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

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

Very impressive - Edit
I took my boyfriend for his birthday to the love shack and it was amazing. We were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who were very kind and attentive, and the decor was so cool; I loved it immediately. (We were happy to see they have board games to play too!) the cocktails were beautiful and unique, but the food… the food was next level. I mean, we were excited that it was 100% vegan but honestly I was blown away by the flavours! We shared 5 small plates between us and loved every bite. So much love in that place, we left with full tummies and full hearts 🥰
Read morePros: The food is a flavour sensation , The vibe is so chill, The staff are just awesome

Great vibes - ok food - Edit
Nice chilled out vibe and decor. Food was ok/average. Not amazing. I had the ‘tuna’ melt which was pretty good except I felt it had too much of the chick pea thing so the sandwich mainly tasted of chick pea. The sourdough bread itself was amazing. The accompanying salad wasn’t to my liking and unfortunately I didn’t finish it. The kimchi was not to my taste either. It was spicy and a bit soggy - i prefer my kimchi a little on the firmer side and with less spices.
Read moreThe latte was amazing!
Someone else had the tofu scramble dish which looked delicious so I might try that next time!
Updated from previous review on 2024-06-03
Pros: Friendly staff and good vibes, Great sourdough bread and latte, Lots of drink options (alcoholic and non)
Cons: Close to busy road, Salad and kimchi not my cup of tea

Holy sh**!
Read moreCome for the food, stay for the beautiful hosts.
Not only does the food here at love shack make me want to happy dance all the way to the vegan disco, the hosts are genuinely such incredible, beautiful humans. They’re at the forefront of local activism, standing for all things good and ethical and using their space to promote living with kindness, and standing up for what is right - what every vegan business should aim to achieve. Thank you for a beautiful night, and keep on being you.
Pros: I’d drop my pants for another duckless pancake, Staff, Cocktails

Creative vegan options in innovative space - Edit
Too many things on the menu we wanted to try. The artichoke and samphire roll was delish with a stellar brioche. Must come back. Desperate to try the tofu karaage and gochujang wings.

Amazing food and vibes - Edit
The food is some of the best we have had in a very long time, the flavours were amazing and what they can do with a mushroom isn't worth knowing, the wings and the brownie were standout.
Read moreThe staff were super friendly, we visited on the day of the national animal rights march so it was unsurprisingly very busy. Staff were upfront with wait time and apologised for the wait time after as well but honestly we didn't feel like we were kept waiting.
We were sad to see that some of the items on the online menu were no longer on the actual menu but it didn't stop us having a great meal
Pros: Every meal/drink is a flavor bomb , Friendly staff, Good vibes
Cons: Website menu needs updating

Lovely shack— hippy/chill/beachy vibes - Edit
Nice staff, good food, great chill atmosphere. Just would’ve like more cream or some syrup to put on top but I’m an American that likes sweet things so maybe that’s just me— but def good without added sweetness too!
Read morePros: French toast, Really atmospheric
Cons: No syrup lol I’m American 🤷🏻♀️😂 still good tho

Excellent hippy spot - Edit
Second visit to Love Shack and it's still excellent. Really nice hippy community vibe with lots of outdoor covered seating and wood. The food is delicious and they're also doing interesting things with mushroom drinks and such. Highly recommend!
