Our Reviews

Blimey!!! ✅✅ Courtesy of my friend, I ventured to your cafe to be greeted by excellent hosts and mouth watering delicacies that I could only find in tucked away, reserved, ‘The vibes!!’ Presumptuous as it is, I simply suggest you include more vegan options to lend yourselves to the hearts of enticed paramours.

Fabulous food served by lovely people, what more do you need? Café The Vibes has a covered area downstairs looking out over the canal. During stage 2 of unlocking this makes it a great place to eat outdoors. We've been there two Sundays in a row because our first experience was so good. We're a very awkward couple for restaurants. My better half is gluten free and I'm a plant based eater so have to have vegan food. Café The Vibes is great for gluten free breakfast because their lovely Cumberland sausages are all gluten free and they also offer good gluten free bread and toast. For me they do smashed avocado on sourdough but this normally comes with a poached egg. So, I swap the poached egg for spinach and add mushrooms. It also comes with a nice mini salad on the side. Yummy! The absolute star of this show is the extremely polite young man who served us on both Sunday mornings. He was so keen to help and very attentive. By the way, all the other young staff were very polite so it looks like whoever runs this café has picked great staff and trained them very well. The food tastes great. The portions are generous and really nicely presented. The prices are also reasonable. There is literally nothing they could do better. To conclude I'd like to thank the owners and staff at Café the Vibes for doing a great job and staying open. We will continue to be frequent visitors.

Good location and menu. Lucky to find this gem by the Canal having walked along the tow path from The Grove. Nice Mediterranean style good and good quality coffee. Good outdoor seating overlooking the Canal.

Delightful Brunch Came here for brunch after moving to the area. Had already seen great things online and it did not disappoint. I had the French toast which was amazing, and my partner had the combo of a fry up alongside French toast which looked great and he couldn’t compliment enough. The food is reasonably priced considering the quality of everything. They even had a nice little outside seating area by the canal which would be lovely in the warmer weather. Definitely think we will be frequent visitors!

Spectacular breakfast Really enjoyed breakfast here on a Saturday morning just before heading back to London after a week on the Grand Union Canal. We all (4) ordered quite substantial breakfasts (to varying degrees) so I expected a bit of a wait but it was all delivered in great time. Mine won the prize for the heftiest - as the name Papa Grande would suggest! I cleared my plate but didn't need to eat until tea time. And while the breakfast was substantial it wasn't from the pile 'em high school of presentation - we were all impressed by the way our meals were laid out and it wasn't just style over substance, as we all agreed they tasted fantastic. The staff were friendly and efficient too. Definitely a winner for us and set me up nicely for the journey home and beyond.

Excellent lunch! Perfect location for lunch, we sat overlooking the canal which was beautiful. The food was excellent and the service by our lovely waitress Ruby even better!!! She was so attentive, as we had to be somewhere at a certain time she was making sure we were served quickly. Would definitely recommend this cafe.

great food BUT very long wait ! lovely bubbly young waitresses . Breakfast - food was v.good, but having to wait nearly an hour. Nice look out over canal.

Stopped in for breakfast. Stopped in for breakfast. I had a great seat in the lovely canal side sitting area (under cover). Service was terrific and, most importantly, so was the food. Great range on the menu and would definitely eat here again.
