    I love it here. The garden is just a peaceful, beautiful Oasis. I absolutely love that this exists. It's a beautiful place to enjoy a coffee with a friend on a sunny hot summer's day, or a drink with family and friends in the evening, there are always special events like at Halloween the pumpkin carving, they often offer gluten free or vegan treats and a range of good value drinks. An absolute gem.

    This place is an absolute gem of east London. I live in West London so for me it was like visiting a different country ! Gorgeous gardens, amazing atmosphere and great music every day ! It was a pleasure to be part of the show last Tuesday

    Nice hidden gem in busy Dalston. Relaxing feel and not busy. Nice little coffee shop with good selection of hot and cold drinks and cakes.

    I love the curve garden so much. It's an oasis of calm, a friendly place to meet up, have a drink, read a book, spend some time. Friendly staff, reasonable drinks prices, beautiful plants, biodiversity, great pizza, what more could you want.

    Really lovely garden. They have accessible entry and toilets. The outdoor pizza oven is great. They host events all the time for families and kids. It is also a nice place to volunteer and meet other like minded young adults.

    Gorgeously magical hidden gem of a city garden.... Walked in and was blown away that this oasis was just off a busy high street! So lovely, what a lovely community garden... Seeing the birds flit around just above your head, with the string lights above, amongst the trees... Which would probably look amazing lit up at night.....right out of a Midsummer nights dream.

    Came across this by chance! Such a surprise to find such a hidden gem! Perfect relaxed setting to have a drink and enjoy the nice weather. I love that they haven't placed too many tables or too close to each other so it makes it feel less busy. The atmosphere was lovely and not too rowdy. Totally love it and will be coming back.

    Great place to meet people for drinks as well as to bring kids to play. A wonderful atmosphere and very friendly and accommodating staff. The brownie is fantastic!

    Very cool pace to chill and meet a friend. Kids also have a lot of activities organised for them, it feels very community-driven and really great to have that in the neighbourhood. Worth a visit.

    what a lovely space in London. I was there for a gig but arrived a couple hours later while it was still family friendly. Such a neutral but friendly outdoor environment, good for any age. Appreciated my time there.

    I've walked past this place for years and decided to venture in for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. It's an outdoor space with tables and chairs dotted all around, this seemed like a space where everyone is welcome. The space is especially nice if you have young children as there's plenty of space for them to move freely without the fear of bothering anyone and the layout means they will aslo remain in your vision. The pricing was very reasonable, but then again this is a social enterprise. I have given 4 stars because the space is entirely outdoors, (which has it's limits) and because we only came for drinks, couldn't really comment on the service or the food

    I love this place a lot! It’s like a little oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of crazy london. It helps to know there’s somewhere like this near me (because I’m originally from the countryside). It’s like a little slice of home. I like to visit here with my friends for an hour or two, or even just take my notebook to write amongst the nature. Very cool staff. Wide range of food and drinks. Seem to be lots of events on for the little ones which is a great way for them to get into nature!! There’s so much potential in this place! I can’t wait to see what comes of it

    Stumbled upon this hidden gem by pure chance! A delightful surprise – the perfect, laid-back spot to savor a drink and soak in the beautiful weather. Appreciate the thoughtful arrangement of tables, offering a spacious and uncrowded feel. The atmosphere was charming, striking the right balance without being too lively. I absolutely adore this find and will definitely make a return visit.

    Such a gorgeous place, great staff, lovely workshops, events, a hub of the community. They've done such amazing things to keep this place going & do great things in the local community & provide all sorts of lovely art, craft, music events for the local community. The prices are reasonable, staff are a delight, all the settings are so gorgeous for the workshops & events. In the summer the outdoor events in their fabulous community gardens are a must. But all through the winter you can pop along, they do an amazing array of hot drinks & provide blankets to wrap up. It's also super eco friendly. There's literally endless reasons to support this gorgeous place! 😍

    Secret garden, coffee, beer, cake, fresh pizza, amazing atmosphere. What's not to love?

  • 5/5 Matthew S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing secret place to come for a drink and chill out. Was highly recommended to me and I highly recommend it to others! Looks really secret, but it opens up to a huge outdoor area that is really cute at night. Heaters and sofas and little tables are dotted around and lovely plants and greenhouse. The staff are friendly and have a wide selection of teas and beers (including non dairy milk)! What a great place to come with anyone!

  • 5/5 Lucy F. 1 year ago on Google
    You can get a decent coffee and selection of drinks. Food is limited to cakes. There is seating under shelter, or in a greenhouse if cold, and lots of tables and chairs in the garden. Bring a picnic on a sunny day and sit and chat on rustic logs next to the kids' play area. Lovely, lovely place surrounded in greenery. Was a railway yard, I think.

  • 5/5 Tanya L. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely tranquil place to sit and relax. You can buy drinks and snacks. If you are in Dalston, make sure you pop in.

  • 5/5 Charo P. 6 months ago on Google
    My favourite place in London. Hidden garden/green space where you can find a cosy area to sit and drink something. It is a community garden so everything they earn goes back to the people. They do seasonal events. Enter to discover a beautiful place 🧡

    I’ve really enjoyed my stay here. It was rainy and cold, but the pot of tea and later on the heating pad the staff provided their costumers with, really made a difference! They also had extra blankets if needed. The only remark I have is the restroom, there was a leak in the roof which resulted in a wet floor. Other than that, great place to hang out!
