Yurt Cafe

We opened our doors in November 2015 as part of the new community project St. Katharine’s Precinct.  The Yurt Cafe is a Social Enterprise run by Royal Foundation of St. Katharine (Charity 223849). We wanted to create a space that was warm, fun and welcoming to people from all walks of life.  So come down for craft coffee, delicious homemade food, cakes, pastries, beer, wine and even cocktails – we also have a very special brunch menu on the weekends. The Cafe recently won the Time Out #LoveLondon Best Cafe Award 2016 for Poplar, Shadwell & Wapping.

We source our food locally where possible (we’re starting to grow vegetables in our gardens), pay our staff a living wage and aim to keep our menu affordable and any surpluses are reinvested into our work in the community We also host events in the space including music, poetry, and discussion
