Amazing food! Amazing drinks! Amazing service! Incredibly happy with our experience at Covent Garden ☺️

The coffee itself was really good, tried tigernut milk which was nice too. The fruit sourdough would have been delicious but unfortunately because it was a 4cm thick slab it was refrigerator cold in the middle, would have been perfect if it was just sliced in two for even toasting. Beautiful fruit inside though, the bread itself was good quality and I would have liked to buy a loaf to take home if they offered it. Did not like it being drizzled in honey so I think they should ask if people want that rather than just give it as standard. Being a completely gluten free store is wonderful, and my friends who don't need gluten free enjoyed their food too.

This spot is absolutely fabulous. Small cafe with good outdoor space. Everyone here seemed comfortable with the atmosphere (70’s music, relaxed vibe, thoughtful touches like the water and cups). Owner aware of gluten intolerant vs. celiac. Food is top notch. Best I’ve had in a long time. Fresh and everything made in shop. You can taste the good health in each bite. Incredibly balanced and well seasoned. Falafel, tahini, tabbouleh, hummus, pickled turnips were all incredible. Crisp vegetables. Gluten-free wrap was tasty and held up to the generous portion. Busy lunch time at the restaurant and the employees hustled to get the food out quickly. To the people who thought the staff was rude, I say, treat them with respect. The owner was a no-nonsense, genuine person. He was helpful and humorous with me. Savor the food and check your ego at the door.

Had a gluten free bagel which was the worst gf bagel I have ever had. Rock hard, I could barely pinch it. It was disgusting to taste and was either a badly made or incredible stale. Gluten free people steer clear. The filling of eggs and halloumi was average at best. There was so much liquid coming out and pooling in the wrap yet the bagel remained rock hard. Worst $16.50 I’ve spend. Told the server whose answer was it should have been double toasted. No, double toasting could not have saved this.

A great place, if perhaps a touch pricey. Great food, excellent options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free / coeliac requirements

Delicious vegan gluten free sweets and service with a smile.

Food was delicious, but I️’m gluten free and had a horrible reaction after leaving. I️ ordered the octopus & potato (marked on menu as GF) and the kasundi eggplant (paid extras for the GFO) and I️ walked out and instantly got sick. I️ double checked with the server when she brought the dishes and she said they were GF, but they must have made a mistake. Staff was lovely and working very hard which was very appreciated, but wanted to give a fair warning to anyone attending that is also GF

Fantastic 😍 I was craving a gluten free dairy free toastie and found they had it on the menu! I appreciate that they can make fresh to order as many places aren't that flexible. Great vibe. Heads up, parking can be challenging in the area

Didn't enjoy our visit unfortunately. This place used to have so many vegan/veg options. I'm vegan and gluten free and checked the online menu for an option, only to arrive and it wasn't on the menu. I had to alter one of the dishes they had (swap eggs for avocado on GF bread) and it seemed a confusing task. My friend paid $17 for well dressed and presented eggs, toast, relish and potato hash, while I somehow paid $18 for a single piece of dry GF toast with a spoon of avocado mash on the side. With avocado being $7 to add, that means I paid $11 for a piece of dry toast... Our meals were bought out without any cuttlery. My toast was then returned to the kitchen to be spruced up a bit, by the time I got it back my friend was half way through hers and the $11 toast was cold.. There seems to be an understaffing issue as I could see wait staff trying their best but just couldn't keep up. Add the fact my regular coffee was over $7 and it just was a hugely overpriced poorly planned experience I can't see myself coming back.

Great food. Lots of gluten free chokars and help with the meny.

We had the tender and flavourful beef with ghee rice. It was absolutely beautiful. Meat melts in your mouth. The owner gave us a little bowl of tzatziki to have with it which balanced the meal perfectly! The banana bread was gluten free and was probably one of the best we’ve had! Coffee was outstanding. So glad we decided to come here after reading great reviews. Thanks guys. Will spread the word around. The owners are so nice 👌🏻

When I lived in West End I loved coming here with my dog on the weekends! Coffee is great and I loved the raisin toast and gluten free brownie! I’ll be back every now and again when I go to the Saturday markets

I ordered my birthday cake from the angels at Alphabet Cafe and it was delicious and beautiful!! Gluten free and vegan, and sooooo tasty - highly recommend!

I used to work upstairs from this place and went there for lunch regularly for years. It had been about 3 years since I was last in West End when I went there this morning and it did not disappoint. The food here is honestly 10/10, and our breakfast today was everything I dreamed of and more. Staff are always super friendly and it was nice to see so many of the same faces still there! Very good options for vego + gluten free too.
