My fave vegan restaurant in London - Edit
This is the best vegan place in London, hands down!!!!
Read moreObsessed with their mushroom dishes and drinks (the Lions mane hot chocolate is amazing) ☺️
Also you definitely have to try the Oyster mushroom wings. They are just too good!
Also, they have board games so it’s fun to play them while waiting for the food ☺️
One million stars/10
Pros: Amazing food, Amazing drinks , Really cool atmosphere

Baby, Love Shack - Edit
Tons of items, all very indulgent. Big flavours: sticky, saucy. Bring a bib.
Read moreWe came for the tempeh caesar salad and pickle-back shots, and our friend swears by their burgers. We’ve also heard there’s a fun open-mic every Saturday night.
They have refaced their menu to be less American-style, which I’ve not tried, but historically, the portions were generous and great for sharing. Looking forward to sampling the new bites!
Pros: Flavour town. Slinging consistently tasty plates., Friendly staff., Really down to earth, the space is funky.
Cons: The best Caesar salad ceases to exist! , Limited beer selection.
loveshack
Hey Dee, Ah yes sadly our famous Caesar has been removed from the menu. We have a new fantastic chef who has revamped and made the menu reflect more of his personality. We hope that wont deter you from visiting us again! We like to think all of your other points are very valid and good reasons for you to swing by again! Take care! And thanks for taking the time to review! X

I went a while ago and had an Asian salad which I wasn’t impressed with, but I went for breakfast recently and enjoyed it so much

… tin roof, rusty. - Edit
Visited the Love Shack for a smoothie and to scope out the menu for dinner for another day.
Read moreThe place is really chilled. The staff friendly and helpful. There are plenty of internal and external areas which are quirky and fun spaces.
The smoothies were delicious although I couldn’t really tell the difference between the Coconuttalina and the Mush-Love.
Overall the Love Shack has a gorgeous vibe and a calmness about the place.
Would I go back - Yes and I’ll be eating next time. I’d also go just to relax and let the world go by.
Would I recommend - I’d insist you do go
Well done the Love Shack

Wow Mark, Fab photos and detailed reviews make our day! Cheers for this! So pleased you love what we do!
Read moreThe two smoothies have the same base so do taste similar! The main difference is the superfoods that we add to them so the benefits for your body will be what differs!
We look forward to seeing you again! X

Sleepy sundays - Edit
Good food, I had the flatbread, which was delicious, and ceasar salad, though there was only a couple of pieces of tempeh in it unfortunately, but still tasty, lovely with capers. The staff were friendly and chatty, but we were waiting a long time for our order to be taken and to get the bill. I wouldn't reccomend if you were in a hurry.
Read moreLove the decoration of the place.
Pros: Lots of options, Chilled atmosphere, Cool decor
Cons: Very slow service, Understaffed

Hey Jessica, Thanks so much for taking time to review and leave these lovely photos. We appreciate your feedback about the Caesar! Hoping you also mentioned it to our staff on the day so they could fix it for you! We hope you'll be back to see us again! X

We went there shortly before the kitchen closed and they were so nice. I was really happy with the Caesar‘s salad, unfortunately my friend didn’t love the burger. The atmosphere was amazing. Price was okay.

Hey Pia, cheers for your feedback here! We definitely love to accommodate our lovely customers, like yourselves where we can! A shame your friend didn't enjoy their burger, but happy you liked the salad. We have a whole new chef and new menu in place now so maybe you'll drop by and give us another try? We are confident you'll love what we do! X

Up and downs - Edit
I always happened to eat there in the winter and it is definitely not warm place.
Read moreGreat location with garden.
The menu is pretty good unfortunately the quality is very up and down.
Liked the "fish" and chips and no sin duck, had the whole lotta love breakfast and was not so impressed.
09/22
Came around 5, the kitchen is open from 6pm the floor staff made me aware of it, haven't been served until past 6 although they new i'm there but i guess they were just too busy chatting.
Food arrived quickly, all together starters and mains. And then it took about another hour to get bill or speak to the floor again.
Had the shawarma and padron peppers, both tasting good, with a beer for about £23.5 not the cheapest, not bad tho. Apart from the service it's ok.
Updated from previous review on 2022-03-16
Pros: location
loveshack
Hey there!! We are saddened that our service didn't meet your or our own standards. We hold ourselves to high standards and believe that this isn't representative of us typically so hope you won't judge us too harshly on it! Regarding our evening service changeover, the team are told when to start taking orders once the kitchen is ready so that may explain the slight delay there.
Read moreSince your visit, we have had a turnover of staff and a new menu put in place so we hope you'll give us another try to make things right! Take care and all the best!! X

portions could be a little bigger
Read morePros: all vegan, great options, lovely staff
Cons: make the portions a little larger , provide more dessert options
loveshack
Hey Adrianna, thanks so much for this review!!
Read moreOur portion sizes are based on everyone having a couple starters to share, a main and dessert so we wouldn't want to create portions that are too big and would leave food waste as we are very eco forward. We hope you understand and that it doesn't deter you from coming to see us again!
We have also had a whole menu revamp since you came to see us last, so hoping you'll be happier with our portions this time round! Take Care! X

Mauvaise expérience - Edit
Nous n'avons pris qu'à boire et pourtant, ça suffira pour ne plus me donner envie de revenir. Un capuccino arrivé tiède et j'ai attendu 20 minutes pour un bête smoothie.
Read moreJamais vu ça. Le serveur était à côté de ses pompes. On m'annonce qu'il faut nettoyer les blenders. Je souhaite partir, finalement on me le sert à emporter. Même la paille a été une difficulté. En plus, ça goûtait trop le beurre de cacahuetes et la poudre de cacao.
Déçue.
Pros: La déco
Cons: Le service, Smoothie pas terrible
loveshack
Je sais que beaucoup de temps s'est écoulé depuis cet avis, mais nous sommes désolés que vous ayez ressenti cela à propos de votre smoothie et de l'attente. Nous sommes une très petite équipe sans beaucoup de mélangeurs disponibles, ils doivent donc être nettoyés entre les utilisations. Nous espérons que vous ne nous jugerez pas trop sévèrement à ce sujet et que vous reviendrez peut-être essayer notre nourriture à la place. Sinon, nous comprenons. Prends soin de toi! X

It was very busy, service reflected that but definitely worth the wait. Best to book a table beforehand. #Veganuary

Loved eating at The Love Shack - Edit
The Love Shack was really interesting.
Read moreIt had a casual vibe.
It was a fun place where you could hang out with friends.
It was also cosy enough to meet someone for a quiet catch up because it's spacious enough to allow for that.
The food was awesome!
