"Not a good place for a quick breakfast. Food and drink service took ages (about half an hour from ordering for coffee/juice and another 15 mins for food). When we entered, we asked if there was anything suitable for vegans and they didn't seem to know what this was but the menu actually did have tonnes of options which was great. One of us ordered a tuna toastie and the bread was well toasted but filling cold and cheese not melted. The orange and apple juice was freshly squeezed which was a nice fresh touch but the menu did not specify this and wasn't really what I was after so would not have ordered if I'd have known. We ordered a bottle of wine, but it had been about 30-40 minutes by the time it came so at that point we weren't interested anymore really as the food was there and we were keen to get off. Therefore we asked if we could have just 2 glasses which they gave us but then charged for the whole bottle. When we queried this, they said they didn't serve wine by the glass so we'd have to purchase the whole thing which is fair enough but they hadn't stated that when we asked for the glasses and also hadn't actually given us the rest of the bottle so felt a bit like they were trying to rip us off (they did give us the rest of the bottle when we asked as we had paid for it). I understand that Sunday mornings are normally busy for cafes (it was virtually empty initially when we got there but it definitely got busier) which is why I've given it 3 stars, not 2, as I understand preparing fresh food takes time but it was more the drinks service that was disappointing. The servers appeared disinterested/apathetic. The food options were plentiful and most of it tasty, and very reasonably priced for London but the service and confusion sadly left us with a sour taste."

"my friend and I have jumped to midday after the good reviews. Therefore, it is important that I emphasize that this is from our experience of this caffe on a specific day (today). after entering and consulting that it all table service we have properly taken our seats and waited for the menus. 6-7 minutes later came a couple and sat in the cozy window bay. about 5 minutes later the cozy couple was brought with a pot tee. my friend then went and asked if we could have a menu. when we got our menus, no apologies for late and looked over, we asked for time to read them and we ordered or drink and a falafel pack everyone. the cozy couples got their afternoon tea ensemble and a bit later we got our packings, just 40 minutes after sitting. that eating was in order, I am not sure why crises come with many options as I do not 6. the pack, an salat garnish and a dimble of vegan koleslaw. it was a little expensive for the location, but blackmail. I wondered what to rate this and wanted to give a three star, but a slight mistake of the staff made me decide on a 2 star. the cozy couple during the afternoon tee was asked if everything was in order, which is standard procedures from food shops. we were not asked and it was taken as easy, so my assessment took the hit. I will not go back because better experiences are made elsewhere. However, check it as it has good reviews and has marked vegan options clearly. my experience could be a bad day."
