Came back the next day for breakfast, which generally doesn't require a reservation. The food was good. Pretty quiet atmosphere. No complaints. It's a good place for a simple vegan meal and conversation. They take all forms of credit cards, so no issues there. Basically, I would recommend it especially if you're on a vegan style diet.

The food was really not that good. The appetizer was a cauliflower dish and it was so crunchy it was like it wasn't cooked. The main was basically spaghetti, which I can make better at home. I like to go out to get plant based food that I can't make at home. The tiramisu and the drink were good. They also charge you a discretionary fee. I would be glad to tip, but don't just add a fee on my bill. Not worth the $79/USD.

Chill little cafe located in one of the nicer, and busier areas of Notting Hill, with a healthy…read moremenu, and a price tag to match. Truth be told, this little joint wasn't on my radar; I was actually searching for a different coffeeshop that I never found. Still, I was pretty famished, and I've had enough of brassieres to last me a lifetime. The service was friendly, right off the bat, and although I wasn't given the most comfortable table- given that I was alone- it wasn't a bad spot to dine in. The menu was pretty typical of vegan restaurants, with its usual gamut of "safer-than-soy" mushroom burgers, soups, salads, sandwiches, and a whole lot of superfood smoothies and tonics. With, again, a price tag to match. I went with their Redemption Burger- because it sounds so cool, doesn't it? It packs just about every superfood mushroom you can think of- from Reishi to Chaga and some other ones I can't pronounce- and flavorful veggies, all nestled between a charcoal bun, which, aside from looking cool acts as an extra toxin magnet when eaten in moderation. It also comes with a side of spicy slaw, and some fries, which to be honest, were on the soggier side of crispy. The whole meal, sans drink, came out to just under £20; which, while pretty darn delicious, I'm not sure I would pay again. I mean, it raised my acidity, for one thing. Still, we do a lot of things in the name of our health, and there are definitely worse places to eat in the area.

I went here for the first time about a month ago…read more LOCATION: This location is in Notting Hill, which is nice district of the city. 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: The decor gives off an ambiance that is pretty hip and chill lol. I really like the marble tables. The only thing I would say is that I think adding some more darker elements to the space would make it easily even better (e.g. the white walls are kind of boring). Lol I'm no interior decorator though -- I'm just sharing my thoughts. 3/5 SELECTION: It's all vegan and a lot of it is whole-food oriented, so there's not really anything super-processed on the menu, which is good. There's also a nice variety on the menu too -- breakfast foods, salads, bowls, pastas, burgers, soups, sides, etc. 4/5 WHAT I GOT: I got their Tokyo Bowl with the dressing on the side. It was okay, but I just wish I got something else instead because it was kind of lackluster in my opinion. It comes with brown rice, avocado, cucumber, radish, chilli, hijiki seaweed, and sesame seeds. To me, it just tasted like onion-y rice, and onions always leave a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, it tasted fresh and the ingredients seemed of good quality, but I guess it just wasn't the dish for me. I'm not gonna keep bagging on it though because I just should've thought it out better and gotten something else, especially considering the other people I was with's meals looked good and tasted pretty good from the bites I got to try. I'd definitely go back here to do that. 3/5 SERVICE: The service was pretty good. Our waiter was nice -- he even noticed that one of our tables was wobbly and bent down and all to fix it, even though it wasn't even a big deal and we didn't even ask. The rest of the staff seemed fine too. And, our food came out in good timing as well. 4/5

This may have been the wrong choice here, but it was really so dry and lacked flavor. He also had a chai latte and you couldn't taste any chai.

When we arrived, it seemed like reservations were expected, and they did have some available, but they kindly seated us anyway. We chose the tasting menu since it featured a variety of farm-fresh dishes. My husband added the wine pairing. We started with a mushroom marmite éclair, which was better than I expected, followed by buttery Queenie scallops, a cheese course, chorizo, and beef bavette. Dessert was chocolate mousse, but I asked to switch to pie, and they were happy to accommodate. The ambiance felt like a cozy English countryside diner. I loved the details about the farm and the little pamphlet about where the food came from. Every dish was so thoughtful. This place is a hidden gem. We would absolutely come back to try the tasting menu again when it changes. Also, the crispy potatoes were incredible.

I don't know when The Quince Tree Café took up residence here, but the sport was the former home of a Daylesford outlet. The nursery surrounding of the café lend to a tranquil environment. It is easy to forget that you are in the heart of Maida Vale. When the sun is out, it would be harder to find a nicer sport in West London to enjoy a brunch. They also serve breakfast, lunch and offer an afternoon tea option. I tend to just come here to enjoy a slow Latte and take in atmosphere. It is also a popular meeting point for mothers in the area. There are plenty of high chairs and they also offer a children's menu. If you're looking for a fast service, this is not the place for you. The slow service though added to this places charm for me, as it felt as though I was enjoying a short spell in the countryside, where time is less important. The Quince Tree café also cater for private parties and wedding receptions. If you're in the area, it is well worth a visit.
