Really disappointing experience - Edit
Coffee nice but the rest of menu lacked flavour.
Read moreAfter making a trip to London we made a booking for 3. We arrived and were told they could only provide us a table for two despite there being free tables and a table of 3 already being seated with adequate seating.
With a lot of effort and negotiation we were able to get another table once the previous group had left. Poor customer service from staff, we weren't asking for too much just a table for three and three seats adequate to eat at.
Only when the manager stepped in we managed to get a table that would fit three plates on in the end.
The waiter forgot we were there so waited a while to take our order. Then the food arrived:
Eggs and toast, dry no butter on the single piece of sourdough.
Waffles, cold, not fresh without flavour.
Vegan breakfast, scramble tofu had zero flavour and homemade beans curried, not ideal option for breakfast.
12.5% service fee still added.
Pros: Vegan options , Nice coffee
Cons: Expensive , Poor service even when booked, Lacked flavour /dry food

Delicious food - Edit
We came here to try the breakfast. Most of their dishes either are vegan or could be made vegan. I ordered a coffee which was very nice, a little smaller than I’m used to but the taste was nice.
Read moreI then asked if the omelette could be made vegan which it could. I had it with olives and mushrooms. It was very tasty. I really enjoyed the food. My partner had the pancakes and said they were nice. Very friendly service and the cafe looks lovely and bright

Tasty but spenny. - Edit
Lovely location, lovely venue, lovely menu. Iced coffees were refreshing and food was fantastic – loved my waffles!
Read moreOnly thing would be it is quite pricey for the amount of food you get, and waffles were not the most crispy. Still highly recommend though

Great vegan options! - Edit
Good vegan options. I had Avocado on toast and the portion size was great and good value for money. This place also offers scramble tofu which I didn’t have but looked good. Service was good.
Read moreNut allergy: this place does have peanuts in the kitchen, I didn’t have any problems and they noted my allergy. 2 people I was with have a meal with peanut butter so they kindly swapped it out for almond butter but then charged us extra :(
Vegan side of it was good
Pros: Most things can be made vegan
Cons: Peanuts in the kitchen , Extra charges

Amazing breakfast food!! - Edit
We booked a table for brunch which I’m happy about as they were really quite busy. There is outdoor seating but we were sat by the window which you can open all the way so it was still nice. The portions are MASSIVE like I felt so full by the end and I never normally feel that omg. The tofu in the benedict wasnt massively a replacement for the nonvegan equivalent of egg that would have been there but it was yummy anyway. Everything tasted amazing - even the asparagus!! And my smoothie was good too. I spent about £20 on both together which is about what I expected, maybe even less so for central london!

Great Vegetarian Cafe! - Edit
I love the menu of this cafe; it has a great variety of sweet and savoury options and a menu that is good for breakfast, brunch and lunch, that’s served all day. I had the Vegan Pancakes which were delicious. You got 3 fairly large pancakes, topped with berry compote, yogurt, fruit and an optional nut butter (which I had on the side). The pancakes were really tasty but they were quite tough and chewy; I personally prefer a fluffier pancake. The portion size was decent too. My mum had scrambled egg and mushrooms on toast and she loved her food! She said it was the best scrambled egg she’s ever had in a cafe and the mushrooms were so tasty. She said the sourdough was great and her portion was huge! The food is quite expensive but for London and the food quality food it’s not too bad. The most expensive part of this cafe is the drinks. We both had teas and they were £3.25 each! The cafe itself is nice (though small) and has outdoor seating too. They have vegan cakes on offer as well. The staff were really friendly and service was great. I would definitely return when I’m in London and would recommend as a great cafe for any vegetarian or vegan! You can tell all of the food is high quality and healthy too!

Anyone else angry they call themselves plant based? - Edit
The website says “Plant Based Paradise” and on Google maps it’s categorized as a vegan restaurant. But they serve egg and cheese. Sorry but this is a vegetarian restaurant that has vegan options, not the other way around. Either take the cheese and egg off the menu or rebrand.
Read moreKINLONDON
You're absolutely right to point out the distinction between vegan and vegetarian, and we understand how that could be confusing. While the majority of our menu is plant-based and vegan-friendly, we do offer a few vegetarian options (including dishes with cheese or egg) to cater to a wider range of guests.
Read moreThat said, your point about how we present ourselves is totally valid, and it's something we'll reflect on as we continue to evolve. Our intention is never to mislead, and we’re grateful when our guests hold us to a higher standard.
Thanks again for your honesty — it helps us grow.

Great Vegan Brunch - Edit
Cute little cafe with several vegan options (both sweet and savory). We had the vegan breakfast burrito (100% recommend, it was delicious!!) and the vegan waffles which were also good but felt like something I could make at home. Nonetheless, the food was yummy, a bit pricey but that’s London. They had a nice selection of some vegan baked goods (including vegan baklava which I regret not trying!). I would definitely return.

Average food, average service - Edit
I’m not sure why this place gets so many 5 star ratings - the food is neither delicious nor cheap, nor particularly generous.
Read moreFirstly our food arrived in the table cold.
Secondly even though we ordered two different things we basically got the same plate of cold/lukewarm veggies with a stingy half piece of slightly toasted bread.
Finally you have to pay extra if you want another half a piece of toast. Seems insane that toast is rationed here - it’s not as if it would cost them anything to serve a meal with a whole piece of toast - or even two pieces!
KINLONDON
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback – we're really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t live up to expectations.
Read moreWe always aim to serve food that's both satisfying and delicious, so we're disappointed to hear that your meal arrived cold and felt underwhelming in terms of portion and value. That’s certainly not the standard we strive for.
As for the toast situation – we completely understand how that might have come across, and it's helpful to hear your perspective. While we do our best to portion everything thoughtfully and keep our pricing fair, your point about generosity is well taken and will definitely be shared with the team.
We genuinely appreciate you giving us a try, and we’d love the chance to make it up to you if you're open to it. Please feel free to reach out to us directly – we’d be happy to welcome you back for a better experience.
