The Green Room Cafe

I spent a really lovely October Sunday afternoon, out back in the pretty garden with a delicious & rich salad (avocado, feta, pesto, amongst other tasty green leaves; I know not often can one find a fatty salad!) & a glass of wine. I just looked up this place’s name so I could recommend it to a friend & was surprised to see all the bad reviews — my server was friendly & attentive and the food was great. Will be back!

I've read some poor reviews of this place on here but my experience was a pleasant one. We entered before lunchtime and were greeted happily by the owner who chatted to us for a while. Then we took our seats in the back garden. Somebody came to take our orders after a couple of minutes and served us in no time at all. Everybody was super friendly and happy. The coffee was ok but the vegan choc/banana cake was amazing! I felt like buying and eating the whole cake right there and then, but I controlled myself and only had one slice. I'll definitely go back for more though. The garden is pretty and the interior is cozy. They sell plants at the front too which is pretty cool.

Really good setting for a bit of lunch. Love the combination of the garden shop/theme with the cafe. Coffee was okay and the food was very good. They have good vegetarian/vegan options. Have seen a lot of reviews mentioning the no laptops rule, but someone was in there using a laptop and it wasn’t a problem! If people can work quietly and considerately then this could be a good way of keeping the place busy throughout the afternoon!

The Green Room is... how can I put it? The place that's gone the fastest to the top of my list of brunch places in London. The place is absolutely beautiful: spacious, well lit, with a plant-shop at the front!, dog-friendly, with minimal but tasteful décor, ample chairs and tables made of old sewing machines. Delightful! The food is scrumptious. From brunch classics to hard to find combinations like quince pancakes. Beautifully cooked, well presented, very fast to get to the table and an explosion of flavour at every morsel. Local ingredients and in-house baked cakes. What else do you want? And I'm leaving the best for the last: the people. The staff is marvelous. I can't emphasise this enough: friendliest, nicest, most cheerful and welcoming people ever. Can't wait to go again!
