The Larder Bethnal Green

Great cafe tucked in a nice, real neighborhood. Away from the tourist bustle and ideal destination for a quiet walk on the rare sunny Saturday.

Found this perfect spot by using my trusty Yelp app and searching 'vegetarian' as I felt I wanted to be particularly healthy today (instead of heading for a pizza fix;) Popped in here for lunch inbetween things on a stressy/busy day and this totally chilled me out.
I was there a lil early for lunch actually, and so ended up ordering from the brekky menu - was amazing! This is a simple menu, but the pancakes were beyond perfect. They even let me substitute strawberries for the banana :) Crunchy, cute and just the perfect filling amount, served with yogurt and maple syrup. The space was open, welcoming and had free wi-fi, which makes me so happy these days. Staff were friendly and even came over to update me on the status on my food. Will be back very soon!

It's one of the better cafes I've been to. It's intimate and well equipped to handle couples to large groups, great for a evening recharge or a catch-up, perfect for most occasions really. Prices are affordable and they accept all payment methods, the servers are friendly and very welcoming. The only fault is that menus are only at the register which they don't tell you about but that's not a major problem. I would recommend it.

The coffee was good but the food was terribly bland and very expensive. The "smoky beans" were not "smoky" by any sense of the definition, and were just as tasteless as the rest of the stuff I ordered.

Quick and delicious breakfast stop for a Saturday morning. The pain au chocolat was flaky and scrumptious; Mexican breakfast and the cheese omelette were delish. Wish we had time to try the vegan ice cream!

I came here because my mom and visiting and staying nearby. I live a little farther away but I will definitely be back again soon. I didn't even know (or particularly care) that it was vegetarian. We went three days in a row because of the delicious breakfast. I know nothing about the other food but if you are around before noon, check this place out. The lattes are made perfectly and even with some of the latte art I love but I know I have no ability for. My personal favorite are the blueberry pancakes folded around yoghurt with maple syrup. I've never had anything quite like them and fell in love.

The place itself is adorable. There is a pretty garden in the back and inside there are tables and couches and displays of things they sell around the cafe.

Just go. Try it.

A welcome addition to Bethnal Green: Decently priced decent food.

A nice posh-looking café with kind of expensive but pretty decent coffee, nice salads, and organicish juices and whatnot.

I've tended to avoid the slightly overpriced daily specials, but the salad selection (there are usually 3-4 inventive & filling salads that you can get with a Spanish tortilla for around a fiver.

Totally decent, nothing special, which is unfortunate, given the utterly massive choice of pubs in the area.

Well done Larder! I got a vegan cauliflower-quinoa- kidney bean bake (topped with yeast powder, sounds gross but is good). The bake was quite tasty, with a nutty tomato base. I also got a corn, broccoli and quinoa side salad as well as a sliced carrot, raisin and peanut salad in a delicious viniagrette dressing. Basically a awesome veg place that also serves sandwiches, quiches, dosas and coffees/teas.

Situated in the back of the Buddhist Centre, it's a great place for Sunday breakfast/lunch or for stocking up your home larder with good stuff:)
The earthy colours provide perfect environment for the organic, solely vegan and vegetarian dishes they serve. Choice is quite limited (around 10 dishes), but well composed. You can complement your lunch with homemade cakes (also with vegan selection and they taste surprisingly good!) and decent coffee.
The little garden in the backyard and the children area gives it homely, relaxed feeling. Plus friendly and efficient stuff.
They also offer organic products from independent companies, like granolas, chocolates, chutneys, jams, pastas, etc. (slightly more expensive than in the shops though).

One of my favourite cafes in East London! Cosy, cute, authentic with reasonable prices.... And now there's WiFi...
