Great little cafe with a varied menu and hands down the best gluten free cakes I have ever had - I will honestly keep going back just for the cake, but everything about this relaxed cafe makes it worth a repeat trip. The staff are all lovely too - what’s not to like?

Went to Blackfriars for a wine an and tapas tasting night.m, it was absolutely delicious. The guide talking us through all of the different wine and why they were paired with the food was excellent and very well informed, so well educated on wine and could answer every question. Plus all of the food that we had was delicious, well made and beautifully presented.

As someone that has coeliac disease and needs a gluten free diet. I can't recommend this place enough. Very reassuring with allergies, we were asked numerous times if anyone had any. Food was excellent along with the drinks and service. Bottomless brunch was 10/10
