    If you ever need a tea, coffee or bite to bite to eat and quiet spot near Euston, this is the place to be. Clean, peaceful atmosphere and affordable. It's good to be amongst Friends.

    Friendly staff and nice food I stopped by the cafe bookshop to pick up some white poppies and ended up grabbing a bite to eat. The wooden cutlery is a little small and my partner's spoon actually went flat in her soup but thankfully the food was delicious. I had a goats cheese quiche and a delicious beetroot cake.

    Great carrot cake and chai latte! The perfect quiet break I needed. Just too bad it closes quite early!

    A comfortable, reliable and friendly cafe within Friends House, the home of the Quakers in the U.K. a good place to wait if catching a train from Euston but want to avoid using the station.

    Very nice and cosy place. Very cost effective!

    What a delightful haven away from the madness of Euston Road. It was a lifesaver on the Thursday we were shut out of Euston Station because of overhead power line damage. The damage was due to Nature . The station closure was down to human error that saw the elderly and disabled left to brave the bad weather outside. So a big thank you Quaker Seed. 🎅🎄

    An oasis of calm in centre of London. Great coffee and interesting , healthy range of food and cakes. Interesting bookshop too. My go to place before catching train across the road from Euston. So much better than the bustle of Euston Station.

    Food and coffee very tasty. Interior is nice, staff friendly, and toilets are clean.

    The place has been refurbished but the old friendly atmosphere remains. It's immaculately clean and the prices haven't gone up much.

    Very nice seating area outside the café, also tables & booths inside & an inner courtyard. Had a very enjoyable sweet potato soup, with a pumpkin seed roll. Was disappointed that there appeared to be nothing gluten free, despite what is said on the website. My friend was disappointed that the salad to go with the quiche had run out! Overall, a relaxing place to lunch!

    It’s a peaceful place with decent coffee. You can have a small meet here. It’s really nice. Small book shop / gift shop. Small hot food menu upstairs and a great kitchen below with decent menu.

    Super hot day and we found on Google this cute little cafe/bookshop. Don't be put off by the decor, it's dated and reminds me of the 90s with all the children's books. However, the staff are super friendly, attentive and helpful. We got an iced lemon tea, iced soy decaf coffee and a GF Victoria sponge (~£8-9). The iced coffee included a syrup too, which I asked more of as I couldn't taste it and they were very kind to add some more. Drinks were good and the GF cake was a bit on the dry side but it was still very tasty. Plenty of seats and fairly quiet place to hang out with friends/study/for a drink. Definitely will go again! Thank you to the lovely staff who served us.

    Lovely place for meetings and coffee/lunch, with a great courtyard to sit in when it's nice weather. The staff in the cafe have been surprisingly rude on my visits, but the food is great. Beautiful building – a bit of a maze so you may have to ask for directions to the toilets!

    Great place to come for a coffee, an oasis in such a busy area. Very reasonable prices

  • 4/5 Monifa M. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely cozy coffee shop. Don't be afraid to wipe your table down before you sit. Aside from that the cakes are gorgeous, there's a kids play area with books, crayons and things to colour, there's homemade tasty food - the staff are super friendly. There are high chairs and the atmosphere is very chill. Perfect place for a coffee outside Euston station and much more relaxed than a standard coffee shop. Extra plus for the welcoming atmosphere, I think it's disability and child friendly.
