This is the best cafe in an otherwise terrible neighborhood. The cafe has a lovely interior, great food, and lovely staff. Many vegan options for breakfast, luncheon, smoothies, snacks, pastries and cakes. Right next door is the Belsize Streatery, which we didn't like at all. We didn't feel welcomed there as a gay-couple. The village cafe is the opposite: family-friendly, gay-friendly, inclusive. Don't go to any other places in Belsize, they are all bad, but the Village Cafe is great!!!
