Hidden gem - Edit
Admittedly, this was a little out of our way during our trip to London, but so worth it! One of my favourite breakfasts ever! We tried the full brekkie, golden American pancakes and savoy garlic pancakes. Each dish was presented beautifully and had so much flavour we'd never experienced before, including eggy avocado. The pancake stacks were impressive and very filling - we all were very happy after our breakfast here!
Read moreThe two guys running the place were super friendly, and it had a fun vibe. Even if you're not nearby, I'd recommend going out of your way to try their brunch! I hope to be back soon to try all their other dishes!
Pros: Amazing flavours, Friendly staff

the most delicious breakfast - Edit
THE most yummy plant based breakfast I’ve ever had. Had someone that wasn’t vegan with me too, and he also loved his breakfast! I had the omelet and it was incredible. Would and have recommended this place to people already and only just finished eating!

Don’t miss this place! - Edit
Wow!!! Do not be deceived by the coffee shop exterior. The food in this place is AMAZING!!! The chef here is highly skilled. The omelette was incredible, whether you’re vegan or not is irrelevant. The buttery, melt-in-the mouth dish is such a pleasure, with every bite. The truffle mushrooms on sourdough was also incredible. This place is a reason to live in Putney!! 100%

Not bad! - Edit
Food was fresh, nice presentation, good atmosphere, friendly service. My omelet was way too salty, however, and the matcha is unfortunately not an excellent quality matcha, if that’s your thing. A bit pricey for what it was, but that’s to be expected. A decent spot to try out if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t make an effort to return.
Read morePros: Fresh, Wholesome
Cons: Far too salty, Matcha not great quality

Friendly staff, average food - Edit
Was a bit disappointed with the food quality. It did not taste that nice. Matcha Latte was very sweet for some reason, I couldn't finish it. The place has a nice feel to it and the people working there are very friendly, but good could be better.

Fantastic - Edit
Really lucky to be able to park round the corner, could see Pinch with their colourful frontage so turned off just before.
Read moreThere is a table at ground level but the main dining area and the toilet are downstairs. The dining area is colourful with many beautiful works of art. The toilet is shiny and new. The welcome and service was friendly and cheerful.
I had the omelette, what a taste sensation and beautiful to look at. Loved it.
B had the mushrooms on sourdough toast, it was tasty and looked great.
Really looking forward to visiting again when we’re back in London.

Excellent cafe - Edit
Both myself and my teenager loved this place. It was hard to choose what to eat as everything was appealing. I had the omelette and my teenager had the full breakfast. We both loved the food and want to come back to try the rest.

Superb brunch - Edit
The tofu omelette royale was one of the tastiest things I’ve eaten for a really long time! Enjoyed in the sunshine in the lovely wooden table seating area outside, and served by the friendliest people. 10/10 all round!

vegan food at its best! - Edit
Thank you Cuba, your food is imaginative and caters well for allergies and intolerance. Cuba made me a g/f pancake with portobello mushrooms and lots of green salad, topped with avocado. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The whole fish was bursting with flavour and nutrients. I tried both the special matcha and chai latte. Made on the premises from their own blend. The spinach, avocado and pistachio cake, was light and delicious. This is vegan food at its best!

Wonderful plant based cafe and gem - Edit
This place is fab and gutted it took me so long to try it. The green cake was awesome and healthy with spinach, avocado, and pistachio. The breakfast wrap was a treat too with an original basil chilli pesto. Nice latte as well that came with a laugh. The owner does everything here it looks like and couldn’t be nicer. There’s outdoor seating and compostable to go boxes. I will be back to try the croissants and more. I’m amazed I resisted getting more but I was on my bike and not easy to takeaway.
Read moreVisited again with my partner and loved it again. Great roasted aubergine open sandwich. Yummy beetroot latte and brownie which we got to take away.
New incredible menu. The eggs Benedict was out of this world with Kala namak making it taste so eggy. We both loved it and plan to go back next weekend. Just wish they were open on Sundays too so we could go more often.

Food sooooooo good - Edit
First time Pinch customers. Feels like you're in an office reception area because you basically are. But don't let that put you off. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. For two people, we shared the breakfast burrito and a couple of the half open sandwiches. So flavoursome and fresh tasting. Was so impressed. Yum!

Fantastic vegan lunch spot (pram friendly) - Edit
I found this cafe on HappyCow and was excited to try it out.
Read moreTheir lunch menu is broad but not too extensive, lots of options. I got the vegetable medley with a decaf iced latte (one of the best decafs I've had I thought it was caffeine)delicious!
I couldn't not get a dessert, so went with the brownie with the mousse and it was unreal and a big portion.
If I ever find myself in Tooting again this will be my first stop! Thank you 😊
Pros: Lots of options, Vegan desserts, Incredible coffee
Cons: None!

Absolutely loved it! - Edit
10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My sister and I popped in for breakfast this morning and tried the Avocado Sourdough Toast and the Pinch Signature Bean Burrito. Both were delicious and beautifully presented! We asked if we could get a few to-go items for our flights the next morning and the gentleman that helped us went way above and beyond, packaging our airplane meals with such extra care and even added some little surprise snacks! We were so happy and grateful. It was so nice to find a great vegan cafe with such excellent service. Thank you!!!

This is such a lovely local find.
Read moreMy partner had the grilled cheese sandwich with creamy guacamole and delicious melty vegan cheese- a VERY generous portion. I had the delicious breakfast wrap. Quirky and charming presentation of food, extremely friendly service and a lovely neighbourhood feel.
Also, a delicious looking selection of cakes - can't wait to try them on my next visit!
Overall, excellent value for money - a lovely little vegan café.

Great selection of healthy vegan food in a cosy environment. - Edit
This is THE vegan cafe in Tooting. Great choice of food. Definitely a place to bring carnist friends and family to show vegan food is amazing. You can grab a coffee or smoothie while you wait for the food or take it to go. The staff are friendly vegans, always up for a conversation. The head chef Kuba is fascinating and is super nice. Forget about Pret and Starbucks, come here! There is a pre-booked Sunday roast I hope to have someday, I’ll update this review when I try it. It’s cosy inside with tables, sofas and an outside area. There are board games and books as well.

Lovely little coffee shop that serves a great sunday roast! - Edit
We are regular (ish) Pinch customers but had their vegan sunday roast today for the first time - wow what a treat! The owner & staff are always so welcoming and the soundtrack is really varied - with some great tunes (without being at all intrusive). Lovely place to either grab a quick coffee and cake or hang out for a little while. It's a little oasis of calm, slightly off the main road and better for it. We can't recommend enough!

Excellent vegan spot in London! - Edit
The food here is wonderful! I had the all day breakfast wrap (£7), which was absolutely bursting with flavour without being too salty, which is sometimes what happens when they want to add extra taste. Not exactly sure how they did it, but I loved it! Really decent sized wrap too, I was worried I couldn't finish it as it was filly, but it was too tasty not to have it all!
Read moreI also had the Detox juice (£3.50), which had beetroot, carrots, apple and lemon in it. This was great and well balanced, none of the individual flavours were overpowering. This was served in a glass bottle, which is a nice touch as I know they try to use as little plastic as possible.
Lastly... their carrot cake is FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! I can't get enough of it! It's easily the best carrot cake I've had, vegan or otherwise. They use a lemon buttercream icing which really complements the cake well, along with the walnuts in it. Slice of cake was £4.50 which I thought was a bit much, but made sense when I tasted the cake itself. Definitely try this, along with the breakfast wrap.
All the food on the menu looked very appealing, so I think I'll have to go back to try. I thought the price was good value for the food I got, sometimes I think cafes can feel like you're paying too much money for what you're getting, but this seemed accurate. I'm local to the area so it was easy enough to find. I know it's a bit out of the way for some, but please pop this place on your list to try - it's worth the travel! And I met the owner, he was really lovely and friendly.
