Great place for breakfast!

The Toasted Avo and Kraut with extra Scrambled Tofu was great, but the New York Brisket was our favourite dish. It had a real depth of flavour and the texture of the mushrooms was very similar to brisket.

If you fancy something different to drink, try the Salted Coffee — you’ll still get your caffeine hit, but with an interesting twist!

💚 LOVE LOVE LOVE 💚
Everything was so delicious! I just love the vibe of the café, chill & minimalist. The place has a light & airy feel to it, & somehow wasn't too noisy even though it was pretty busy for a Friday at midday.
The only thing that made me a little sad was that my meal should have been served on sourdough & I'm a HUGE sourdough fan, but it was still scrumptious nonetheless.
The scramble may actually be the best I've ever had 😍👌

A fancy vegan café/ restaurant in Hackney. (I’m not a vegan. I’m mostly a pescatarian)
It’s very LOUD though. I believe it’s something to do with how they treated the walls and the ceiling. Poor acoustic treatment leading everyone to speak loudly, which compels people around them to speak even louder to get heard. And it’s not that they were playing loud music either.
At least the staff members were pleasant and helpful.
The (vegan) croissant was suspiciously oval. I was suspicious at first, but I was pleasantly surprised; flaky on the outside and moist on the inside. It’s not the same thing as real croissant, but if you think of it as a different kind of bread, it is very good.
The main dish, brekkie bowl was pleasant enough but nothing mind-blowing. From scrambled tofu to stir-fried kale, they are all things I can make myself. The ‘hummus’ had a very weird, runny texture, and didn’t really taste much like hummus. Which is weird, because hummus is supposed to be vegan!

Went for breakfast and happy they offer gluten free options, as my partner is coeliac. I tried the beetroot latte and we both had the tofu scramble. My partner loved the vegan gf sausage (mushroom) roll. Delicious!
