Great independent cafe with a range of lunchtime options.

They offer bagels, sandwiches, a few cold bowls (eg salads), savoury and sweet pastries / baked items. A few outdoor seats, ideal for people watching.

Small place, ideal for a party of two.

Some of the flavours weren’t to my personal preference. I thought the sandwiches could be more attentively prepared (eg cherry tomatoes chopped in halves are quite hard to eat).

Will definitely go back.

vegan lox!

Any place with a vegan lox has me.
Good food, breakfast options, good hours, not expensive.

Pros: vegan lox, hours, inexpensive

Cons: not much seating

Wow!

Super cute little cafe with a small amount of seating. I originally went in for a turban sandwich but the scroll that had on special looked too good- was fermented tofu and spring onion. Absolutely delicious and salty goodness, also had a iced pandan latte which was great. All the baked goods and sandwiches looked great and they do some interesting drinks and have a cool little (expensive though but that’s the area!) deli section.

Pros: Fully vegan , Great pastries , Nice staff

Delicious sandwich and pastry

In Broadway market, the cafe is quite small, only a few tables but they have so many great options! I went for a chocolate croissant and caprese sandwich (toasted) and would 100% recommend. They also have a large selection of pantry items and cheese, wish I lived closer so I could go more often.

Great pastries!

Just popped in here to grab some pastries to go. Got the almond croissant, pain au chocolat and a cinnamon roll. All were great, especially the cinnamon roll! Cute vibe at the cafe and will definitely be back to try out the sandwiches and other bits!

Update: Popped in for lunch, bacon bun and pizza roll were both very good too!

BEST VEGAN DELI IN LONDON

This is my favourite deli in all of london, they do amazing handmade sandwiches (my fave is breakfast brioche and the caprese) as well as salad, quiche, frittata and loads of pastries, cookies and tiramisu. Also do a lovely coffee with some interesting options.

Staff are always super friendly and the interior is really cute. They also run supper clubs occasionally!

Pros: Incredible food, Lovely decor, Lovely staff

What an INCREDIBLE little vegan cafe serving up extremely tasty sandwiches and baked goods. I was in love with the fact they offered yuba (tofu skin) inside the reuben sandwich, and it was extremely delicious overall. The garlic leaf roll was also impressive. I was thankful they had run out of the chocolate croissants for the sake of my waist line, hahaha. This is run by the same people who own "I am nut OK" so I'm unsurprised by the extreme deliciousness of the food here. 1,000% recommended!!! I'll certainly be back.

I had to refrain from buying all the sweet things

We had a delicious lunch, matcha latte (with pandan syrup!) and sweets here. I love that the ingredients are not your run-of-the-mill, incorporating Asian ingredients like matcha, black sesame, and ube in their sweets.

The almond croissant was excellent: soft inside yet crunchy on the outside. I really wanted to buy another one but had eaten enough already! The matcha and lime cheesecake was deliciously creamy and the Reuben sandwich was tasty, but was more a 'nod' to a Reuben sandwich. Marinated tofu skins replaced the pastrami (an interesting take), white bread was used instead of rye, a type of cream replaced the sliced cheese, and red cabbage was used to replace the sauerkraut. Loved the pickles and the mayo sauce in it made it a little messy but added to the flavor!

It's also dog-friendly too which was great for our friend's pooch.

Delicious but pricy

These aren’t your run of the mill vegan sandwich fillings. Delicious and filling. I associate sandwiches with a cheap price, hence the knocked off star, but I would still recommend this place if you’re looking to indulge a little at lunchtime.

Pros: The sandwich fillings , The atmosphere and the people working , The bread

Cons: Price is quite high for deli food

Incredible vegan sandwiches!

They serve such creative sandwiches ☺️ The pistachio donut was so flavourful and their homemade vegan cheese is super tasty! I wish I lived closer to this cafe, I'd come here all the time ✨
I tried the Kimchi and Cheez sandwich and my partner had the Reuben! We also had a matcha latte and a pistachio donut. #Veganuary

Pros: The cafe is so modern and has great vibes , Their vegan cheese is homemade , In a great location

Cons: I think they serve dairy milk, only when asked for

Retro vibes inside!

Pretty cool little place to go for lunch! They have a nice retail section and some sweets as well as sandwiches.
I ordered the Reuben - I was expecting it to be toasted, but it was not, however it was still really nice and had some great flavour to it. The mock meat in the sandwich was so good!

Pros: Cool decor, Nice retail section

Cons: Limited seating

My favorite croissant so far

I came here hoping for a quiche that I saw in another photo. It turns out this is more of a lunch place with dinner service Thursdays and Fridays. The breakfast options are variable. We got here around 10 on a Sunday and they were making breakfast croissants with tofu scramble and tempeh bacon so we got those instead. I thought it was quite good. I’m no connoisseur but this might be the best croissant I’ve ever had. I was surprised the sandwich fixings were served cold instead of hot but it was good anyway. My partner was less impressed. I’d love to come back and try their sandwiches sometime. I wish they had a website with more information on their kitchen hours.

Pros: Delicious vegan croissant , Decent coffee too

Cons: Hard to find out menu / hours

AMAZING COOKIE

Found this gem while staying in London for the night. The design of the store is so cool and the staff are really friendly. There's lots of interesting vegan delicacies on sale. I had a breakfast croissant, which was a great snack before a party. Their nitro cold brew is also great. But what I have to rave about here is their white chocolate matcha pistachio cookie. Oh my god I love this cookie so much. Please never stop

Yummy breakfast!

I really enjoyed the stroll to here and the lovely vibe of the cafe! Staff was super welcoming and my brekkie croissant was otherworldly. I also loved the vegan quiche (:

Tasty sandwiches and pastries

I had the mushroom sandwich which I found bit pricey for £8,50, however it was really delicious! I believe they use house made fermented veg which is thumbs up!
Come after 5pm as they have happy hours - things from the counter for 50%off - the pastries, sandwiches!

Pros: Happy hours 5-7pm!

Best sandwiches

We visited for lunch on a sun sunny bank holiday and it was busy! We shared two sandwiches and a piece of cheesecake. The food was really great, one of the best vegan sandwiches I’ve had! A decent drinks selection and cheeses to take home too. Service was haphazard, had to ask for a few things a few times. Will come back for sure😄

Amazing soup and cookie

I was in the area shopping and came across this place as I was wandering. They had corn chowder soup with bread. I decided to eat in. It was a delicious soup with a great consistency. The vegetables were in proper pieces. Reasonable serving size and price too. The staff were really nice. I also got a miso and caramel and chocolate cookie to take away. The crunchiness of the cookie was good, I loved the sweet and salty flavour too. I would love to try some of their other sweet things and their sandwiches too. Highly recommend.

Huge sandwich - great value

When I saw the sandwiches in the fridge, I thought you only got half for £7.50 - was very pleasantly surprised you got both halves. Well filled and delicious. Nice little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly. Baked goods looked nice too.

Yum

Visited around 2pm on a sunday so it was pretty busy and a lot of options were gone already (sad but a good sign). I got an iced latte and croissant. They use oat milk as standard and have agave on the counter for you to add if you want - which I did and it was good. My croissant was massive and my perfect kind of texture: it was almost a bit doughy? super most? like not that super dry type of flakey where its nice but you lose half of it when you bite it. I could tear it super easy. I wish id tried a sandwich but it was a random time… next time!
