"There weren't many options available when I visited this restaurant before Easter in 2018. They only had a blueberry and something soup and a brownie bar. Unfortunately, they were out of smoothies, but they looked delicious! Overall, it might not be the best choice for picky eaters. I did try the brownie, though, and it was pretty tasty. It was a bit dry and crumbly, but I was hungry and couldn't leave the bookshop, so it was a great snack. The brownie had dark chocolate chips inside, giving it a nice crunch. The atmosphere was somewhat noisy, but once I put on my headphones to draw, I didn't even notice the other people around me. The vibe was okay and the minimalist interior design was pretty in my opinion. I will likely return next time I'm in London, but I'll make sure to eat beforehand in case there aren't many appealing options on the menu. If I go with friends, I'll probably just have a brownie for dessert."

The atmosphere at the restaurant is very cozy and they do offer some vegan options. However, I wouldn't specifically come to this cafe as there are better options available in London.

I love the fact that there is a bookshop near me that sells vegan food but this could be so much better! The selection of food isn't big enough but the atmosphere is great and the staff are great. Improve this please!

So the cook was on holiday so there was nothing to eat except apples and bananas. You have some vegan brownies, provided the cook is at work. The waiters were really friendly tho, they checked everything for eggs and milk. Too bad they didn't have anything for us except Soy-Lattes.

So, the chef was on holiday so there was nothing to eat besides apples and bananas. They do have some vegan brownies, assuming the chef is at work. The waiters were really friendly tho, they checked everything for eggs and dairy. Too bad they didn't have anything for us except soy lattes.

Looking at the other reviews, my experience is not isolated however it would appear that no one at Foyles reads this so I intend to escalate. This is one of my favourite London cafes as an avid book reader. The manager is usually very friendly however seems to run the counter alone which isn’t ideal as customers often left waiting. That said she can be kind and gets to know the regulars. Improvement in the quality of the food needed asap.

This place has bad reviews on here, but since we were nearby and the last rating was 4 years ago we decided to try it. We don't have to have disturbed, as previous reviews mentioned, they offer a vegan chocolate brownie and that's pretty much it. The only other vegan food I saw was Quinoa Warpen. I forgot to check the drinks, but after the food offer I would not have stayed anyway. It was also really busy and there were not many seats free, which is not a criticism, only more of a warning if you hope for a cool bookstore. Updated by previous rating on 2022-06-03

Although this restaurant had poor reviews, we decided to give it a chance since the last review was from four years ago. Unfortunately, the previous reviews were accurate - the only vegan options available were a chocolate brownie and some quinoa crisps. The limited food options were disappointing, and I didn't bother to check out the drinks menu after seeing the lack of variety in food. The restaurant was also quite crowded with few available seats, so don't expect a relaxed bookshop atmosphere. Overall, I would not recommend this place based on my experience.

Wasn't many options when I was before Easter in 2018. A blueberry and some soup and a brownie bar. Unfortunately, they were from smoothies, but they looked good! Overall, maybe not the best place for Picky-Esser. But Brownie tried, and it was pretty good. A little dry and crumbling, maybe, but I was starved and couldn't leave the bookstore, so it was a turnkey sky. Dark chocolate chips inside that gave him a nice snack. Something loud, sitting there, but sitting on my headphones and drawing, I didn't even notice that there were other people. Okay vibe and minimalist (pretty imo) interior design, so I will probably come back next time I'm in London, although I'm eating a bit, in the case ther...
