Great fully vegan café - Edit
We came here for an event with Made in Hackney for Jamaican Hurricane Relief. We had the Indian style afternoon tea which was delicious and Shilpa and her employees looked after us well.

Awful muffins - Edit
I made a trip on a Tuesday at midday and they were closed, even though opening hours said they should have been open. Went and had lunch elsewhere. Passed by on way home and saw it was now open, so went in, and was told they open at 11.30 am (they definitely had not been that day). Paid £9 for two take away muffins, which were frankly awful. Dry, tasteless and stale. Absolutely shocking price!

Tasty lunch - Edit
I just had lunch at Soul Bowl... Very friendly owner, nice staff, clean and tidy and best of all fully vegan whoopp!
Read moreI had a tofu Bowl, which was lovely and my husband had the mock beef wrap and that was amazing! I'll def have the mock beef next time. We had to wait quite a while but were given lush pain au chocolates to eat whilst waiting *bonus* I will def be back and highly recommend.
Only downside, bland music.

I mentioned the lack of music further to our visit, suggesting something classical Indian might go down well, any thoughts on non-bland options? I shared https://pplprs.co.uk/themusiclicence/sectors/restaurants-cafes which mentions the benefits of background music.

Bowled Over - Edit
I missed the original high tea, as away, but luckily Veganuary was rounded off with an additional date; due to popular demand. Well worth my trip up from SE18 (for our get-together via meetup.com/LHCveg), comes highly recommended.

Great Experience - Edit
I went for high tea at Soul Bowl with a friend, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious, but we couldn't finish it all! We also had unlimited tea, I had chamomile and my friend had peppermint tea. The only downside was the noise from the restructuring work going on next door, which was the old Barclays Bank, but that couldn't be helped.
Read morePros: The service was just right. Not intrusive at all., The person serving us was very helpful., The space is very clean and inviting.
