Disappointingly limited vegan options

Despite display screens in the cafe trumpeting their plant-based credentials, my only options for a vegan lunch today were a jacket potato, baked beans and one of the five salads. I opted for a baked spud with the vegan salad - roast beetroot, brown lentils and tarragon. Thankfully it was very tasty. No vegan cakes as far as I could tell. Labelling not as clear as it could be. Reasonable value for london - £4.50 for the spud, £5 for a small salad.

Pros: Tasty food., Nice ambience

Cons: Very limited choice

Lots and lots of healthy vegan options

Lovely cafe with lots of healthy vegan options. Nice indoor courtyard style space at the back to sit. Prices in line with London standards. Would recommend.

Impressed with range!

Such a lovely surprise that the majority of food available was vegan! Allergen list available to view next to the salad bar (which was all vegan). Lots of gluten-free options too. Reasonably priced for central London and very tasty! Takeaway available too - would definitely recommend if need lunch whilst working in the library.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Lots of gluten-free options, Clear and thorough allergen list
