    Great ambience, service and delicious food and drink! Ordered a salad croissant, beetroot latte (was big!) and coconut lemon cake. A choice of different milks when ordering and the menu looked great! Will come back again!

    I am so in love with pinch. It’s rare to get such good quality food in south for such an affordable price. Everything on the menu is done to such a high standard, it feels so personalised. Visiting pinch fast became the highlight of my whole week and you must try for yourself. Great food, amazing workers and an amazing, calming atmosphere.

    My favourite cafe in Tooting! Fully vegan and has pastries too which are almost impossible to find. The staff is LOVELY and the food is incredible my favourite is the guacamole cheese sandwich.

    I cycled here with my partner for brunch. The staff are all friendly, accommodating, the restaurant is clean and well decorated and the food was delicious. I had the full English vegan breakfast and my partner had the avocado on toast and we had an oat latte and oat flat white. We asked for some spicy sauce and they made a chilli basil infusion. Very much enjoyed the experience and look forward to trying the vegan roast soon.

    I love this place, and I'm not vegan. I recommend the grilled cheese sandwich and the bean burrito. But the best thing about Pinch café is the service, thanks to Kuba. A great chef, always smiling and working hard for his customers. A hidden gem in Tooting, not only for vegans.

    I am not currently vegan, & I LOVE this cafe!! Everyone should come here, vegan or not, because the food, atmosphere, and staff are absolutely wonderful. Kuba and Wicki make it feel like home, and always make your day a bit brighter. Kuba puts an impressive amount of detail into the menu concept and execution, and every dish that i have ever had here has been delicious! My favourite item on the menu is the vegan Full English, with the BEST toast ever! The mushrooms are also to-die-for. Kuba bakes all of the cakes himself, and they are (as far as I am aware) all gluten free. The coffee is great, and the music is chill. Space for bike parking right outside, access to a loo, and indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend :)

    Love this hidden gem. They serve my favourite hot chocolate in Tooting. Customer service is always good and friendly. Prices are reasonable too. I hope it doesn’t get too popular!

    Come support this business! We were floored by the quality of food we received. Very fresh and tasty. Additionally, the owner is a genuine guy who's doing it for all of the right reasons. As a vegan restaurant owner myself, to do it right you've got to have the right mission and intentions. This owner definitely has it all and great items as well. We're hoping to stop by a few times before our trip to London ends. Don't sleep on this cozy vegan breakfast/lunch spot with amazing beverages.

    10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My sister and I popped in for breakfast this morning and tried the Avocado Sourdough Toast and the Pinch Signature Bean Burrito. Both were delicious and beautifully presented! We asked if we could get a few to-go items for our flights the next morning and the gentleman that helped us went way above and beyond, packaging our airplane meals with such extra care and even added some little surprise snacks! We were so happy and grateful. It was so nice to find a great vegan cafe with such excellent service. Thank you!!!

    Best vegan breakfast in Tooting. The seating feels a bit like a reception, because it is really. Do not let this put you off. The food was fantasitc, well priced and the coffee was good too (and served in great mugs!). Worth a visit

    Came here a couple of Saturdays ago, accidental find. Needed to stop with my little one. Lovely little cafe and run by lovely people. Very welcoming and accommodating. Outside area is very cute and great for pushchairs. Lovely coffee and hot drinks selection. Thank you for having us guys we’ll be back!

    A wonderful, cosy environment with equally comforting food and drinks. The waiter who served me was super lovely and very attentive. A great vegan option.

    Lovely smoothies (my fave is moringa) and coffee, and nice geez who runs it 😊 Cool little find in Tooting, just off Mitcham Road.

    Situated in what appears to be a shared community space, you might mistake Pinch for a reception area. However as you adjust to your surroundings you'll notice the dozens of spice jars and brightly coloured plant pots, filled with a variety of herbs such as mint, dill, parsley and corriander, there are tomato plants boasting lush red home grown fruits, advocado stones germinating in glass dishes and an abundance of other decorative suculants and house plants. This is definitely a nature inspired space and it really eases you into a relaxed frame of mind. The seating outside is lovely and comfortable, it's also exposed to the warming summer's sun for most of the day, paired with a cooling cross breeze it's a great place to eat away the hours - the only downside is the busy high street road, but in London I feel like the distant rumble of heavy traffic is unavoidable no matter where you go. The owner Kuba and (I think) his partner were a great duo, very welcoming and attentive, but not too overbearing. Full of charisma and genuine charm we were seated and proceeded to order. Pricing on the menu was as I would expect from an independent operation such as Pinch - but value for money the portions were both generous and perfect sized! The quality of food was phenomenal, everything had a fresh and natural palette, with a slight Mediterranean twist. My partner and I ordered several dishes and shared each 50/50 in an attempt to experience all they had to offer. I can't recommend a single dish over another as they all looked and tasted fantastic - I can't fault the menu at all... Which brings us on to the desserts, oh the desserts! Be sure not to fill up and leave space for sweets - if you can only manage one be sure to try the Oreo cheesecake (or a VERY close second the brownie and mousse combo'). Also on offer are a variety of fresh homemade fruit juices, lemonades and smoothies - fresh brewed coffees, teas and other hot drinks. All in all an oasis of great food and fantastic vibes - we shall most definitely be returning. Recommended to others? YES! 💚✅
