Communitea Cafe

This place quickly became our daily go to when working around the corner from Communitea. A lovely spot, always greeted with a warm welcome from the staff. A real grounded and homely vibe with a great music playlist to match! Not to mention the wonderful array of spices, herbs, beans and pulses to choose from.And of course the food and drinks were delicious. Despite not having a huge selection, choice was always difficult as all the dishes were just so good! All in all definitely recommend this lovely café if you are in or around the area!!!

I found the cafe through a recommendation and it did not disappoint. They currently have a pop-up with a Sri Lankan chef. Everything I ate was delicious and they even had gluten free options! I would definitely visit again. The cafe has a relaxed vibe and the staff are friendly! I also loved how they have a pay it forward option for those in need. If you're in the area, I recommend you check out this cafe!!

I'd been to Communitea when it was just set up and had a chat with Reem, one of the co-founders, and today got to meet Amina, the other half of the team. Brilliant atmosphere, the herbal aromas, the spices wafting from the freshly made food, the general vibe... gives a sense of warm belonging!! The masaala tea I had was the bee's knees. I'll be visiting again to widen my tastes!!

A haven for homemade vegetarian and plant-based cuisine nestled in the heart of South Norwood, SE London. Women-owned and LGBTQI+ friendly 🌸 Highly recommend! The atmosphere was warm; the interior taking inspiration from sunnier climes set to the soundtrack of Ethiopian jazz. The perfect lunch spot with offerings of sweet / savoury treats and a range of unique beverages such as the Mushroom Chai Latte & Peppermint Mocha! 🍄 The ‘Pay It Forward’ noticeboard deserves a mention - a generous offering for those in need of a hot drink on a cold day ☔️ Overall, a very enjoyable experience with reasonable prices and a welcome community vibe ✨

An oasis of laid back, funky calm in the bustle of South Norwood. As a vegan I appreciated the choice of three different plant milks (my oat milk latte was delish) and I particularly loved the vegan Rose Chai cake. I’ll be coming back soon as the breakfast and lunch options looked very tempting too.
