So happy this place is open as a cafe again. (Thurs,Fri,Sat) Lovely community feeling, everyone welcome. Wonderful kind service. Great hearty food options, we had a vegan shepherds pie and a tasty curry for lunch along with a slice of cake and a cuppa.

I came here on a Saturday with my family as I had heard a lot about it. The cafe is quite small but it is so welcoming, cosy and warm. It was busy when we entered but we didn't have to wait for long until a table was free. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. There is a nice family type vibe at this cafe as regular customers were coming in. We ordered two soups and a brunch dish which included tofu scramble, sausages and a chickpea fritter. It was absolutely delicious. The price was also very reasonable :) Everything here is vegan and they have a good variety of cake, raw food and hot food. I would definitely come here again!

Fantastic little local cafe promoting sustainable and local produce. The vegan cooked food and cakes are delicious and you'll be greeted by friendly staff. On Saturdays they have a fruit and vegetable stall with local produce not to be missed.

T. S.

Super cozy and friendly vegan spot. The lovely lady behind the counter made us freshly squeezed juice and a delicious iced latte. The lemon cake is a must!

g. W.

Lovely people that run this cafe very polite and very friendly

@whatthefattoush cook and absolutely amazing spread! Jess the chef and Meg in front of house run a tight ship. I've got anlot of time for that, mate! AND it's for a good cause!

R. L.

Lovely service and good organic vegetarian /vegan food

T. S.

Stopped there for quick refreshments after a walk with my walking group

A. R.

Hats off to the pakistani chef in there, I think her names is nosheen. Her food is amazing and she's so sweet!!!

G. C.

Went midweek for lunch. Cafe wasn’t busy. First time there, disappointingly was not made welcome at all. The staff member wasn’t rude as such more non-fussed about us. Tables were messy as people had just left. We ordered and then waited 45 minutes for two falafel wraps. The food quality was excellent but I was so frustrated about the service. Poor welcome, no communication through out and no apology for the long wait. Will I go again? Not I that staff member is there. Sorry.

I just love this cafe. 25 years part of the community! I went along for supper, a pop up kitchen - and it was 'Marli's Kitchen'. Vegan Soul Food. The Brazilian Black Bean Stew was delicious. It was all the extras that totally smashed this dish. Sliced plantain, mint and lime 'slaw. The homemade Mango Hot Pepper sauce...that was magic. This pop up restaurants change frequently. Check before you go.

S. S.

Food took a while and they were out of 2 dishes. Staff were friendly coffee was better than expected for non dairy milk, food was okay, potatoes were really tasty and sausages quite meaty. Benches were really hard and uncomfortable. Atmosphere was very relaxed.

M. H.

Great community, doing great work to serve those in need. Gives free lunch on Mondays.

L. P.

I love this place. It's one of the oldest places in Walthamstow offering vegan and vegetarian food. Try the Vegan English breakfast and scrambled tofu toast. They are my favourite here. Check out their vegan treats, muffins and Cake. You will not be disappointed. All created with locally sourced products.

A. P.

Me and friends always go here on a Monday. The staff are just lovely and polite. You pay any money you want for amazing food with no judgement. Just a great atmosphere. Definetly try the cold oat latte, it's one off the BEST!! On Sundays is owned by #whatthefattoush. We also go here for breakfast. And I need to say, they have a great selection for vegans and vegetarians. The owner is lovely. I remember the card machine no working and the next time I went here, the owner offered me a peice of cake to apologise. Thank you for being a great community cafe!!! ❤️

Had a great chat with a regular who helped me understand the food being sold. I have recently been told to avoid wheat and gluten so went in for some ideas for cooking. Lovely atmosphere defo going back again. Ps: took my leftovers 😋

A.

Upon arrival, I felt a warm welcome from the staff. It has a cozy touch it, and is relatively spacious. The food served is delicious and healthy. They serve 100% vegan food , using mainly organic produce. I would recommend this place to anyone.

A. C.

Nice location by the canal. Good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Food overpriced and not that tasty

D. T.

Incredible food - delicious and healthy! The place is a real community hub - in a genuine and meaningful sense. A real asset to the area, with lots of local events hosted. Plus, you can refill your environmentally friendly cleaning products here too. Brilliant.

J. K.

Only one white and one red house wine. Our choice was the Leefield Station Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand, could not have asked for a better accompaniment. Meal ended with oat milk masala chai, 24 hours infused with 8 spices. The mango sorbet was sweet and tangy. Highly recommend

A. M.

Lovely soup and main course. Had a good old chat. Meet with a few people from the old Sally's kitchen. Gorgeous chocolate cake. Great. Many Thanks.

F. M.

J. G.

Always leave feeling very satisfied indeed. Myself and my wife are regulars for breakfast and for evening meals and are always blown away by the amount of flavour and colour in our meals. 5/5 all day long!

K. J.

Amazing little cafe with vegan food! Loved What The Fattoush. Sososososo good!

a. b.

Tasty kale caesar salad. Tortilla w caramelised onion cauliflower dip and beetroot and mint dip. My friend had black rice pudding. All tasted delicious. Will be back to tray more dishes. Great local find

D. R.

A nice community cafe offering mostly vegan fare that is decent without being exceptional or especially imaginative. Reasonable pricing and good portions though, and they get an extra star for their genuine ethical commitment.

Z.

Fantastic little cafe with tasty food and great service. I was on a detox for 5 days and wasn't sure what to eat but this cafe was very helpful. The food was great and filled me up for the day.

B. D.

R. 4.

Nice chilled place with a community atmosphere and a great soup, not many vegan foods in the area, so I am very happy with service and food

N. H.

I usually come on a monday, Tuesday and sunday and the food is really good and fresh. Also the chef and Meg at #whatthefattoush you guys are great and the food is delicious

A. K.

If you're used to small mom and pop places around Williamsburg, NY or San Francisco/Santa Cruz bay area that serve gourmet coffee you'll love it! They know how to steam milk and make a proper barista cappucino. They serve food from what local farms have available that day. They only take cash, tho.

S. M.

I like this cafe. Use to make nice coffee. Now it's a mini Food Bank.

L. W.

Best vegan food for miles, and nice coffee too. Great little space in the not so nice bakers arms area!

H. M.

Organic! Many things going on here, don't let the shop front deceive you into thinking that it's only a cafe. A lot of initiatives for a healthy living including cycling club

a. v. d. e.

I like the community and eco focus of this place (it's run by volunteers and serves all local and organic food). The coffee isn't great though and the food is a little bland.

B. B.

The food is outstanding! Awesome place. Can't wait to go back. This is definitely going to be a regular place for me.

J. M.

The Hornbeam Centre cafe is blossoming at the moment. Some of the tastiest and best value food to be found in London thanks to the 'Norman Loves Soup' team who are currently running the show.

T. B.
