👍👍 A friend recommended this place. The food is amazing. Simple healthy menu yet so flavourful and satisfying! Small, quaint cafe and family friendly. They have a selection of toys to keep my toddler busy. A little pricey compared to surrounding cafes but well worth it. Would definitely come again.

    Wow!!!!! What an amazing find this place was. We had the most amazing boozy brunch! I was blown away by the vegan fry up, huge and full of flavour. BF had the best eggs benedict. Please visit the gorgeous place, wonderful food, amazing staff! The cakes are absolutely delicious too, think I found a new favourite spot!

    A lovely hidden gem just opposite Sainsburys in New Barnet. Really lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great coffee and even better food. I had Halloumi, mushrooms and poached eggs on sourdough bread and it was delicious.

    Can't fault this place. Fantastic cafe with lovely staff and great food. If you're going for brunch, I'd recommend the sourdough (all the toppings are great but I'd start with the pea, mint, feta). Child friendly with a play mat and games inside.

    I always read the low stars reviews and the answers from the owners. (If there is any) So, this is my plate, if you wanna know about the rest, sorry it is has already gone to my belly and memories. Thank you for health friendly food and service... You are now one of my favourite spot in the neighbourhood. Keep it that way, you are not so many... Lastly, please people this place is not your home but they are trying to be, at least. So, respect your home... Love them, support them... Cherish your glow... Thanks...

    A great local coffee shop that is very kid friendly. My wife and I got there around 10:30am on a Saturday morning and there were plenty of seats. Food is very straight and simple with great prices. We got the porridge and halloumi, tomato and avo beagle. Both were very filling.

    I love the Wilds. A good local cafe, with imaginative breakfast and lunch options, lots of choices for vegans and a welcoming atmosphere.

    Visited this place randomly after a Google search. We were looking for something very specific: vegan food, cosy, nearby, not extortionate, baby friendly - this place delivered! They're a small place, can probably seat like ~20 people comfortably, has a small area for children to play, quite small though with little toys. Nothing more than for like 3 year olds and younger. But still very nice idea and our 2 year old loved it. The staff is friendly, talkative and helpful, you can tell the pride what they do. The food however (vegan breakfast) is to die for. Might be some of the best breakfast I've had. Beans aren't canned baked beans, they're like butter beans with little bits of carrot in a tomato sauce, you can tell it's something they make there. Red cabbage salad is incredible, vegan sausage (standard but good). Great toast and smashed avocado. Honestly the food alone is enough to have me back. Last thing I loved about this place was that it has been around for 6 years. It's not a fad or gimmick pop up shop and hopefully they'll be around for much longer.

    Really delicious food and great coffee. The restaurant isn’t huge but they’ve made a space at the back for the kids to play with provided toys and books! Staff are really friendly and the price is reasonable The only mark down is not within their control and that is the road just outside is main road through New Barnet and is very noisy and polluted. I wouldn’t want to sit outside which is a shame as the cafe is extremely good. However, If your in the area it’s the place to go!

    We just discovered this cafe and it was a beautiful gem of a place. The vegan food and children's play area first attracted us to it. The vegan breakfast was one of the best we'd eaten and the coffee was great too.

    An excellent local café serving vegetarian and vegan food. I have been coming here for years and the staff are always friendly and cheerful. The coffee is so good that I have never actually seen the need to try one of their specialist teas! They occasionally have themed evenings with vegetarian or vegan versions of Mexican, Japanese, Thai etc cuisine. Their vegan "Beef Wellington', when available, is especially recommended! Take away or sit in, I can't resist a coffee when I'm passing by :)

    INCREDIBLE food at a really reasonable price for London. I would totally recommend this place, it had super cosy vibes and really friendly staff, too. We'll definitely be coming back!

    I love coming here with my little boy. We’ve been going since he was about 6 months old, he’s now nearly 3. The food is delicious and so fresh. Child friendly with toys. The staff are all really nice.

    Lovely cafe with a really good (and very reasonably priced) breakfast/brunch and always very puppy friendly.

  • 1/5 Pamela H. 10 months ago on Google
    First and last time visiting. Very expensive, £13 for 2 meagre sandwiches tea and coffee. My friend sandwich was sent back twice, both were bland and dry. Very noisy unhelpful staff and couldn't even work out my change. Definitely not recommend

    Came here because I was in new Barnet and wanted a coffee and some food! I was greeted by a lovely blonde woman, (I forgot her name I’m sorry) she was so lovely! And offered me some of the homemade carrot cake, which was unreal! I stayed for some amazing coffee and a great smashed avacado. The vibe in there was great and I was charmed by the lovely woman , I can’t wait to come back!!! Thanks!

    One of the best cafes in the area. Family run, good coffee, tasty food and a friendly community atmosphere make this a great place to spend a morning

    Best community cafe I have had the pleasure of visiting. Staff are friendly and polite. A nice place to work from with either children. Best of all they enjoyed playing with Daisy the Weimaraner.

  • 2/5 Jade L. 2 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere was tense. Felt like we were a chore for the barista who seemed annoyed she was serving us. Just went in for a takeaway coffee with 3 small children and a dog. Surprised to see they are 'child and dog friendly'. Would not recommend

    I recently discovered this place since moving to the area and am just in love with it. It is baby and toddler friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and generous portions for kiddies too. This cafe has a wonderful ethos and you feel it in the atmosphere when you visit- friendly, warm and relaxed. I'm thrilled to have this on our doorstep and think it is an outstanding contribution to the local community. Thank you for creating such an incredible space for us to enjoy and such delicious home cooked food and cakes!

    Lila and Sian are super lovely and so accommodating. They care so much about the local community and provide such a wonderful vibe in the cafe. We should all be supporting independent cafe such as this one! The food was super delicious. I cannot recommend enough!
