About

The basement cafe serves a changing, fully vegan menu of home-cooked mains such as dhal, pies, stews and curries, alongside cakes and coffee with plant milks. Upstairs, the workers' co-op shop sells a broad range of wholefoods and vegan deli items, but also stocks vegetarian products, so check labels there; reviewers praise the generous portions and low prices.
