Excellent pastries!

We got their TooGoodToGo bag which was £3.99 for £12 worth of goodies. If you haven’t got TooGoodToGo I’d recommend it, it’s an app which allows you to pay a discounted price for leftover food to avoid it going to waste!

The cafe was cute with a relaxed vibe and they seemed to have a great selection of food, although as we were going to pick up our TooGoodToGo there was naturally nothing left when we arrived!

Our bag contained 3 Croissants and a Pain Au Raisin. We warmed them for breakfast the next day and they were excellent! The croissants had a lovely flaky pastry and impressive buttery flavour, so good! The Pain Au Raisin was also delicious with a sweet flavour and great squidgy texture. I’m excited to go back and try their other goodies!

Pros: Delicious pastries, Available on TooGoodToGo, Relaxed vibe

Very tasty but a bit pricy

We had the brekkie bowl + "sunny side" tofu, and both were really tasty!
We returned in the morning for leek pinwheel, sandwich, and almond croissant, everything was nice. Prices on the upper side (as is the rule for hip places in Hackney I guess)

Cool vibes

We arrived just before closing but were welcomed in and although the choice at that time was limited the food was delicious. Had the kebab style sourdough - so good, rich and deep taste, and super filling 💚

Pros: Staff were so helpful and pleasant., The vibe is cool, calm and relaxed., Menu range was great.

Cons: Having to leave!😆

Lovely atmosphere

Stayed nearby and found here for breakfast, such a great place! The setting, the staff, the music. It was very relaxing, the food was delicious, beans a little spicey for the morning for me but still nice 😊

Glorious!

This is such a gem in the heart of Hackney. Whenever we come to London, we build this into our trip. Especially nice in the summer when you can get into one of the swinging chairs. The food is super delicious and the pastries are delightful.

Amazing brunch

Visited this gorgeous cafe with non vegan friends. It was a big success, lovely interior and the quality and choice of food was superb. The brunches were sensational, even our friends said it’s one of the best brunches they’ve ever had.

Say hello don’t wave goodbye

One of the best vegan brunches I’ve ever had. A real pleasure to visit and a genuine privilege to experience this residential community setting in the centre of Hackney. Judging by the queues at the door it was evident we were in for an absolute treat. Take a seat, read the menu then join the queue and wait to be served and be given your table buzzer. The kitchen is vibrant and you feel the staff enjoy being here. We had a brekkie bowl with extra bacon and a baked tofu chikn focaccia with coffees. Somehow a chocolate doughnut and choc chip cookie also managed to find their way into a take-away bag although I have no recollection of this actually happening.

Pros: A beautiful place, Fabulous food , Great staff

Visited here twice in August 2024. Lovely food, and really good to have a good range of options. Hot food was top tier, really delicious! The only negative was the crossaint was quite stale and was probably a day or two old. If you're nearby, it's definitely recommended. Pancakes were brilliant alongside the Scrambled Tofu 👌

Brunch of Champions!

Such a great spot with a laid back vibe that you would expect from this part of London, focussing on breakfast/brunch as well as a grab and go counter serving pastries and great coffee.
I ordered the Sunny Side which was an English muffin with scrambled tofu, hollandaise and kale and they knocked it out of the park! An absolute must visit!

Quiet nice place with a great breakfast

Besides that I almost never had a better pancake, I love the Location, tasteful interieurs, beautiful quiete terrace with sun right at breakfast time. Perfekt start for a day discovering London.

Surprisingly tasty is the beetroot late. Even better when ordered with a shot of espresso 😃. Give you the right energy for a longer stroll through the city.

Pros: Great pancakes, Location, Beetroot Latte

This place just went downhill

Prices are crazy, so pretentious. Then to pay the bill you have to select no tip every time if you cannot afford it on top of the silly prices.
Coffee is so bad as well as the latte. It's like they are making an effort to make bad coffee.
Staff now doesn't seem to be in their environment and not very professional imo.

Cons: Extremely expensive, Very bad coffee/latte, Staff not very professional

I WOULD CURSE IF THEY LET ME

Absolutely F$@K&#G incredible. Absolutely F$@K&#G delightful. Absolutely F$@K&#G brilliant. Staff was lovely, atmosphere tip top, and let the sound of the blenders penetrate your tough, trendy, cool interior and take a F$@K&#G sip. Enjoy. I can’t imagine how you couldn’t.

Pros: Smoothies, Food, Service

Cons: Nothing, Nothing , Nothing

Lovely dog friendly place but the matcha latte sucks

Great peaceful place to chill at or work from. I've been looking for a dog friendly cafe with comfortable seating and this spot is perfect. Fully vegan with a lot of delicious options. The only disappointment was the matcha latte as they seem to be using a cheap green tea powder not even matcha and as beautiful as it looks the dried rose petals they put on top really mess with the flavour of an already below average latte.

Pros: Delicious pastries , Dog friendly , Spacious with a lot of seating

Cons: Bad quality matcha

Absolutely delicious

Brunch at Wave kinda made me realise how much I enjoy good vegan food on Sunday morning. The place was packed with people when we came in and that's usually a good sign. I went for the NY bun thingy (don't remember the exact name of the dish). It was just divine. I love anything pickled. And this had it all. Delicious gherkins, sauerkraut and the mustard mayo. We also tried the mango & passionfruit cheesecake and it was divine. We will be definitely coming back for more 😘

Great little place

Lovely cafe & brunch spot with an outdoor terrace to catch the sun. Tucked away off Hackney Central shopping strip. Excellent range of coffees including medicinal lattes with raw cacao and mushroom powders and peanut butter coffee (latter is recommended).

Pros: Outdoor space , Friendly service

Great brunch spot

A must try is the Salted Coffee.

It’s rare to find a fully vegan deli style place, very cute vibes. Only slightly annoying was lots of people with laptops, who you know aren’t moving any time soon - so couldn’t get a seat inside and kinda kills the vibe of a coffee shop.

Pros: Pastries , Vibe , Coffee

Vegan breakfast!

Such a cute cafe with delicious breakfast dishes. Peanut butter salted coffee was a real treat too. We had the brekkie bowl and the sunny side. Both plates were delicious. Added on avocado and La vie bacon too.

Pros: Breakfast, Friendly service

Cons: Long walk from downtown London but worth it

Vegan pastries!

I love pastries and was spoilt for choice at WAVE - I ended up going for an almond croissant and a peanut butter latte (the latter, mostly for the novelty). The croissant was amazing, I haven't had one like that since I went vegan fifteen years ago! The coffee was very nice although hot to handle being served in a glass cup without a handle. That may be the stylish way to serve coffee now though and I am out of date!

I ordered a tofu sandwich and thought the flavors were very delicious. However, I did not like the bread, and this is probably because it was overcooked and very hard on the outside. As such, I only ate the middle of the sandwich and left the outside bun behind. I was still hungry after this, but they were so busy (Sunday afternoon) that there was no way I was willing to wait if I were to put in a second order, so I went elsewhere . I’ll probably give this place another shot next time I’m in the area.

Amazing!

Nice space, very busy and for a good reason. The food was simple but super tasty. I liked pretty much everything - apart from cordyceps latte which was too sweet and couldn't finish it! Will definitely come back soon 😊

A bit disappointing unfortunately

I’d been wanting to come to this cafe for ages and I hate to say it, but I was disappointed.

I’m easily pleased but the sunny side dish, while packed with some lovely flavours and a beautiful presentation, was lacking the touches to make it enjoyable. The English muffin was cold and untoasted so therefore kind of claggy, and the tofu scramble and hollandaise were also both cold. Potentially a little heavy handed with the black salt too.. and the kale had a metallic taste?

The peanut butter latte was an interesting combo, but the coffee aspect of it wasn’t great. Maybe it’s the spoilt Australian within me, but neither the brunch nor the coffee hit the mark for me 😞 and I wouldn’t rush back anytime soon.

The almond croissant was delish though!

Pros: Nice flavours, Beautiful presentation, Delish pastry

Cons: Cold/unfinished food, Buzzer system to collect your food, Limited cold drink selection
