a great place to chill for an hour or two

This is a great place to be. From visiting there, when shopping with the children, for some great fruit smooties and homemade cookies for my two sons. To visiting there in the evening with my husband to enjoy the music and atmosphere.

Great food; whether it's going to be snacks or meals. Great drinks- home made smoothies & juices and the organic perry is fantastic.

A must place to go when visiting Camden

Pros: atmosphere, friendly staff, food & drink

Great atomoshpere, chilled and yummie food

A regular visitor to the InspiralLounge in Camden, I particularly like their relaxed atmosphere, regular but varying events and their raw chocolate truffles and vegan cake selection. Food and cakes change frequently, so even repeat visitors get to try new things. Their raw burger (with humous and salsa) is not only very healthy but also very yummie. The cafe gets quite busy in the evenings, especially if you happen to drop in when there's an event on and service can be a little slow. To be fair, that's often because the staff explain what food is on offer, what's in particular dishes etc. After they have successfully applied for an alcohol license, one no longer needs to order food just to have one of the alcoholic drinks on offer. I would encourage anyone that happens to be in Camden or vicinity to drop by and support this business.

Pros: Chilled out atmosphere, Good cake and choc selection, Nice drinks selection

Perfect

great food, the other reviews say it all. I just wanted to add my piece to say that this was a joy to visit. great atmosphere and lovely food. You can sit by the window and look out atthe peaceful camden lock on one side and then journey to the other side and see the bustle of camden town.

Pros: atmosphere, food great, good sounds

Pretty much hits all major bases

Turn right when you get out of Camden Town tube station, stay on the same side of the road and you'll reach it just before the road goes over Camden Lock. I think it is a wheelchair friendly entrance. Just inside the entrance there are stairs going down to another restaurant, by the Lock I think.
Bright and light in white, lime green with some brown wood furniture/ fittings. There is a sort of media station on the right side from which music is transmitted. Music artists, mostly DJs play there fairly regularly I think. There is internet access. There is wireless too. Tables are placed around and the back of the cafe has full length windows which look out on to the lock. There are lots of benches around there, absent of tables proper...There are magazines and books on shelves about for sale, ranging from the New Internalionalist to new age. CDs are also around for sale.
I went at 12.30pm on a week day and there were probably about five other people/units of people in there. I wonder what it is like on the weekends. I wonder if it is heaving with people hanging around..

I was the first to be served lunch from the food bar. I had a medium bowl of vegetable bake, steamed/ boiled vegetables and salads. The vegetable bake was scrumptious. The broccoli was a bit overcooked. The salads were fresh and healthy with varied vegetables, sprouts and grains. The food is organic. They serve small and large bowls also. There was also a yummy looking desert section of the bar and there are loads of blocks of chocolate around which you can buy.
There is also a lunch fridge with drinks and salads and sandwiches which you can grab for lunch - or whenever I guess.

Service was fine, by a Camdenite or someone who feels he is one anyway, I presume - dressed in the clothing of the genre of his choosing.

Value was pretty good.

For me this is a superstrong four. I am just a bit hesitant due to not seen it on weekends when it might be hugely busy also did the server handle money then sprinkle smthg on someone's food omitting to wash his hands? One of the spots on the first piece of cutlery I took wasn't clean, the other spots were watermarks.

Pros: Organic and pretty good value, location - not far from tube, great view, wireless

Cons: Maybe hygiene could improve a bit
