Absolutely loved it! Came to Gecko for the first time today, the staff were so lovely and helpful, and the atmosphere is amazing! It reminded me a lot of Bali - tropical, relaxed and vibrant. It was a cozy space to get some work done, with a plug and water nearby. Although I found the Chai latte to be very spicy, to have first thing in the morning, the coffee was perfect!

Loved the atmosphere, the design and music! Very friendly staff. Nice place to enjoy brunch or coffee. Didn’t try food this time, had just peppermint tea, but I will definitely return!

Nice vegan café with an excellent internal decor and welcoming staff. I had a cortado and it came in a small neat wooden tray with a short glass of water. That is a very nice touch and a complimentary element to coffee that is sadly not widespread in this country. I also had half an aubergine and pomegranate sandwich that had a fresh acidic punch to it and was served in a great bread. The owner asked me about my opinion on it and we had a pleasant conversation. If you are feeling like having a nice vegan selection of choices and good coffee served with great form, Gecko Coffeehouse is your place to go.
