Gecko Coffeehouse: Reviews & Ratings
My favorite cafe in London! The coffee is absolutely delicious, the space is open and comfortable, and the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. A perfect spot to relax or work.
Hungry hubby finished the croissant in 1 min (from my wife) but good. Friendly service, comfortable environment to enjoy a cup of coffee.
The atmosphere was the most comfortable among the cafe I've been to in London. The comfortable botanical interior, the natural-feeling dishes, and the spacious basement. Also, the lattes and cake were delicious, and especially, I sat there with my friend for a long time, and the staff didn't notice and were comfortable and friendly. I'd like to recommend it :) Thank you
Nice vegan cafe with an excellent internal decor and welcoming staff. I had a cortado and it came in a small neat wooden tray with a short glass of water. That is a very nice touch and a complimentary element to coffee that is sadly not widespread in this country. I also had half an aubergine and pomegranate sandwich that had a fresh acidic punch to it and was served in a great bread. The owner asked me about my opinion on it and we had a pleasant conversation. If you are feeling like having a nice vegan selection of choices and good coffee served with great form, Gecko Coffeehouse is your place to go.
This is a very bright and friendly plant based coffee shop. All the coffee drinks are made with oat milk (almond milk or coconut milk is also available. Besides typical pastries, there is a small menu of breakfast foods. We had the acai bowl and the avocado and thyme toast. Both were delicious. You cannot sit and work on your laptop upstairs, but there is a special space downstairs where laptops are allowed. Great place with friendly staff and good food!
Top vegan cafe with great coffee, savoury/sweet meal options and pastries. Had the protein pancakes and gecko breakfast. So delicious! Drinks were nice too. Also got a carrot cake to take home. Note:there is plenty downstairs seatingfor a comfortable sit in, many used this as a work space too.
Their kimchi sandwich was out of this world. I love that you can pick half portions in case you want to try different sandwiches or have room for something sweet! Music was not too loud and prices are decent
Loved the atmosphere, the design and music! Very friendly staff. Nice place to enjoy brunch or coffee. Didn’t try food this time, had just peppermint tea, but I will definitely return!
