Friend's Café 😌 - Edit
They call it 'Friend's Café' and it really is. Quaker-owned. Several vegan options, a very good salad & soup of the day are always vegan as well as some convenience 'sushi', crisps and croissants (pastries). Actual freshly prepared coffee, too. Lemonades. Around 50 seats, across the street f/ Euston train station. Prices are fine coz you may sit on a table and eat. Could easily go full vegan.

Nice - Edit
Just had coffee & a vegan muffin but would like to try more next time. The muffin was good but not as good or big as the one I had at Thenga Cafe. It's very busy there too.
Read morePros: Nice muffin, friendly staff

Vegan/vegetarian café - Edit
Many vegan options, including a couple of hot meals, packaged sandwiches and sushi, a couple of sweet desserts, a vegan soup and jacket potatoes. Coffees, teas, cold drinks. I enjoyed the crispy tofu patties, served with baby potatoes and green salad (choice of three salads). The vegan cherry bakewell slice was delicious.
Read moreBusy place but still available tables when I arrived on a Wednesday at 12:30 pm. Booths around the corner of the café. I’ll certainly eat here whenever in the area.

An oasis off Euston Road - Edit
About half of the veggie food here is vegan - hot and cold, sweet and savoury. It's clearly marked and the friendly staff will also guide you. It's buffet style and self-service from the fridge so it's quick if you don't have much time.
Read moreI really enjoyed my herby beetroot wellington with perfectly roasted potatoes and salad - great value at £7.95. Beetroot isn't usually my fave but the pastry lattice's good looks reeled me in and delivered!
The light, airy seating area extends into the bookshop and into booths lining the gardenside walkway where there's also a water cooler.
It's a similar vibe to the Shaw Cafe at LSE if you're familiar with that - worth checking out if you're not!

Tasty and hearty food - Edit
Good flavours on a small but hearty range of dishes. Nice selection of cakes and drinks too and the whole atmosphere was pleasant and perfect when waiting for friends at Euston.

Gorgeous little spot - Edit
Stumble out of Euston station with your bags and you can fill up on a delicious meal in a lovely comfortable setting.
Read moreThe info on here is now incorrect though-the food is NOT all vegan, they have veggie dishes too.
My omni husband had a feta cheese quiche with wedges salad and coleslaw and I had vegan lasagne, wedges and salad, both were absolutely delicious and with two fentimens drinks it was 21 quid which I thought was rather reasonable in central London.

Read morePros: Great nutritious vegan options, Amazing location directly opposite Euston station, Very reasonable pricing

Handy for Euston station - Edit
Quaker Centre Cafe is an omni cafe with a menu that changes daily (see their Facebook page) - vegan options are labelled. Fewer vegan lunch options on Saturday's but the homemade soup is vegan and they sometimes have vegan sandwiches. They also have a vegan cake/cupcakes and cereal bars. Fruit salad and soya yoghurts are available in the fridge and vegan icecream in the freezer.
Read moreNote that the restuarant is open week day lunchtimes only. The cafe has longer opening hours, opening at 8am. It is close to Euston station so handy for train travellers. They use recycled/recyclable products and their take away cups are biodegradable.
A range of organic/fairtrade products are also available to purchase and they stock Zaytoun products including delicious dates.
Pros: Affordable, Seasonal menu, Open early
Cons: Limited vegan hot food on Saturday

Good restaurant food and plenty of it - Edit
I've eaten here several times and the portions are always huge. The menu changes daily because it's seasonal. The soup seems to usually be vegan and the mains seem to always be vegetable-based - I've never seen tofu, tempeh, seitan etc on the menu. There are cooked veg, breads and a salad bar. The food is well made of fresh ingredients if not particularly original or exciting. It is a very nice surprise to find vegan ice cream available. The downside of the restaurant is the dining room is a bit institutional.

Pros: Big portions, Good ingredients, Vegan ice cream
Cons: Not much atmosphere in the dining room, Will be too pricey for some
