Hornbeam Cafe - East London

A Tuesday to gleaner’s cafe’ am hornbeam for lunch that works on a pay-as-you-feel basic. great community feeling, really relaxed and informal, with delicious meals too. had suppe, kimchi, sourded brot and pesto and was very satisfied! definitely worth checking and supporting as a brilliant community project. updated by previous review on 2020-01-26

Really great brunch and frit, minze cordial, fantastic coffee, decent size shares! comes back.

Perfect as I thought I was gonna starve in Walthamstow because I was far away from home and far from any other vegan food place that Walthamstow felt like a desert of just fried animal based foods so this place saved me.

Nice relaxed cafe where we had a great leek and tofu quiche with two interesting salads beetroot and couscous and black bean soup. Cakes looked nice but it was near 4 on a Sunday and they started selling out.

I'm pretty sure everything here is vegan as standard except you can order eggs with the brunch instead of tofu scramble at the weekend and they serve dairy milk if you ask for it. But other than that all the food is vegan. My favourite cafe for affordable vegan food. I usually go for the sausage and tofu scramble sandwich but the soups, curries and tarts are great as well. They now sell a small range of vegan items like nutritional yeast, vegan cheese etc and there are lots of events on the evenings now including music nights and supper clubs. You can also refill on various cleaning products there to cut back on packaging.
