Great little cafe inside the church. I love how they’ve used the space because it does feel like a community. The cafe has nice food options, we had this turnip bake which I really enjoyed. I’ve also had cakes and coffee from here. They also use the space for events which is really nice.

Surprised to have my hot lunch of the day prepared fresh by a chef! It took a little longer than I planned for but it was 100% worth the wait. It's a good value with generous portions. Will definitely be back

Gorgeous interior. Filled with warmth and smiling staff. Food is delicious. I could eat 10 sandwiches just to keep enjoying the blends of flavours. Soup of the day is always exciting. Herbs you have never heard of, foods chosen that compliment each other perfectly. When you order, you have to trust that you really are going to enjoy the food. The ingredients sometimes sound mismatched, but I haven't had anything to complain about yet. They know what they are doing! Very good hot chocolate. Not sickly sweet or too milky, just wish mug was bigger...but it's good for my waistline! Lots of comfortable furniture- like the Central Perk cafe in Friends. Lovely experience every time.

Really the best cafe in earlsfield. Super friendly and accommodating. Lots of space and a magnet for children/ parents/ babies. Food is unbelievably good for the price. Sometimes service for hot food, especially just after the switch from breakfast to lunch menus, can be a bit slow but worth the wait.

Absolute gem in the heart of Earlsfield. The welcome, the setting, the staff and the food combine to make this somewhere really special. Great for any occasion - as welcome to people with a laptop as an NCT group with multiple babies. Spacious and relaxed. The menu is incredible and varied. They also support a wide range of community initiatives so is worth every ounce of love from the community.
