Absolutely great. My favourite place to eat in London. Food is fantastic, portions are huge, lots of options, great vibe, great value, and great ethos. I always leave so full, and for half the price of anywhere else. The meals usually come with tonnes of salads and bits too. Really appreciate it. The kitchen and people that work there do an amazing job.

Food in this café is fresh, tasty and simply delicious. Portions are generous and ingredients clearly quality and fresh. We came here first about 4 years ago and there was a more extensive menu there and more traditional health vegan food so when yesterday we saw the smaller menu with what looked more liked the current trend for “dirty” fast vegan food I felt disappointed. When the food arrived those thoughts changed fast as there is nothing “fast” food about their sandwiches, salad and chips. I had the chick-pea tuna melt toastie and it was packed full of a delicious mix that was exactly like a tuna melt but not soggy, nor too full of mayo. Perfect texture, balance and seasoning. My husband had the Seitan deli sandwich and was equally delighted. Chips were lovely too. We visited on a Monday lunchtime and cafe was full. Great atmosphere and a trendy vibe. We’ll be back.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming since it was Pogo and I’ve always enjoyed their food and ethic. The place is full of the diversity of Hackney, reasonably priced as the portions are large! Staff are super friendly. Get down early for an epic Sunday breakfast, you won’t be disappointed!

Great place to visit if you're hungry and want a lot of amazing vegan food. It's not in the best location, 15 minutes walk out of Hackney Central, but it's sure worth the visit. The food is amazing and the coffee outstanding. Prices are reasonable. Look forward to returning.Food: 5/5

Love this place. Delicious food with generous portions. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Want to eat everything off the menu!

Fantastic place with comfortable wooden seating benches, pillows along the windows seating, eclectic posters and decor and buzzy but not overtly loud or obnoxious convo happening. Although £12 for my lentil burger made me blanche, the generous sides of salad and housemade slaw I asked for no fries nor burger bun made it all worth it. There’s so much on the plate I boxed half for home I had drank a smoothie before I had arrived here. The slaw in particular is divine: it doesn’t have that gross mayo gloppiness I usually despise. It’s quite fresh. There’s a lovely vinaigrette on the greens and the burger has a moreish artichoke sauce. The staff is friendly as are the customers; dog-friendly too!

A very lovely surprise on the neighbourhood. The salad portion is very big dinner is sorted if you doggy bag all the rest looked very tasty too. All is vegan and lovely kombucha . Also supporting charity organizations in the venue. What's not to like !? Vegetarian options: All is vegan and lovely kombucha . Also supporting charity organizations in the venue.

Really cool hip vegan brunch place. 80s hardcore punk music and posters, great vibes. I had the full english breakfast for £12 and an americano for £2.30. very friendly staff, will be back.Food: 5/5

Any place that actually serves POTS of tea gets my thumbs up. Food incredibly fresh and delicious...had the salad bowl which even defeated me. Super friendly staff...glad to see one of the original stalwarts of vegan food in London is still thriving.

Food is absolutely flavourful, wholesome and delicious! Very hearty portions with quality ingredients, so it’s worth the price. Staff are friendly and helpful. Cosy, airy cafe yet professional. The kind of vegan cafe that makes it easier to eat healthy and lower one’s carbon footprint as their foods are tasty and addictive, and with the spacious, comfortable and communal style space they proffer.
