We needed a quick bite to eat before heading to Wembley and this spot was perfect. The food was delicious and very reasonable. We’d happily return.

We booked a table through online booking but when we arrives they had no record of it. We wanted a table upstairs but were told we couldn't by a very rude woman who put us at the front of the cafe near the doors where the cold air was coming in. No one came to tell us how to order and eventually we worked out it was at the till. When ordering, the items we wanted were unavailable but we were too tired to go elsewhere so made do with what was available. The rude woman came to give us cutlery and literally slung it onto the table. My partner was all for making a fuss but I said not to although I did speak to the girl on the till about our disappointment. The food was okay but the service was not good.

Always such delicious and nourishing food at The Veg Box Café! Love going here when I want to be refuelled. Always trust their ingredients and leave feeling satisfied. I think they’d just hired a new waitress so service was a little slower but not a huge problem.

Beautiful cafe in the heart of Baker Street, being a vegetarian I was spoilt for choice as there was a variety of dishes - Indian, Italian, oriental etc. I highly recommend this place.

The choice of food is really faultless and the prices are reasonable, especially for a breakfast in central London! Nice clean interior with good facilities on site. The only thing that let's it down slightly is the staff seemed disinterested when I asked about the lovely looking cakes on display. This seemed odd, given Veg Box Cafe's clear passion for local produce.

It was delicious! Also for my little niece who isn't on a plant based diet. Thanks for showing her a really tasty vegan meal.

Very welcoming staff. Food amazing (I'm not vegan, my dining companion was, hence the choice) but I'd eat here regardless and would not feel like I was missing anything. Such delicious, wholesome food at a very reasonable price, especially for the quality. A new favourite for my friend and I to meet in Marylebone.

Does not look much on the outside but inside its a Tardis! Lovely airy upstairs space, excellent menu ( not overwhelming) and the food is delicious. Very helpful and genial staff, it was a pleasurable experience and will definitely go again when next in the area. Added bonus is it is so near Baker Street tube. Highly recommended.

This was our second visit. We are all vegetarians but this time wasn’t the one for my younger daughter and I. I couldn’t have the wedges as they had black pepper and lots of things were spicy. I had humus and some salad thing that was very disappointing. It was spinach leaves with red cabbage. I could t have the third element as it was spicy carrots. My younger daughter ordered the cauliflower cheese pasta but it was too spicy for her and she couldn’t eat it. My elder daughter was okay with her salad as she doesn’t have the sensitivity we do. I’m not sure WHEN these designers of menus and chefs are going to realise that vegetarian food DOES NOT need spice. Herbs and salt and oil and dressing, yes. Spice is a SENSATION NOT a flavour and it’s highly unpleasant and adds nothing but pain to the dish, then suffering. it can’t be taken out so why put it in. For goodness sake give people the option to have it added at point of cooking or preparation as made to taste order. I

The seating was great with lots of space for us. Lighting was nice and bright so we could see the food and we could all hear each other well. Food was lovely and very reasonably priced. We were a table of 10 in the end and they got all the orders and drinks correct and food and tasted lovely. I will definatly go back as there is so much more that I want to try. Highly recommended for lunch brunch and dinner.

The food is very tasteful and healthy. Lovely vegan gem near Baker Street. The decor is nice and the restaurant was fairly quiet when we went there before 6pm on a saturday evening. The manageress is delightful and very accomodating. When we paid, we said that the bowl was not as full as on our previous visit. Straight away, she went to the kitchen and gave us a bowl of healthy food to take away. This is good management for you! Thanks a lot.

Really lovely place, nice decor, good food, pleasant staff, quiet and tranquil. I had the breakfast burrito, which was very good and my daughter had the pancakes, which were really tasty. On the ‘even better if’ side of things, my food could have been a bit hotter and I would have liked the option to add a side of potatoes, but I think these were only available on the lunchtime menu (I may be wrong but seemed that way). A few of the other dishes seemed quite broccoli heavy which ruled them out for me on what is quite a small menu. However, overall we enjoyed what we had and would definitely return.

Finding a completely plant-based restaurant! Not just a standard restaurant with a so-called 'vegan menu' with pretend meat in place of meat. And all the fermented veg - everything was so tasty.

This little restaurant on a busy street was a real find. The staff were very welcoming, pleasant and eager to know what we thought of the food. The food was delicious, very fresh and colourful. We had an early dinner there. Gluten free diets are well catered for. We ate the buddha bowl and curry of the day. Both very well presented and tasteful. Just a litllt comment: it would have been nice to have a slice of bread to accompany both dishes. We ate upstairs and it was pretty quiet and nice. There is a special lunch menu which is very reasonable. I would love to come back for breakfast / lunch but I don't find the menu too appealing. Scrambled tofu.....?!! The 30% off deal was great but be aware that it also applies to drinks but not to sides! I will definitely go back soon! Thank you very much.

Good value for central London. Service was ok, but not great. Table could have done with a better clean. Food was tasty and plentiful. Toilets were clean. Not a fine dining experience, but would certainly visit again for an informal lunch.
