one, which was very nice.
Read moreMore of a coffee place with a couple of nice sweet treats than a proper lunch spot. Staff is friendly and efficient.
Pros: Lovely decor , Jugs of mint infused water, Good sweet things and coffee
Cons: Pricey (especially the bread!), Not much choice for vegans

Can only review the drinks - Edit
The cafe was really busy so opted for a hot drink to go. They had a delish dark hot choc (72%) with three choices of milk (oat, almond, coconut). They’d sold out of vegan pastries/cakes.
Read morePros: Some vegan options, Quirky space, Close to parks & squares to sit
Cons: Sold out of vegan pastries etc, Might struggle to get a seat inside
