amazing quality raw food and drink - Edit
This place is all about the attention to detail - I haven't tried their food yet but if the quality and effort made in their drinks is anything to go by then it will be good. Had a green tea matcha with homemade almond milk which was made really well and very tasty. Also tried the protein milk (vegan) and their special drip coffee which takes days to drip through the special Japanese style machine they have. Love this place, quite expensive but you get the quality and excellent service.

Great breakfast - Edit
I had breakfast in Rawligion a few weeks ago and ate a guacamole sandwich (with "raw bread"), had a coconut smoothie, and a piece of an amazing chocolate cake. Staff was extremely friendly and helped me choosing what to get.
I guess it's a bit expensive (I paid about 13 pounds - the smoothie alone was about 6 pounds), but it's great!
Pros: Tasty and curious food, Friendly staff
Cons: Maybe a bit expensive?

great raw food to-go - Edit
I stopped in here on a recent trip to London and really enjoyed everything I tried. They have an interesting selection of cold pressed juices (though at least one was not vegan). Their cacao / medicinal balls were fantastic. Raw food items including sushi were great! Staff was super friendly and helpful.
Pros: great raw food to go, nice staff

Best cold coffee in town - Edit
Walked in one day, fell in love with it. It is a bit expensive, but the drinks are absolutely amazing, totally worth what you pay. I had the best cold brew coffee in my life, and don't get me started on the brain milk or the drink called maniac. It is so hard to choose as everything is absolutely amazing. 100% recommended. The staff is more than friendly and make you feel very welcome. Have been going there before work for three months now, and i have never been disappointed with an order.
Pros: healthy, friendly staff, incredible taste
Cons: the room gets a bit too hot if sunny outside

Love it - Edit
I am absolutely in love with this place. I have eaten all the foods so many times but cannot get enough. For someone as health conscious as myself, this place has shown me the way. A perfect assistance on my journey to raw veganism. A wide range of botanical drinks, juices, smoothies (LOVE the protein shake!), acai bowl!! which I utterly adore and am happy to be able to get one without a load of guarana syrup loaded in it, chocolate chia with decadent almond butter and strawberry layers, raw pancakes?! I am amazed. Not to mention lunch selection of kelp noodles, cauli sushi, raw wrap with spicy slaw filling (yum!), and an amazing raw take on falafel and hummus. Occasionally some classical salads find their way on the shelves as well :)
Surprisingly well priced for an organic and raw restaurant! Much better than planet organic or wholefoods.
Also super friendly staff and many samples are always given. love love love
Pros: Great selection of unique foods and drinks, Friendly staff, Wifi, plugs, music

breakfast - Edit
Went there for breakfast. Great if you want cheesecake. The food selection was almost non existant & certainly nothing substantial.

ElisabethHaljas 12 Aug 2016 - I am saddened by your comment. Two different chias, bircher muesli, fruit rolls, raw pancakes, desserts, smoothies and acai bowl not enough of a selection? :(
Charlesvegan 14 Aug 2016 - 9:30 am - the kitchen is closed in the mornings & we were advised to come back at lunchtime. The options in the fridge were neither substantial nor appealing such that we had to leave hungry. That was my experience and I spoke to two separate employees to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Hopefully the morning arrangements at Rawligion can be reassessed to provide a more enticing scenario to the hungry vegans of central London.
Rawligion 21 Aug 2016 - Dear CharlesVegan,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. As you may know, we only launched recently, approximately 2 months ago, and as such we are constnatly changing and improving our menu. It is extremely odd and in fact an anomoly that when you came in there was little to no breakfast options. The reason we open at 07.00 in the mornings is in fact to cater towards the breakfast market and as such offer a wide range of items including unique chia pots, seed bircher, raw pancakes, raw fruit roll ups, variety of raw bars, 9 different smoothies, range of organic cold pressed drinks including some with botanical extracts, acai and pitaya bowls. This list is not all inclusive and we are grateful for any and all feedback which can help us improve our offerings at this early stage of our business.
Should you find yourself at a loss nearby, please do reconsider popping in.

Food is SO delicious - Edit
Really delicious raw food. Its nice to have a range eg Lebanese box, Thai salad, Japanese sushi. The very friendly and helpful staff were able to make some suggestions too - we tried a kelp drink which was amazing. Also a few vegan dessert choices too, I had a delicious lime 'cheesecake'. I'm going to have togo back to try the caramel slice.
Pros: Delicious raw food, range of vegan desserts, friendly staff
Cons: seating limited
