    Really upsetting to be told by one of the chefs to go eat somewhere else if I wasnt happy! He was rude and angry , After receiving a precooked warmed up poached egg not on fresh bread as I had specifically asked the young new server who didnt understand but we can forgive her. It was an awful breakfast experience. Expensive, sticky tables and no flavour smashed avocado on a piece of cold rye bread from a packet. Other Lady upstairs was very kind and apologetic. She couldnt refund us as she explained. We didnt finish our food, the egg was horrible. I feel so ripped off, hungry and upset by this experience £34 later. I dont understand how a cafe can operate like this. The Lady on coffee offered us something else but we didnt have time to wait for any hot food. She made a coffee, im sorry to say it was disgusting and I threw it away. The croissant was not fresh and we couldnt eat it

    I came here for coffee only and was impressed. Definitely one of the best and smoothest latte I ever had in the area! Also the lady barista was cheerful and friendly :) There were also a lot of bakery items on sale.

    Really nice healthy eating café in Chelsea with plenty of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options. Really fresh ingredients and high quality ingredients and tasty sauces. Well worth the price over salads from other chains (Pret etc). On this visit we had a Good Life Salad (£11.75) and a Chicken Man Bowl. Both were delicious. The Kale in the Good Life Salad was the tastiest crispiest fresh kale I’ve tasted. My husband had a delicious coffee and I had one of their fresh juice The Lucky 7 which is beetroot based and super-tasty. The venue is good and more seating than the Marylebone branch (and lighter and brighter) and wasn’t too busy when we visited mid-afternoon on a Monday. There is also some seating outside on the pavement of Sloane Avenue. Really like their menu and as a healthy eating vegetarian this is one of my favourite lunch places in London. Only disappointment was the brownie which was nice tasting but very dry. It had clearly been cooked too long/or been on the shelf for too long. I spoke to the staff and it was noted re the quality and they gave us a refund as the other one they had was similar.

    Went there on Sat at around 12. Lots of heathy menu. But service was very disappointing and slow. Sat is a busy period, if two people on the floor cannot cope, they should have more staffs working. Took 30mins to receive this food, some others who ordered after me got foods first. Cleaning tables were not so clean that we had to wipe again. Some forks given were dirty too. Great location.

    Single (small) toast slice cost me £15. It was yum but it didn't fill me up. I found it disappointing that some menu items were not made fresh e.g. £7 bottled juices. Was told that they had gluten free bread but couldn't swap gluten croissant for gluten free bread because the croissants were pre-made. Door was wide open and everyone inside was eating with their coats on.

    On the first sight this restaurant looks like you could get some nice food with a nice ambient here. But just after we've sat down we've noticed the sticky and dirty tables. A small bowl with veggies and a simple Croissant costed us 16£. I received my croissant immediately, but my girlfriend waited 1 hour for her simple bowl. After the staff noticed that she is still waiting she went to the kitchen just to inform us that they've simply forgot her order. The Croissant was soggy and boring, the wild child bowl was awfully bland. No seasoning, no salt and pepper. They even got the simple order wrong and served it with quinoa instead of the brown rice. Realy can't recommend this place, better search for something else, even tho it's quite beautiful

    Wir haben Frühstück bestellt davon wurde leider die Hälfte vergessen einzutippen. Als die erste Hälfte kam wiesen wir die Bedingung darauf hin und sie sagte sie hat nur das eingetippt. Soweit nicht so schlimm aber mussten getrennt essen, weil das andere Frühstück erst 20 min später kam. Ein bestellter Latte Machiato kam erst als kleiner Cappuccino und die Korrektur war dann ein Espresso Machiato. Ich hatte dann auch keine Lust mehr etwas zu sagen. Das Essen war lecker, aber für diesen stolzen Preis sollte man Fehler wenigstens anständig ausbessern.

    Really tasty food and catered really well for gluten free! Price was high for a waffle and coffee but this is normal at these artisan cafes. Friendly staff and food came out quickly!

    nice little cafe in chelsea. we came here for lunch and took a table in the back to do some work. coffee (americano) was a bit watered down but salads are good portion and very flavorful without too much dressing. we ordered the sunset chopped salad and miso cauliflower salad--so delicious!!

    I used to go here a lot when I lived here about a year ago and loved their food. Was back today and it has drastically changed. The service is so poor and they were so rude. The food is not cooked properly. I had the man made bowl with roasted tofu. The tofu was heated in the microwave. Barely warm and the vegetables (butternut squash&beetroot) still had the skin on and was rock hard. I do not recommend to anyone to go here. Very disappointed.

    Came with my Coeliac wife on a day off, drawn by the good reviews. Decent looking menu, if a little limited, and nice vibe to the place. The food, juice and coffee was good but not really good. Would have been 4* but particularly disappointed the drinks (juice, tea, coffee) came in disposable materials (plastic bottle/paper cups) when we were eating in - why not more environmentally friendly glassware/ceramic? So 3* but hopefully an easy fix on the latter and taken constructively, as intended!

    Great place for healthy wholefood, smoothies and juices. Coffee wasn't half bad either. Friendly and sweet service. Just wish the venue was a little bigger as feels a little bit cramped.

  • 2/5 Zsófia N. 5 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Idea is good but unfortunately employees are not professionals and the quality of the smoothies went downhill recently. It was my favourite place for my vegan smoothies (mainly deliveroo) but lots of wrong items sent lately and sometimes I felt like I only received water with a hint of smoothie. Also most of the vegan treats contain margarine which a big no for me.

    The human bowl was delicious! And the pumpkin tart was the perfect autumn treat. Friendly and quick service.

    Really sweet place, luckily we got the last table at the back of the cafe. Very tasty food & lovely juice. Would definitely recommend!

    Gluten free, soy free, dairy free options. They cant guarantee that there won't be cross contamination. So for allergies please avoid. The wild bowl could use more condiments. Overall good experience.

    Usually love the food at St Johns Wood restaurant. Dont know what happened today here. Quinoa was soggy wet and overcooked. Brocolli raw. My favourite waffles were burnt on outside and raw in rhe middle. Very disappointed.

    Had exactly the experience that other people have written about in their reviews. Had this experience twice already. Ordered breakfast for 2 people, only received half of the food and when the first half arrived I was told the other food was still coming. No more food arrive, so I asked where the other things were and was told they weren’t on my bill. They forgot to type it in. Not even a “Sorry” or an attempt to make up for it. Prices are way too expensive for this kind of customer service. Staff was unfriendly. Second time I’ve had this situation at this place.

    Ordered a matcha latte and paid extra for a sit-down service, but got the drink at a takeaway cup! When I requested for a proper chinaware cup as I wanted to relax, the person poured the drink in a small cup and the latte spilled on the saucer! And that’s how it was served to me….a messy cup and saucer with an expensive latte inside:(

  • 4/5 Tara K. 2 years ago on Google
    They had a lot of healthy allergy friendly options. Their menu was well labelled with what was gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan. They had rice bowls, soups, salads and desserts and juices. Prices were reasonable!

  • 1/5 Michelle 6. 2 years ago on Google
    I waited 12 mins for a coffee the staff were so busy chatting. sitting in it was served in a paper cup ( so much for the environment! It was so darn hot I couldn’t put it to my mouth . When I asked to put in oat milk he said “ it costs more” I didn’t mind that as long as I got what I wanted to not a paper cup of boiling hot bitterness! The cake I ordered was still frozen in the middle !!! For the price you pay you get better quality in McDonald’s

  • 5/5 Antía V. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an americano and a cappuccino, brownie, cinnamon roll and a croissant. The coffees were really nice, good quality coffee. The croissant was made with wholemeal flour, that was a first and it was surprisingly very tasty. Nice attentive staff and quick service :)

    Friendly and experienced staff, plenty of healthy foods/smoothies and their acai bowl is just perfect.

  • 4/5 Sebastian C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little spot in Chelsea - perfect for healthy food! The menu offers various dishes from staples like Croissants and Avo Toast to more elaborated dishes like butternut and lemon tahini bowls. It also offers an extensive drinks menu incl. coffees, smoothies, and cold pressed smoothies. Everything we ordered was delicious. Only drawback was the fact that the coffee was served in to-go cups - even though we dined in.

  • 2/5 Tom E. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent coffee. Not the friendliest staff. Only takeaway cups even if you are dining in which is so disappointing. What a waste!

  • 1/5 Emiliya M. 1 year ago on Google
    My toast arrived on a dirty plate with food remains dried to it. When I showed the plate to the stuff - in 2 minutes they brought me the exact same toast on a different plate. I have asked to replace the whole dish. 7 minutes later I got exactly the same toast with more chilli flakes on top. The plate was still dirty underneath and a tiny insect crawled from the toast and started running around the plate. The waitress quickly agreed to issue a refund, but only refunded half of the toast price!

    This place is amazing! They offered the best coffee and showed the best attitude to its costumers. Great staff, great coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and nice, certainly my absolute favorite go-to spot as a local. I’ve gone here every day for the past three months, every single cup of coffee hits the spot.Thank you for bringing sunshine every morning

    Small place, nice vibe, good food. My sister informed me that it was the BEST salmon and avocado toast she had ever had. That's saying a lot because this is one of her go to things to eat. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice, healthy lunch.
