Redemption Bar
Created by two empowered female entrepreneurs, Catherine Salway
and Andrea Waters, Redemption Bar is fully vegan, with an abundance
of delicious and nutritious breakfast options on their menu, including
multiple gluten-free and sugar-free choices. With three venues throughout
London (Covent Garden, Notting Hill and Shoreditch), Redemption Bar’s
motto is ‘Spoil yourself without spoiling yourself’, and their ethos is rooted
firmly in caring for the planet, its animals and people. You’ll find both
sweet and savoury breakfast options, including toasted banana bread
with chocolate chips, whipped coconut cream and date syrup (£6.95),
and the T.L.T — smoky fresh probiotic tempeh, avocado, baby gem lettuce
and tomato in a warm charcoal brioche bun (£10.50). Popular on the
menu is the adaptogenic creamy mushrooms, comprising shiitake, reishi,
chestnut, lion’s mane, chaga and nameko mushrooms in almond cream
and mustard with parsley, served on seeded toast (£13.95). They also have
an assortment of cold pressed juices, smoothies and ‘powered by plants’
spritzers — a stand out is the Humble Warrior tulsi and pomegranate,
made from 1500mg whole tulsi leaf, ginger, cinnamon, green tea,
pomegranate and beetroot (£5.50). You can also make it a booze-free
‘bottomless’ brunch, with a £2.50 add on for unlimited filtered still or
sparkling water, in line with the establishment’s alcohol-free philosophy.
