Two-Story Vegan Commuter Café Opens in London

Two-story vegan eatery Yeda Café recently opened at the Seven Dials road junction in the Covent Garden neighborhood of London. The 930-square-foot space features a grab-and-go café on the ground floor and a relaxed lounge area in the basement. Created by entrepreneur Elena Luzhkova, Yeda aims to fill a gap in the London market for healthy vegan food on the go. The café’s menu focuses on vegan salads, sandwiches, wraps, as well as hot main dishes such as chickpea coconut curry, and all-day breakfasts such as cheesy breakfast burritos and scrambled tofu. All meals are served in recyclable and compostable packaging. “In our search for a debut location for Yeda Café in the UK, Seven Dials was a stand-out choice for its unique dining line-up, attracting both Londoners and tourists alike,” Luzhkova told Essential Retail. “The destination is the ideal platform for a new brand to make its mark in London’s impressive, and increasingly plant-oriented food landscape, and we’re thrilled to have launched our latest venture within this innovative and receptive community.”
