Sanctuary Cafe in Camden

I loved the idea. Post office, playground and coffee place in the church. We don't see that in Poland. This is a church for everyone!

He estado en el café del Santuario un par de veces y, a pesar de la impresionante iglesia y el entorno peculiar, siempre he encontrado que el servicio al cliente es bastante pobre. Hace unos años, quería traer un cachorro e hice una llamada telefónica de antemano para verificar si eso estaba bien. Al ser una empresa social que apoya a la comunidad, pensé que sería bienvenido. La señora del teléfono era bajita y muy grosera, y con un simple "No, no se permiten perros", interrumpió la llamada telefónica y colgó. Probablemente no pisará allí pronto, ya que realmente no veo cómo un cachorro podría perturbar o molestar a los clientes habituales, las familias y los niños que hacen uso del espacio.

Vinimos aquí mientras nuestros nietos jugaban en Hullabaloo en la iglesia. Servicio amable, pero desafortunadamente la sopa estaba fría y todo era muy caro - 1. 00 por un pequeño cartón de jugo de manzana

Sabroso café, buenos sandwiches, y el edificio es absolutamente precioso. Aunque ten cuidado con los gritos de los niños pequeños en el juego suave:)

Si me tome mis nietos a jugar aquí en el parque infantil normalmente ellos comprar algún pastel y una bebida. . Es tan caro, incluso para los estándares de West hampstead como 3 libras. 00 para una porción de la torta de banana que por 4 veces y añadir bebidas o un bocadillo. . . Realmente necesitas cuidar su bolsillo como un agregar fácilmente hasta alrededor de 30 libras o más, así que no es para todo el mundo, lo que me echó porque aparte de que es preciosa, y una gran idea tener todo eso bajo un mismo techo.

Went here with a few friends on Wednesday in half term and what a fantastic find. The place looks amazing, the food was lovely, menu a little bit limited but I only had coffee and cake and it was delicious, the lady on the soft play desk was super friendly had a little chat with her and she was so nice I even noticed her walking around clearing tables and talking to the other customers who she seemed to know so well which is somewhat nice to see in this day and age. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves had to drag them out crying. Will defiantly be making this a weekly thing to do. The staff make this place for me.

Since discovering the sherrif centre (when my son was about 6 months old) it has been great help to have a place like this to go to! Easy to access with a pram, Soft play, cafe, and post office, such a brilliant idea for the community. We love the food from the cafe. (Soo much better than other soft plays) Its not cheap, but portions are generous and its worth it. There have been quite a few times when theyve got my order wrong, but I have never made a big fuss because i know they can get busy, and it must not be that easy dealing with toddlers and stressed out parents all day! However there have been quite a few occasions when there are some really unfriendly staff, and I just dont understand whats the point of being like that. A little friendliness goes a long way.

I took my 2-year-old daughter to the café, hoping she would enjoy the play area but, alas, we did not take into account the rude thoughtless staff that guard the place. My daughter was just over 2 years old at the time (25 months old), but the playrea-guard said that, since she was over 2, she had to play in the area for older kids which is absolutely unsuitable for a 2-year-old and is full of older kids, running around, just as you would expect. I pleaded with the guard, to no avail. I finally ended up explaining to my daughter that since there were stupid adults enforcing stupid rules, she was not going to able to enjoy the play area. The food is mediocre. The old couches smell.

What a lovely place to meet with friends, family or colleagues for drinks or a meal. It is so nice to find a place where babies, young children, parents and pensioners were all made equally welcome. A real community centre, with friendly staff and an exciting play area for children. The cakes were divine too! Thank you.

The staff were helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the savoury food which was tasty and wholesome, the cake was scrummy - all washed down with several pots of tea! Perfect! My granddaughter enjoyed the soft play area and I had a chance to relax with friends.

Great quality, value and service. Lovely atmosphere. Cant wait to go back. I do like all the changes that they have made recently.

I visit the soft play regularly (I have a loyalty card) and love it. But the cafe has always struck me as mediocre and today the lady at the counter was so rude and dismissive I will not be eating there again. They had run out of soup which was a real issue as my picky toddler had his heart set on soup. I managed to persuade him to try pasta and went back to order it but the look on her face was shocking. You would think I had insulted her mother and grandmother when all I did was have to deal with an unhappy toddler who wanted soup. I asked if soup usually ran out which is important as I didn't want to ever offer him soup in there again if this was regular and she acted as if I was asking her to lend her £50! Then when she brought over the pasta she slammed it on the table with the most sour look on her face. Really appalling behaviour. And it was disgusting. It was both bland and with about half a pot of black pepper in it. My toddler ate about three spoons before demanding rice cakes. We left and went to Gail's. don't go there until they replace their staff and their cook.

What's not to like - a cafe (with fantastic staff!!!!!) in a church that flies a rainbow flag! With a children's soft play area, kid's movies, and a post office! What's not to like! :-)

Friendly and helpful staff, wonderful cake, brilliant to see a church coming alive like this, wish I could have stayed for hours, reading books on the sofas

This cafe is situated in a beautiful church along with a post office and childrens play area. The food has been delicious each time I have been there and the staff always friendly. Salads, soups, sandwiches, and cakes, all made on premesis, and they even serve wine too. Yum. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the west hampstead area. (I noticed someone unhappy with the no dogs allowed rule... but there are so many mums with kids and prams around it doesn't take a genius to see that it makes perfect sense not to have dogs in there too.. it only takes one kid to pull on a tail before things take a bad turn!)

This was such a good idea, a place for the community and a way to save the post office. However, it seems to have gone dangerously off mission. Largely, it seems ,due to an overly aggressive manageress/ supervisor. Initially dogs were allowed , even welcomed...

This working church does multiple duties as a post office, a playground, a cafe (and church). It's a great spot to stop for a coffee and cake (proceeds go back into the centre). It's not a peaceful place, as it's a popular spot for folks...
