I'm so glad I did. My lovely waitress Erene was smiley and friendly and, as a fellow vegan, she was able to highly recommend my choice of the vegan Glazed Chocolate Avocado cup cake, which was heavenly .There were other vegan offerings which I was surprised and delighted by and at least two non dairy milks to choose from for my tea. It's lovely to be in a fully glazed cafe, even on rainy day, so this was the perfect end to my afternoon of dancing I'm at the Royal Festival Hall Queen Elizabeth Hall usually every 2-3 weeks for dance events so I have a feeling I'll be a very regular patron of this lovely cafe, whether it's raining or not.

It’s at the heart of southbank, modern art influence. I’d a honey brewed beer which was nice; wife had a cocktail.. we had this nuts mix which was quite unique.. Overall good experience..

The music was enjoyable, the drinks were decent (though some cocktails were not great), and the prices were reasonable. On a crowded sunny day by the waterloo where locals and tourists were bustling about, we stumbled upon it and stopped in for a drink or two. Due to limited seating, we had to stand by the bar. While I wouldn't mind returning, it wouldn't be my top choice. Overall, it was an okay experience.
