We visited for lunch after going to the Young V&A and I'm so glad we did! The food was all delicious and portion sizes were great. Children are well catered for and we even went back for the doughnuts too. Such a great find and we'll definitely be back!

Wonderful vegan restaurant, fantastic food every time. Unfortunately most of their savoury food was sold out by the time we went there and when they changed over to the lunch menu, one of the mains sold out instantly. Hopefully they make more of the savoury food at the weekends. Regardless of things selling out, I would go here every time I'm in Bethnal Green

What a cutie! This was our first choice to have brunch on a sunny Saturday in London.
The English breakfast was beyond perfect with the grilled tempeh, scrambled tofu, the spicy potatoes crunchy and soft with the fresh tomatoes on the side… yummy.
Also, we asked the bread with the tofu and hollandaise sauce and, I cannot describe it better than: marvelous.
To finish, we tried the blondie and the lemon cake. The blondie was delicious without a lot of sugar which was a huge highlight for me 🌱💚

The best chai tea latte I've ever had! It tasted homemade for me. Loved the back garden especially during the warm weather last Saturday. The staff are very nice and friendly.

Great vegan cafe with nice 'healthy' options. I chose a small salad plate food where one can add 4 options - these are limited though and would be good to stretch it out (the large plate has falafel and other extras you cannot choose on the small). Was a good lunch, but could be tastier with sauces or more seasoning.
The cake my friend had was a bit on the dry side but fine with the nice latte.

Always a wonderful location to visit. Been eating here for over 20 years at least. Returned after a long time this weekend to discover it thankfully remains the same and not devoured by local developments in Bethnal Green!
Super tasty food choices, all healthy vegan options. Sat outside in the garden and felt a world away from the hustle of everyday life outside on the main streets.
It's a wonderful little mecca to relax for a moment.
I love the large salads and cakes. Yes, I can't resist the sweet treats :-)

A brunch here is a must whenever we come to London. The English breakfast is very good, the croissant was excellent, however the pancakes were too chewy .. Also try the back garden to spend a relaxing moment eating good vegan food!

I visited Gallery Cafe for a breakfast. The place is 100% vegan which is amazing, and there are plenty of breakfast options. There is a nice terrace and the customer service was friendly and fairly quick.
4 stars instead of 5 because the place looks a bit run down and needs refurbishment. Also, I ordered a cappuccino & the full English Breakfast. My cappuccino was great but the breakfast was just average. Next time I will try something else.
Positive experience overall & will certainly be back.
