great food, great vibes

Love this place. It’s tiny - ten seats - and has a real relaxed, happy vibe. Tons of pop culture decoration, and the food is super good - so many vegan options, and everything is at minimum vegetarian. I had the Spicy Maiden bagel and an oat milk latte. Will be back for sure.

Pros: lots of vegan options, hearty flavourful food, helpful, friendly staff

Cons: we think they should make the jump & go full vegan

fell in love with their hotdogs!

Very cosy place for a snack or a cake. Interestingly broad choice of hot-dogs, and decent quality! They also have a wide selection of bevarages and drinks, with the unforgettable chilli chocolate. Good and affordable.

Spoilt for choices

I had a bagel and it was filled to the brim. The price is also very reasonable and you will be overwhelmed with all the options they have. Everything can be made vegan

Pros: Affordable, everything can be vegan

Cons: Will Be nice with more seating space

One of my favourite places in SE, it's nice, a lot of delicious options, and bagels start at £2.90 bargain! Staff are super friendly

Great food

I have been here a few times and the food has always been great and the price is very reasonable.
Only downside is how small it is, there aren't many places to sit inside so I usually have to take my food to go.
I highly recommend the chicken stripper and the breakfast muffin!

Pros: Price, Lots of choice on menu, Good quality food

Cons: Size of the place

great little cafe!

a friend took me here for breakfast. i had a hot mint chocolate and a bagel with banana, vegan nutella and peanut butter. it was insanely sweet bit very delicious!
mint chocolate was phenomenal!
i made the mistake to assume that everything’s vegan. unfortunately, the pancakes aren’t. this was pointed out by the guy taking our order though. perfect service!

cosy atmosphere, there seem to be many regulars here and also people who probably aren’t vegetarians themselves but enjoy a nice coffee & snack.

prices are incredible as portions are big and tasty! bagels cost 2,90 / 3,20 pounds. tea starts at 1,90. coffees and chocolate were about 2,50-3,50. little breakfast snacks from 2-3,50 (if i remember correctly)
highly recommended!

Pros: choices, price, atmosphere & location

Best coffee and vegan burgers in London

This is my favourite vegan-friendly place in South-East London. A cosy café with a wide range of burgers and hotdogs that can be veganised. There is always a range of tasty cakes on offer and their coffee is the best.

Pros: coffee, almost everything can be veganised, great service

Cons: small so difficult to get a seat

nice and cheap vegan junk food spot!

Cool place, lots of character with tonnes of vegan options including burgers, hot dogs, fish fingers and more. The shakes are delicious too! Prices very cheap for London.

Simple, affordable, friendly

The Waiting Room is a lovely little cafe tucked away on Deptford Highstreet. The food here is great! Service is quick and the staff are very friendly. So great to have a vegan friendly restaurant in this area, however they are now seeming to be popping up all over the place! The food is very reasonably priced, which is rare to find these days in London, especially for vegan and vegetarian food. Also a lovely and very affordable place to grab a drink with friends in the evening. However it is quick a small restaurant and you may end up standing. Burgers, hotdogs, wraps, bagels, coffee, alcoholic beverages and even some vegan cakes!

great vegan ribs

This place feels cosy and inviting. Fantastic chewy, meaty seitan BBQ ribs. The hot dogs and burgers are also delicious and the food is all very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Favourite place for coffee and cake

I've only ever had cake and drinks there but they're the best!
They have great range in flavours, there's always some new flavour cake and they're always really yummy!
It's a great looking place too.
Wish i'd have tried one of their savoury options (they have tonnes to offer) to comment but i'm sure they're great too! They have hot dog style stuff and burgers. Veggie and vegan options only.
To anyone living outside south east london this may be out of the way but I live close and love this place, i'd totally recommend venturing down here!

Pros: Great cakes and drinks!, Lovely looking inside!, Cheap

Cons: A bit out of the way
