Amazing food - Edit
Very friendly staff. Book in advance if you want to go before 10am and are a larger group, the space downstairs is not big.
Read moreHad the banana biscoff pancakes, a red smoothie, and a cappuccino. Portions are a good size, I was rolling out of that place.
Pros: Big portions, Delicious, Fully vegan
Cons: Kinda small

Lovely place - Edit
Great food choices and execution - the quesadillas brunch was a tasty and satisfying way to ease into the afternoon. Served with a good homemade mint kombucha. The environment is very chic and calming, which is a good remedy to London in general. Service was pleasant too, even though I had to order via the QR code (never a fan of doing that). Still, very good and will happily return.

Great food - Edit
I have been here a few times and it’s been consistently good quality. This time I had the frittata and salad. Tasty! Lovely place, home cooked feel, nice decor, handy location and reasonably priced. Far preferable to the chains.

The food is good homemade quality but the lasagna was overcooked and could have more flavor. The carbonara and tiramisu were delicious though!

Delicious food, fast service - Edit
Me and GC found this place on the way to our train, I have no idea why we didn't find it when looking for breakfast earlier in the week but I'm blaming travel fatigue 😂.
Read moreWe both got the full English and an oat latte and for dessert GC got a tiramisu and I got a salted caramel slice.
The labelling was hand written on the side of the cabinet, I couldn't read it and just pointed at it when asked which dessert I wanted.
You get a free dessert if you mention happy cow and spent £35 so whoo free desert.
Everything thing in this place was very tasty, the price was also really good for the amount you got. I would definitely eat here again.
Pros: Good price, Good quantity, Free dessert

Delicious and well priced - Edit
I got a full English breakfast, oat milk latte, and a tiramisu. I also tried some of Purp's salted caramel cake.
Read moreEverything was delicious, and the prices were fantastic, especially for the area. I found it very filling.
They still have the offer when you get a free dessert when you spend over £35 and mention Happy Cow.
Service was very fast. It's very close to St. Pancras station, which was very useful for us as we had to get to Luton airport for a flight.
I'd happily eat here again.
Pros: Delicious food, Great prices, Free dessert when you mention Happy Cow

Where Everything Just Feels Right - Edit
Hands down the best experience I had in London. The restaurant itself is spacious and spread over two floors, beautifully designed - elegant, colorful, modern, and incredibly inviting. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out: the staff were exceptionally attentive, warm, and genuinely funny in a natural way. One of those rare places where you instantly feel welcome and relaxed.
Read moreThe menu sounded amazing across the board, making it very hard to choose. For drinks, we had a rose lemonade (something completely new to me - very tasty but definitely one for rose lovers) and a green smoothie with spinach, dates, tahini, banana, and almond, which was excellent.
As starters, we shared edamame and sweet potato fries - simple, but really well done and delicious. My main was the spaghetti carbonara, and it was by far the best vegan carbonara I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, beautifully seasoned, and not overly peppery (which I often struggle with). Just brilliant. My companion had the yasai katsu curry with crispy marinated tofu - perfectly crunchy, full of flavor, and paired with a rich, comforting curry sauce.
Even though I was already very full, dessert was impossible to resist. The Millionaire Shortbread was quite something, not at all what I expected but absolutely heavenly. For me it was more a chocolate and peanut cake.
I would love to come back for brunch someday, as that menu sounded just as tempting. This evening is one we won’t forget anytime soon - simply fabulous.

Great vegan food from fresh ingredients - Edit
Very tasty and reasonably priced vegan food, made from fresh ingredients.
Read moreMenu rather small, but quality
Friendly service, lots of seating space (upstairs).
Only issue: background music unsuitable: silly restaurant-style renditions of old hits, which gets on one's nerves.

Went here for brunch and as always had choice paralysis as everything vegan! Had a frittata and a side of tofu scramble with an oat latte. Was delicious and service was friendly. Was able to get a table here for brunch on a Monday without booking in advance and was quiet enough to enjoy chatting with friends and not feeling rushed. Will definitely return here on London trips.
