That’s Vapore

Unfortunately That’s Vapore did not tickle my fancy. We had it delivered and none of us really liked it. I had the Vegetable Curry and to be honest, it was quite tasteless. I love the steamed concept and being healthy, but there are a lot of fast and healthy options around here that actually taste quite nice! The Ham and Cheese panini was also quite sad, and nothing very special. I’m sorry! :(

I was meandering down Baker Street trying to find something healthy for lunch that wasn’t salad or sushi. Which is damn near impossible on this street unless you want to drop £20 at Selfridges for a ration of fancy organic chicken and a green bean salad. Then, I spotted Vapore right on the corner. Loathe to eat a subpar salad another day, I went in to check it out.
As the other reviews have noted, they steam all the dishes here. You can choose a variety of bowls, most with a base of rice, quinoa or rice. They also have plenty of veggie and non veggie options. You can’t make you’re own bowl to steam, but I was pretty pleased with the variety of the selection. I walked out with a delicious egg scramble bowl with chorizo, peppers and potatoes. And it was good! The dish was hot, they didn’t skimp on the toppings, and I was surprised by the addition of fresh sprigs of rosemary. And, it was less than £4!
I’ll definitely be back when I’m having another «I want to be healthy, but please for the love of God, no more salad» day.

The place is clean and staff really friendly.
Outdoor seating available. Just pray smokers aren’t ruining the opportunity to sit outside. Nice piped music in the background. Coffee is ok but they’re not a coffee shop. Food is awesome. .fresh, healthy and affordable.

I’ve been waiting for That’s Vapore to open down the street from us for quite some time. I was finally able to go and check it out this week.
I knew it was a steaming food concept, but I thought you would be able to choose what you wanted steamed. It’s not — they have already made boxes with different items that you choose so if there’s something in the box that you don’t like tough luck. It’s already made. There’s a window next to the cashier where you can read what’s in each, order from the cashier, pay and they generate a fun name for you when they call your order when ready. For instance, my order name was Snow White. «Snow White, your order’s ready» — no joke.
Food: The food overall was good and tasty. I ordered the Oriental Chicken and the Jambalaya box. The Jambalaya definitely had a kick. The portions are generous and you definitely feel full afterwards.
Drinks: No drinks.
Price: 14.20 GBP for two boxes and no drinks.
Ambiance: The space was nice and there was plenty of places to sit inside and out.
Service: The service was very friendly and helpful.
Would I go back? Yes, it’s down the block and it’s nice to have something new in the neighbourhood that’s healthy.

Ooh new lunch place on Baker Street. I passed by on my way back to the office and was lured in by their free samples of carrot, ginger, pear, juice. How did they know I was craving such a thing?
All their food was 50% off. Must have been a grand opening sale but I had a sashimi salad and Volcano juice for about 8 GBP. The salad was fresh, though pretty over-​seasoned with black pepper. I would have liked some citrus to lighten it up.
They’re playing up the steam thing pretty hard with the décor, which makes it feel a bit kitchy but overall, A-​OK lunch spot
