Brilliant coffee shop and restaurant. The burgers were particularly good. The service was friendly and attentive. I loved the fact that the place was open till 10pm as it felt like a place that all ages could hang out together. Well done one and all.

Been trying to come here for sometime..but parking is difficult. And spaces that are allocated are always taken up :( Clean, quiet atmosphere. It was too quiet, wouldn't recommend kids here. You end up getting stares. We had to walk over to the counter to get a menu and get seated. Coffee was ok and snacks wasn't too bad.

Coffee was really well prepared and the service was helpful and friendly. The food was good, it wasn’t anything super special but was everything you need. The internet is fast and allows for working very well. The only knock I have on the place is it is dark and a bit glumly

The place is very welcoming, they do a good job helping disadvantaged children from different countries. The food is nothing out of this world, really, but in general in London the food is terrible and well, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't repeat it. The service is very friendly, there is a very nice guy from Granada.

Delicious & affordable food, coffee and pastries at a cute coffee shop, and it’s all for charity!!! The staff are super nice as well. Both the chicken and kimchi toasties were absolutely mind blowing, and I don’t even like kimchi. Highly recommend this place for many reasons, especially because it’s for a good cause! Will definitely be a regular.

My friend and i went to study at root 25. The coffee s amazing and they even gave a biscoff biscuit with it! We tried their spinach roll which was a 5/10 mostly because it wasnt fulling as per the price. the kimchi melt was very tasty, a 10/10 but the quantity was again less for the price offered! Overall the experience was nice, its a perfect study space.

Me and my cousin visited today and we LOVED IT. The place feels so warm and welcoming making me want to visit again. It’s literally the best place to study and get work done. There’s also a prayer room which is so convenient especially if studying for a long period of time. Additionally, all the workers were so friendly and smiling which was so nice to see. And to top it all off, their profits literally go to charity! I can’t wait to visit this place again because the food was delicious and the vibe was so welcoming!

felt deeply uncomfortable by management and it was clear that they didn’t appreciate my patronage because of my sexuality, as i was with my girlfriend. the female manager couldnt hide her disgust towards me as a queer person while i was ordering my coffee - i felt like i was back in the 60s. would avoid if you’re queer.

Root 25: This great little cafe is near many different London transport spots, so it is easy to travel to. The food is very high quality, the hot sandwiches are made fresh to order, and the pastries are very fresh. I would highly recommend the Kimchi Melt and the Malacca Chicken toasties. The hot drinks are excellent, chai latte and oat latte are what we order most of when we visit. The location has a nice quiet vibe and a cosy, intimate feel. Most people appear to be studying/working or are in small social groups. The staff are very friendly, happy and very welcoming. my only complaint would be that it is not the type of place where your food will arrive quickly, so it would be best to go if you are not in a rush. While on the slightly more expensive side of the market, I would still recommend this cafe. Worth the visit.

I love the initiative of this place, and the people that run it. But honestly, this place is quite pricey and what you get for it doesn’t feel worth it. The coffee is really good, but the cups are so tiny compared to the price you pay (I paid £4.50 for a mocha half the size of a normal mug!) The sandwiches are quite pricey £6-£9 or more and they come out quite small. Once I got the chicken and pesto sandwich and it was basically a processed chicken slice you get from the supermarket with lots of mayo. I was hoping for the price it would be real chicken. I got the ‘French toast’ recently but it was basically lightly toasted plain bread with two strawberries and Greek yogurt with no sweetness at all - I only ate half of it because it tasted of nothing. Their plates are also super tiny so it’s very awkward to eat and not get food everywhere. I love that they are a charity and I will fully support their work, but constructive criticism is important too. I’ve been let down by the food and the prices quite a few times so this place probably won’t be my first choice because of the food and drinks. The atmosphere is lovely though and they have a prayer space which is great. I Hope some of this changes as I used to come a lot a few years back!

What a gem of a place. Was my first time visiting this week and we were welcomed with such warmth by the lovely staff who work there. The coffee and food were delicious and I love that the money goes towards charity. The decor was beautiful and I managed to pick up some inspiration from it for my own place. I even picked up a book to purchase which im looking forward to reading. Will definitely be back and have recommended this place to everyone I know!

Very pretty and low-lit atmosphere. Middle eastern cuisine, and it was superb. Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London. The cauliflower had a great sauce and crispness, my eggplant was really good despite my hesitation, and the flavors were super unique!! Would totally go back, not expensive considering how good it was.
