A Plant-Powered Kentish Town Favorite
The Fields Beneath is exactly the kind of café that makes you want to live in Kentish Town. Located right under the train tracks, it has this unpretentious charm that you don't find everywhere. The coffee is genuinely excellent—sourced directly from a friend in Costa Rica, which you can taste in the quality.
Food-wise, they've nailed the vegan game without trying too hard. The mushroom gyro is a standout—Lebanese-style flatbread loaded with oyster mushrooms, spiced potato, and their house tahini. The tofu wrap with chilli crisp and sesame tahini is another winner if you're in the mood for something crunchy and flavorful. Everything's made from scratch, and you can tell they care about what they're serving.
It's not flashy, but that's the point. This is a neighborhood café where regulars know each other, the staff remember your order, and you can actually have a conversation without shouting. Perfect for a quiet breakfast before work or a casual lunch with a friend.

Situé juste sous les rails de la gare de Kentish Town West, The Fields Beneath est une pépite végétale qui séduit les locaux depuis 2012. L'ambiance est décontractée et authentique, loin des cafés touristiques. Le café, directement importé du Costa Rica, est d'une qualité remarquable—on sent le soin apporté à chaque tasse.
La cuisine 100% végétale est excellente sans être prétentieuse. Le gyro aux champignons est un incontournable : pain plat libanais garni de champignons pleurotes, pomme de terre épicée et tahini maison. Le wrap au tofu avec chili-crisp et tahini sésame est également un excellent choix si vous aimez les textures croquantes et les saveurs audacieuses. Tout est fait maison, et on sent l'attention portée aux ingrédients.
Ce n'est pas un endroit branché, mais c'est exactement ce qui le rend spécial. Un café de quartier où les habitués se connaissent, où le personnel se souvient de votre commande, et où vous pouvez vraiment discuter sans avoir à crier. Parfait pour un petit-déjeuner tranquille avant le travail ou un déjeuner décontracté entre amis.
