“A very special cafe with an even more special owner. A very recently opened independent Cafe with lots of seating options, big windows which allows plenty of sunlight, and a large selection of homemade food and drink options. Also the best chai latte I've ever had, made by the lovely volunteer batista Levi. The owner makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in, and is always on hand to help or have a good chat. Feels like being at your mum's house. Please please please visit 🙏”

A great concept with ‘ Pay it forward’ Love it. We live in the one of the most expensive places in the world. It takes one kind gesture from a stranger, for someone who really needs positivity, great surroundings, great food & drinks. If you are in & around the SE5 area, you have to pay them a visit. Keep up the great work Team Gayle’s CHARLES CLK

Lovely stylish cafe, friendly staff, good food. We had a simple coffee party after my daughter's wedding. There were 16 of us. We combined 2 large tables to form a big one. We enjoyed cakes, sandwiches, coffee drinks. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Gayle's.

When I’m nearby for work, I always come to Gayles. The food there is fresh, wholesome and very generous. Also their hot chocolate is one of the best! The service there is friendly and very much like a community. Ladies keep up the great work and thank you for taking caring of us.

“I stopped here for a coffee. The vibe here is nice, and the staff are friendly. I initially wanted food as well, but they only sell deli things which I wasn't in the mood for. There is indoor and outdoor seating and wellness food to purchase. The coffee was good, I had an iced latte. I'll revisit for that.”

“We decided to sit at The Laughing Yak which offers Nepalese cuisine. We ordered the following: Appetizers 1) Crispy Sweet Chilli Lamb with scotch bonnet & coriander jam 2) Buffalo Momo (see picture) Main 1)Thukpa: Pokhara Chicken (see picture) This was the only main course with meat on the menu so we both got the same dish. Everything tasted incredible, the quality and quantity of the food was great and although we waited a bit long to get the food, it was definitely worth it. A nice touch was the cucumber/mint water that they served us for free. We paid about 25 pounds per person which I think it is very reasonable for London standards. Great place!”

“I went here with my girlfriend and got the 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭. It was amazing! The food was fresh, the portion size was massive and everything was oozing with flavour. We also got the watermelon drink. It was super refreshing and is a great choice for anyone that loves fruit. As for the service, the founder was very hospitable, had great conversation skills, and made us feel at home. We were talking for so long that we didn't give her time to start making our food for a good while! I would definitely recommend this place. We have tried a lot of food spots from Tik Tok before that are really bland and this definitely isn't one of them!”

“There is a barista here who made me the best coffee I ever had. Queer vibes, stripy jumper and shorts. We went back specifically for the coffee but it wasn't as good when someone else made it. Went back a third time to the OG barista and it was just excellent again. I don't understand the science of it but I wish only they would make me coffee. Also I had this cream cheese cinnamon bun and it was fresh and delish. I sat on a stool and the music was nice. Gets very very busy at the weekend, in and out job, no space to chill.”
