"Run by Yolanda Antonopolou, the peaceful whole-food café at Hackney Wick’s old Art Deco baths serves a short, almost vegan lunch built around organic bean and lentil stews remembered from her grandmother’s kitchen — choose a pulse such as XXL ygantes or green lentils with sprouted quinoa and add a topping like barrel-aged feta or pickles; there are also Cretan dakos, crisp spanakopites and light tahini or graviera toasties, and the adjacent photography studio means celebrity sightings aren’t uncommon." - Eater Staff
"Founded and run by Yolanda Antonopolou of Gaia Pulses, this peaceful whole-food café in Hackney Wick occupies an old Art Deco public baths and channels her grandmother’s recipes: think long-prepared fasolada and strict rules like using Aegean sea salt and adding extra-virgin olive oil at the end. The short, almost-vegan lunch menu is built around organic bean and lentil stews — try XXL ygantes with red peppers or green lentils and sprouted quinoa with garlic, dill and oregano — which can be finished with toppings such as barrel-aged feta, black olives or pickled vegetables. Other highlights include Cretan dakos, crisp spanakopites and light brunch options like tahini on toast or graviera cheese toasties, served in a homely space complete with crocheted tablecloths and an adjacent photography studio where celebrity sightings are not uncommon." - Shekha Vyas
