· East London
A stylish plant-based cafe with excellent coffee, standout pancakes, and a laptop-friendly downstairs space, but policies, service inconsistencies, and auto service charge can frustrate.
The verdict
Gecko Coffeehouse delivers solid cafe-quality performance anchored by strong coffee and pancake execution and stylish, plant-filled interior design. However, quality variability—ranging from exceptional to disappointing across visits—and mixed service interactions including occasional rudeness prevent it from reaching higher territory. The 12.
One caveat: Service can be slow or curt at peak times; several guests describe forgotten items or delayed drinks
