Yurt Café Limehouse in Tower Hamlets

My wife and I met with friends in the Limehouse area last month. We wanted to go to a relaxing place, and the Yurt cafe fit the bill. It is a casual restaurant with a very friendly staff. The menu consists primarily of breakfast type foods, soups and salads. The cafe is housed in a large tent like structure, however once inside it looks like any other permanent structure. Prices seemed moderate for the area. Several of the customers were working on their lap tops and seemed welcomed by the staff.

Das Yurt Café hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es bietet in entspannter Atmosphäre günstige Kleinigkeiten zu Essen und Getränke. Wir haben dort sowohl deftige Speisen als auch selbst gebackenen Kuchen gegessen. Beides hatte eine sehr gute Qualität zu für für Londoner Verhältnissen günstigen Preisen. Das Café liegt zwar etwas außerhalb des Zentrums, aber dafür direkt an DLR-Station Limehouse, die nur zwei Stationen vom Towerhill bzw. Bank entfernt ist. Sehr schön ist zudem, dass man im Sommer draußen sitzen kann. Zudem ist das Café eine soziale Einrichtung und man tut mit dem Besuch etwas Gutes. Daher volle Punktzahl für das Yurt Café

Beautiful interior, great for working or hanging out with friends. Food is amazing and coffee is too. Would definitely recommend.

Rapid and friendly service. Great tasting food. Good portion size withoutout creating food waste. Functioning “pay it forward” system to buy food for others. Great space inside and out dog friendly. Good selection of greeting cards from local artists. Why more do you want? Just visit :)

This & St Katherine's Community Centre are excellent. A most comfortable place to stay with haute cuisine, great services & brilliant customer service comparative with other high class hotels. A beautiful & peaceful oasis in East London. Stay a while & enjoy!

Happened upon this café following sign from Limehouse when we were early. Delightful relaxed and cosy space with wood burner stove and great coffee and food. Offers a warm space to locals and is part if the St Katherine’s Christian community. Pure serendipity but we while away a very comfortable hour in a miserable day.

This place has a really cosy atmosphere, great coffee and tasty reasonably priced food on offer. Staff are pleasant.

We only stopped here for coffee but the vibe was lovely & relaxed and the service fab. Coffee was rather good too!

Popped here for an evening drink and live music. The atmosphere was great and the staff were all very welcoming. Just the place to chill.

The Yurt Cafe had in my opinion the best coffee in all of the cafes I went to in London over a few days. The staff is very friendly and it is such a lovely place to have a coffee/tea. The full English breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend to visit this place.

Discovered this whilst walking along the Thames ( slight deviation from riverbank). Service really nice and genuine. We had a toasted cheddar panini, never had one before which was enjoyable, well done.

My wife and I have been here once before when visiting our daughter, the food then was good, this time we had the full English breakfast and we were disappointed. Everything was pre-cooked including the poached eggs which were not runny. It came out luke warm on cold plates so very quickly it went cold. Hopefully a one off, will see next time.

Cool café, tucked in between the Railway Track, the Road and Housing. Less than 1 minute walk from LimeHouse DLR/C2C. Tasty breakfast, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, can only recommend.

Nice place pet friendly, good for outdoor eating, could do with some changes like menus on tables and faster ordering biggest issue is sides, £1.50 for tomatoes as a side dish and received half a baby tomato!

Situado nos jardins da fundação real st. Katherine, com opcoes biologicas, muito agradavel para um chá.

Stopped off for a beer and sandwich whilst exploring the area over the weekend. Staff were great and welcoming and food was lovely. Defiantly one to search out and enjoy whilst sitting in their outside area

Beautiful Yurt which creates a serene environment on the edge and hustle and bustle of Limehouse. Dinner and soft drinks for two less than £35 . Fresh ingredients, amazing flavours with friendly and courteous staff live music. Absolutely unique in London, well worth a visit.

I visited the Yurt Café for lunch. It is a wonderful tranquil place, with friendly staff. Even though it was cold I opted to eat outdoors. After I ordered indoors they brought my meal to my table. On previous occasions I've eaten indoors. It's a...

My husband had visited before with friends so he highly recommended Yurt Cafe when we were in London earlier this month. We both opted for a flat white and a full english breakfast, which was delightful. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were extremely...

Lovely place with nice drinks and very kind staff. Very close to DLR station which is always handy! It's surprisingly quiet considering that it's just next to train tracks. Do sit outside if the weather is good as it's a really nice space.

The crisp quality of the food and magnificent service makes this a real hidden gem. Warm and cozy on inside despite the bleak wet London weather outside. Staff so cheerful and helpful. Cannot recommend strongly enough. Delicious.

We ate at the Yurt cafe on a Thursday evening as we were staying nearby. The menu may be small and some might say niche, but we could not fault the cafe. The staff were friendly, service quick and excellent and the food really good...

Lovely laid back setting, friendly and efficient service and good food at a reasonable price. Music night on a Friday was brilliant. We will definitely go again.

We travelled over to this lovely little place from our hotel near London Bridge. We were there to watch some musicians that we know at an evening organised by Gabriel Moreno, a true gent of the London music scene. We loved the music, food and...

What a great find ! Friendly service, delicious food and loads of outdoor seating ! Fresh, healthy food in a glorious setting .... what more could you ask for ?

Good evening out at the Yurt Cafe; very relaxed Spring Saturday vibe. Attentive service staff, without being overly so. Would recommend and be back again

We are regular customers to the yurt since 2018 . We had take away breakfast , first time with smashed avocado on gluten free bread , supposed to be with feta , but was missing . Second time we had the same , we didn’t...

I love this place. I recently moved from Wapping (where there are a couple of lovely cosy coffee shops) to Limehouse (where there are fewer). I already knew about this place and had been a couple of times. Now it's my absolute favourite little haunt...

Like a fairytale! Atmosphere was super nice, personnel very friendly and the food was delicious! Everyone should visit this place!

A lovely chilled space and green oasis in an otherwise seedy area of London, which probably makes it more appealing to the clueless target demographic. The food is interesting though definitely suited more toward the trendy set (a filled donut for example is the better...

Great food, friendly service and wonderful jazz in a memorable setting. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Great place to sit indoors in the shade or outdoors in the sun watching the DLR trains go by (no noise as they are coming into or leaving the station. Lovely cared-for garden and decent coffee.

The Yurt Cafe is a little gem offering good coffee, a range of cakes/pastries etc. and simple light food in unusual surroundings. Conveniently sited right by Limehouse Station on the Docklands Light Railway and C2C lines, this cafe offers an excellent venue for a break....

Open daily 9-5. They serve good food and everyone is lovely. The ambience is very “yurt” and homey. Managed by royal charities I believe.

super good atmosphere but they need to work on food a bit more. I can say they have a very health menu and nice food but I find a bit limited. i can understand they don't have big kitchen. so if you planning to visit...

Fresh, tasty food and lovely people in an unusual setting. Well worth stopping by. Cafe is very close of DLR Limehouse station.

Cadre cosy et personnel hyper accueillant. Le vegan stew était bon, parfait pour un déjeuner tranquille

Lovely little cafe just off the path from lime house station. Serves a good selection of tea and coffee :)

Warm congenial atmosphere, with cosy wood-burning stove for physical warmth. Lovely food in a truly unique setting.

Been here several times for breakfast. Great food, great presentation and great prices. All in a unique setting. Try it you wont be disappointed, only seconds away from Limehouse DLR.

Great place that accomodates all and caters for all tastes and requirements. Very popular and well loved in the area as one of the best cafes around. Very friendly and welcoming

We stumbled across this place by accident but were very pleased we did. Lovely atmosphere with cheap food and drink. I had the bircher muesli and the others had cooked food - we all really enjoyed it.

I frequently visit the Yurt cafe as I live down the road in Shadwell. It is a fantastic place. The staff are very friendly, the decor is cute and welcoming, and the food is delicious (and insane value compared to average London prices!) I recommend...

The map provided isn't very informative so I ended up approaching from the Butcher Street end -- the chain link fence and scorched plants gave it a prison camp "welcome". There are many outdoor tables but only a few have umbrellas and these do not...

Quirky little cafe. Good prices for what you get, delicious latte and a mug of tea for about 6 quid.. Lovely staff, and lots of vegan options. Would definately visit again if we were in the area.

Visited the yurt about ten times now and the food and service is getting worse and worse. My food was undercooked to the point I was concerned to eat it. I took it back and did not even get an apology, just rudeness, to make...

I came here for a birthday party. The staff was attentive and friendly. It's pretty inside and out. I would recommend it if your ever in the area

Situated at the top of the Highway next to the Royal foundation of St Katherine’s you are visiting a quiet oasis on a busy network of roads. With good transport links the yurt cafe has wonderful surroundings and superb staff. The food is well priced,...

We have been for breakfast a few times now. The menu is pretty good, with good options for all tastes. The seats outside are really nice to sit at, on the grass embankment under an umbrella. The inside is pretty funky though *roasting* in summer....

A very hipstery bar just outside the Royal Foundation of St Katharine looked as if it might be the ideal spot for a cold drink after a long journey. Alas the young chap at the bar was way too busy in what seemed to his...

We were famished after missing breakfast- came in via Eurostar Calais Frethun to LONDON Pancras International route. After checking in at Holiday Inn Limehouse, walked through the neighborhood and found this Yurt Cafe in a community garden center. There was a short line so we...

Came here from brunch on a lovely sunny day and sat outside. Couldn’t get much better! I Would very much recommend the beans on toast (£4) and the avocado on toast (£4.5). Great value for money

I love this places the vibes are lovely all year round the coffee is good and made properly and the food devin!!

From J Boy of Derby This is the only yurt cafe in London, beautifully situated by Limehouse DLR, it has a large outside seating area for the summer months, and inside you are seated in a large tent with adequate heating. Good selection of cakes...

Had a lovely lunch here, really friendly, superb food, slightly quirky menu, but a number of great choices

Such a lovely cafe. I love going to relax or work, the yurt setting is lovely and relaxing. There is a nice outside space you can enjoy when it's sunny outside. The food is super nice too - I just wish there would be salad...

Great place for a coffee and breakfast. The being-in-a-tent-experience with other customers is really nice, especially when it rains. When the sun is out, you can sit outside.

Great, well cooked food, good coffee, laid back vibe, perfect to hang out in last weekend's miserable weather. That it's ethical and a true community hangout just added to the pleasure.

Un posto raro da trovare; un’oasi tranquilla e con un clima cordiale e piacevole. Il flat white era eccezionale, la...

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming for a couple of years. The food is consistently excellent. The coffee and cakes are great. The staff are amazingly friendly. To add to all that is the quirky community vibe. Today I’m outside as the weather...
