Absolutely love this place and its biophilic theme. It’s spacious and airy with a lot of natural light coming in, and exposed brick walls. There are lots of plants around (some which they are selling) and eco-friendly and ethical merchandise displayed for sale. It feels cosy and a world away. Easy going sound track put on and it’s a conducive space for work or meetups. Staff are friendly as well. Coffee was delicious. Ordered the big breakfast £13 (quite pricy for its ingredients but it comes with a free juice/bloody Mary) and it was flavourful and of good quality. I thought the chilli jam was brilliant. I also liked how I can get chilled still water from a draft tap. The attention to details, be it food or deco is what makes this cafe stands out. Quality cafe and solid concept.

Very Eclectic Cafe. From the Glass and Raw metal door frame. This store will inform you of the New Energy of the area. You will feel very welcome and If you know how 'to behave' in a cafe/gift store, inside of a historic venue it is very worth a look.

Used to live in Clapton a couple of years ago and that was always my place to go! Gorgeous! Just lovely and you can tell it’s made with love and passion. Today I came back to do some work like good old days and it just looks even more beautiful than before!

My mother in law ate here recently and had a bit of a sore tummy after but didn’t think much of it. My husband and father in law got sandwiches from Tram Store the following week and while my father in law got away with only a few bouts of diarrhoea (which is horrendous enough!), my husband was extremely ill for the remainder of the day and night.

To make matters worse his order was a gluten free, vegan sandwich which makes one seriously wonder what on earth could have gone so wrong!

Clearly there is a seriously hygiene issue here.

Avoid at all costs!!

The place itself was super beautiful, such a shame that a wonderful place like that has such rubbish staff. I came in at a quiet time and there were 4 people behind the till busy talking amongst themselves. The first two I encountered so engrossed in conversation that though I managed to get eye contact with them both, they didn't bother greeting me or helping me. I proceeded to the end of the counter to get help, was ignored for a while before I was told to go back and order with the first two team members who had ignored me, and I had to really cut across to order my coffee. Upon leaving I said my usual " bye and thank you" and despite having eye contact with two baristas, no reply. It's so basic stuff they are failing that despite the beautiful surroundings, I am not coming back, especially considering their coffee prices are also higher than other shops in the area.
What a pity.

I asked a stranger where I could grab a coffee and she not only recommended you but walked me to your cafe. As a photographer I’m very into ambience and atmospheric spaces and was smitten by your interior. Unusually I only had my iPhone with me. I grabbed some shots and made them my own. Best of all was the coffee. It more than lived up to my exacting standards. If I’d had longer - I was on my was to a shoot- I would have ordered breakfast. Love your place. Love the friendly staff. Highly recommend. Next time I’m up your way I’ll pop in for some food x

Excellent breakfast and excellent customer services. Nothing was too much. Warm and friendly with a good sense of humour. Fab decor of old stables and beautiful floral and plant displays. Tasty food presented well. Its the second time I've been here and would defo recommend this place. I had scrambled tofu with smashed avocado on sourdough bread and portobello mushrooms and chilli jam. I cannot wait to rebook again. They had an outdoor area to sit and eat, but was small with a poor view, but they made the best with the small outdoor space they had.
