Pipoca

I absolutely loved how this place was decorated and the zero waste store next door was really neat. I ordered a flat white and a croissant but wasn’t really into either of them. Firstly, I think they made me a latte rather than a flat white, as I could barely taste coffee and the oat milk seemed a little tasteless. I unfortunately don’t like lattes. The croissant had potential but I think the one I got might have been older because it was dry, yet greasy. I’d give this place another shot. Doesn’t hurt that they have a cute dog who hangs out and greats everyone!

Delicious Crepes

What a superb find! 100% vegan crepeire with a wonderful variety of savoury and sweet options as well as Brazilian bowls and sandwiches. They also have a small breakfast menu. The Gonzola Crepe (vegan cheese, sundried tomato, walnuts, spinach and carmalised onions) was delicious as was the flavoursome Moqueca Bowl.
The restaurant has a lovely, calm atmosphere and staff is efficient and friendly. The zero waste grocery store attached is also worth a look.

Delicious food

We had the dujhan savory crepe which was great. My partner thought it was too sweet with the maple syrup in the dressing but I loved it and all the healthy flavors with spinach, sun dried tomato, mushrooms, and the asparagus. We also got the aubergine and courgette lasagna which has some killer garlic bread on the side to dunk in the tomato sauce. Yum! The lasagna had awesome fresh herbs but my partner was thinking it was all aubergine and no courgette. It was more like a lentil soup with layers of aubergine but again I thought the taste was excellent. I’d go back for sure. Great pastries too.

Delicious savory gonzola gallete

I love their savory gallete gonzola, came twice for it.

Moon milk is also delicious and my go to. So comforting.

Staff members are very friendly. I love this place and their organic-vegan shop by the side.

Definitely return.

Best smoothies

I've been coming to Pipoca for some years and it's one of my faves. The food, service, playlist and vibe are consistently delightful and the menu is unique. The smoothies set a bar I've yet to find matched elsewhere - I've tried and failed to emulate them at home (what's their secret?!) so I just have to go back.

Nice place

The restaurant is all vegan and is attached to a vegan zero waste store. It’s informal and pay by counter but the food is very nice. I had the lasagne, which wasn’t really what I’d call a lasagne as it didn’t contain any pasta but was a really nice tomato stew with veg. Would definitely visit again

Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff

Nice crepes

Very nice sweet crepes, all fresh made to order. The staff was chatty and friendly. Will try savoury options next time. The store next door was very well stocked and convenient to shop while you wait for the food😃

Our favourite cafe in London!

I love this place so much, the food is amazing and the overall atmosphere of the place is so lovely. It is great for gluten free options especially as the galettes are naturally gf but our favourites are the bowls. The zero waste shop attached is a great bonus. We recommend it to everyone we know😄

Pros: Great gluten free options, Delicious food, Beautiful decor

Delicious galettes and sandwiches

We tried the Dujhan galettes and El pesto for brunch and they were both very good. The El Pesto was the most savory with delicious tomatoes and olives. We also got 2 sandwiches to go and ate them later. The smoked salmon had the best vegan smoked salmon I’ve ever had. 😍 It reminded me of real lox. The hummus with veggie and smoked tempeh was also amazing. I highly recommend this place for a great vegan brunch or lunch. They also have vegan pastries, coffee and a connected grocery store. They’re a real gem.

Healthy

Ordered the Brixton brunch, which didn’t quite look the same as previous reviews of the same dish on here but it was tasty and filling. Also got the avo toast which was also tasty but only 1 slice

food made with love

A rustic cafe with many gluten free vegan offerings. The feijoada was wonderful. The crepes/gallettes are very nice, both the sweet and savory types. More casual than expected and a bit of a journey (from isle of dogs), however it’s all about the food here. Food made with love.

Nice crepes

The crepes were so good and not too expensive either! Breakfast for 2 came to £10! Love that there are lots of options to choose from. The bagel was a bit dry and needed more seasoning/hot sauce in my opinion (but i’m being picky). Cute bill store next door too.

Horrible owner, cold atmosphere, terrible brunch

I came here with a group of six on Sunday. It was very cold when we arrived - heating had clearly been turned off to save costs which really didn’t give it a welcoming vibe at all.

It steadily got from bad to worse. Tables were horribly close to each other and almost felt like our group were invading the table next to us. The cook looked miserable and what was worse was the lady who owned the place.

Towards the end of our meal, two people had come in and she proceeded to yell at them and chase them down the street. It was really shocking for our entire table as we had obviously come for a good time only for the end of it to be ruined by her senseless screaming.

As I like supporting local businesses, I was totally shocked to discover that she shouted at potential customers in such a way that would make me reconsider coming again. I really regretted giving her my business and as a local, am disappointed I’m going to have to look for a new place! A memorable brunch….for all the wrong reasons!

A Vegan Aladdin's Cave

This is a great place which I found thanks to Too Good to Go. shop, café, offering refill service of just about everything from washing up liquid to balsamic vinegar via dried fruit. There's a shop area and a café area which is also licensed. The prices are reasonable, the food is good, staff are friendly, the place is spotlessly clean. It has a really lovely atmosphere.

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff, Lots of products for refilling you own containers

The Galettes are amazing!!

I had the chocolate hazelnut spread galette and it was so so good! And only £4.50. It was fairly quiet and I didn’t feel particularly welcome as they seemed fairly busy with other jobs but otherwise it was a good atmosphere with a few people sitting and doing work. Rest of the menu looks amazing too.

Environmentally friendly vegan shop!

I really loved this shop and cafe. They have a low waste idea where you fill your own container thus reducing plastic waste. They had all sorts of things on tap and in jars. Eg herbs, i think teas, fruits, nuts, dates, chocolate chips, washing up liquid, basalmic vinegar and so on. They also had lots of vegan soaps too! They also have things like miso, jams, and lots of stuff for all types of cooking including spaghetti, black bean sauce etc

I also bought a freshly baked chocolate cookie which was amazing! Not too sweet and the cookie was nice and sift and the chocolate divine.

Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Best part is that they are 100% vegan!!!

Pros: Vegan and accepts card payments, Low waste concept, Delicious cookie

Cons: Tote bag was a bit pricey at £6.50.

Outstanding vegan crepes

We loved it. As a Frenchie I missed savoury crepes and this place delivered. I had the one with plantain and jackfruit in it and my partner had the one with vegan gorgonzola. The drinks were delicious too. The place also sells art from local artists and plants, and they have a zero waste shop next door. What more can you ask for??

Pros: Delicious savoury crepes, Lots of plants, Fully vegan

Super cute inside with walls of zero waste stuff and a open plan kitchen with loads of yummy options. Staff were really kind and helpful. I went to pick up some too good to go foods so I didnt know what I actually ate - but it was yummy!!

The place is nice and the food as well , the atmosphere doesn't represent the right concept of the shop, gallettes are absolutely the best thing to try.
Overall only service to be improved.

Pros: Lovely Gallettes , 100% vegan food, zero waste , Shop, nicely priced.

Cons: Service, only seats outside, no reservations,, Uncomfortable seating.

Generous and tasty galettes!

Lovely staff and very very generous galettes. Would suggest to add some vegan cheese or extra sauce to your galette for a perfect taste. Thanks for a lovely dinner!
