An amazing cafe, vibes are immaculate, food is delicious and service is great. The menus also seasonal so they change things up regularly which is great. The drinks are also lovely, I'd highly reccomend the chai latte and mocha. A must visit for any vegan !

Had the Bean Breakfast and absolutely loved it — every component on the plate was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor! The café itself is a little out of the city center, but totally worth the trip. The vibe is chill, the space is cozy, and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly. They even recommended other great spots around London for me to check out. The owner is vegan, and you can really feel the passion behind the concept. This place definitely deserves more attention — a true hidden gem for plant-based food lovers!

Really nice spot for a coffee and a vegan croissant! My favorite was the stuffed croissant but we also tried the cauliflower melti sandwich which was really nice. Everything was tasty, filling and fairly priced (I think). Definitely coming back!

Beautiful cafe, delicious food, friendly service, chilled atmosphere and close to Hackney Downs. I enjoyed the Bean’s Breakfast, peanut butter blondie and an oat flat white. Everything was super tasty and freshly prepared.

We had wanted to try this café for a while, and it didn't disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious. Amazing flavours, portions and presentation :) We had some wonderful toasties (the 'breakfast' one with one of the best scrambled tofu we've ever had, and the 'roasted dinner' one with plenty of great ingredients, including stuffing and cauliflower), a delicious savoury stuffed croissant and, as a dessert, a French toast to-die-for, with caramelised orange, pear and cream. I couldn't recommend this place more!

I will have dreams about their strawberry shortcake french toast. Peaceful location and friendly staff. I will definitely love to come again and try their savoury options. Sadly you can't give half stars because I would give them 4.5, only deducted because the matcha wasn't quite mixed enough but it tasted good!

This cafe is one of my favourites. I’ve been for lunch, cakes and just coffee and it never disappoints. The menu changes often and is always inventive, catering to every vegan craving going. The weekday deal is also such a good thing to see. Staff are always very welcoming and kind. There IS a toilet but you do need to ask!

Was staying in the area for an event and ended up coming back here for brunch 3 days running - everything I sampled was delicious, and I only wish I lived more locally to try the entire menu. Best breakfast toastie I've ever encountered in my life, all freshly made, and a lovely atmosphere. This is a gem of a vegan cafe, would highly reccoment
