My fave vegan restaurant in London - Edit
This is the best vegan place in London, hands down!!!!
Read moreObsessed with their mushroom dishes and drinks (the Lions mane hot chocolate is amazing) ☺️
Also you definitely have to try the Oyster mushroom wings. They are just too good!
Also, they have board games so it’s fun to play them while waiting for the food ☺️
One million stars/10
Pros: Amazing food, Amazing drinks , Really cool atmosphere

Delicious pancakes, but service could be smooth - Edit
I visited Love Shack and had the pancakes — they were delicious! You get three thick ones with lots of topping, definitely worth the money. We went when it was really busy and towards the end of food service, so unfortunately we could only order pancakes or French toast (which wasn’t explained when we first sat down). We also had quite a long wait to be seated and for our order to be taken.
Read moreThat said, the vibe of the place is really nice, the food itself was great, and the staff were friendly — the service could have been a little better, but overall it was still a good experience.

Fantastic vegan food! - Edit
We stumbled across the Love Shack while in Bethnal Green and absolutely loved it! Great food and a reasonable price (big portions!) and the eclectic furniture and decor was fun and right up our street. It was a Saturday night at about 6 and we got a table for 5 without a problem.

Love Shack is a must visit! The food, the people, the atmosphere, it’s a little oasis in busy East London. Try their mushroom powders!

So good!! - Edit
We’ve been wanting to come here for ages, and finally went for my partners birthday. It didn’t disappoint! Great vibes and amazing food. We got the duck pancakes and karrage tofu to start, followed by chicken burger and beyond meat burger for main. Big portions, we even had leftovers to take home! Good service too! They gave my boyfriend a free shot for his bday. Also they have loads of board games. Can’t wait to return as there’s loads more delicious sounding options on the menu!

Great Food Service Varies - Edit
Showed up for Sunday brunch with 12:15 reservation for 1 and was a touch early. Looked to be the first there which was surprising as they’d been open for an hour. Everyone was very nice and attentive. I ordered hot chocolate, don’t tickle my pickle, and raspberry G-spot, best hot chocolate I’ve had in London without competition. All the drinks were great.
Read moreI ordered their English breakfast. It was also amazing. Even the beans were very flavorful and a tad spicy. The hashbrowns were SO crispy, the tofu bacon perfectly replicated. The tofu scramble peppered nicely and even slightly creamy. The sausages were mildly dry, still quite good. The pudding also weirdly dry and kind of a clump. It was not enough to ruin the dish.
It started getting busier, so the service started to wane.
I ordered another hot chocolate and
their omelette to go for breakfast the next day once I finally managed to get ahold of my waitress 35ish minutes later . I tried a bite. The mushrooms were mildly gritty like they weren’t adequately washed. The salad they came with I ate as I figured it wouldn’t keep. I thought the omelette bite was a fluke, and needed to go, so decided
to get boxes.
I was there over two and a half hours as a singular person. I finally got up and went to the barista to ask where I could pay, and she took my payment. The food was great, the wait not so much.
Pros: Best hot chocolate , Favorite English breakfast, Great decor/music
Cons: Inconsistent service, Gritty omelette , Long wait

Disappointing - Edit
We had to leave without eating due to having to wait over an hour for brunch. Wait staff were not communicating at all and just kept saying five more minutes. There was a private event downstairs so perhaps that had impacted the service. Really disappointing.

Amazing for people with allergies - Edit
Honestly one of the greatest cares I’ve ever received as a person with an onion allergy. They staff were checking with chefs every singly dish to make sure I have the biggest choice possible, and the food was so sooooo yum. The vibe itself is also amazing, chilled and funky at the same time

4.5 stars ⭐
Read moreSuch a fun spot with lots of couches and tables inside and out. As others have said, don't expect quick service even if the cafe is quite! The staff are very friendly though. I thought the food was really nice and a decent size. My only complaint was my toast wasn't very toasted so the toppings on top had soaked in and created a very soggy mess in the middle, but taste wise very nice. My partner liked the lobster roll

There’s a good reason so many London vegan social events are held here: it has a gorgeous, quirky, bohemian style, a fully vegan menu, lots of variety and it’s all really tasty!

Great food but painfully slow service - Edit
I hate to give a fully plant based spot less than a perfect review, but every time I’ve gone I was stuck waiting ages to catch someone to order, then for each dish and then more for the check to come. The food and drink itself was delicious though and by itself would’ve deserved 5* so I don’t want to take more than a star off for the slowness
