Trendy venue and good food - Edit
We booked a table for early Saturday evening. There happened to be a festival on that day so it was very busy but the staff were excellent in still making sure we could have the table and order food. We ordered baos and a burger which were good.

Great Brunch - Edit
Came here for brunch, loads of vegan options and lovely vibes on a Saturday morning. The vegan pancakes were light and fluffy, and a great portion for the full vegan breakfast. Great value!

Really nice food but such a long time waiting, about an hour. Very cold in November, felt like sitting outside.

Had the mushrooms on toast, one of the best things I've had for brunch before, flavours were so good and mushrooms were lovely and crispy. My brother had the full breakfast which had a great range of elements

Nice place for brunch - Edit
This place was lovely and was pleased that they are dog friendly too.

Fake meat butties - Edit
This place is cool, for sure, but unless your tastes are fake meats and bread based dinners, there is little on the menu to suit.
Read moreMore of a grab and run rather than a destination to enjoy food.

Nice but small portions - Edit
Came for brunch and had the breakfast burrito. It was fine, but not that filling, could have eaten two. Flat white was nice. Nice to sit outside in the sunshine

Disappointing - Edit
Went to Hyde park book club after hearing so many good reviews.
Read moreThere wasn’t as many options as I thought when I looked at the menu and the options didn’t excite me.
I ordered the vegan hash and we waited for 30 minutes for it to come.
When it came, it was uncooked potatoes with dry lentils on top and some uncooked spinach.
It said on the menu like there would come with a sauce, but there was non at all. It was all very dry and hard.
The cutlery also had a really bad wet dog smell. Also very small portions.

Pros: Cool atmosphere

Hyde and Seek - Edit
We were really excited to try HPBC after reading some rave reviews and it didn't disappoint. When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff and decided to sit outside to be amongst the nice vibe that was evident. From the menu we ordered the facon bagel with roasted cherry tomatoes, spinach and salsa verde and the chicken and avocado bagel with rocket and salsa verde mayo. Both of the bagels were fresh and flavourful and the facon and chicken each had a great texture. The staff even provided a kids bagel for a small charge for our son, which was a nice touch. Definitely a place to visit.

Not bad food, strange atmosphere. - Edit
Nice space but not the friendliest staff, focused more on image than food quality so when we had the brownie here it was dried out because it had been sat on the counter uncovered. I do love that they do vegan hot chocolate though.

Best ‘chicken’ ever! - Edit
Lovely space, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The vegan chicken sandwich is seriously amazing if you’re into your fake meats. Both specials at the time of my visit were vegan and you can make changes to some of the main menu (all vegetarian) to make them vegan.

"Chicken" sandwich was amazing - Edit
My partner (veggie) and I (vegan) dropped by and had a bite to eat in the l sunny seating area outfront. I had the "chicken" which was outstanding and using olive bread just nicely finished it off.
Read moreWhile I agree there wasn't much, the food they had was fresh, well put together and delicious.
Toilets, however, are disgusting... Highly recommended holding it!
Pros: chicken sandwich!
Cons: toilets 🤮

Nice little place for a coffee and cake. About half the menu is vegan. Not all the vegan cakes were labelled so good to ask. Friendly staff. The “beef” is delish.
