I loved eating here! The food was not heavy but very filling .....I was full for hours after. Staff were friendly, but... My only gripe was that the brunch menu is only on weekends. I suggest maybe you should take pre paid brunch orders/reservations for the weekdays... If someone has travelled far to enjoy a bit of luxury healthy eating, it's not really fair to send them away with out what they want. I guess this is a happy medium! I would definitely visit again!!

How rude that they only have a cafe in Fulham ;) Stumble across this cafe when I was done with my PT session. The cafe is kinda tucked away from the main street but you definitely can't miss the pink building and see the name Rude Health Cafe. It's also opposite the Putney tube station. I only wanted a coconut latte but I was given more choices as they had a huge selection of non-dairy products for your coffee, and the lovely lady that I spoke to gave me a whole intro which product they use depending on what texture, the flavour they want to achieve. Just blew my mind so this is my go to cafe after my gym. Looking forward to explore the different drinks and flavour they are able to make from their product.
