Root25 116B Bow Road, London E3 3AA

"Have visited this place a few times, especially on Friday evenings. Really nice and cosy place to enjoy a chilled evening with a hot drink. The owners are really friendly, attentive and accommodating making you feel welcome and at home. The drinks are great and the evening menu is diverse with a lot of choice. The atmosphere is relaxing and there’s usually special nights/themes the café hosts up on Friday evenings, which is really enjoyable. The priority does appear to be for its charity and you can buy various books and arts too, which is really great. Recommend for anyone to enjoy a comfortable social evening with some lovely food."

"The staff was absolutely lovely and helpful. We had really nice coffee and an shared an Almond Croissant. Good selection of Pastries and menu items. Will definitely come back!"

"The Root25 is a nice place on mainer street in Bow. The Interior is very nice decorated, staff was very friendly. However, the place for studying was quite busy and noisy at that time. The coffee was nice, although nothing special and the price was a bit higher, even there is an extra charge for Oat milk. Jackfruit roll with a small side salad was tasty, however, I expected more vegan food options."

"Whether it's for a catch up with a friend or just to take time out on your own, Root25 has all the vibes. The decor is lovely and the concept is great - it's a not for profit venturr with everything going towards Restless Beings which is a human rights charity. The service was great as the staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food is different to your typical coffee house hangout and with a selection of savoury and sweet dishes, there's sure to be something on the menu for everyone's taste. The vegan options are the best I've tried without compromising on taste and quality. Root25 hands down serve the best vegan hot chocolate that I've had. It's rich & full of flavour with an option to add syrup if you prefer a sweeter hot chocolate. My overall experiences both times have been extremely pleasant and I'll definitely be doing detours on my journeys just so I can visit again especially for the hot chocolate!!"

"Really nice decor and vibe. We parked on a side road (back holiday). I liked the smell of incense in the air, but my husband want a fan (reminded him of graveyards) Food is halal We ordered the all day breakfast which was nice and coffees. They looked nice, but found it a little bitter. Staff were friendly and responsive on social media. Would love to visit again and try the kimchi melt. Nice place for a catch up"
